The structure of the title compound, [Ni(ths)(bbip)(dmf)]·­H₂O [ths is thio­sulfate, S₂O₃; bbip is 2,6‐bis(1H‐benz­imidazol‐2‐yl)­pyridine, C₂₁H₁₃N₅; and dmf is di­methyl­form­amide, C₃H₇NO], is monomeric, with the nickel ion octahe­drally surrounded by an N,N′,N′′‐tridentate bbip mol­ecule, an S,O‐bidentate ths mol­ecule and an O‐monodentate dmf mol­ecule. The H atoms of the hydration water mol­ecule and the amino groups of bbip are involved in hydrogen bonding and determine a spatial organization of broad layers parallel to (001), which are connected by weak interactions.     

Bis­[1,3‐bis(2‐methyl­tetrazol‐5‐yl‐κN4)­triazenido‐κN2]­nickel(II)

The title compound, [Ni(BMTT)₂], where BMTT is 1,3‐bis(2‐methyl­tetrazol‐5‐yl)­triazenide (C₄H₆N₁₁), presents a molecular complex with tridentate ligands. The tridentate mode of the ligand is realised through the central N atom of the triazene group and two N atoms of the two tetrazole rings. The [Ni(BMTT)₂] mol­ecule is the meridional isomer, with crystallographic symmetry in space group P4₂/n. The nickel centre has a distorted octahedral environment, with two axial Ni—N bonds of 2.041 (2) Å and four equatorial Ni—N bonds of 2.0739 (14) Å. The mol­ecules are linked together by van der Waals interactions only.     

Bis(acesulfamato‐κ2O4,N)bis­(3‐methyl­pyridine)copper(II)

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.

In the crystal structure of the title compound [systematic name: diaqua­bis(6‐methyl‐2,2‐dioxo‐1,2,3‐oxathia­zin‐4‐olato‐κO⁴)bis­(3‐methyl­pyridine‐κN)nickel(II)], [Ni(C₄H₄NO₄S)₂(C₆H₇N)₂(H₂O)₂], the Ni^II centre resides on a centre of symmetry and has a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The basal plane is formed by two carbonyl O atoms of two monodentate trans‐oriented acesulfamate ligands and two trans aqua ligands.

The binuclear cation of the title compound, [Ni₂(C₃₃H₂₉­N₄O₃)(H₂O)₄]C₂H₃O₂·C₃H₇NO·0.75H₂O, was synthesized as a model for the active site of urease. Two tridentate halves of the symmetrical 2,6‐bis{[(2‐hydroxy­phenyl)(2‐pyridyl­methyl)­amino]­methyl}‐4‐methyl­phenolate (BPPMP^3?) ligand are arranged in a meridional fashion around the two Ni^II ions, with the phenoxo O atom bridging the Ni^II ions. The cation has an approximate twofold rotation axis running through the C—O bond of the bridging phenolate group. Four water mol­ecules complete the octahedral environment of each Ni^II ion.

The title compound, [Zn(C₇H₄NO₄)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)], has been synthesized. X‐Ray analysis reveals that it is a neutral zinc(II) mononuclear carboxyl­ate complex based on mixed N‐ and O‐donor ligands. The Zn atom is five‐coordinate in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environment involving two O atoms of two monodentate 2‐nitro­benzoate mol­ecules, two N atoms of a 1,10‐phenanthroline mol­ecule and one O atom of a water mol­ecule. The axial positions are occupied by a carboxyl­ate O atom from the 2‐nitro­benzoate ligand and an N atom from the 1,10‐phenanthroline ligand [N—Zn—O = 167.66 (9)°].     

cis‐[1,4‐Bis(di­phenyl­phosphino)­butane](μ‐tetra­thio­tungstato)­palladium(II) N,N′‐di­methyl­form­amide hemisolvate hemihydrate

In the title compound, [1,4‐bis(di­phenyl­phosphino)­butane‐2κ²P,P′]­di‐μ‐thio‐1:2κ⁴S‐di­thio‐1κ²S‐palladium(II)­tung­sten(VI) N,N′‐di­methyl­form­amide hemisolvate hemihydrate, [PdWS₄­(C₂₈H₂₈P₂)]·0.5C₃H₇NO·0.5H₂O, the Pd atom is coordinated by two S atoms from the distorted‐tetrahedral [WS₄]²⁻ anion and two P atoms from the dppb mol­ecule [dppb is 1,4‐bis(di­phenyl­phos­phino)­butane] in an approximately square‐planar configuration.

Dichloro[1,1′‐(5,9‐dithia‐2,12‐diazoniatrideca‐1,12‐diene‐1,13‐diyl)dinaphthalen‐2‐olato‐κ2O,O′]dimethyltin(IV) acetonitrile solvate

Reaction of the potentially hexadentate ligand 1,9‐bis(2‐hydroxy‐1‐naphthalene­methyl­imino)‐3,7‐di­thia­nonane with di­methyl­tin chloride gave the title 1:1 adduct, in which the long ligand wraps around the SnCl₂Me₂ unit and in which the stereochemistry is fully trans. This compound crystallizes from aceto­nitrile as the 1:1 solvate [Sn(CH₃)₂(C₂₉H₃₀N₂­O₂S₂)Cl₂]·­C₂H₃N. During the reaction, the hydroxyl protons move to the N atoms. Most of the chemically equivalent bond lengths agree to within experimental uncertainty, but the Sn—Cl bond that is inside the ligand pocket is substantially longer than the Sn—Cl bond that points away from the long ligand [2.668 (1) versus 2.528 (1) Å]. The O—Sn—O angle is 166.0 (1)°. Comparison of the Sn—O, C—O and aryl C—C bond lengths with those of related compounds shows that the most important resonance forms for the Schiff base aryl­oxide ligand are double zwitterions, but that the uncharged resonance forms having carbonyl groups also contribute significantly.     

(2‐Methyl­quinolin‐8‐olato)­iron(III) and ‐copper(II) complexes

The crystal structures of tris(2‐methyl­quinolin‐8‐olato‐N,O)­iron(III), [Fe­(C₁₀­H₈­NO)₃], (I), and aqua­bis(2‐methyl­quinolin‐8‐olato‐N,O)­copper(II), [Cu­(C₁₀­H₈NO)₂­(H₂O)], (II), have been determined. Compound (I) has a distorted octahedral configuration, in which the central Fe atom is coordinated by three N atoms and three O atoms from three 2‐methylquinolin‐8‐olate ligands. The three Fe—O bond distances are in the range 1.934 (2)–1.947 (2) Å, while the three Fe—N bond distances range from 2.204 (2) to 2.405 (2) Å. In compound (II), the central Cu^II atom and H₂O group lie on the crystallographic twofold axis and the coordination geometry of the Cu^II atom is close to trigonal bipyramidal, with the three O atoms in the basal plane and the two N atoms in apical positions. The Cu—N bond length is 2.018 (5) Å. The Cu—O bond length in the basal positions is 1.991 (4) Å, while the Cu—O bond length in the apical position is 2.273 (6) Å. There is an intermolecular OW—H?O hydrogen bond which links the mol­ecules into a linear chain along the b axis.     

Supramolecular structures of three isomeric 4‐(methyl­phenylamino)­pyridine‐3‐sulfonamides

The structures of the three title isomers, namely 4‐(2‐methyl­anilino)pyridine‐3‐sulfonamide, (I), 4‐(3‐methyl­anilino)pyridine‐3‐sulfonamide, (II), and 4‐(4‐methyl­anilino)pyridine‐3‐sulfonamide, (III), all C₁₂H₁₃N₃O₂S, differ in their hydrogen‐bonding arrangements. In all three mol­ecules, the conformation of the 4‐amino­pyridine‐3‐sulfon­amide moiety is conserved by an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and a C—H⋯O inter­action. In the supra­mol­ecular structures of all three isomers, similar C(6) chains are formed via inter­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to C(4) chains in (I), and to R₂²(8) centrosymmetric dimers in (II) and (III). In each isomer, the overall effect of all hydrogen bonds is to form layer structures.

The ternary complexes assemble into one‐dimensional chains through C—H⋯π inter­actions and direct N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, as well as into hydrogen‐bonded water helices with branches which also link the complex chains into a three‐dimensional supra­molecular 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.     

{2,6‐Bis­[(di­methyl­amino)­methyl]­phenyl‐N2,C1,N6}di­phenyl­tin(II) bromide monohydrate

In the title compound, [Sn(C₆H₅)₂(C₁₂H₁₉N₂)]Br·H₂O, the Sn^IV atom lies on a twofold axis and is coordinated by a C and two N atoms from the 2,6‐bis­[(di­methyl­amino)­methyl]­phenyl ligand in a tridentate fashion and by two phenyl groups. The resulting geometry is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, with three C atoms in equatorial and the two N atoms in axial positions. The main deformation from ideal trigonal‐bipyramidal geometry is seen for the N—Sn—N angle [152.18 (7)°]. The Br^? anion and the water solvate mol­ecule are on an inversion centre and twofold axis, respectively. They form an infinite chain of Br?H—O—H?Br hydrogen bonds [Br?O 3.529 (2) Å] without contributing to the primary coordination sphere of the Sn atom.     

Bis(isoquinoline‐1‐carboxylato‐κ2O,N)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)zinc(II) dimethylformamide sesqui­solvate

The Zn atom is coordinated to one 1,10‐phenanthroline ligand and to two iso­quinoline­carboxyl­ate anions (IQC^?) via their N and O atoms. The complex exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry around the Zn^II atom, with the apical positions occupied by the O atoms of the IQC^? ligands. The Zn atom lies 0.049 (1) Å out of the basal plane. The crystal packing is characterized by several hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, (C₇H₁₀N)[Ca(C₃H₇NO)₆][PMo₁₂O₄₀], two types of cations {viz. 1,4‐di­methyl­pyridinium and a [Ca(DMF)₆]²⁺ complex cation (DMF is di­methyl­form­amide)} and dodecamolybdophosphate (tetra­conta­oxo­phos­phido­dodeca­molybdate) anions form an infinite three‐dimensional assembly via electrostatic forces.     

Bis{μ‐2‐[(2,3‐dichloro­phenyl)­amino]­benzoato‐κO}di‐μ2‐ethoxo‐octa­methyl­di‐μ3‐oxo‐tetra­tin(IV)

The title compound, [Sn₄(CH₃)₈(C₁₃H₈Cl₂NO₂)₂(C₂H₅O)₂O₂], is a centrosymmetric dimer, with three linearly fused four‐membered Sn—O—Sn—O rings. The coordination poly­hedron of the Sn atom bonded to the carboxyl­ate can be described as trigonal–bipyramidal distorted toward square‐pyramidal. That of the second Sn atom is similar, but the distortion towards square‐pyramidal geometry is greater. The Sn—O and Sn—C distances are 2.020 (2)–2.226 (2) and 2.096 (4)–2.114 (4) Å, respectively. The benzene rings of the 2‐[(2,3‐dichloro­phenyl)­amino]benzoate ligand subtend an angle of 50.49 (17)°; the conformation of the ligand is stabilized by intra­molecular N—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The structure is assembled viaπ–π stacking inter­actions to form chains parallel to [10].     

Di‐μ‐iodo‐bis{[1,1′‐methyl­enebis(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐κN2)]copper(I)}

In the title compound, [Cu₂I₂(C₁₁H₁₆N₄)₂], each of the two crystallographically equivalent Cu atoms is tetrahedrally coordinated by two N atoms from one 1,1′‐methyl­ene­bis(3,5‐di­methyl‐1H‐pyrazole) ligand and two bridging iodide anions. The mol­ecule has a crystallographic center of symmetry located at the mid‐point of the Cu·Cu line. One H atom of the CH₂ group of the 1,1′‐methyl­ene­bis(3,5‐di­methyl‐1H‐pyrazole) ligand interacts with an iodide ion in an adjacent mol­ecule to afford pairwise intermolecular C—H·I contacts, thereby forming chains of mol­ecules running along the [101] direction.     

Aqua[bis(pyrimidin‐2‐yl‐κN)amine](carbonato‐κ2O,O′)copper(II) dihydrate

The title mononuclear complex, [Cu(CO₃)(C₈H₇N₅)(H₂O)]·2H₂O, was obtained by fixation of CO₂ by a mixture of copper(II) tetra­fluoro­borate and the ligand bis­(pyrimidin‐2‐yl)­amine in ethanol/water. The Cu^II ion of the complex has a distorted square‐pyramidal environment, with a basal plane formed by two N atoms of the ligand and two chelating O atoms of the carbonate group, while the apical position is occupied by the O atom of the coordinating water mol­ecule. In the solid state, hydrogen‐bonding interactions are dominant, the most unusual being the Watson–Crick‐type coplanar ligand pairing through two N—H?N bonds. Lattice water mol­ecules also participate in hydrogen bonding.

Dihedral angles between the pyridine and phenyl rings are 69.9 (1), 26.7 (1) and 56.2 (1)° in (I), (II) and (III), respectively. Donor–acceptor π–π stacking is observed in (II) and (III), but not in (I).
