The correct formulation of the carbene derivatives 2-5 has been unambiguously determined in solution by NMR analysis and confirmed for compounds 2-4 by X-ray diffraction methods in the solid state. All complexes are octahedral with the benzoyldiazenido ligand, Re[N2C(O)Ph], adopting a "single bent" conformation. The coordination basal plane is completed by an oxacyclocarbene ligand and two chlorine atoms. Two triphenylphosphines in trans positions with respect to each other complete the octahedral geometry around rhenium. The reactivity of 1 towards different alkynes and alkenes including propargyl- and allylamine has been also studied.

The molecular structure of the monosubstituted adduct has been confirmed by X-ray analysis in the solid state.

N,N'-Ethylenedi-L-cysteine (EC) and Its Metal Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, Crystal Structures, and Equilibrium Constants

N,N'-ethylenedi-L-cysteine (EC) and its indium(III) and gallium(III) complexes have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of the ligand and the complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. EC.2HBr.2H(2)O (C(8)H(22)Br(2)N(2)O(6)S(2)) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2 with a = 12.776(3) ?, b = 13.735(2) ?, c = 5.1340 (10) ?, Z = 2, and V = 900.9(3) ?(3). The complexes Na[M(III)EC].2H(2)O (C(8)H(16)MN(2)O(6)S(2)Na) are isostructural for M = In and Ga, crystallizing in the tetragonal space group P4(2)2(1)2 with the following lattice constants for In, (Ga): a = 10.068(2) ?, (9.802(2) ?), b = 10.068(2) ?, (9.802(2) ?), c = 14.932(2) ?, (15.170(11) ?), Z = 4 (4), and V = 1513.6(5) ?(3), (1457.5(11) ?(3)). In both metal complexes, the metal atoms (In and Ga) are coordinated by six donor atoms (N(2)S(2)O(2)) in distorted octahedral coordination geometries in which two sulfur atoms and two nitrogen atoms occupy the equatorial positions, and the axial positions are occupied by two oxygen atoms of two carboxylate groups. The structures of the complexes previously predicted by molecular mechanics are compared with the crystal structures of the Ga(III) and In(III) complexes obtained experimentally. In contrast to the oxygen donors in phenolate-containing ligands, such as 1,2-ethylenebis((o-hydroxyphenyl)glycine) (EHPG) and N,N'-bis(o-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid (HBED), the thiolate donors of EC enhances affinity for In(III) relative to Ga(III). The following stability sequence has been obtained: In(III) > Ga(III) > Ni(II) > Zn(II) > Cd(II) > Pb(II) > Co(II). Evidence was also obtained for several protonated and hydroxo species of the complexes of both divalent and trivalent metals, where the corresponding protonation constants (K(MHL)) decrease with increasing stability of the chelate, ML(n)(-)(4), where M(n)()(+) represent the metal ion.

A Y(Ⅲ)-organic Coordination Polymer Constructed from 2-(Pyridine-4-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate and Oxalate Ligands: Structure and Luminescent Property

A novel compound, {[Y(HPIDC)(OX)1/2(H2O)]·2H2O}n (1, H3PIDC = 2-(pyridin-4- yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, H2OX = oxalic acid), has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by thermal analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 8.342(8), b = 14.61(1), c = 11.487(1), β = 90.78(9)°, V = 1400.4(2)3, Z = 4, C11H11N3O9Y, Mr = 418.14, Dc = 1.983 g/cm3, F(000) = 836, Rint = 0.0509, T = 293(2) K, μ = 4.240 mm-1, the final R = 0.0477 and wR = 0.1125 for 2770 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). Compound 1 exhibits a 3D framework and generates the 1D open channels filled with free water molecules. The structure of 1 can be rationalized as a diamondoid network when the atom yttrium is regarded as a 4-connected node linking four surrounding yttrium atoms. The luminescent property of compound 1 is also investigated.
