Synthesis, characterization, and chiral properties of CoIII2AgI3 pentanuclear, CoIII4ZnII4 octanuclear, and CoIII mononuclear complexes with aza-capped hexadentate-N3S3 thiolate ligands: crystal structures of

The reaction of an S-bridged Co2(III)Ag3(I) pentanuclear complex, [Ag3[Co(aet)3]2][BF4]3 (aet = NH2CH2CH2S-), with paraformaldehyde in basic acetonitrile, followed by adding aqueous ammonia, produced an aza-capped Co2(III)-Ag3(I) complex, [Ag3[Co(L)]2]3+ ([1]3+) (L = N(CH2NHCH2CH2S-)3). The crystal structure of [1]3+ was determined by X-ray crystallography. [1][PF6]3 x H2O, empirical formula C18H44Ag3Co2F18N8OP3S6, crystallizes in the tetragonal space group 142m with a = 13.012(1) A, c = 24.707(2) A, and Z = 4. In [1]3+ the two aza-capped [Co(L)] units are linked by three Ag(I) atoms, such that the two Co(III) atoms are encapsulated in a macrobicyclic metallocage, [Ag3(I)(L)2]3-. [1]3+ was converted to an aza-capped Co4(III)Zn4(II) octanuclear complex, [Zn4O[Co(L)]4]6+ ([2]6+), by reaction with I- in the presence of Zn2+ and ZnO in water. The crystal structure of [2]6+ was also determined by X-ray crystallography. [2][PF6]6 x 8H2O, empirical formula C36H100Co4F36N16O9P6S12Zn4, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1/n) with a = 14.33(7) A, b = 25.67(10) A, c = 24.83(6) A, beta = 101.3(3) degrees , and Z = 4. In [2]6+ each of four [Co(L)] units is bound to each trigonal Zn3(II) face of the tetrahedral [Zn4(II)O]6+ core, such that each Co(III) atom is encapsulated in a macrobicyclic [Zn4(II)O(L)] fragment. Treatment of [2]6+ with a basic aqueous solution resulted in a cleavage of the Zn-S bonds to produce an aza-capped Co(III) mononuclear complex, [Co(L)] ([3]), from which [1]3+ is readily reproduced by the reaction with Ag+ in water. All the reactions were found to proceed with retention of the absolute configuration (delta or lambda) of the Co(III) chiral centers; deltadelta-[1]3+, deltadeltadeltadelta-[2]6+, and A-[3] were derived from deltadelta-[Ag3[Co(aet)3]2]3+. The contributions to circular dichroism (CD) from the triple helicity in [1]3+, besides from the asymmetric N and S donor atoms and the Co(III) chiral centers in [1]3+ and [2]6+, were estimated by comparing the CD spectra of deltadelta-[1]3+, deltadeltadeltadelta-[2]6+, and delta-[3].

The complex [Zn(2)L(2)(mu-OBz)(OBz)(H(3)O)](ClO(4)) in which the coordinated water molecule is present as the hydronium ion (H(3)O(+)) on deprotonation gives rise to the neutral dibenzoate-bridged compound [Zn(2)L(2)(mu-OBz)(2)].H(2)O.

The binding constants (K) evaluated for these systems vary in the range (1-8) x 10(5).     

Heterotetranuclear CuI2PdⅡ2 Complex with Bis(diphenylphosphino)methane and Diethyldithiocarbamate

Self-assembly between the building blocks of Pd(Et2dtc)2 (Et2dtc = diethyldithio carbamate) and [Cu2(μ-dppm)2(MeCN)2]2+ (dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) gave a new heterotetranuclear complex [Cu2Pd2(μ-dppm)2(μ-Et2dtc)2(μ3-Et2dtc)2](ClO4)2.H2O (C70H86Cl2Cu2-N4O9P4Pd2S8, Mr = 1932.56), and its crystal structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1- with a = 11.9834(6), b = 12.5624(6), c =14.5603(8) A, α = 101.393 (1), β = 103.300 (1), γ= 96.310(1)°, V = 2063.2(2) A3, Z = 1, Dc =1.544 g/cm3,μ(MoKα) = 1336 cm-1 and F(000) = 978. The total and unique reflections are 8710 and 5400, respectively. The structure was refined to R = 0.0860 and wR = 0.1996 for 3914 observed reflections with I ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ). The title complex consists of the cation [Cu2Pd2(μ-dppm)2(μ-Et2dtc)2(μ3-Et2dtc)2]2+, anion ClO4- and solvate H2O. The Pd(Ⅱ) atoms are located at the approximately square-planar environments with PS3 donors and the Cu(Ⅰ) atoms display distorted tetrahedral geometries.     

Synthesis and characterization of mono- and micro6-sulfato hexanuclear zinc complexes of a new symmetric dinucleating ligand

Zinc complexes of a new symmetric dinucleating ligand, N,N'-Bis[2-carboxybenzomethyl]-N,N'-Bis[carboxymethyl]-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol (H5ccdp) with mixed donating groups, have been studied in the solid state as well as in solution. In methanol, the reaction of stoichiometric and substoichiometric amounts of Zn(ClO4)2 x 6H2O and the ligand H5ccdp, in the presence of K2CO3 or Et3N, afforded a mononuclear zinc complex, [Zn(H2O)6][Zn(H2ccdp)(H2O)2]2 x 12H2O (1). The solid state structure of 1 contains two units of the zinc-ligand anion, [Zn(H2ccdp)(H2O)2]-, and one [Zn(H2O)6]2+ counter cation. The Zn(II) center of the anion is in a distorted octahedral geometry. However, in methanol, the reaction of ZnSO4 x 7H2O and the ligand Hsccdp in the presence of NaOH afforded a unique micro6-sulfato hexanuclear zinc complex, Na6[Zn6(ccdp)3(micro6-SO4)](OH) x 10.5H2O (2). The structure of 2 contains a [ZnII6(micro6-SO4)] core unit which is held together by three heptadentate bridging ligands, ccdp5-. Three of the Zn(II) centers are in highly distorted square pyramidal geometry, the other three Zn(II) centers are in a distorted octahedral geometry.     

Synthesis and Structure of a New Dimanganese Complex [Mn2(μ-OAc)2(phen)4](ClO4)2

A dinuclear manganese(II) complex, [Mn2(μ-Oac)2(phen)4](ClO4)2 1 (phen = phenanthroline), has been prepared by the reaction of Mn(Oac)2·4H2O, phen, tartaric acid and NaClO4·H2O in MeOH/H2O solution. The crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal is of monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 9.6052(4), b = 14.2353(7), c = 18.8893(8)(A),β= 96.584(1)°, C52H38Cl2Mn2N8O12, Mr = 1147.68, V = 2565.8(2) (A)3, Dc = 1.486 g/cm3, F(000) = 1172, μ = 0.668 cm-1 and Z = 2. The final refinement gave R = 0.0605 and wR = 0.1619 for 3203 reflections with I > 2σ(I). The complex contains a dinuclear [Mn2(μ-Oac)2(phen)4]]2+ cation located at a centre of symmetry with two syn-anti acetate bridges between the Mn atoms. Each Mn atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two chelating phen ligands and two O atoms from a pair of bridging acetate groups to furnish a distorted octahedral geometry. Two ClO4 anions exist around the cation [Mn2(μ-Oac)2(phen)4]2+as counter ions.     

Cyano-bridged FeIII2CuII3 and FeIII4NiII4 complexes: syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties

Two tricyanometallate precursors, (Bu4N)[(Tp4Bo)Fe(CN)3].H2O.2MeCN (1) and (Bu4N)[(pzTp)Fe(CN)3] (2) [Bu4N+ = tetrabutylammonium cation; Tp4Bo = tris(indazolyl)hydroborate; pzTp = tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate], with a low-spin FeIII center have been synthesized and characterized. The reactions of 1 or 2 with [Cu(Me3tacn)(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (Me3tacn = N,N',N' '-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) afford two pentanuclear cyano-bridged clusters, [(Tp4Bo)2(Me3tacn)3Cu3Fe2(CN)6](ClO4)4.5H2O (3) and [(pzTp)2(Me3tacn)3Cu3Fe2(CN)6](ClO4)4.4H2O (4), respectively. Assembly reactions between 2 and [Ni(phen)(CH3OH)4](ClO4)2 (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) or Zn(OAc)2.2H2O afford a molecular box [(pzTp)4(phen)4Ni4Fe4(CH3OH)4(CN)12](ClO4)4.4H2O (5) and a rectangular cluster [(pzTp)2Zn2Fe2(OAc)2(H2O)2(CN)6] (6). Their molecular structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In complexes 1 and 2, the central FeIII ions are coordinated by three cyanide carbon atoms and three nitrogen atoms of Tp4Bo- or pzTp-. Both complexes 3 and 4 show a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, in which [(L)Fe(CN)3]- units occupy the apical positions and are linked through cyanide to [Cu(Me3tacn)]2+ units situated in the equatorial plane. Complex 5 possesses a cubic arrangement of eight metal irons linked through edge-spanning cyanide bridges, while complex 6 shows Zn2Fe2(CN)4 rectangular structure, in which FeIII and ZnII ions are alternately bridged by the cyanide groups. Intramolecular ferromagnetic couplings are observed for complexes 3-5, and they have S = 5/2, 5/2, and 6 ground states and appreciable magnetic anisotropies with negative D values equal to -0.49, -2.39, and -0.39 cm-1, respectively.     

Synthesis,structure, and DNA cleavage activity of new trinuclear Zn(3) and Zn(2)Cu complexes of a chiral macrocycle: structural correlation with the active center of P1 nuclease

New homo trinuclear Zn(II) complexes [Zn(3)L(1)(micro-OAc)](ClO(4))(2).3CHCl(3).H(2)O, 1, and [Zn(3)L(1)(micro-OAc)].ClO(4).PF(6).5CH(3)OH.H(2)O, 2, and hetero trinuclear complex [Zn(2)CuL(1)(micro-OAc)](ClO(4))(2).3CHCl(3).H(2)O,3, of optically active hexaaza triphenolic macrocycle H(3)L(1) were synthesized and crystallographically characterized. The cation [Zn(3)L(1)(micro-OAc)](+) structure of 1 and 2 closely resembles the trinuclear Zn(II) active site of P1 nuclease. The distorted tetrahedral geometry of Zn3 was successfully reproduced at Cu1 in complex 3. The complexes 2 and 3 cleave CT DNA at 37 and 50 degrees C.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3,3＇-Bis（2-benzimidazolyl）-2,2＇-dipyridine with Hydrated Zinc（Ⅱ） Perchlorate

The reaction of Zn(ClO4)2·6H2O with 3,3'-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)-2,2'-dipyridine (L) gave a mononuclear zinc(II) complex: [ZnL2](ClO4)2·2DMF·4H2O, which was structurally characterized by EA, IR, UV, 1H NMR, fluorescence spectrum and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal (C54H54Cl2N14O14Zn, Mr = 1259.38) belongs to the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 20.874(2), b = 14.9953(16), c = 20.462(3) , β = 101.553(2)°, V = 6274.8(13) 3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.333 g/cm3, F (000) = 2608, μ(MoKα) = 0.548 mm–1, R = 0.0682 and wR = 0.1931 for 4984 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The Zn(II) is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry through four N atoms from four benzimidazole units of two ligands. In the crystal lattice, the [ZnL2]2+ cations are linked to each other by extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonds between nitrogen atoms of benzimidazole rings, water and DMF molecules.     

Synthesis, reactivities, and magnetostructural properties of FeIII, FeIII-O-FeIII, and ZnIIFeIII-O-FeIIIZnII complexes of a tetraiminodiphenolate macrocycle

The mononuclear iron(III) complexes [Fe(LH2)(H2O)Cl](ClO4)2.2H2O (1) and [Fe(LH2)(H2O)2](ClO4)3.H2O (2) have been prepared by reacting [Pb(LH(2))](ClO4)2 with FeCl3.6H2O and Fe(ClO(4))(3).6H(2)O, respectively. Complex 2 upon treatment with 1 equiv of alkali produces the oxo-bridged dimer [{Fe(LH2)(H2O)}2(mu-O)](ClO4)4.2H2O (3). In these compounds, LH2 refers to the tetraiminodiphenol macrocycle in the zwitterionic form whose two uncoordinated imine nitrogens are protonated and hydrogen-bonded to the metal-bound phenolate oxygens. The aqua ligands of complexes 1-3 get exchanged in acetonitrile. Reaction equilibria involving binding and exchange of the terminal ligands (Cl-/H2O/CH3CN) in these complexes have been studied spectrophotometrically. The equilibrium constant for the aquation reaction (K(aq)) [1]2+ + H2O <==> [2]3+ + Cl- in acetonitrile is 8.65(5) M, and the binding constant (K(Cl)-) for the reaction [1]2+ + Cl- [1Cl]+ + CH3CN is 4.75(5) M. The pK(D) value for the dimerization reaction 2[2]3+ + 2OH- <==> [3]4+ + 3H(2)O in 1:1 acetonitrile-water is 9.38(10). Complexes 1-3 upon reaction with Zn(ClO4)(2).6H(2)O and sodium acetate (OAc), pivalate (OPiv), or bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate (BNPP) produce the heterobimetallic complexes [{FeLZn(mu-X)}2(mu-O)](ClO4)2, where X = OAc (4), OPiv (5), and BNPP (6). The pseudo-first-order rate constant (k(obs)) for the formation of 4 at 25 degrees C from either 1 or 3 with an excess of Zn(OAc)2.2H2O in 1:1 acetonitrile-water at pH 6.6 is found to be the same with k(obs) = 1.6(2) x 10(-4) s(-1). The X-ray crystal structures of 3, 4, and 6 have been determined, although the structure determination of 3 was severely affected because of heavy disordering. In 3, the Fe-O-Fe angle is 168.6(6) degrees, while it is exactly 180.0 degrees in 4 and 6. Cyclic and square-wave voltammetric (CV and SWV) measurements have been carried out for complexes 1-4 in acetonitrile. The variation of the solvent composition (acetonitrile-water) has a profound effect on the E(1/2) and DeltaE(p) values. The binding of an additional chloride ion to an iron(III) center in 1-3 is accompanied by a remarkable shift of E(1/2) to more negative values. The observation of quasi-reversible CV for complexes containing a Fe(III)-O-Fe(III) unit (3 and 4) indicates that in the electrochemical time scale unusual Fe(III)-O-Fe(II) is produced. The 1H NMR spectra of complexes 3-6 exhibit hyperfine-shifted signals in the range 0-90 ppm with similar features. The metal-hydrogen distances obtained from T(1) measurements are in good agreement with the crystallographic data. Variable-temperature (2-300 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements carried out for 3 and 4 indicate strong antiferromagnetic exchange interaction (H = -2JS1.S2) between the high-spin iron(III) centers in the Fe-O-Fe unit with J = -114 cm(-1) (3) and -107 cm(-1) (4).     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3,3''-Bis(2-benzimidazolyl)-2,2''-dipyridine with Hydrated Zinc(Ⅱ) Perchlorate

The reaction of Zn(ClO4)2·6H2O with 3,3'-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)-2,2'-dipyridine (L) gave a mononuclear zinc(Ⅱ) complex: [ZnL2](ClO4)2·2DMF·4H2O, which was structurally characterized by EA, IR, UV, 1H NMR, fluorescence spectrum and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal (C54H54Cl2N14O14Zn, Mr=1259.38) belongs to the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a=20.874(2), b=14.9953(16), c=20.462(3) (A), β=101.553(2)°, V=6274.8(13) (A)3, Z=4, Dc=1.333 g/cm3, F (000)=2608, μ(MoKα)=0.548 mm-1, R=0.0682 and Wr=0.1931 for 4984 observed reflections with Ⅰ ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ). The Zn(Ⅱ) is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry through four N atoms from four benzimidazole units of two ligands. In the crystal lattice, the [ZnL2]2 cations are linked to each other by extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonds between nitrogen atoms of benzimidazole rings, water and DMF molecules.     

Chiral recognition and conglomerate crystallization induced by self-organization of cobalt(III) complexes of a tripodal ligand containing three imidazole groups

The effect of a counteranion on chiral recognition inducing conglomerate crystallization of a cobalt(III) complex is reported. An achiral tripodal ligand involving three imidazole groups, tris{[2-{(imidazol-4-yl)methylidene}amino]ethyl}amine (H3L), was prepared by condensation of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine and 4-formylimidazole in a 1:3 mole ratio. The reaction of H3L and trans-[CoIIICl2(py)4]+ afforded the chiral (Delta or Lambda) [CoIII(H3L)]3+ complex. The formally hemideprotonated complexes [CoIII(H(1.5)L)]X(1.5).nH2O (where X = Cl, Br, I, BF4, ClO4, or PF6) were synthesized by controlled deprotonation of the uncoordinated imidazole NH groups of [Co(H3L)]3+. In crystals of the hemideprotonated complex, two components, [Co(H3L)]3+ and [Co(L)], with the same absolute configuration are linked by imidazole-imidazolate hydrogen bonds to form an extended homochiral 2D sheet structure, which is composed of a hexanuclear unit with a trigonal void. There are two ways of stacking the sheets: One is via homochiral stacking, and the other is via heterochiral stacking. When the size of the counterion is small (i.e., X = Cl, Br, I, or BF4), adjacent homochiral sheets with the same chirality are stacked to form a homochiral crystal (conglomerate). With large anions (i.e., ClO4- and PF6-), a homochiral sheet consisting of Delta enantiomers and a sheet consisting of Lambda enantiomers are stacked alternately to give a heterochiral crystal (a racemic crystal). Optically active Lambda-[Co(H(1.5)L)](ClO4)(1.5).H2O was synthesized from Lambda-[Co(H3L)]3+, and the crystal structure was compared to that of the racemic complex. There are two conflicting factors governing the crystal structure: the skeletal density; the size of the channels. The 2D sheets are more closely packed in the homochiral crystal than in the heterochiral crystal. However, the channels, where the counterions are accommodated, are smaller in the homochiral crystal, and the steric congestion between the anions increases with increasing anion size. The heterochiral crystal has a flexible, zigzag channel structure, and the size of the channels can increase to accommodate larger anions. Thus, complexes with large anions (i.e., ClO4- and PF6-) preferentially form heterochiral crystals rather than homochiral crystals.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Property of a Dinuclear Manganese（Ⅱ） Complex [Mn_2（C_（12）H_8N_2）_4（C_8H_5O_4）_2]（C_8H_4O_4）·H_2O

One dinuclear manganese(II)complex [Mn2(C12H8N2)4(C8H5O4)2](C8H4O4)·H2O has been synthesized with o-phthalic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline.The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction.The crystal belongs to the triclinic system,space group P1 with a = 1.17767(3),b = 1.22292(2),c = 1.35860(3)nm,α = 110.5300(10),β = 97.6140(10),γ = 93.7300(10)o,V = 1.80307(7)nm3,Dc = 1.404 g/cm3,Z = 2,F(000)= 784,the final GOOF = 1.047,R = 0.0398 and wR = 0.1038.The crystal structure of the title complex consists of one [Mn2(C12H8N2)4(C8H5O4)2]2+ cation,one uncoordinate o-phthalate anion(C8H4O4)2-and one uncoordinate water molecule.In [Mn2(C12H8N2)4(C8H5O4)2]2+,the central Mn(II)ion is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms to give a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.The electrochemical property of the title complex was also studied.     

A Zinc TTR Complex with a Novel 2-D Structure （TTR = 3-Amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole）

The solvothermal reaction of 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole (ttr) with Zn(ClO4)2·6H2O and NaCl in a 1:1:1 molar ratio gave a new complex [Zn(ttr)Cl]n with a 3-connected (4.82) 2-D struc- ture. The layers stack in the -ABAB- way along the c axis with abundant hydrogen bonding interac- tions to form the crystal structure. The complex [Zn(ttr)Cl]n crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 9.369(1), b = 10.049(1), c = 11.905(1) , V = 1120.9(3) 3, Z = 8.00, C2N4H3ZnCl, Mr = 183.90, Dc = 2.180 g/cm3, μ = 4.740 mm-1, F(000) = 720, S = 1.059 and T = 293(2) K. The final R = 0.0662 and wR = 0.2457 for 956 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I), and R = 0.0689 and wR = 0.2504 for all data.     

Ditopic hexaazamacrocycles containing pyridine: synthesis, protonation and complexation studies

Structural studies of metal complexes of five ditopic hexaazamacrocycles containing two pyridine rings ([n]py2N4 n= 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) have been carried out. The synthesis of macrocycles [22]- to [26]-py2N4 are also reported. The protonation constants of the last three compounds and the stability constants of their complexes with Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Pb2+ were determined at 25 degrees C in 0.10 mol dm(-3) KNO3 in aqueous solution. Our results with [22]py2N4 show significant differences from those described previously, while [24]py2N4 has not been studied before and [26]py2N4 is a new compound. Mononuclear and dinuclear complexes of the divalent metal ions studied with [22]- to [26]-py2N4 were found in solution. The stability constants for the ML complexes of the three ligands follow the Irving-Williams order: NiL2+ < CuL2+ > ZnL2+ > PbL2+, however for the dinuclear complexes the values for Pb2+ complexes are higher than the corresponding values for the Ni2+ and the Zn2+ complexes. The X-ray single crystal structures of the supramolecular aggregates [Cu2([20]py2N4)(H2O)4][Cu(H2O)6](SO4)3 x 3H2O and [Cu(2)([20]py(2)N4)(CH3CN)4][Ni([20]py2N4)]2(ClO4)8 x H2O, which are composed of homodinuclear [Cu2([20]py2N4])(H2O)4]4+ and [Cu2([20]py2N4])(CH3CN))4]4+, and mononuclear species, [Cu(H2O)6]2+ and [Ni([20]py2N4)]2+, respectively, assembled by an extensive network of hydrogen bonds, are also reported. In both homodinuclear complexes the copper centres are located at the end of the macrocycle and display distorted square pyramidal coordination environments with the basal plane defined by three consecutive nitrogen donors and one solvent molecule, water in and acetonitrile in . The macrocycle adopts a concertina-type conformation leading to the formation of macrocyclic cavities with the two copper centres separated by intramolecular distances of 5.526(1) and 5.508(7) A in 1a and 2a, respectively. The mononuclear complex [Ni([20]py2N4])]2+ displays a distorted octahedral co-ordination environment with the macrocycle wrapping the metal centre in a helical shape. EPR spectroscopy of the copper complexes indicated the presence of mono- and dinuclear species.

Structures of bisphosphonate metal complexes: zinc and cadmium complexes of clodronate and its partial ester derivatives

Four new zinc and cadmium bisphosphonates [{NaZn(Cl2CP2O6H)(H2O)5}]n (1), [{Cd2(Cl2CP2O6)(H2O)4}.H2O]n (2), [{Zn(Cl2CP2O6Pri2)(H2O)3}.H2O]n (3), and [{Cd2(Cl2CP2O6Pri2)2(MeOH)2(H2O)2}.H2O]2 (4) have been prepared and their crystal structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Two bisphosphonate ligands were used: clodronate, (dichloromethylene)bis(phosphonate) and its symmetrical P,P'-diisopropyl ester derivative. The structure of the Zn complex 1 is three-dimensional, consisting of one-dimensional Zn-clodronate chains connected to the three-dimensional network by Na+ ions. The structure of Cd complex 2 consists of double layers, and a unique bond was found between the Cd2+ cation and a Cl atom of clodronate. Zn complex 3 consists of one-dimensional chains, but the binding of the bisphosphonate ligands is unique: in 3 the bisphosphonate ligand is only bidentate. Compound 4 is a tetramer, and hydrogen bonds hold the tetramers together, forming a layered structure.
