Composition and stability constants of mixed complexes thus formed have been determined on the basis of the potentiometric measurements, whereas interaction centres in ligands have been identified by VIS and NMR spectral parameter analysis. Mixed tetraprotonated complexes with Ni^II, i.e. Ni(ADP)H₄(Spm), Ni(ATP)H₄(Spm), Ni(ADP)H₄(3,3,3‐tet) and Ni(ATP)H₄(333‐tet), are identified as ML·······L′ type adducts, in which the main coordination centre is the nucleotide nitrogen N(1) or N(7) donor atom, and the fully protonated polyamine is engaged in noncovalent interactions with nucleotide phosphate group oxygen atoms. Ni(ADP)H₂(Spm), Ni(ATP)H₂(Spm), Ni(ADP)H₂(3,3,3‐tet) and Ni(ATP)H₂(3,3,3‐tet) complexes represent the {N3} coordination type In diprotonated mixed complexes of Ni^II with spermine are weak noncovalent interligand interactions, providing an additional stabilising effect.

Complexes 1 – 5 exhibit the Hpmad‐based emissions. The magnetic properties of 1–5 were also investigated.     

Polyol‐Metall‐Komplexe. 491) μ‐Dulcitolato‐O2, 3;4, 5‐Komplexe mit Amin‐Kupfer(II)‐ und ‐Nickel(II)‐Metallfragmenten

Polyol Metal Complexes. 49¹⁾ μ‐Dulcitolato‐O^{2, 3;4, 5} Complexes with Cu^II(en) and Ni^II(tren) Metal Fragments The dinuclear ethylenediamine‐copper(II) complex of the tetra‐anion of the achiral alditol dulcitol (galactitol) is remarkable, since it was the first crystalline carbohydrate—metal complex ever reported (W. Traube, G. Glaubitt, V. Schenck, Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1930 , 63, 2083—2093). Although its existence is recognized for many decades, its structure remained unknown due to a kind of crystal packing that promotes twinning. Crystal growth at low temperatures now yielded crystalline specimens of [(en)₂Cu₂(Dulc2, 3, 4, 5H_—4)] · 7 H₂O ( 1 ) that have allowed us to unravel both the crystal structure and the twinning law. Closely related molecular structures are adopted by [(tren)₂Ni₂(Dulc2, 3, 4, 5H_—4)] · 20 H₂O ( 2 ) and [(Me₃tren)₂Ni₂(Dulc2, 3, 4, 5H_—4)] · 16 H₂O ( 3 ), the latter showing the shortest hydrogen bond towards a polyolate acceptor ever found (O···O distance: 2.422Å).

The reactions of Ln(NO₃)₃ · 6H₂O and 4‐acetamidobenzoic acid (Haba) with 4,4′‐bipyridine (4,4′‐bpy) in ethanol solution resulted in three new lanthanide coordination polymers, namely {[Ln(aba)₃(H₂O)₂] · 0.5(4,4′‐bpy) · 2H₂O}_∞ [Ln = Sm ( 1 ), Gd ( 2 ), and Er ( 3 ), aba = 4‐acetamidobenzoate].

Moreover, the adjacent 1D chains in the complex are further linked through numerous N–H ··· O and O–H ··· O hydrogen bonds to form a 3D supramolecular network. In addition, complex 1 in the solid state shows characteristic emission in the visible region at room temperature.

Antibacterial, antifungal and antiprotozoal properties of H₅Imds and H₃Imdp together with three copper(II) trinuclear species of H₅Imds of formula Cu₃(HImds)(NO₃)₂^.2CH₃OH·2H₂O, Cu₃(HImds)(ClO₄)₂^.EtOH·2H₂O and Cu₃(HImds)SO₄·4H₂O are also discussed. The H₅Imds ligand and their trinuclear copper(II) complexes showed good activities versus Trichomonas vaginalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Acanthamoeba castellanii.
