Solvent water tapes in two hydrates of μ‐oxo‐bis­[bis­(2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)(sulfato‐κO)iron(III)]

The title compound, [Fe₂O(SO₄)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₄], crystallizes as two different hydrates, viz. 11H₂O, (I), and 15H₂O, (II). The complex is binuclear, in which the two Fe^III atoms are coordinated in an octa­hedral geometry to four N atoms from the two bipyridine ligands, to one O atom from the sulfate ion and to an oxide ion on a twofold axis, which acts as a bridge between the symmetry‐related units. The Fe⋯Fe separation is 3.556 (4) Å and the Fe—O—Fe angle is 161.6 (2)° in (I); the corresponding values are 3.544 (1) Å and 165.8 (2)° in (II). In (II), one of the O atoms of the sulfate ion is disordered over two positions. In both compounds, the solvent water mol­ecules form slightly different one‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded networks which pass along the c axis of the unit cell. In (I), three solvent water mol­ecules and, in (II), one solvent water mol­ecule, are situated on the twofold axis. In both (I) and (II), the central O atom of the metal complex lies on a twofold axis.     

Two‐dimensional square‐grid frameworks formed by self‐associating copper(II) complexes with 1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐ and 1‐(4‐pyridyl)‐substituted butane‐1,3‐diones

In bis­[1‐(3‐pyridyl)butane‐1,3‐dionato]copper(II) (the Cu atom occupies a centre of inversion), [Cu(C₉H₈NO₂)₂], (I), and bis­[1‐(4‐pyridyl)butane‐1,3‐dionato]copper(II) methanol solvate, [Cu(C₉H₈NO₂)₂]·CH₃OH, (II), the O,O′‐chelating diketonate ligands support square‐planar coordination of the metal ions [Cu—O = 1.948 (1)–1.965 (1) Å]. Weaker Cu⋯N inter­actions [2.405 (2)–2.499 (2) Å], at both axial sides, occur between symmetry‐related bis­(1‐pyridylbutane‐1,3‐dion­ato)copper(II) mol­ecules. This causes their self‐organization into two‐dimensional square‐grid frameworks, with uniform [6.48 Å for (I)] or alternating [4.72 and 6.66 Å for (II)] inter­layer separations. Guest methanol mol­ecules in (II) reside between the distal layers and form weak hydrogen bonds to coordinated O atoms [O⋯O = 3.018 (4) Å].     

Triaquatris(2,6‐dinitrophenolato‐κ2O1,O2)yttrium(III)

In the title compound, [Y(C₆H₃N₂O₅)₃(H₂O)₃], the Y atom is nine‐coordinate with a slightly distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination geometry. The Y^III ion is coordinated to three bidentate 2,6‐di­nitro­phenolate ligands and three water mol­ecules. The Y—O bond distances are in the range 2.217 (3)–2.754 (4) Å, with the Y—O distances from the nitro groups being longer than those from the water mol­ecules and the phenol groups. The coordinated NO₂ groups are almost coplanar with the benzene rings.     

Triaqua(2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)(nitrato‐κO)manganese(II) nitrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn(NO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₃]NO₃, contains a monomeric [Mn(NO₃)(bpy)(H₂O)₃]⁺ cation (bpy is 2,2′‐bi­pyridine) and a nitrate anion. The Mn^II ion is coordinated by one chelating bpy [Mn—N 2.241 (3) and 2.259 (3) Å], three water mol­ecules [Mn—O 2.120 (3)–2.188 (3) Å] and a nitrate ligand [Mn—O 2.228 (2) Å] in a distorted octahedral geometry. There are O?H—O hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the ligated water mol­ecules and the ligated and unligated nitrate anions, resulting in double columns of stacked cations and anions.     

Bis[1,1‐di­methyl­biguanide(1–)‐κ2N2,N5]copper(II) monohydrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C₄H₁₀N₅)₂]·H₂O, contains two independent copper N,N‐di­methyl­biguanide complex units, each with square‐planar coordination of the Cu atom by four N atoms. The two complexes have different symmetry, with one Cu atom lying on an inversion centre and the other on a twofold rotation axis. The Cu—N bond lengths are 1.923 (2) and 1.950 (2) Å in the centrosymmetric complex, and 1.928 (2) and 1.938 (2) Å in the non‐centrosymmetric complex. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds; each water mol­ecule forms four hydrogen bonds involving three different Cu complexes.     

Aquabromo(6‐carboxypyridine‐2‐carboxylato‐O,N,O′)mercury(II)

The title compound, [HgBr(C₇H₄NO₄)(H₂O)], was obtained by the reaction of an aqueous solution of mercury(II) bromide and pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxylic acid (picolinic acid, dipicH₂). The shortest bond distances to Hg are Hg—Br 2.412 (1) Å and Hg—N 2.208 (5) Å; the corresponding N—Hg—Br angle of 169.6 (1)° corresponds to a slightly distorted linear coordination. There are also four longer Hg—O interactions, three from dipicH^? [2.425 (4) and 2.599 (4) Å within the asymmetric unit, and 2.837 (4) Å from a symmetry‐related mol­ecule] and one from the bonded water mol­ecule [2.634 (4) Å]. The effective coordination of Hg can thus be described as 2+4. The mol­ecules are connected to form double‐layer chains parallel to the y axis by strong O—H?O hydrogen bonds between carboxylic acid groups of neighbouring mol­ecules, and by weaker hydrogen bonds involving both H atoms of the water mol­ecule and the O atoms of the carboxylic acid groups.     

trans‐Di­aqua­bis(6‐hydroxy­picolinato‐κ2N,O2)copper(II)

In the title compound, [Cu(C₆H₄NO₃)₂(H₂O)₂], the Cu^II ion lies on an inversion centre and has an elongated octahedral environment, equatorially trans‐coordinated by two N,O‐bidentate picolinate ligands and axially coordinated by two water O atoms. The complex mol­ecules form layers, which are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the aqua ligands and neighbouring carboxyl­ate groups. An intramolecular hydrogen bond between the coordinated carboxyl­ate O atom and the hydroxy H atom is also observed.     

Aqua(dipicolinato‐κ3O2,N,O6)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)manganese(II) monohydrate

In the title compound [systematic name: aqua(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)(pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxyl­ato‐κ³O²,N,O⁶)manganese(II) monohydrate, [Mn(C₇H₃NO₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·H₂O, the manganese(II) centre is surrounded by one bidentate phenanthroline ligand [Mn—N = 2.248 (3) and 2.278 (3) Å], one tridentate dipicolinate ligand [Mn—N = 2.179 (3) Å, and Mn—O = 2.237 (2) and 2.266 (2) Å] and one water mol­ecule [Mn—O = 2.117 (3) Å], and it exhibits a strongly distorted octahedral geometry, with trans angles ranging from 144.12 (9) to 158.88 (11)°. Extensive intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving coordinated and uncoordinated water mol­ecules and the carboxyl O atoms of the dipicolinate ligand, as well as a stacking interaction involving the phenanthroline rings, are observed in the crystal structure.     

Bis­[bis­(pyrimidin‐2‐yl‐κN)­amine](dicyan­amido‐κN1)(tri­fluoro­methanesulfonato‐κO)copper(II) ethanol hemisolvate forms a hydrogen‐bonded chain

In the crystal structure of [Cu(CF₃SO₃)(C₂N₃)(C₈H₇N₅)₂]·0.5C₂H₆O, the Cu^II atom adopts a distorted octahedral geometry, with the basal plane formed by two N atoms of one dipyrimidinyl­amine ligand, one N atom of the second pyrimidine ligand and a nitrile N atom of the dicyan­amide anion [Cu—N = 1.972 (2)–2.021 (2) Å]. The apical positions are occupied by an N atom of the second ligand [Cu—N = 2.208 (2) Å], and an O atom of the tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate anion [Cu—O = 2.747 (2) Å] at a semi‐coordination distance. Pairs of inversion‐related N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds of the so‐called Watson–Crick type, augmented by two C—H⋯N contacts, link adjacent complexes into an infinite one‐dimensional chain running in the [101] direction.     

Polymeric μ‐bromo‐μ‐pyridine‐3‐carboxyl­ato‐κ3O,O′:N‐mercury(II)

The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric complex, [HgBr(C₆H₄NO₂)]_n or HgBr(nic), contains mercury coordinated via two Br atoms [Hg—Br = 2.6528 (9) and 2.6468 (9) Å], two carboxyl­ate O atoms, which form a characteristic four‐membered chelate ring [Hg—O = 2.353 (6) and 2.478 (7) Å], and an N atom [Hg—N = 2.265 (5) Å], in the form of a very irregular (3+2)‐coordination polyhedron. The pronounced irregularity of the effective Hg (3+2)‐coordination is a result of the rigid stereochemistry of the nicotinate ligand. According to the covalent and van der Waals radii criteria, the strongest bonds are Hg—Br and Hg—N. These covalent interactions form a two‐dimensional poly­mer. The puckered planes are connected by van der Waals interactions, and there are only two intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [3.428 (10) and 3.170 (10) Å].     

Poly­sulfonyl­amines. CLXXI. [Di­(methane­sulfonyl)­amido‐κN]­bis(2‐picoline‐κN)copper(I)

The title compound, [Cu(C₂H₆NO₄S₂)(C₆H₇N)₂], consists of monomeric mol­ecules in which the Cu atom displays planar but irregular coordination by three N‐atom donors; Cu—N = 2.1054 (12) (amide N), 1.9514 (12) and 1.9589 (12) Å, and N—Cu—N = 141.24 (5), 111.54 (5) and 107.20 (5)°. Intramolecular Cu⋯O contacts are observed. The packing involves (interconnected) layer formation via C—H⋯O interactions in two directions, three hydrogen bonds combining to form layers parallel to (101) and five to form layers parallel to (10).     

Bis(3‐amino­pyridine‐κN)(4,4′‐di­methyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)(per­chlorato‐κO)copper(II) per­chlorate

The title compound, [Cu(ClO₄)(C₅H₆N₂)₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)]ClO₄, was prepared by in situ partial ligand substitution between 3‐amino­pyridine and 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine at room temperature. The central copper(II) ion is five‐coordinated by one bidentate 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine mol­ecule, two monodentate pyridine‐coordinated 3‐amino­pyridine mol­ecules and one apical O atom from the perchlorate counter‐ion. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions form a hydrogen‐bond‐sustained network.     

Aqua(2,2′‐di­amino‐4,4′‐bi‐1,3‐thia­zole‐κ2N,N′)(imino­diacetato‐κ3O,N,O′)­chromium(III) chloride mono­hydrate

Crystals of the title compound, [Cr(C₄H₅NO₄)(C₆H₆N₄S₂)(H₂O)]Cl·H₂O, consist of Cr^III complex cations, Cl⁻ counter‐ions and lattice water mol­ecules. The complex cation assumes an octahedral coordination geometry, formed by a tridentate imino­di­acetate dianion (IDA), a di­amino­bi­thia­zole (DABT) mol­ecule and a water mol­ecule. The planar DABT group chelates the Cr^III ion with normal Cr—N distances [2.0574 (17) and 2.0598 (17) Å], but the DABT mol­ecule is inclined to the coordination plane by a dihedral angle of 17.23 (7)°. In the monodentate carboxylate groups of the IDA ion, the coordinated C—O bonds [1.288 (3) and 1.284 (3) Å] are much longer than the uncoordinated C—O bonds [1.222 (3) and 1.225 (3) Å].     

Dichloro­(O‐ethyl 3‐methyl­pyridine‐2‐carboximidic acid‐κ2N,N′)copper(II)

In the title compound, [CuCl₂(C₉H₁₂N₂O)], the Cu^II atom is coordinated by two Cl⁻ anions and two N atoms of one O‐ethyl 3‐methyl­pyridine‐2‐carboximidic acid mol­ecule in a slightly distorted square‐planar geometry, with Cu—N distances of 2.0483 (17) and 1.9404 (18) Å, and Cu—Cl distances of 2.2805 (10) and 2.2275 (14) Å. In addition, each Cu^II atom is connected by one Cl⁻ anion and the Cu^II atom from a neighbouring mol­ecule, with Cu⋯Cl and Cu⋯Cu distances of 2.9098 (13) and 3.4022 (12) Å, respectively, and, therefore, a centrosymmetric dimer is formed. Adjacent mol­ecular dimers are connected by π–π stacking inter­actions between pyridine rings to form a zigzag mol­ecular chain. The mol­ecular chains are also enforced by N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯Cl inter­actions.     

Three N2‐benzoyl­oxybenz­amidines: sheet structures built from hard and soft hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions

Molecules of the title compounds N²‐(benzoyl­oxy)­benz­ami­dine, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₂, (I), N²‐(2‐hydroxy­benzoyl­oxy)­benz­ami­dine, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₃, (II), and N²‐benzoyloxy‐2‐hydroxybenzamidine, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₃, (III), all have extended chain conformations, with the aryl groups remote from one another. In (I), the mol­ecules are linked into chains by a single N—H⋯N hydrogen bond [H⋯N = 2.15 Å, N⋯N = 3.029 (2) Å and N—H⋯N = 153°] and these chains are linked into sheets by means of aromatic π–π stacking interactions. There is one intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond in (II), and a combination of one three‐centre N—H⋯(N,O) hydrogen bond [H⋯N = 2.46 Å, H⋯O = 2.31 Å, N⋯N = 3.190 (2) Å, N⋯O = 3.146 (2) Å, N—H⋯N = 138° and N—H⋯O = 154°] and one two‐centre C—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.46 Å, C⋯O = 3.405 (2) Å and C—H⋯O = 173°] links the mol­ecules into sheets. In (III), an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond and two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 2.26 and 2.10 Å, N⋯O = 2.975 (2) and 2.954 (2) Å, and N—H⋯O = 138 and 163°] link the molecules into sheets.     

2‐Amino‐5‐nitro­thia­zole monoethanol solvate: triply‐interwoven hydrogen‐bonded sheets containing centrosymmetric R(8) and R(38) rings

2‐Amino‐5‐nitro­thia­zole crystallizes from solution in ethanol as a monosolvate, C₃H₃N₃O₂S·C₂H₆O, in which the thia­zole component has a strongly polarized molecular–electronic structure. The thia­zole mol­ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by paired N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds [H⋯N = 2.09 Å, N⋯N = 2.960 (6) Å and N—H⋯N = 169°], and these dimers are linked by the ethanol mol­ecules, via a two‐centred N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.98 Å, N⋯O = 2.838 (5) Å and N—H⋯O = 164°] and a planar asymmetric three‐centred O—H⋯(O)₂ hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.07 and 2.53 Å, O⋯O = 2.900 (5) and 3.188 (5) Å, O—H⋯O = 169 and 136°, and O⋯H⋯O = 55°], into sheets built from alternating (8) and (38) rings. These sheets are triply interwoven.     

catena‐Poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)­silver(I)]‐μ‐nicotinato] and catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato]

In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐nico­tinato‐κ²N:O], [Ag(C₆H₄NO₂)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms from the di‐2‐pyridyl­amine (BPA) ligand [Ag—N = 2.3785 (18) and 2.3298 (18) Å] and by one N atom and one carboxyl­ate O atom from nicotinate ligands [Ag—N = 2.2827 (15) Å and Ag—O = 2.3636 (14) Å]. Bridging by nicotinate N and O atoms generates a polymeric chain structure, which extends along [100]. The carboxyl O atom not bonded to the Ag atom takes part in an intrachain C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, further stabilizing the chain. Pairs of chains are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate ribbons. There are no π–π interactions in this complex. In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato‐κ²O¹:O²], [Ag(C₇H₅O₄)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with three strong bonds to two pyridine N atoms from the BPA ligand [Ag—N = 2.286 (5) and 2.320 (5) Å] and to one carboxyl­ate O atom from the 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligand [Ag—O = 2.222 (4) Å]; the fourth, weaker, Ag‐atom coordination is to one of the phenol O atoms [Ag⋯O = 2.703 (4) Å] of an adjacent moiety, and this interaction generates a polymeric chain along [100]. Pairs of chains are linked about inversion centers by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form ribbons, within which there are π–π interactions. The ribbons are linked about inversion centers by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and additional π–π interactions between inversion‐related pairs of 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligands to generate a three‐dimensional network.     

(2S,RS)‐6‐Phenyl‐1‐(p‐tolyl­sulfinyl)­hexa‐3(E),5(E)‐dien‐2‐ol

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₁₉H₂₀O₂S, corresponds to a chiral sulfinyldienol with two stereogenic centres, viz. the C atom susbtituted by the hydr­oxy group and the sulfinyl S atom. The mol­ecule displays a V‐shape in the solid state. The dihedral angle defined by the least‐squares planes of the aromatic rings is 72.9 (1)°. The packing pattern exhibits the following inter­molecular hydrogen bonds: one O—H⋯O [H⋯O = 1.98 Å, O⋯O = 2.785 (4) Å and O—H⋯O = 166°] and two C—H⋯O [H⋯O = 2.58 and 2.60 Å, C⋯O = 3.527 (5) and 3.347 (5) Å, and C—H⋯O = 164 and 134°]. These define a chain along b.     

Chloro{2,2′‐[(1S,2S)‐1,2‐di­phenyl‐1,2‐ethanediyl­bis­(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]­diphenolato‐κ4O,N,N′,O′}(ethanol‐κO)­manganese(III)

The crystal structure of the title compound, [MnCl(C₂₈H₂₂N₂O₂)(C₂H₆O)], has been determined at 173 (2) K in the non‐centrosymmetric space group P2₁2₁2₁. The asymmetric unit contains two molecular units. An intermolecular O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond is formed between the OH group of an ethanol mol­ecule coordinated to the Mn atom and the coordinated Cl⁻ anion, and so polymeric chains of Mn‐containing fragments are formed [O—H⋯Cl = 3.1281 (16) and 3.1282 (15) Å]. The Mn atoms have a pseudo‐octahedral coordination sphere, with the four donor atoms of the Schiff base forming an equatorial plane [Mn—O distances are 1.8740 (13), 1.8717 (13), 1.8749 (13) and 1.8823 (13) Å, and Mn—N distances are 1.9868 (15), 1.9910 (14), 1.9828 (15) and 1.9979 (14) Å]. The axial positions are occupied by an ethanol mol­ecule [Mn—O distances of 2.3069 (15) and 2.3130 (15) Å] and a Cl⁻ ligand [Mn—Cl distances of 2.5732 (6) and 2.5509 (6) Å].     

7‐Carboxyl­ato‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium monohydrate and 7‐carboxy‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium chloride monohydrate at 100 K

Both 7‐carboxyl­ato‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium monohydrate, C₁₁H₉NO₃·H₂O, (I), and 7‐carboxy‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium chloride monohydrate, C₁₁H₁₀NO₃⁺·Cl⁻·H₂O, (II), crystallize in the centrosymmetric P space group. Both compounds display an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the hydroxy group; this hydrogen bond is stronger in (I) due to its zwitterionic character [O⋯O = 2.4449 (11) Å in (I) and 2.5881 (12) Å in (II)]. In both crystal structures, the HN⁺ group participates in the stabilization of the structure via intermolecular hydrogen bonds with water mol­ecules [N⋯O = 2.7450 (12) Å in (I) and 2.8025 (14) Å in (II)]. In compound (II), a hydrogen‐bond network connects the Cl⁻ anion to the carboxylic acid group [Cl⋯O = 2.9641 (11) Å] and to two water mol­ecules [Cl⋯O = 3.1485 (10) and 3.2744 (10) Å].
