Compound 1, [Zn(H-Eno) · Cl₂] · 3H₂O (H-Eno = Enoxacin), crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P 1, with lattice parameters a = 8.7731(12), b = 9.4976(14), and c = 13.2033(19) Å, α = 86.319(7)°, β = 71.912(7)°, and γ = 80.604(7)°, V = 1031.6(3) ų, Z = 2, D _Calcd = 1.631 Mg m^?3; compound 2, [Zn(H-Eno) · (H₂O)₂] · 2NO₃, also crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P 1, with lattice parameters a = 8.751(2), b = 9.014(2), and c = 12.594(3) Å, α = 92.277(14)°, β = 109.867(12)°, and γ = 111.469(12)°, V = 854.1(3) ų, Z = 1, D _Calcd = 1.684 Mg m^?3.     

A cyanide-containing cobalt(III) complex [Co(phen)2(CN)2][Co(phen)(CN)4]·4.5H2O: hydrothermal synthesis,crystal structure and spectroscopic properties

A cyanide-containing cobalt(III) complex, [Co(phen)₂(CN)₂][Co(phen)(CN)₄]?·?4.5H₂O (1: phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized by hydrothermal techniques and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The complex is triclinic, space group P 1 , with a?=?11.0047(16), b?=?12.9587(19), c?=?15.076(2)?Å, α?=?100.060(2), β?=?102.061(2), γ?=?91.803(2)°, V?=?2065.0(5)?ų, Z?=?2, and R ₁ [I?>?2σ(I)]?=?0.0481. The molecular unit of 1 consists of a cation/anion pair with interstitial water molecules in the crystal lattice. The combination of coordinative, hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions results in the stabilization of a supramolecular solid-state architecture.
