Five picolinato zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes, [Zn(ntb)(pic)]ClO₄·CH₃OH·2H₂O (1), [Zn(bbma)(pic)]NO₃·2CH₃OH (2), [Cd(ntb)(pic)]ClO₄·0.75CH₃OH·H₂O (3), [Cd₂(bbma)₂(pic)₂](ClO₄)₂ (4), and [Cd₂(bbp)(bbp_-H)(pic)₂(C₂H₅OH)]ClO₄ (5), have been synthesized, where pic is the anion of picolinic acid, ntb is tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine, bbma is bis(benzimidazol-2-yl-methyl)amine, and bbp is 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine. All the complexes were characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, elemental analysis, IR, fluorescence spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis. 1–3 are mononuclear complexes in which picolinate adopts a N,O-chelating mode. 4 is a symmetrical dinuclear complex bridged by two anti-parallel picolinates in a N,O,O-coordination mode. 5 is also a dinuclear complex in which only one picolinate is a bridge. A 1-D double chain is formed by extensive H-bonds and π–π stacking in 1, while single zigzag chains are formed in 5. Complexes 2–4 all exhibit 6³-hcb 2-D frameworks. They extend to form four-connected 6⁶-dia 3-D topological nets for 2 and 4 and five-connected 4⁶·6⁴-bnn 3-D topological nets for 3. The five complexes show emission maxima in the blue region in the solid state.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and properties of manganese(II) complexes with the tripod ligand tris(2-benzimidazylmethyl)amine and α,β-unsaturated carboxylates

Two new ternary complexes of manganese(II) with tris(2-benzimidazylmethyl)amine (ntb), and two different α,β-unsaturated carboxylates, {[Mn(ntb)(acrylate)](ClO₄)}₂?·?(H₂O)·3(CH₃OH) (1) and {[Mn(ntb)(α-methacrylate)](ClO₄)}₂·(H₂O)·2(CH₃OH) (2), have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analyses, thermal analyses, IR, UV and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the two complexes, ntb functions as a tripodal tetradentate ligand, resulting in trigonal pyramidal geometry. In each complex, an additional ligand, acrylate anion, or α-methacrylate anion, is coordinated at the opened site trans to the apical nitrogen atom of the ntb ligand. The crystal structure of 1 shows two crystallographically independent but chemically identical [Mn(ntb)(acrylate)]⁺ cations. In 2, the crystal structure shows two crystallographically independent and chemically different [Mn(ntb)(a-methacrylate)]⁺ cations. Cyclic voltammograms of the manganese complexes indicate a quasireversible Mn³⁺/Mn²⁺ couple. The X-band EPR spectrum of the complexes exhibits a six-line manganese hyperfine pattern with g?=?2, A?=?97 (1) and 93?G (2). The spectrum confirms that the material is high-spin Mn(II).     

Synthesis and characterization of picolinato and nicotinato cobalt(II) complexes containing tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine

Two new mononuclear cobalt(II) complexes [Co(ntb)(pic)](ClO₄) · (CH₃OH)_2.35 (1) and [Co(ntb)(nic)](ClO₄) · CH₃OH (2) were synthesized and structurally characterized, where ntb is tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine, pic is the anion of picolinic acid, and nic is the anion of nicotinic acid. The X-ray analysis indicates that the Co(II) center is six-coordinate in distorted octahedral and five-coordinate in distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry for 1 and 2, respectively. In 1, the picolinate anion coordinates to Co(II) in a bidentate μ₂-N,O chelating mode. In 2, the nicotinate anion coordinates with Co(II) through a monodentate carboxylate oxygen. 1-D chain structures were formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the two complexes and π–π interactions are important for the stabilization of the structures.

Two novel Ni^II complexes, [Ni(TMPzA)(CH₃CN)(H₂O)]· (ClO₄)₂ (1) and [Ni(TMPzA)(CH₃OH) (NCS)]· (ClO₄) (2), where TMPzA = tris[(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolemethyl)amine], have been synthesized and characterized. Their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Both complexes were isolated from the reactions of TMPzA ligand with metal salts, and thiocyanate as the second ligand in CH₃CN solution for (1) and in CH₃OH solution for (2), respectively. The title complexes are mononuclear structures, and which further assembled into a dimer by the intermolecular hydrogen bond in the unit cell, respectively. The solvent molecules participate in coordination. The spectra properties of the two complexes in solution have been further studied and discussed. The oxidation of styrene catalyzed by the title complexes has been studied, and the new complexes show some catalytic activity under the reaction conditions.     

Syntheses and structures of nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with biacetyl bis(benzoylhydrazone): one-dimensional self-assembly via π–π interaction and hydrogen bonding

Reactions of Ni(O₂CCH₃)₂·4H₂O and Cu(O₂CCH₃)₂·H₂O with biacetyl bis(benzoylhydrazone) (H₂babh) in alcoholic media afford mononuclear nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of general formula [M(babh)]. The complexes have been characterized by microanalysis (C, H, N), magnetic susceptibility, and various spectroscopic measurements. X-ray structures of both complexes have been determined. The metal centre in [Ni(babh)] is in square-planar N₂O₂ environment provided by the tetradentate babh²⁻. On the other hand, [Cu(babh)] crystallizes as distorted square-pyramidal [Cu(babh)(CH₃OH)] from methanol. Here the tetradentate babh²⁻ constitutes the N₂O₂ square-base and the O-coordinating methanol occupies the apical site. In the crystal lattice, the molecules of [Ni(babh)] form a one-dimensional π-stacked structure. The [Cu(babh)(CH₃OH)] molecules also form a one-dimensional structure with alternating long and short Cu···Cu distances via intermolecular O–H···N hydrogen bonding and π–π interaction.

Two 2-D Cd(II) complexes, {[Cd(imb)(bdc)(H₂O)]·CH₃OH}_n (1) and {[Cd(imb)(Hbtc)(CH₃OH)]·2H₂O·CH₃OH}_n (2), have been synthesized by reactions of CdCl₂·2.5H₂O with 2-(1H-imidazol-1-methyl)-1H-benzimidazole (imb) and 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H₂bdc) or 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H₃btc). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that 1 possesses an infinite 2-D layered structure in which all the carboxylates chelate Cd(II) and imb bridge Cd(II) ions. Complex 2 also features an infinite 2-D layered structure and imb ligands also bridge Cd(II) ions, but two carboxylates of each 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate coordinate to Cd(II) in monodentate or chelating mode, leaving the third one, which is not deprotonated, uncoordinated. IR spectra, fluorescent properties, and thermogravimetric analyses of both complexes have been investigated.

Crystallisation Solvent Influence on the Crystal Structures of MnII and NiII Complexes with 2,6‐bis(1‐salicyloylhydrazonoethyl)pyridine,H4daps

Neutral manganese and nickel complexes of the empirical formulae Mn(H₂daps)(H₂O)_0.5 and Ni(H₂daps) · (H₂O)_1.5(CH₃CN) have been prepared by electrochemical syntheses. The structures of the complexes formed from solvents with different donor ability were investigated. Recrystallisation of Mn(H₂daps)(H₂O)_0.5 from pyridine and ethanol yields [Mn(H₂daps)(py)₂] 1 and [Mn(H₂daps)(C₂H₅OH) · (H₂O)] 2 . Slow evaporation of dichloromethane and methanol solutions of Ni(H₂daps)(H₂O)_1.5(CH₃CN) allows the isolation of single crystals of [Ni₂(H₂daps)₂] · CH₂Cl₂ 4 and [Ni₂(H₂daps)₂(CH₃OH)₂] · 3 CH₃OH · H₂O 5 , suitable for X‐ray diffraction studies. Recrystallisation of 4 from pyridine yields [Ni₂(H₂daps)₂(py)₂] · CH₂Cl₂ 6 , previously characterised by us. This study shows the versatility of the H₄daps ligand and the influence that the crystallisation solvent can have on the crystal structure of these complexes.
