The phen in adjacent Fe(phen)₃ ²⁺ cations are π–π interacted forming offset face to face (OFF) motifs. Juxtaposition of four phen ligands from two cations encapsulate an R₂ ²(8) dimeric unit of H-bonded PHBH molecules within a centrosymmetric box froming a filled aryl box motif (FAB). Alternation of OFF and FAB motifs form {OFF⋯FAB}∞ strands. The Fe(phen)₃ ²⁺ cation engages its phen ligands in π–π and/or CH–π interactions with two crystalographically different PHBH molecules and one PHB anion. Seven water molecules and a chloride anion per iron(II) trisphenanthroline cation fill empty spaces in the structure forming a hydrophilic cluster. Extensive intermolecular H-bond interactions occur between water molecules, chloride anions, PHBH molecules, and PHB anions. Thermal analysis of (1) was done under N_2(g). The TG, and dTG curves revealed the expected mass losses. All associated processes are endothermic as shown in the DSC curve.

Abstract The crystal structure of 4,4′-bipyridin-1-ium perchlorate dihydrate, [C₁₀H₉N₂](ClO₄) · 2H₂O, is determined by room temperature X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 8.122(3) ?, b = 9.726(3) ?, c = 17.648(6) ?, α = 78.181(4)°, β = 82.797(5)°, γ = 67.439(4)°, Z = 2, V = 1258.4(7) ?³. In the compound, monoprotonated 4,4′-bipyridin-1-ium cations are self-assembled into supramolecular chains along the a-axis through N–H···N hydrogen bonds in a head-to-tail fashion. The chains are stacked via π–π stacking interactions to create two-dimensional sheets. The interlayer space is occupied by the hydrogen-bonded water chains that are linked to the organic sheets via C–H···O interactions and the perchlorate anions that are linked to the water chains and the organic sheets via O–H···O and C–H···O hydrogen bonds, respectively, thus generating a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.

Supramolecular Cobalt(II), Copper(II) and Cadmium(II) Complexes Obtained from a Proton Transfer Compound including Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate and Propane-1,3-diaminium Ions; Synthesis,Characterization and Crystal Structure

Abstract The three complexes (pnH₂)[Co(pydc)₂]·4H₂O 1, (pnH₂)[Cu(pydc)₂]·4H₂O 2, and (pnH₂)[Cd(pydc)₂]·3.5H₂O 3 (pn: propane-1,3-diamine, pydc: pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate) were prepared using a proton transfer compound (pnH₂)(pydc)·(pydcH₂)·2.5H₂O, LH ₂ and corresponding metallic salts. The characterization was carried out using elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 crystallize in space group P , but complex 3 crystallizes in space group P2/c. Cell parameters of the complexes are a = 8.449(1) ?, b = 11.668(1) ?, c = 12.801(1) ?, α = 115.748(2)°, β = 93.038(2)°, γ = 97.867(2)° for 1; a = 7.973(2) ?, b = 16.632(2) ?, c = 25.280(5) ?, α = 94.178(6)°, β = 95.186(6)°, γ = 91.603(5)° for 2 and a = 20.055(1) ?, b = 13.8161(9) ?, c = 8.2418(5) ?, β = 100.086(1)° for 3. The three crystal structures illustrate that the metal ion is six-coordinated by two pydc’s. In structures of 2 and 3, it can be seen that propane-1,3-diaminium fragments have different conformations. The complexes have ion-pairing interactions, O–H···O, N–H···O and C–H···O hydrogen bonds, π–π stacking as well as van der Waals forces as the main factors in formation of their supramolecular structures.
