Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Two Metal Complexes Formed in the Solvothermal Decomposition Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Carboxyphenylenesulfonyl-S-Carboxymethyl-<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-Cysteine

Abstract  

The reactions of a new compound of N-Carboxyphenylenesulfonyl-S-Carboxymethyl-l-Cysteine (Cs-cmc) with Zn(II) or Co(II) salts in the presence of 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) led to the decomposition of Cs-cmc and produced [Zn(4,4′-bipy)(H₂O)₄]X₂ (X = p-sulfamoylbenzoate) 1 and [Co(4,4′-bipy)(H₂O)₄]Y·H₂O (Y = p-sulfonatobenzoate) 2, in which the decomposition products of Cs-cmc exist as free counter-anions. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic C2/c space group with a = 18.748(4) ?, b = 11.520(2) ?, c = 12.751(3) ?, β = 90.290(4)°, V = 2753.9(10) ?, Z = 4 and compound 2 crystallizes in orthorhombic Pca2₁ space group with a = 12.114(3) ?, b = 11.369(2) ?, c = 14.770(3) ?, V = 2034.1(7) ?, Z = 4. It was revealed that 1D chains were constructed from metal ions and 4,4′-bipy in both compounds. The 1D chains interact with the counter-anions by hydrogen bonds, forming 3D supramolecular structures.     

Structural Modulation in Lanthanide Tetracyanoplatinates Incorporating Terpyridine: Synthesis and Structures of Four Distinct One-Dimensional Variants

Abstract  

The synthesis of four different lanthanide tetracyanoplatinates all incorporating 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine have been carried out in acetonitrile/water mixtures by reaction of an appropriate Ln³⁺ salt with 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine and potassium tetracyanoplatinate. The use of different Ln³⁺ salts as reactants results in the isolation of {La(tpy)(H₂O)₃}₂[Pt(CN)₄]₃·2CH₃CN·2H₂O (La-1) space group P[`1] P\bar{1} , a = 9.3862(15) ?, b = 12.186(1) ?, c = 13.493(1) ?, α = 88.082(7)°, β = 80.22(1)°, γ = 74.88(1)°, {Pr(tpy)(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>3</sub>}<sub>2</sub>[Pt(CN)<sub>4</sub>]<sub>3</sub>·2H<sub>2</sub>O (Pr-2) space group P[`1] P\bar{1} , a = 9.2458(15) ?, b = 10.8068(9) ?, c = 13.6178(14) ?, α = 84.554(8)°, β = 74.905(10)°, γ = 79.490(9)°, Ho(tpy)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)[Pt(CN)₄] · CH₃CN (Ho-3) space group P2₁/c, a = 12.867(1) ?, b = 15.1046(15) ?, c = 13.651(4) ?, β = 105.39(1)°, or Yb(tpy)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)[Pt(CN)₄]·0.5CH₃CN·1.5H₂O (Yb-4) space group Pbcn, a = 13.226(7) ?, b = 15.870(2) ?, c = 24.276(3) ? under quite similar reaction conditions. All four of these compounds have been isolated as single crystals and X-ray diffraction has been used to investigate their structural features. None of these compounds are isostructural with one another, but all contain one-dimensional, polymeric structures that contain tris chelation of the Ln³⁺ cations by terpyridine and bridging of the Ln³⁺ ions by tetracyanoplatinate. La-1 and Pr-2 contain both cis- and trans-bridging of Ln³⁺ cations by tetracyanoplatinate resulting in double chains with a ladder-type structure. Ho-3 and Yb-4 are similar in that they contain chelation of Ln³⁺ by both terpyridine and a nitrate anion and both structure types only contain cis-bridging by tetracyanoplatinate. All four structures contain Pt–Pt interactions in the form of dimeric units.

Abstract  

Assembly of orotic acid (2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid, H₃dtpc) and Cd(OAc)₂·2H₂O gave rise to two complexes [Cd₂(H₂dtpc)₂(H₂O)₆] (I) and [Cd(H₂dtpc)(bpy)(H₂O)]_n (II) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine). Complex (I) and (II) have been characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction, IR, PXRD, TGA and fluorescence spectra. Structural analyses reveal that (I) is a binuclear structure, and complex (II) possesses a one-dimensional infinite zig-zag chain architecture and the chains are further assembled into 2D supramolecular network by strong hydrogen bonding interactions.

Hydrogen-Bonded Molecular Ladders and Interlaced Networks in Complexes Built of V-Shaped Molecules 4,4′-Isopropylidenediphenol or 4,4′-Oxydibenzoic Acid with 4,4′-Bipyridine

Abstract  

The title compounds, C₁₀H₈N₂·C₁₅H₁₆O₂ (1) and C₁₀H₈N₂·C₁₄H₁₀O₅ (2), were synthesized by 4,4′-bipyridyl and two similar V-shaped molecules. The two complexes both crystallized in the same space group P2₁/n with the crystal cell parameters: a = 16.0536(3) ?, b = 6.42730(1) ?, c = 21.2717(4) ?, β = 102.330°, V = 2144.21(7) ?³, Z = 4 in compound 1 and a = 7.45020(10) ?, b = 10.0784(2) ?, c = 26.9430(5) ?, β = 92.1140(10)°, V = 2021.67(6) ?³, Z = 4 in compound 2. Compound 1 forms regular molecular chains containing alternative 4,4′-bipyridyl and 4,4′-isopropylidenediphenol units; the molecular components are linked by two types of O–H···N hydrogen bonds. Additionally, every two neighboring chains are connected to be a ladder structure by means of weak C–H···O interactions. In compound 2, 4,4′-bipyridyl and 4,4′-oxydibenzoic acid first construct one-dimensional architecture by strong O–H···N hydrogen bonds, which are similar with the interactions in compound 1. Secondly, two types of weak C–H···O contacts formed between 4,4′-bipyridyl and the acid link one-dimensional chains to be interlaced three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networks.

Abstract  Based on the reaction between Cp₂TiCl₂ and substituted salicylic acids in the presence of β-cyclodextrin polymer (β-CDP), three four-coordinated titanocene complexes [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Ti(S,O′)(OCC₆H₄)·(C₆H₆)_0.5] (1), [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Ti{(O,O′)(3,5-Cl₂-OCC₆H₂)}] (2) and [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Ti{(O,O′)(3,5-(NO₂)₂-OCC₆H₂)}] (3) were synthesized in high yields and their crystal structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 1 has a Monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 8.313(3) ?, b = 9.960(4) ?, c = 22.330(8) ?, β = 111.856(11)° and Z = 4. The structure of 2 has a Monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 8.0577(13) ?, b = 8.9022(14) ?, c = 21.977(4) ?, β = 96.298(3)° and Z = 4. The structure of 3 has a Triclinic space group P-1 with a = 8.1687(11) ?, b = 8.3027(11) ?, c = 12.7164(17) ?, α = 102.930(2)°, β = 100.479(2)°, γ = 95.458(2)° and Z = 2. Each of the complexes exhibits a three-dimensional framework constructed through weak interactions, which are hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking and C–H···π interactions. It was found that the variation of the substituted salicylate ligands affect the weak interactions as well as the specific framework structure that forms.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure Determination of Methyl 2-acetyl-5′-phenyl-2H-spiro[benzo[d]isothiazole-3,3′-pyrazole]-1,1-dioxide-2′(4′H)-carboxylate and Methyl 2-acetyl-5′-(2-thienyl)-2H-spiro[benzo[d]isothiazole-3,3′-pyrazole]-1,1-dioxide-2′(4′H)-carboxylate

Abstract  

Dilithiated C(α), N-carbomethoxyhydrazones were condensed with lithiated methyl 2-(aminosulfonyl)benzoate to afford intermediates that were isolated and not characterized but cyclized with acetic anhydride, which also resulted in N-acetylation. The X-ray crystal structure determinations of methyl 2-acetyl-5′-phenyl-2H-spiro[benzo[d]isothiazole-3,3′-pyrazole]-1,1-dioxide-2′(4′H)-carboxylate and methyl 2-acetyl-5′-(2-thienyl)-2H-spiro[benzo[d]isothiazole-3,3′-pyrazole]-1,1-dioxide-2′(4′H)-carboxylate products were a follow up for absorption spectra, and they confirmed their structures. Mechanistic intermediates to describe the reaction may include C-acylated intermediates that cyclize to spiro(N-benzoisothiazole dioxide-pyrazole) instead of N-carbomethoxypyrazole-ortho-benzenesulfonamides. Crystals of C₁₉H₁₇N₃O₅S 7 are monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 11.899(2) ?, b = 17.562(4) ?, c = 9.484(2) ?, β = 111.03(3)°, Z = 4, V = 1849.9(6) ?³, R ₁ = 0.0857 and wR ₂ = 0.2216 for reflections with I > 2σ(I); crystals of C₁₇H₁₅N₃O₅S₂ 8 are orthorhombic, Pbca, a = 16.045(3) ?, b = 10.746(2) ?, c = 20.389(4) ?, Z = 8, V = 3516(1) ?³, R ₁ = 0.0841 and wR ₂ = 0.2179 for all reflections with I > 2σ(I).

Photolysis in THF at 254 nm led to the unexpected product 2,2′,3,3′-tetraphenyl-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol. All structures were elucidated by X-ray crystallography.

Influence of a Halide Ion on Ribbons of Water Pentamer

Abstract  Reactions of CuF₂, CuCl₂ · 2H₂O and CuBr₂ with 2,2′-dipyridylamine (HDPA) in water at room temperature using Cu:HDPA = 2:1 mol yield [Cu(HDPA)(H₂O)₂F]F · 3H₂O (1), Cu(HDPA)Cl₂ (2) and Cu(HDPA)Br₂ (3) respectively. The structures of 2 and 3 are isostructural in spacegroup C2 with cell dimensions; for 2, a = 14.702(8), b = 7.726(2), c = 4.829(6) ?, β = 96.68(8)° and for 3, a = 14.2934(8), b = 7.9057(6), c = 5.1982(5) ?, β = 94.049(7)°. In the X-ray crystal structure, the complex 1 is found to contain tapes of water pentamers. Our DFT calculations at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ level show that the reaction Cu(HDPA)X₂ + 2H₂O = [Cu(HDPA)(H₂O)₂X]X is most exothermic in the gas phase when X⁻ = F⁻, i.e., the tendency of water uptake is maximum for Cu(HDPA)F₂. It seems that the exothermicities of the aquations of Cu(HDPA)Cl₂ and Cu(HDPA)Br₂ are not sufficient to stabilise the type of ribbons of water observed in 1 and consequently water is eschewed when X⁻ = Cl⁻ or Br⁻. Graphical Abstract  Cu(2,2′-dipyridylamine)X₂ takes up water to produce ribbons of water pentamer, as shown in the accompanied picture (red: O atom of a solvent water molecule), only when X⁻ is F⁻ but not when it Cl⁻ or Br⁻. The results are rationalised by means of DFT calculations at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ level.

Complex 1 is constructed from sinusoidal {VO₃}_n ⁿ⁻ chains with {Zn(dpa)}²⁺ fragments spanning the adjacent troughs and crests into an 1D ribbon-like structure. Complex 2 is built up by linking {VO₃}_n ⁿ⁻ chains via pairs of symmetrical {Cu(dpa)}²⁺ fragments into a 2D layered structure. The Zn(II) and Cu(II) ions exhibit tetrahedral and square pyramidal coordination environments, respectively. The formation of the two isomers is attributed to the flexibility of {VO₃}_n ⁿ⁻ chains and the different coordination configurations of the two metal ions. There exist significant π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions in complexes 1 and 2.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a 3D Er(III) Coordination Polymer Based on Tripodal Flexible Ligand

Abstract  

Solvothermal reaction of Er(NO₃)₃·6H₂O and tri(2-carboxyethyl)isocyanurate (H₃tci) in DMF/H₂O (DMF = dimethylformamide) medium leads to the generation of one new 3D coordination polymer, [Er(tci)(H₂O)] DMF·2H₂O (1), which was characterized by the elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 1 crystallizes in triclinic space group P-1, features an interesting 3D coordination framework constructed from the flexible tridentate ligand H₃tci. Unit cell parameters for 1: a = 7.853(2) ?, b = 12.186(3) ?, c = 13.222(2) ?, α = 112.156(14)°, β = 105.457(15)°, γ = 91.541(18)° and Z = 2.     

Crystal Structure and Thermal Studies of Ruthenium(II) Bisimidazolylterpyridine Hexafluorophosphate Complex

Abstract  

A hexafluorophosphate salt of ruthenium(II) bis(4′-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) complex was synthesized. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2₁/c with unit cell parameters, a = 18.5878(15) ?, b = 15.9546(11) ?, c = 16.1418(12) ?, β = 106.721(3)°, V = 4584.6(6) ?³ and Z = 4. The bond lengths, bond angles and torsional angles of hexafluorophosphate salt of the [Ru(itpy)₂]²⁺ cation show significant change from the nitrate salt of the same cation. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry confirm the loss of solvents of crystallization between 100 and 200 °C.     

A New Actinide Bis(Ketimide) Platform for the Construction of Multimetallic Complexes: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (C5Me5)2Th[-N=C(C6H5)(2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine)]2

Abstract  

The title compound (C₅Me₅)₂Th[-N=C(Ph)(tpy)]₂ (1) (Ph=C₆H₅, tpy=2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) was synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. This system represents the first example of an actinide complex featuring ketimide ligands with both a phenyl group and a terpyridyl group. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with unit cell parameters a = 10.7037(6) ?, b = 32.0735(16) ?, c = 34.6506(18) ?, β = 90.127(3)°, V = 11895.7(11) ?³, Z = 8, D _calc = 1.406 Mg/m³. The thorium(IV) complex adopts a pseudo-tetrahedral geometry, with the two ketimide ligands occupying the plane bisecting the metallocene unit. Structural comparisons of the title complex are made with related metallocene thorium(IV) bis(ketimide) derivatives.     

Structural Investigation of Metal-Organic Cu(II) Coordination Frameworks Constructed from N-donor and α, ω-Dicarboxylate Ligands by One Pot Synthesis: Zigzag Strands,Layered Networks and Its Interaction with Lattice Water Molecules

Abstract  

Two metal organic frameworks involving α, ω-dicarboxylates and 2,2′-bpy, [Cu(2,2Bpy)(μ-adipate-H2)] _n ·2·H₂O 1 and [Cu₂ (2,2′-bpy)₂(μ-adipate-H)₂(μ-adipate-H2)]·3H₂O 2 have been synthesized by one pot reaction and structurally characterized. Pentacoordinated Cu(II) zigzag polymeric chain of 1 is composed of linking the adjacent Cu(2,2′-bpy)(H₂O) units through terminal craboxylate oxygens of two different adipate dianion in cis coordination pattern with the metal center. Both the Complexes were crystallized in triclinic system, P-1 space group with cell parameters a = 6.8948(5), b = 10.7098(7), c = 12.4332(8) ?; α = 82.1120(10), β = 80.4950(10), γ = 72.9560(10)°, V = 861.87(10) ?³ for 1, a = 9.5058(6), b = 9.9341(7), c = 12.6460(8) ?; α = 70.5080(10), β = 73.5740(10), γ = 75.0720(10)°, V = 1062.05(12) ?³ for 2 respectively. Extensive hydrogen bonding interaction is observed between the lattice water molecules and the coordination network. Compound 2 is a layered architecture, where the neutral framework is constructed by two different adipate anions (in monoanionic and dianionic form) coordinating to the metal center. Interestingly, three water molecules present in the lattice of compound 2 are involved in hydrogen bonding network among themselves, creating a centro-symmetric hexameric water cluster composed of a tetracyclic ring with dangling water molecules attached at alternate positions of the rectangle, which interact with the carboxylate oxygen, thereby extending the hydrogen bonded water network.
