Synthesis,characterization and crystal structure of bis{2-methoxy-6-[(2-diethylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenolato}thiocyanatocobalt(III) perchlorate

Brown block-shaped crystals of bis{2-methoxy-6-[(2-diethylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenolato}thiocyanatocobalt(III) perchlorate, the first cobalt(III) complex derived from the Schiff base ligand HL, [Co^III(L)(HL)(NCS)].ClO₄ (HL=2-methoxy-6-[(2-diethylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol) have been obtained and characterized by elemental analysis and X-ray single crystal determination. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with unit cell dimensions a=16.087(3) ?, b=12.354(3) ?, c=16.762(3) ?, β=93.77(3)°, V=3324.1(12) ?³, Z=4, R ₁=0.0741 and wR2=0.1366. X-ray structure determination revealed that the complex consists of a [Co^III(L)(HL)(NCS)]⁺ cation and a disordered perchlorate anion. The Co atom in the cation is six-coordinate in an octahedral coordination. In the crystal structure, the perchlorate anions are linked to the cations through intermolecular C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains running along the caxis. It is the first cobalt(III) complex derived from the Schiff base ligand HL.

The silver salt contains six coordinate metal centers each of which bonds to four sulfonate O atoms from three different anions and two water molecules. The nickel salt contains octahedral cations with four water molecules and two trans sulfonate O atoms. Both structures are layered, but differently from each other and from those of the monofunctional naphthalenesulfonate salts.Unusual coordination of a sulfonate group to a transition metal and coordination of an amine group to nickel but not to cobalt or manganese have been observed in a series of metal aminonaphthalenesulfonate salts

Structures and Characterization of [Zn(n-chlorosalicylato)2(N-methylnicotinamide)2(H2O)2] (n?=?4 or 5) Ligand Isomers

Abstract  

Two ligand isomers [Zn{4-ClC₆H₃-2-(OH)COO}₂(Menia)₂(H₂O)₂] (I) and [Zn{5-ClC₆H₃-2-(OH)COO}₂(Menia)₂(H₂O)₂] (II) (Menia = N-methylnicotinamide) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The X-ray crystal structures of complexes (I) and (II) were determined. Compound (I) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P[`1] P\bar{1} with a = 8.105(1) ?, b = 10.036(2) ?, c = 10.545(2) ?, α = 109.088(9)°, β = 91.416(8)°, γ = 102.757(9)°, V = 786.2(2) ?<sup>3</sup>, Z = 1. Compound (II) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P[`1] P\bar{1} . Its cell parameters are: a = 8.133(1) ?, b = 10.119(2) ?, c = 10.428(1) ?, α = 66.44(1)°, β = 74.32(1)°, γ = 80.16(1)°, V = 755.5(2) ?³, Z = 1. The molecular structure of both isomers is monomeric. Each Zn(II) atom is hexacoordinated by three pairs of unidentate ligands in trans-positions (ZnO₄N₂). The 5-Clsal complex is somewhat less distorted than 4-Clsal complex (Cl-sal = chlorosalicylate). The structural data are compared with those found in similar [Zn(RCOO)₂(NL)₂(H₂O)₂].

The crystal structure of manganese sulfate templated by 1,4-diaza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane (abbreviated dabco), (C₆H₁₄N₂)[Mn(H₂O)₆](SO₄)₂, was investigated using single crystal X-ray diffraction data.

Abstract  

The crystal structure of the title compound C₂₂H₃₀N₄O₂·H₂O (L), has been determined using X-ray diffraction at 293 K. The crystal of 1,2-bis[4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxobutyl]benzene is in triclinic crystal system with space group P(−1) (Z = 2), lattice parameters a = 8.225(6) ?, b = 10.967(6) ?, c = 12.903(6) ?, V = 1119.1(11) ?³. Analyses of single crystals of L, crystallized from dichloromethane/diethyl ether (1:1), revealed that the molecules are arranged in couples, which adopt a pseudo chair conformation, by means of intermolecular O–H···N hydrogen bonding interactions. Moreover, the extended structure revealed a 1D chain caused by several C–H···N intermolecular interactions.     

Pseudosymmetry in Cr(urea)<Subscript>4</Subscript>(H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O)<Subscript>2</Subscript>·3NO<Subscript>3</Subscript>

Abstract  

The low temperature crystal structure of the complex, Cr(urea)₄(H₂O)₂·3NO₃ (1), displays intriguing pseudosymmetry that complicates the structure determination. 1 crystallises in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2₁/c with Z = 8 and Z′ = 2; a = 18.3338(4) ?, b = 16.5472(4) ?, c = 13.9252(3) ? and β = 106.3260(10)°, V = 4054.19(16) ?³. The two symmetry independent [Cr(urea)₄(H₂O)₂]³⁺ ions in the asymmetric unit both feature coordinated urea (O=C(NH₂)₂) and lie on general positions. A further six independent nitrate anions complete the structure. The unit cell is primitive but the two Cr³⁺ ions are related by a pseudo translation of ?, ?, 0. The deviation from a truly C-centred cell is clear from an examination of geometry of the urea ligands and the hydrogen bonds which they form. The identification of the space group in this case is described and methods for quantifying the degree of deviation from a C-centred cell discussed.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Bromo(1,10-phenanthroline- N , N ′)tris(2-cyanoethyl)phosphinocopper(I) and Bromo(2,2′-bipyridine- N , N ′)tris(2-cyanoethyl)phosphinocopper(I)

The first complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with the crystal cell parameters a = 7.7596(7) ?, b = 11.470(1) ?, c = 12.803(1) ?, α = 78.884(1)^°, β = 79.759(1)^°, γ = 86.867(1)^°, V = 1100.0(2) ?³ and Z = 2. The second complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with the crystal cell parameters a = 10.614(1) ?, b = 12.345(1) ?, c = 31.903(3) ?, V = 4180.3(7) ?³ and Z = 8. In both compounds, the copper(I) ion is four-coordinate with a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the 1,10-phenanthroline complex, an intermolecular dipole–dipole interaction between two cyano groups stabilizes an unfavorable synclinal conformation of one cyanoethyl group of the phosphine ligand.
