trans-Bis(2-amino­pyridine-N)bis(O,O′-diiso­propyl di­thio­phosphato-S,S′)nickel(II)

In the title compound, [Ni(C₆H₁₄O₂PS₂)₂(C₅H₆N₂)₂], the coordination around the Ni atom, which lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry, is octahedral with the S atoms from the di­thio­phosphate ligands occupying the equatorial positions, while the axial positions are occupied by the ring N atoms of the 2-amino­pyridine ligands. The mol­ecules form layers in the bc plane which are stacked in the direction of the a axis.     

Di­methyl (1R,8R)-1,11,11-tri­methyl-2,3-di­aza­tri­cyclo­[6.2.1.02,6]­undeca-3,5-diene-4,5-di­carboxyl­ate,a chiral mol­ecule with an approximate centrosymmetric crystal structure

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₆H₂₂N₂O₄, has two independent chiral mol­ecules related by a pseudo-inversion centre. 14 of the 22 non-H atoms have a centrosymmetric counterpart within a tolerance of 0.17 Å. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database [Spring 2000; Allen & Kennard (1993). Chem. Des. Autom. News, 8 , 1, 31–37] shows at least 10% of the crystal structures reported in the literature with space group P2₁ and Z = 4 to be chiral compounds with a pseudo-P2₁/c packing.     

Crystal structure of bis[Ba(Aet)(OH2)5]bis(Aet)·4H2O

An X-ray crystallographic study is conducted of single crystals with the composition [Ba₂(Aet^?)₂·10(H₂O)]²⁺·2(Aet^?)·4H₂O, where Aet^? = (C₁₀H₁₁N₄O₂S₂)^? is the ethazole (2-(para-aminobenzenesulfamido)-5-ethyl-1,3,4-tiadiazole) anion. The crystals are monoclinic; the space group is P2₁/c, Z = 2; a = 9.793(2) Å, b = 15.408(4) Å, and c = 22.553(6) Å; β = 94.98(2)°; and R = 0.047. The independent part of the compound’s structural formula, [Ba(Aet)(OH₂)₅](Aet)·2H₂O, is isostructural with the analogous compound with the Sr atom. The ethazole anion is coordinated to the complexing metal atom by oxygen and nitrogen atoms to form a four-membered ring.     

cis-Bis[N1,N2-bis(trimethylsilyl)benz­amidinato-κ2N1,N2]chloro(4-tolyl­imido-κN)vanadium(V)

The title complex, [V(C₇H₇N)(C₁₃H₂₃N₂Si₂)₂Cl], consists of a V metal centre coordinated to five N atoms and a Cl⁻ ion in a pseudo-octahedral arrangement. The N atoms of the benzamidinate ligands form two four-membered chelate rings to V, with bite angles of 63.59 (8) and 64.36 (8)°, whilst the fifth N atom is from a p-tolyl­imido ligand [V—N—C 172.2 (2)°] located cis with respect to the Cl⁻ ion [Cl—V—N_imido 96.96 (8)°].     

Synthesis,open-framework structure and thermal behaviour of ammonium tin oxalate,Sn2(NH4)2(C2O4)3·3H2O

A new mixed ammonium tin oxalate trihydrate, Sn₂(NH₄)₂(C₂O₄)₃·3H₂O, has been prepared from evaporation of a solution of tin and ammonium oxalates. Its crystal structure has been solved from single-crystal diffraction data. The symmetry is orthorhombic, space group Pnma (No. 62), cell dimensions a=15.1821(5) Å, b=11.7506(2) Å, c=10.8342(3) Å, and Z=4. The structure consists of macroanionic layers built from [Sn(C₂O₄)₃]^2– groups. The SnO₆ polyhedron can be described as a pseudo pentagonal bipyramid, with the lone pair of electrons presumably occupying one apex. The resulting framework displays holes in which the water molecules and ammonium groups are located. The thermal behaviour of the mixed ammonium tin oxalate has been investigated with temperature-dependent X-ray powder diffraction and conventional thermal analysis. The degradation process has been completely explained, as well as that of oxammite, a phase always obtained in the preparations. The thermal decomposition of oxammite leads to (NH₄)₂C₂O₄ and a new acid salt, NH₄HC₂O₄. The mixed ammonium tin oxalate decomposes successively into the amorphous compounds, Sn₂(NH₄)₂(C₂O₄)₃·H₂O and Sn₂(NH₄)₂(C₂O₄)₃, SnC₂O₄ and, finally, cassiterite SnO₂.     

Synthesis, properties, and crystal structure of the tin(IV) complex with N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediaminetriacetic acid [Sn(μ-Hedtra)(μ-OH)SnCl3(H2O)] · 3H2O

The binuclear tin(IV) complex with N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′,N′-triacetic acid (H₄Hedtra) is synthesized. The compound is characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetry, and IR spectroscopy. An X-ray diffraction analysis of complex Sn(μ-Hedtra)(μ-OH)SnCl₃(H₂O)] · 3H₂O (I) is carried out. Structure I is formed by the binuclear complexes and molecules of water of crystallization. One of the tin atoms coordinates six “active” sites Hedtra^4? (the alcohol branch is deprotonated and forms a bridge between two tin atoms) and the bridging hydroxo group. The polyhedron is a pentagonal bipyramid. The octahedral environment of the second tin atom is formed by two bridging oxygen atoms, three chlorine atoms (fac isomer), and a coordination water molecule.     

Humidity-sensing and DNA-binding ability of bis(4-benzylpiperazine-1-carbodithioato-k2 S,S′)nickel(II)

Bis(4-benzylpiperazine-1-carbodithioato-k² S,S?)nickel(II), 1, was prepared by metathesis of sodium salt of 4-benzylpiperazine-1-carbodithioate with nickel(II) chloride in 2?:?1 ratio. Complex 1 was characterized by analytical techniques including elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–visible spectroscopy, and X-ray single-crystal analysis. The latter technique confirmed square-planar geometry around Ni with the formation of NiS₄ core with two shorter and two longer Ni–S bonds. The packing diagram revealed a supramolecular chain structure mediated by unconventional H?H dihydrogen bonds that resulted in a chair and a ladder-like structure when viewed along the a-axis and c-axis, respectively. The thin-film coating resulted in a microporous film with a band gap of 1.69 eV. Complex 1-based sensor was fabricated to check the humidity-sensing properties of the material. Resistance of the device decreased by two orders of magnitude and capacitance was enhanced with the increase of relative humidity. The DNA binding study proved 1 to be a good DNA binder with binding constant value of 1.4 × 10⁴ M^?1.     

Aquabis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-κN2)(malonato-κ2O,O′)copper(II) ­dihydrate

In the neutral title complex, [Cu(C₃H₂O₄)(C₅H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)]·2H₂O or [Cu(mal)(dmp)₂(H₂O)]·2H₂O (mal is malon­ate and dmp is 3,5-di­methyl-1H-pyrazole), the Cu^II ion, in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry, is coordinated by two O atoms of the bidentate malonate, the O atom of the water ligand and two N atoms from the two 3,5-di­methyl­pyrazole ligands. The mean Cu—N bond length is 2.007 (6) Å, longer than the Cu—O_mal bonds [1.950 (5) Å]. The apical position is occupied by a relatively strongly coordinated water mol­ecule [Cu—O_water 2.288 (5) Å]. The crystal structure is characterized by the layer motif of a hydrogen-bonded network.

The crystal structures of bis(2-thiobarbiturato-O)tetraaquamagnesium Mg(H₂O)₄(HTBA-O)₂ I and catena-[(μ₂-2-thiobarbiturato-O,O)(2-thiobarbiturato-O)bis(μ₂-aqua)diaquastrontium] monohydrate catena-[Sr(μ₂-H₂O)₂(H₂O)₂(μ₂-HTBA-O,O)(HBTA-O)] _n · nH₂O (II), where H₂TBA is 2-thiobarbituric acid C₄H₄N₂O₂S, have been determined. Crystal data for a=6.7598(2) Å, b = 7.6060(2) Å, c = 8.5797(2) Å, α = 79.822(2)°, β = 76.622(1)°, γ = 69.124(1)°, V = 398.82(2) ų, space group P $\bar 1$ , Z = 1; for II: a = 20.8499(4) Å, b = 19.2649(5) Å, c = 4.14007(9) Å, β = 92.023(2)°, V = 1661.91(7) ų, space group P2₁/n, Z = 4. The Mg²⁺ ion in I is bonded to six O atoms of two HTBA^? ions and four water molecules that form a nearly regular octahedron. Each Sr²⁺ ion in II is coordinated to three oxygen atoms of three HTBA^? ions and six water molecules that form an almost ideal tricapped trigonal prism. These polyhedra share edges to form infinite chains. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds create layered structures of I and II.     

Theoretical investigation of inhibition of the corrosion of A106 steel in NaCl solution by di-n-butyl bis(thiophene-2-carboxylato-O,O′)tin(IV)

This work reports results from potentiodynamic polarisation and impedance investigation, with a rotating disc electrode, of inhibition of corrosion of A106 steel in aerated, unstirred 3.0 % NaCl solutions using di-n-butyl bis(thiophene-2-carboxylato-O,O′)tin(IV) as inhibitor. These studies showed that it is a mixed-type inhibitor. Inhibition efficiency increased with increasing di-n-butyl bis(thiophene-2-carboxylato-O,O′)tin(IV) concentration and decreases with increasing solution temperature. Maximum efficiency of inhibition of the inhibitor of approximately 78 % is observed at a concentration at 10^?2 M. The inhibition process was attributed to formation of an adsorbed film on the metal surface that protects the metal against corrosive agents. The adsorption isotherm confirms the applicability of Langmuir equation to describe the adsorption process. Thermodynamic functions for the adsorption process were determined. The efficiency of corrosion inhibitors and global chemical reactivity depend on such properties as energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (E _HOMO), energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (E _LUMO), energy gap (ΔE), which were calculated. All calculation was been performed by density functional theory (DFT) using the Gaussian03W suite of software. Calculated results were usually in agreement with the experimental data.

During attempts to prepare cubane-like clusters from the precursor (Bu₄N)₂[Sn₃S₄(edt)₃] (edt?=?1,2-ethanedithiolate), two new tetranuclear tin(IV) oxysulfide clusters, (Bu₄N)₂ [Sn₄(μ₄-O)S₅(edt)₂Cl₂] (1) and (Bu₄N)₂[Sn₄(μ₄-O)S₅(edt)₂Br₂] (2) were unexpectedly obtained by reaction of (Bu₄N)₂[Sn₃S₄(edt)₃] with SnX₂ (X?=?Cl,?Br). X-ray crystal structure analyses show that the two compounds possess an isostructural anionic cluster with a highly distorted tetrahedral metal skeleton. The two compounds have been characterized spectroscopically.

Vanadium Haloperoxidases Model Compounds: Synthesis,Structural Characterization and Mimic Catalytic Bromination Activity of [VO(C2O4)(2,2′-bipy)(H2O)]·C2H5OH and VO(C2O4)(phen)(H2O)

Two oxo-vanadium(IV) complexes, [VO(C₂O₄)(2,2′-bipy)(H₂O)]·C₂H₅OH(1) and VO(C₂O₄)(phen)(H₂O) (2), where 2,2′-bipy=2,2′-bipyridyl, phen=1,10-phenanthroline, were synthesized as potential functional models of vanadium haloperoxidases(VHPOs) in mixed solvent of ethanol and water at room temperature. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared(IR), UV-Vis and X-ray crystallography. Structural analyses showed that vanadium atom was coordinated by a terminal oxygen, one oxygen atom from coordinated water, two oxygen atoms from the carboxylate group of oxalic acid, and two nitrogen atoms(N1 and N2) from 2,2′-bipy/phen. Central vanadium atoms in complexes 1 and 2 were both in a distorted-octahedral environment, and some intermolecular hydrogen bonding linkages were also observed in each complex. Bromination reaction activity of the two complexes was evaluated with phenol red as organic substrate in the presence of H₂O₂, Br^- and phosphate buffer, indicating that they can be considered as a potential functional model of VHPO. In addition, thermal analysis was also performed and discussed in detail.     

Solid-state (55)Mn NMR spectroscopy of bis(μ-oxo)dimanganese(IV) [Mn(2)O(2)(salpn)(2)], a model for the oxygen evolving complex in photosystem II

We have examined the antiferromagneticly coupled bis(μ-oxo)dimanganese(IV) complex [Mn(2)O(2)(salpn)(2)] (1) with (55)Mn solid-state NMR at cryogenic temperatures and first-principle theory. The extracted values of the (55)Mn quadrupole coupling constant, C(Q), and its asymmetry parameter, η(Q), for 1 are 24.7 MHz and 0.43, respectively. Further, there was a large anisotropic contribution to the shielding of each Mn(4+), i.e. a Δσ of 3375 ppm. Utilizing broken symmetry density functional theory, the predicted values of the electric field gradient (EFG) or equivalently the C(Q) and η(Q) at ZORA, PBE QZ4P all electron level of theory are 23.4 MHz and 0.68, respectively, in good agreement with experimental observations.     

Thermochemical investigations of the systems KCl−KBr−H2O,K2SO4−(NH4)2SO4−H2O and KNO3−NH4NO3−H2O at 298.15 K

For the equilibrium solid phases occurring in the systems: KCl?KBr?H₂O, K₂SO₄?(NH₄)₂SO₄?H₂O and KNO₃?NH₄NO₃?H₂O, the concentration dependencies of differential solution enthalpies, Δ_sol H ₂ for several crystallization paths, were measured. The limiting differential solution enthalpies, Δ_sol H ₂ ⁰ , were determined by extrapolation of the above dependencies to the ionic strength,I _m ⁰ , corresponding to the appropriate binary solutions. For KCl?KBr?H₂O system only, the clear dependence between Δ_sol H ₂ ⁰ andI _m ⁰ values was found and discussed.

Morphological evolution of (NH4)(0.5)V2O5·mH2O fibers into belts, triangles, and rings

In this contribution, single-crystalline (NH(4))(0.5)V(2)O(5)·mH(2)O xerogels made of belts, rings, triangles, and ovals have been synthesized using a surfactant-free hydrothermal method. The analytical techniques of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) have been used to characterize the morphology, composition, and structure of the as-prepared products. On the basis of SEM and TEM observations, we suggested that the as-prepared (NH(4))(0.5)V(2)O(5)·mH(2)O rings, triangles, and ovals have been formed by connecting two ends of the vanadium oxide sheet made of edge and corner sharing VO(5) square pyramids. The as-prepared (NH(4))(0.5)V(2)O(5)·mH(2)O nanobelts are up to several hundreds of micrometers long, 402-551 nm wide, and 235-305 nm thick. The thickness and width of the rings are respectively ～454 nm and ～1 μm. Triangles with three unequal sides having a thickness of ～143 nm and a width of ～1 μm were also formed. The crystalline orthorhombic phase of shcherbianite V(2)O(5) was obtained on calcination of (NH(4))(0.5)V(2)O(5)·mH(2)O at 350 °C for 2 h. The SEM image of this V(2)O(5) product retains the parent morphology of the preheated compound. A possible reaction mechanism and the growth process involved in the formation of belts/rings/triangles and ovallike microstructures are discussed.
