catena‐Poly­[[bis­(quinoxaline‐κN)cobalt(II)]‐di‐μ‐dicyan­amido‐κ2N1:N5] and catena‐poly­[[bis(quinoxaline‐κN)copper(II)]‐di‐μ‐dicyan­amido‐κ2N1:N5]

Two new complexes, [Co(C₂N₃)₂(C₈H₆N₂)₂], (I), and [Cu(C₂N₃)₂(C₈H₆N₂)₂], (II), are reported. They are essentially isomorphous. Complex (I) displays distorted octahedral geometry, with the Co atom coordinated by four dicyan­amide nitrile N atoms [Co—N = 2.098 (3) and 2.104 (3) Å] in the basal plane, along with two monodentate quinoxaline N atoms [Co—N = 2.257 (2) Å] in the apical positions. In complex (II), the Cu atom is surrounded by four dicyan­amide nitrile N atoms [Cu—N = 2.003 (3) and 2.005 (3) Å] in the equatorial plane and two monodentate quinoxaline N atoms [Cu—N = 2.479 (3) Å] in the axial sites, to form a distorted tetragonal–bipyramidal geometry. The metal atoms reside on twofold axes of rotation. Neighbouring metal atoms are connected via double dicyan­amide bridges to form one‐dimensional infinite chains. Adjacent chains are then linked by π–π stacking interactions of the quinoxaline mol­ecules, resulting in the formation of a three‐dimensional structure.     

Di‐μ‐acesulfamato‐κ3N,O:O;κ3O:N,O‐bis[(acesulfamato‐κ2N,O)bis(3‐methylpyridine)cadmium(II)]

In the structure of the title compound, [Cd₂(C₄H₄NO₄S)₂(C₆H₇N)₂], the dinuclear Cd^II complex is located on a twofold axis with two Cd²⁺ ions bridged by two oxide O atoms. Each Cd²⁺ ion is additionally coordinated in an equatorial plane by two N and three O atoms of the acesulfamate ligands and axially by two N atoms of the 3‐methylpyridine ligands, resulting in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination. We present here an example of a supramolecular assembly based on hydrogen bonds in a mixed‐ligand metal complex; intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds give rise to R₄⁴(40) rings, which lead to one‐dimensional chains.     

Diaqua­bis[5‐(pyrazin‐2‐yl‐κN1)‐1H‐tetra­zolato‐κN1]manganese(II) and diaqua­bis[5‐(pyrazin‐2‐yl‐κN1)‐1H‐tetra­zolato‐κN1]zinc(II)

The two new title complexes, [Mn(C₅H₃N₆)₂(H₂O)₂] and [Zn(C₅H₃N₆)₂(H₂O)₂], are isomorphous. In both compounds, the metal atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by four N atoms from two 5‐(pyrazin‐2‐yl)‐1H‐tetra­zolate anions in the basal plane and by two O atoms of water ligands in the apical positions to form a distorted octa­hedral geometry. Inter­molecular hydrogen‐bond inter­actions between the uncoordinated N atoms of the tetra­zolate anions and the H atoms of the water mol­ecules lead to the formation of a three‐dimensional network.     

Bis(acesulfamato‐κ2N3,O4)bis­(2‐amino­pyrimidine‐κN1)copper(II)

In the crystal structure of the title compound, bis­(2‐amino­pyrimidine‐κN¹)bis­[6‐meth­yl‐1,2,3‐oxathia­zin‐4(3H)‐one 2,2‐dioxide(1−)‐κ²N³,O⁴]copper(II), [Cu(C₄H₄NO₄S)₂(C₄H₅N₃)₂], the first mixed‐ligand complex of acesulfame, the Cu^II centre resides on a centre of symmetry and has an octa­hedral geometry that is distorted both by the presence of four‐membered chelate rings and by the Jahn–Teller effect. The equatorial plane is formed by the N atoms of two amino­pyrimidine (ampym) ligands and by the weakly basic carbonyl O atoms of the acesulfamate ligands, while the more basic deprotonated N atoms of these ligands are in the elongated axial positions with a strong misdirected valence. The crystal is stabilized by pyrimidine ring stacking and by inter­molecular hydrogen bonding involving the NH₂ moiety of the ampym ligand and the carbon­yl O atom of the acesulfamate moiety.     

(N‐{[4‐(1,3‐Benzothiazol‐2‐yl)anilino]carbonylmethyl‐κO}iminodiacetato‐κ3O,N,O′)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)cobalt(II) pentahydrate

The title compound, [Co(C₁₉H₁₅N₃O₅S)(C₁₂H₈N₂)]·5H₂O, has a moderately distorted octahedral coordination environment composed of two N atoms of a 1,10‐phenanthroline ligand and one N and three O atoms of an N‐{[4‐(1,3‐benzothiazol‐2‐yl)anilino]carbonylmethyl}iminodiacetate (ZL‐5²⁻) ligand. The ring systems of the phenanthroline and ZL‐5²⁻ ligands are coplanar and the complexes pack in layers parallel to the ab plane with the rings of adjacent complexes facing one another. The layers stack along the c axis and are linked by hydrogen bonds involving the five water solvent molecules in the asymmetric unit and O atoms of the acetate groups of the ZL‐5²⁻ ligand. This is believed to be the first crystal structure of a complex of a 2‐(4‐aminophenyl)benzothiazole ligand.     

Dichlorobis(pyridine‐κN)bis(3,3,3‐trifluoropropyl‐κC1)tin(IV)

In the title compound, [Sn(C₃H₄F₃)₂Cl₂(C₅H₅N)₂], the Sn atom lies on an inversion centre and is octahedrally coordinated by two Cl atoms, two tri­fluoro­propyl groups and two N atoms in an all‐trans configuration. The electronegative tri­fluoro­propyl groups increase the electrophilic properties of the Sn atom, and the Sn—Cl and Sn—N bonds are shortened in comparison with those reported for analogous compounds.

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.

In the crystal structure of the title compound {systematic name: bis­[6‐methyl‐1,2,3‐oxa­thia­zin‐4(3H)‐one 2,2‐dioxide(1−)‐κ²N³,O⁴]bis­(3‐meth­yl­pyridine)copper(II)}, [Cu(C₄H₄NO₄S)₂(C₆H₇N)₂], the Cu^II centre resides on a centre of symmetry and has an octa­hedral geometry that is distorted both by the presence of four‐membered chelate rings and because of the Jahn–Teller effect. The equatorial plane is formed by the N atoms of two methyl­pyridine ligands and by the more basic O atoms of the acesulfamate ligands, while the weakly basic N atoms of these ligands are in elongated axial positions with a misdirected valence. The crystal is stabilized by two inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions involving the methyl and CH groups, and the sulfonyl O atoms of the acesulfamate group.

Both complexes display a distorted square‐pyramidal geometry. Each Cu atom is coordinated in the basal plane by three dpyam N atoms and one azide N atom in equatorial positions, and by another N atom from the dpyam group in the apical position. In complex (I), the one‐dimensional supra­molecular architecture is assembled via hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions between the amine N atom and terminal azide N atoms and the F atoms of the PF₆⁻ anion. For complex (II), hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions between the amine N atom, the Cl⁻ anion and water O atoms result in a two‐dimensional lattice.

The coordination geometry about the Pd²⁺ ion is square planar, with two deprotonated 3‐(2‐fluoro­phenyl)‐1‐(4‐nitro­phenyl)­triazenide ions, FC₆H₄N=N—NC₆H₄NO₂^?, acting as monodentate ligands (two‐electron donors), while two neutral pyridine mol­ecules complete the metal coordination sphere. The whole triazenide ligand is not planar, with the largest interplanar angle being 16.8 (5)° between the phenyl ring of the 2‐­fluorophenyl group and the plane defined by the N=N—N moiety. The Pd—N(triazenide) and Pd—N(pyridine) distances are 2.021 (3) and 2.039 (3) Å, respectively.

In the title compound, [Pb(C₆H₄NO₂)(N₃)(H₂O)]_n, the Pb ion is seven‐coordinated by three N atoms from three azide ligands, two O atoms from two isonicotinate (inic) ligands and two O atoms from two coordinated water molecules, forming a distorted monocapped triangular prismatic coordination geometry. Each azide ligand bridges three Pb^II ions in a μ_1,1,3 coordination mode to form a two‐dimensional three‐connected 6³ topology network extending in the bc plane. The carboxylate group of the inic unit and the aqua ligand act as coligands to bridge Pb^II ions. Adjacent two‐dimensional layers are connected by hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the isonicotinate N atom and the water molecule, resulting in an extended three‐dimensional network. The title complex is the first reported coordination polymer involving a p‐block metal, an azide and a carboxylate.

The non‐H atoms, except for the Cl atoms, lie on a mirror plane. The two equatorial Co—N_oxime distances are almost equal (mean 2.253 Å) and are substanti­ally longer than the equatorial Co—N_pyridine bond [2.0390 (19) Å]. The structure is stabilized by intra‐ and inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl contacts, which involve one of the methyl C atoms belonging to the methyloxime groups.

Both Cu^II ions are linked by an acetate group in the equatorial–equatorial positions and have syn–anti bridging configurations. Hydrogen‐bond inter­actions between the amine H atom and the coordinated and uncoordinated O atoms of the acetate anions generate an infinite one‐dimensional chain.
