X-ray structure of KCs[Pd(NO3)4]·0.5H2O

A new Pd nitrate complex KCs[Pd(NO₃)₄]·0.5H₂O is synthetized. Its crystal structure contains isolated complex anions [Pd(NO₃)₄]²⁻, cations K⁺, Cs⁺, and crystallization water. Square-planar coordination around Pd is achieved by oxygen atoms of monodentate nitrate ligands. The coordinated nitrate ligands are all oriented in the same way, in a “basket”-like arrangement. The coordination around Pd is completed to 4+1 by forming Pd...Pd contacts of 3.564 ?. Original Russian Text Copyright ? 2009 by S. P. Khranenko, I. A. Baidina, N. V. Kuratieva, and S. A.

The crystals of I containing two geometric isomers of the complex anions [Co(Ida)₂]⁻ were obtained by a slow cooling of a hot solution, which contained initially only the cis-isomer. One Ba atom in I interacts with the trans-complex and with two cis-complexes to give a three-dimensional framework in crystal I. The positive charge of the last framework is compensated by one more trans-complex and by the perchlorate ions, one of which acts as a bidentate ligand with respect to the Ba atom. The crystals of II are built of the chains with the alternating Ba atoms and the trans-(N)-[Co(Ida)₂]⁻ anions. The other anions of the same structure are each “suspended” to the Ba atoms of the chain. Original Russian Text ? M. Zabel, A.I. Poznyak, V.I.

Compound I is monoclinic with space group P2₁ and data of unit cell: a = 6.6518(13), b = 10.373(2), c = 11.091(2) ?, β = 93.61(3)°, V = 763.7(3) ?³, ρ _c = 2.421 g/cm³, μ(MoK _α) = 3.885 mm⁻¹, Z = 2, R ₁ = 0.0194 for 3312 reflections with F _o > 2σ(F _o). The Nd ions are nine-coordinated by one oxygen atom of coordinated water and eight oxygen atoms of sulfates. Compound I displays the layer structure constructed by linking Nd ions with three-linkage SO₄ tetrahedra as the bridge (affording one coordinated vertex and coordinated edge). Compound II crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with unit cell data: a = 6.594(13) ?, b = 14.783(3) ?, c = 16.599(3) ?, β = 93.47(3)°, V = 1614.2(6) ?³, ρ _c = 2.454 g/cm³, μ(MoK _α) = 5.37 mm⁻¹, Z = 4, R ₁ = 0.0259 for 1815 reflections with F _o > 2σ(F _o).

The straight chain-like structure of II is attained by alternatively arranging HoO₈ polyhedra and two-linkage SO₄ tetrahedra (affording two coordinated vertices). The TG results indicate that the two compounds experience three weight losses and lead to distinct residues: Nd₂O₃ for I and HoO(SO₄)_0.5 for II.

For complex II, the Dy³⁺ ion is nine-coordinated by a Ttha ligand, yielding a pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic conformation, and the complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P2₁/c. In addition, there is a free non-coordinate carboxyl group (-CH₂COO⁻) in the [Dy(Ttha)]³⁻ complex anion. The crystal data are as follows: a = 10.353(3), b = 12.746(4), c = 23.141(7) ?, β = 91.005(5)°, V = 3053.2(15) ?³, Z = 4, space group P2₁/c ρ_c = 1.730 g/cm³, μ = 2.532 mm⁻¹, F(000) = 1620, R = 0.0332 and wR = 0.0924 for 5390 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). For complex III, the Dy³⁺ ion is eight-coordinated by a ligand Cydta and two water molecules, yielding a distorted square antiprismatic conformation, and the complex crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P . The crystal data are as follows: a = 8.604(3), b = 10.012(4), c = 14.369(6) ?, α = 88.330(6)°, β = 75.363(6)°, γ = 88.285(6)°, space group P V = 1196.9(8) ?³, Z = 2, ρ_c = 1.776 g/cm³, μ = 3.194 mm⁻¹, F(000) = 644, R = 0.0445 and wR = 0.1041 for 3931 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I).
