Novel Complexes of Zinc(II) with Different Proton Transfer Ion Pairs Obtained from Dipicolinic Acid: Synthesis, Characterization and X-ray Crystal Structure

Abstract  Three new complexes of zinc(II) with three different proton transfer compounds, obtained from pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (dipicolinic acid) and different Lewis bases, were synthesized and characterized using IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The chemical formulae and space groups of the complexes are (pipzH₂)[Zn(pydc)₂] · 4H₂O, P2₁/n (1), (EDGnH₂)[Zn(pydc)₂] · 3H₂O, P2₁/c (2) and (pdaH₂)[Zn(pydc)₂] · 4H₂O, (3) where pydc, pipz, EDGn and pda are standing for dipicolinic acid, piperazine, ethylenediguanidine and 1,3-propanediamine respectively. Cell parameters of the complexes are a = 7.9493(4) ?, b = 13.4386(7) ?, c = 21.0557(11) ?, β = 90.415(5)° for 1; a = 9.785(3) ?, b = 25.671(4) ?, c = 9.3402(16) ?, β = 90.790(17)° for 2 and a = 8.411(5) ?, b = 11.650(7) ?, c = 12.793(8) ?, α = 115.534(9)°, β = 92.791(10)°, γ = 97.778(10)° for 3. The three crystal structures illustrate that the metal ion is six-coordinated by two pydc’s. In all three compounds a large number of O–H⋯O, N–H⋯O and C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed. These interactions as well as other noncovalent interactions such as ion–pairing and π–π stacking play an important role in the formation and stabilization of supramolecular systems in the crystal lattices.

Abstract  A novel aromatic polycarboxylate polymer, [Zn₂(bipy)₂(btec)(H₂O)₂]_n (1), has been synthesized and structurally characterized by the single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 belongs to the triclinic crystal system, space group P-1; a = 7.7449(6) ?, b = 8.9286(8) ?, c = 10.7422(8) ?, α = 80.95(1)°, β = 70.21(1)°, γ = 78.14(1)°, V = 680.93(10) ?³, Z = 2. The coordination geometry of Zn(II) atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal with two nitrogen atoms of one 2,2′-bipy group, two oxygen atoms from two different btec ligands, and one water. The 16-membered rings are alternately arranged forming an infinite 1-D double-chain structure. A 3-D network was constructed by interlayer C···H–O, O···H–O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions. Compound 1 exhibits fluorescence at room temperature in the solid state.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure Analysis of Thiourea-Pendant Pyridines

Abstract  The crystal structures of pyridine containing thiourea moieties as substituents, (1) and (2), have been determined. The ortho-substituted pyridine (1) crystallized in monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 16.091(3) ?, b = 11.368(2) ?, c = 7.4364(14) ?, β = 100.489(4)o, V = 1337.5(4) ?³, z = 4. In this structure an intramolecular N–H···N hydrogen bond forms a pseudo-seven-membered ring. The meta-substituted pyridine (2) crystallized in monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 14.5408(15) ?, b = 8.8508(9) ?, c = 10.7959(11) ?, β = 106.435(2)o, V = 1332.6(2) ?³, z = 4. Crystal packing revealed that compounds (1) and (2) can form dimeric structures via intermolecular H-bonding using N–H···S and N–H···N interactions, respectively. Graphical Abstract  Varying the substituent position on the pyridine ring using thiourea moieties gave unique molecular aggregations in solid state structures.      

Structural, Spectroscopic and Thermal Characterisation of bis (dibenzoylmethanato)Cd(II) Adducts with Dimethylsulfoxide and Water

Abstract  Adducts of cadmium(II) dibenzoylmethate, Cd(dbm)₂X₂ (X = DMSO, H₂O) were synthesized and analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential-scanning calorimetry (DSC), hot-stage microscopy (HSM), single crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Products obtained by thermal decomposition of the two Cd(II) complexes in oxygen, were used for quantitative analysis of cadmium in the adduct molecules. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the DMSO adduct revealed that it has cis configuration. The DMSO adduct crystallizes in P2₁/a space group, a = 17.2494(6) ?, b = 8.3251(4) ?, c = 22.2746(9) ?, β = 93.836(3)°, V = 3191.53(7) ?³, Z = 4.
