The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of hexafluorosilicate salts with organic cations (R)₂[SiF₆] (where R = 2-picolinium (1), 2,6-lutidinium (2) and 2,4,6-collidinium (3)) and R[SiF₆]·2H₂O (where R = tetramethylethylenediammonium (4)) are reported. The salts were prepared by the reaction of methyl substituted pyridines or tetramethylethylenediamine with hydrogen fluoride solution and subsequent addition of silica. The crystal structures of 1, 2 and 4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The effect of hydrogen bonding on the elongation of the SiF bonds is discussed.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of polymeric ionic triorganotin esters of 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid and 5-nitroisophthalic acid

The triethylammonium dicarboxylatotriorganostannates, [(C₂H₅)₃NH][R₃Sn(3,5-pdc)]?·?mH₂O (3,5-pdc?=?3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate) (m?=?1, R?=?Me 1; m?=?0, R?=?Ph 2, PhCH₂ 3, n-Bu 4), [(C₂H₅)₃NH][R₃Sn(5-nip)] (5-nip?=?5-nitroisophthalate) (R?=?Me 5, Ph 6, PhCH₂ 7, n-Bu 8) have been prepared from triethylamine, 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 5-nitroisophthalic acid and triorganotin chloride. Complexes 1–8 have been characterized by elemental, IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR analyses. Complexes 1, 2, 5 and 6 are also determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. For 1, 2, 5 and 6, each carboxylate moiety is involved in coordination to a tin center via only one O atom showing that the Sn atoms are five-coordinate and exist in trigonal bipyramidal geometries. Moreover, for 2, 5 and 6, the nitrogen atoms of ammonium are hydrogen bonded to the pendant carboxyl oxygen. In 1, adjacent polymeric chains and triethylammonium are linked by hydrogen bonds through the co-crystallized water molecule, thus a 2D network is formed.

Introduction Metal thiolato complexes have been extensively investigated because of their ability to adopt various nuclearities and their relevance in biological science, since they form the inorganic part of the biologically active centers of some metalloproteins and enzymes.1-3 Recently, attention has been paid to the coordination chemistry of heterocyclic thiol/thione donors, which can give potential access to new compounds with unusual structures and reactivities,4 such as 2-mercaptobenzo-…     

Hydrogen bonds in the crystal packings of mesalazine and mesalazine hydrochloride

The crystal structures of pharmaceutical product mesalazine (marketed also under different proprietary names as Salofalk, Asacol, Asacolitin, and Claversal) and its hydrochloride are reported. In the crystal mesalazine is in zwitterion form as 5-ammoniosalicylate (1) whereas mesalazine hydrochloride crystallizes in an ionized form as 5-ammoniosalicylium chloride (2). Compound 1 (C₇H₇O₃N) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 3.769(1) Å, b = 7.353(2) Å, c = 23.475(5) Å, β = 94.38(2)°, V = 648.7(8) ų, Z = 4, D_c = 1.568 g cm⁻³ and μ(MoK) = 1.2 cm⁻¹. Compound 2 (C₇H₈O₃NCl) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with a = 4.4839(2) Å, b = 5.7936(2) Å, c = 15.6819(5) Å, = 81.329(3)°, β = 88.026(3)°, γ = 79.317(4)°, V = 395.74(3) ų, Z = 2, D_c = 1.591 g cm⁻³ and μ(CuK) = 40.8 cm⁻¹. The crystal structures were solved by direct methods and refined to R = 0.041 for 1 and 0.028 for 2, using 607 and 1374 observed reflections, respectively. The configuration of both molecules, with the ortho hydroxyl to a carboxyl group, favours the intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Very complex systems of intermolecular hydrogen bonds were observed in both crystal packings. They are discussed in terms of graph-set notation. The mesalazine crystal structure is characterized by two-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds in the ab plane. The crystal structure pattern of mesalazine hydrochloride is a three-dimensional network significantly supported by N⁺---HCl⁻ interactions.     

Syntheses and characterization of triorganotin complexes: X-ray crystallographic study of triorganotin pyridinedicarboxylates with trinuclear, 1D polymeric chain and 2D network structures

A series of new triorganotin(IV) pyridinedicarboxylates [(C₂H₅)₃NH][(Me₃Sn)₃(2,6-pdc)₂(H₂O)₂] (1), [(C₂H₅)₃NH][(Ph₃Sn)₃(2,6-pdc)₂(H₂O)₂] (2), [(C₂H₅)₃NH]{[(PhCH₂)₃Sn]₃(2,6-pdc)₂(H₂O)₂} (3), [Me₃Sn(3,5-pdc)]_n (4), [Ph₃Sn(3,5-pdc)]_n (5), [(PhCH₂)₃Sn(3,5-pdc)]_n (6), [(Me₃Sn)₂(2,5-pdc)]_n (7), [(Ph₃Sn)₂(2,5-pdc)]_n (8) and {[(PhCH₂)₃Sn]₂(2,5-pdc)}_n (9) were synthesized by the reaction of trimethyltin(IV), triphenyltin(IV) or tribenzyltin(IV) chloride with 2,6(3,5 or 2,5)-H₂pdc (pdc = pyridinedicarboxylate) when triethylamine was added. Complexes 1-9 have been characterized by elemental, IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR analyses. Among them complexes 1, 5 and 7 have also been characterized by X-ray crystallographic diffraction analyses. Complex 1 has a trinuclear structure and forms a 2D supramolecular structure due to the coordinated water molecules via hydrogen bonds to the pendant O atoms of the carboxyl groups and the N atoms derived of the pyridine ring. Complex 5 forms a 1D polymeric chain by the intermolecular Sn?N (N atom derived of pyridine ring) interactions. Complex 7 has a network structure where 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylate acts as a tetradentate ligand coordinated to trimethyltin(IV) ions.     

Ferromagnetic interactions in EO-azido-bridged binuclear transition metal(II) systems: Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetostructural correlations

Three new isostructural binuclear transition metal complexes with azido ion and 1,2-bis(3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethane (bppe), formulated as [M 2 (N 3 ) 2 (bppe) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 (M = Co, 1; Ni, 2; Cu, 3), were successfully synthesized. They were structurally and magnetically characterized. In 1-3, the double azido ions link two adjacent octahedral metal centers together in the end-to-on mode (EO), with the M-N EO -M angles of 99.41°, 100.24° and 99.80°, respectively. The co-ligand bppe acts as terminal ligand to saturate the remaining coordination sites. The magnetic properties of 1-3 have been investigated in the temperature range of 2-300 K. Fitting of the magnetic susceptibility data revealed the occurrence of the strong ferromagnetic interactions [J = 26.32 cm-1 (1), J = 38.23 cm-1 (2) and J = 139.83 cm-1 (3)]. Density functional theory calculations have been performed on 1-3 to provide a magneto-structural correlation of the ferromagnetic behavior.     

Four different types of hydrogen bonds observed in 1,2-bis(N-benzenesulfonylamino)benzenes due to conformational properties of the sulfonamide moiety

The crystal structures of 1,2-bis(N-benzenesulfonylamino)benzenes with secondary and/or tertiary sulfonamide groups were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Every Ar-sulfonamide group existed in synclinal conformation in the crystals even though it was secondary or tertiary. Each compound showed different types of hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure. 1,2-Bis(N-benzenesulfonylamino)benzene (1) formed two double hydrogen bonds connected to the next molecules, 1-(N-benzenesulfonylamino)-2-(N-benzenesulfonyl-N-methylamino)benzene (2) contained double hydrogen bond involved by both the sulfonamide moieties, 1,2-bis(N-4-toluenesulfonylamino)benzene (3) had both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and 1-(N-methyl-N-4-toluenesulfonylamino)-2-(N-4-toluenesulfonylamino)benzene (4) had one double hydrogen bond involved by only one sulfonamide moiety. Sulfonamides 1 and 3 formed infinite arrays of the molecules, and sulfonamides 2 and 4 formed racemic dimer of their conformational enantiomers via the hydrogen bonds.     

Structural role of hydrogen bond networks in amino acid–acid systems. (I) The network with highly polarizable OHO hydrogen bonds in sarcosine–methanesulfonic acid (2:1) crystal

The sarcosine–methanesulfonic acid (2:1) crystal was selected for examination of two problems: relations between different components of the amino acid–acid hydrogen bond network and a role of very strong and highly polarizable OHO hydrogen bond in the main structural units of the crystal: sarcosinium–sarcosine dimers (complexes). Our observations are based on phase transitions of the crystal monitored by DSC, X-ray diffraction and temperature evolutions of selected bands of IR spectra. Our experimental and DFT results provide information on the potential energy profile of the OHO proton and its evolution with temperature. The OO distance of the primary hydrogen bond remains almost unchanged and its proton is strongly delocalized and sensitive on neighbour NHO hydrogen bond. We propose a possible mechanism of the phase transitions and coupling between νCO vibrations of the carboxyl group and moving of the proton in neighbour OHO hydrogen bridge.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of new aurate salts of adenine or guanine nucleobases

Two new gold(III) complexes with adenine or guanine nitrogenous bases as counter‐cations were synthesized. These are 6‐amino‐7H‐purine‐1,9‐diium tetrachloridogold(III) chloride monohydrate, (C₅H₇N₅)[AuCl₄]Cl·H₂O, 1 , and 2‐amino‐6‐oxo‐6,7‐dihydro‐1H‐purin‐9‐ium tetrachloridogold(III) hemihydrate, (C₅H₆N₅O)[AuCl₄]·0.5H₂O, 2 . Their crystal structures were studied using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and FT–IR spectroscopic techniques. The arrangement of species in the studied crystal structures implies π‐stacking interactions, as well as concomitant C—H…π interactions, hydrogen bonds and other types of noncovalent interactions, which were studied qualitatively and quantitatively using the method of molecular Voronoi–Dirichlet polyhedra. The variation of the nitrogenous base from adenine to guanine results in evident differences in the packing of the species in the crystals of 1 and 2 . The splitting and shifting of bands in the FT–IR spectra of the title compounds reveals several features representative of noncovalent interactions in their crystal structures.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of SmIII and ThIV complexes with macrocyclic cavitand cucurbituril

Slow evaporation of solutions of samarium nitrate and thorium chloride in hydrochloric acid containing the macrocyclic cavitand cucurbituril (C₃₆H₃₆N₂₄O₁₂) afforded crystals of the [{Sm(H₂O)₅(NO₃)}₂(C₃₆H₃₆N₂₄O₁₂)](NO₃)₄·6.5H₂O and [{Th(H₂O)₅Cl}₂(C₃₆H₃₆N₂₄O₁₂)]Cl₆·13H₂O complexes, respectively. The [Sm(C₃₆H₃₆N₂₄O₁₂)(H₂O)₅(SO₄)][Sm(H₂O)₅(SO₄)₂]·17H₂O complex was generated upon heating (130 °C) of a mixture of samarium sulfate, cucurbituril, and water in a sealed tube. X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated that the metal atoms in these complexes are bound to the portal oxygen atoms of the cucurbituril molecules. In addition, the portal oxygen atoms of cucurbituril are linked to the coordinated H₂O molecules via hydrogen bonds.     

Metal complexes of a phenol-tailed porphyrin with different hydrogen bonds

Hydrogen bonds are very common and important interactions in biological systems, they are used to control the microenvironment around metal centers. It is a challenge to develop appropriate models for studying hydrogen bonds. We have synthesized two metal complexes of the phenol-tailed porphyrin, [Zn(HL)] and [Fe(HL)(C₆H₄(OH)(O))]. X-ray crystallography reveals that the porphyrin functions as a dianion HL^2? and the phenol OH is involved in hydrogen bonds in both structures. In [Zn(HL)], an intramolecular hydrogen bond is formed between the carbonyl oxygen and OH. In [Fe(HL)(C₆H₄(OH)(O))], the unligated O(5) of the ligand is involved in two hydrogen bonds, as a hydrogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor. The overall electronic effect on the ligand could be very small, with negligible impact on the structure and the spin state of iron(III). The structural differences caused by the hydrogen bonds are also discussed.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of cobalt and nickel complexes of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine

2?:?1 (L?:?M) Complexes of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (dhmp) with different Co(II) salts [CoCl₂·6H₂O, Co(SCN)₂, Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, CoSO₄·7H₂O and Co(OTos)₂·6H₂O] and Ni(II) salts [NiCl₂·6H₂O, Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, NiSO₄·7H₂O and Ni(OTos)₂·6H₂O] have been prepared (1–9) and studied by infrared spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Influences on the distortion of the coordination polyhedron, the arrangement of the donor atoms and the packing structure of the complexes were investigated in terms of the different kinds of anions and cations. In the metal chloride Complexes 1 and 2, water of hydration was found, while in Complex 3 the counterion (SCN^–) acts as a ligand. The crystal structures of all complexes, except 3, show N₂O₄ hexacoordinated metal ions; in 3 the coordination environment is N₄O₂. Complex 1 is another exception in containing cobalt(III) instead of cobalt(II) as for the other complexes with cobalt salts. Logically, in Complex 1, one of the dhmp ligands is mono-deprotonated. In the neutral Complexes 2 and 4–9, the basal planes of the octahedra are made up of O donors and N atoms occupy the axial positions. In 1 as well as in 3, two N and two O atoms form the base, but in 1 O, and in 3 N atoms are on the axis of the coordination sphere. Moreover, the nickel Complexes 2, 5, 7 and 9 are more symmetrical in structure than the cobalt Complexes 1, 4, 6 and 8, in accordance with the Jahn–Teller effect. Packing structures of the complexes show specific interactions based on strong and weak H-bonds that involve the counterions, hydroxy groups and aromatic units, leading to extended network structures.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of two Schiff-base copper(II) complexes with urease inhibition

Two new copper(II) complexes, [CuL1(N₃)] (1) and [CuL2(NCS)] (2) (HL1 = 4-chloro-2-[(2-piperidin-1-ylethylimino)methyl]phenol, HL2 = 4-chloro-2-[(2-morpholin-4-ylethylimino)methyl]phenol), were prepared and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is an azide coordinated mononuclear complex, while complex 2 is a terminal thiocyanate coordinated mononuclear complex. The coppers in both complexes are four-coordinate, square-planar. Both complexes show potent urease inhibitory properties.     

Syntheses, characterizations and crystal structures of triorganotin(IV) derivatives with 2-mercapto-4-quinazolinone

The triorganotin(IV) derivatives of 2-mercapto-4-quinazolinone (HSqualone) of the type, R₃SnL (R = Ph 1, CH₃2, PhCH₂3, p-F-PhCH₂4, o-F-PhCH₂5, n-Bu 6), were obtained by the reaction of the R₃SnCl and HSqualone with 1:1 molar ratio in benzene. All complexes 1-6 were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and the crystal structures of complexes 1-3 were also confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The structure analyses reveal that the tin atoms of complexes 1-3 are all distorted tetrahedral geometries. Furthermore, the dimeric structures in complexes 1-3 have also been found linked by intermolecular O-H?N or N-H?O hydrogen bonding interaction. Interestingly, the dimers of complexes 2 and 3 are further linked into one-dimensional chain through intermolecular C-H?S and C-H?O weak hydrogen bonding interactions, respectively.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of two 2D coordination polymers of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with the Malonate Dianion Ligand

Two 2D complexes, [Co(mal)(phen)(H₂O)₂] (1) and [Ni(mal)(phen)(H₂O)₂] (2) (mal?=?malonate dianion; phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized by the reaction of Co(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O and Ni(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O with disodium malonate and 1,10-phenanthroline in MeOH/H₂O solution. Their crystal structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The structures of Complexes 1 and 2 show that each metal ion is coordinated by one 1,10-phenanthroline, two water molecules and a malonate ligand forming a distorted octahedral environment and each mononuclear fragment forms a 2D supramolecular network through H-bonding interactions.     

Crystal structures of bile salts: Sodium taurocholate

Crystals of sodium taurocholate (NaC₂₆H₄₄NO₇S · 2.5 H₂O) belonging to the triclinic space groupP1 have unit cell parametersa = 12.731 (2),b = 16.104 (2),c = 7.628 (1) A, =83.40 (1), = 101.20 (1), = 105.35 (1)°, and two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The refinement, carried out on 4424 observed reflections, gaveR = 0.059 andR _w = 0.066. The packing is characterized by bilayers, formed by antiparallel monolayers and with nonpolar outermost surfaces, held together by van der Waals interactions. Inside the bilayers there are channels, lined with polar groups, and filled by sodium ions and water molecules. A structural unit has been identified that could provide a reasonable model for the micellar aggregates of this bile salt. Supplementary Data relevant to this article have been deposited with the British Library under the reference number SUP 82125 (38 pages).     

Syntheses and crystal structures of diorganotin(IV) bis(2‐pyridinethiolato‐N‐oxide) complexes

The complexes di‐n‐butyldi(2‐pyridinethiolato‐N‐oxide)tin(IV) (1), diphenyldi(2‐pyridinethiolato‐N‐oxide)tin(IV) ( 2 ) and dibenzyldi(2‐pyridinethiolato‐N‐oxide)tin(IV) ( 3 ) are synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy, and their structures are determined by X‐ray crystallography. In complex 1 the coordination geometry at tin is a skew‐trapezoidal bipyramid, with cis‐S,S and cis‐O,O atoms occupying the trapezoidal plane and two n‐butyl groups occupying the apical positions, which also exhibits strong π–π stacking interactions. In complexes 2 and 3 the geometry at tin is distorted cis‐octahedral, with cis‐O,O and cis‐C,C atoms occupying the equatorial plane and trans‐S,S atoms occupying the apical positions. Their in vitro cytotoxicity against two human tumour cell lines, MCF‐7 and WiDr is reported. The ID₅₀ values found are comparable to those found for cis‐platin, but lower than for many other diorganotin compounds. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Crystal and molecular structures of tris (p-methoxyphenyl)- and tris(2,4, 6-trimethylphenyl)tin(IV) acetates

The crystal and molecular structures of tris(p-anisyl)tin acetate (1) (p-anisyl = p-methoxyphenyl) and trimesityltin acetate (2) (mesityl = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) have been determined. Both have monomeric structures with the acetate group acting as an asymmetric bidentate ligand. Bond valence analysis of (1) and (2) and other Ph₃SnO₂CR suggest however that the carboxylate ligand effectively occupies a single bonding position at tin. Thus in (1) and (2) the tin atom is in a chemical environment equivalent to that found in four-coordinate R₃Sn-X systems based on tetrahedral geometry.     

Ca(II) and Ba(II) methyl carbazate energetic complexes: syntheses,crystal structures,and properties

New energetic materials, [Ca(MCZ)₃(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ and {[Ba₂(MCZ)₄(H₂O)₂(μ₁-ClO₄)₂(μ₂-ClO₄)₂]_0.5}_n, are synthesized and tried as alternatives to common primary explosives. Both the crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal of [Ca(MCZ)₃(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ belongs to the monoclinic, P2₁/c space group, a = 14.168(3) Å, b = 8.5938(18) Å, c = 18.889(4) Å, β = 111.234(2)°, V = 2143.8(8) Å³, ρ = 1.6893 g cm^?3, and {[Ba₂(MCZ)₄(H₂O)₂(μ₁-ClO₄)₂(μ₂-ClO₄)₂]_0.5}_n belongs to the triclinic, P-1 space group, a = 7.166(2) Å, b = 10.461(2) Å, c = 11.738(4) Å, α = 110.563(5)°, β = 93.799(2)°, γ = 96.864(3)°, V = 812.4(4) Å³, ρ = 2.185 g cm^?3. Their thermal stabilities were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and exothermic peak temperatures with a heating rate of 10 °C min^?1 are 249.7 and 181.7 °C, respectively. Non-isothermal reaction kinetics parameters were calculated via both Kissinger’s method and Ozawa-Doyle’s method to work out E_K = 124.6 kJ mol^?1, lgA_K = 10.38, E_O = 126.7 kJ mol^?1 for the calcium complex and E_K = 100.3 kJ mol^?1, lgA_K = 9.50, E_O = 102.6 kJ mol^?1 for the barium complex. Additionally, the critical temperatures of thermal explosion, ΔS^≠, ΔH^≠, and ΔG^≠ were calculated as ?231.2 J K^?1 mol^?1, 120.417 kJ mol^?1, 236.728 kJ mol^?1 for the calcium complex and ?230.6 J K^?1 mol^?1, 96.723 kJ mol^?1, 195.938 kJ mol^?1 for the barium complex. As for their explosive nature, sensitivities toward impact and friction were tested. Both [Ca(MCZ)₃(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ and {[Ba₂(MCZ)₄(H₂O)₂(μ₁-ClO₄)₂(μ₂-ClO₄)₂]_0.5}_n are insensitive to friction (>360 N); their impact sensitivities are acceptable (20 and 13 J). Both compounds are energetic complexes.
