Crystal structure ofmer,trans-[Ru(NO2)(trpy)(PPr3) 2 + ][ClO 4 − ], a species with disordered PPr3 and NO2 ligands

The complexmer,trans-[Ru(NO₂)(trpy)(PPr₃) ₂ ⁺ ][ClO ₄ ^– ]crystallizes in the centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pnma withZ=4. Both the ruthenium(II) cation and the perchlorate ligand lie about crystallographic mirror planes. The nitro ligand is not coplanar with the Ru(trpy) moiety and suffers from two fold disorder about its Ru–N bond such that the two sets of oxygen atoms have symmetry-related sites above or below the crystallographic mirror plane. The n-propyl groups within the PPr₃ ligands suffer from disorder of their C() and C() atoms but share common C() sites. Ruthenium-ligand distances are: Ru–PPr₃=2.398(2)Å, Ru–NO₂=2.053(7) Å, Ru–N(trpy, outer)=2.078(6) and 2.092(6) Å and Ru–N(trpy, central) =1.965(6) Å.

In contrast, with 2 molar equivalents of Ph₂P(CH₂)₅PPh₂ (dpppe), 1 gave the highly insoluble polymeric complex [Mn(²-pyS)(-dpppe)(CO)₂]n (4).

Reactions of [Mn2(μ-pyS)2(CO)6] with bidentate N-donor ligands: Crystal structure of [Mn(η1-pyS)(bipy)(CO)3] (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridyl, pySH = pyridine-2-thiol)

The dimeric complex [Mn₂(-pyS)₂(CO)₆] (1) reacted with 2 equivalents of 2,2-bipyridyl (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), and ethylenediamine (en) to give the corresponding monomeric complexes [Mn(¹-pyS)(bipy)(CO)₃] (2), [Mn(¹-pyS)(phen)(CO)₃] (3), and [Mn( ¹-pyS)(en)(CO)₃] (4). The pyS ligand in these complexes acts as a monodentate, two-electron donor ligand, which coordinates to manganese through the sulfur atom.

Structure I is built of the { Ca(H₂O)₄[Co(Nta)(Pic)]₂{ _1∞ polymer ribbons and molecules of crystallization water. One of the two symmetrically independent anionic complexes (B) is included in the chain and alternates with cationic units, whereas the other anionic complex (A) forms a branch of this chain. The cationic and anionic units are interlinked via the interactions of the Ca²⁺ cations with the carbonyl atoms of the main (Nta ^3?) and additional (Pic ^?1) ligands. The octahedral environment of the Co(III) atoms consists of donor atoms of the Nta ^3? (N + 3O) and Pic ^? (N + O) ligands. The coordination polyhedron of the Ca atom (pentagonal bipyramid) includes two carbonyl O atoms of two Nta ^3? ligands, one O_Pic atom, and four O_w atoms of water molecules.     

Crystal structure of triaquamaleatostrontium(II) monohydrate, [Sr(C4H2O4)(OH2)3]·H2O

[Sr(C₄H₂O₄)(OH₂)₃]·H₂O is monoclinic, P2₁/n, witha=11.476(2),b=7.027(1),c=12.344(2) Å, =115.74(3)°,V=896.67 ų,Z=4. The Sr atom is surrounded by nine oxygen atoms which come from four different maleate anions and three water molecules. The Sr–O distances range from 2.546(2) to 2.808(2) Å. The C–O distances are equal within the standard deviation 1.263(3) to 1.258(3) Å). In the maleate anion, the planes that contain the carboxylate groups form an angle of 74.44(9)°. Both carboxylate groups deviate significantly from planarity. The different coordination modes of the carboxylate group and the extensive hydrogen bonding present are responsible for the polymeric nature of the structure.     

Crystal and molecular structure of complex compound [Fe3O(CH3COO)6(H2O)3]2[ZnCl4] ⋅ 2H2O

The X-ray crystal structure of trinuclear iron acetate [Fe₃O(CH₃COO)₆(H₂O)₃]₂ [ZnCl₄] ? 2H₂O was determined. The crystal has a ionic structure.

The structure of the cationic complex [Fe₃O(CH₃COO)₆(H₂O)₃]⁺ is typical of trinuclear iron(III) compounds containing a μ₃-O bridge: the iron atoms are situated at the vertices of an almost equilateral triangle with the O atom at the center. Each Fe atom is coordinated by four O atoms of bridging carboxy groups, the μ₃-bridging O atom, and the water molecule in the trans position to the latter O atom. Mössbauer spectroscopy evidence indicates the high-spin state (_S = 5/2) of the iron(III) ions.     

X-ray crystal structure ofcis-H(Ph3Si)Pt[Ph2P(CH2)4PPh2] ·0.5 C6H6

The title compound, cis-hydrido(triphenylsilyl)-1,4-butanediyl-bis-(diphenylphosphine)platinum(II) (I), crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2 ₁/n (No. 14) witha=9.472(4),b=16.924(5),c=25.799(4) Å, β=91.29(3)° andZ=4. The structure was solved using the direct methods and refined by the full-matrix least-squares procedure to yield residuals ofR=0.024 andR _w =0.025 based on 4160 unique reflections. The square-planar geometry about the Pt atom is angularly distorted with P(1)?Pt?P(2) and Si?Pt?P(2) angles of 103.5(1) and 102.1(1)°, respectively. The Pt?P(1) bond is longer than the Pt?P(2) bond due to thetrans influence of the SiPh₃ group. Distortion due to steric bulk of the ligands is accommodated by the opening of the tetrahedral angles at the silicon and phosphorous atoms.     

Geometrical model of the structure of the heterocomplex compound [Cr(OCN2H4)6]3+[Co(DH)2(NO2)2] 3 − ⋅ 2H2O
