The results showed that although the ligands are different from one another in the shape and the numbers of coordination atoms, they all have nine-coordinate structures. However, one of them has binuclear structure and the other two have mononuclear structures because of the difference of the ligands.

New 1D and 2D metal oxygen connectivities in Cu(II) succinato and glutarato coordination polymers: [Cu3(H2O)2(OH)2(C4H4O4)2] · 4H2O, [Cu4(H2O)2(OH)4(C4H4O4)2] · 5H2O and [Cu5(OH)6(C5H6O4)2] · 4H2O

Two Cu(II) hydroxo succinates [Cu₃(H₂O)₂(OH)₂(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Cu₄(H₂O)₂(OH)₄(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?5H₂O (2) and one Cu(II) hydroxo glutarate [Cu₅(OH)₆(C₅H₆O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (3) have been prepared and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. They feature 1D and 2D copper oxygen connectivity of elongated {CuO₆} octahedra in “4?+?1?+?1” and “4?+?2” coordination geometries. Within 1, linear trimers of three edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra are connected into copper oxygen chains, which are bridged by the anti conformational succinate anions to generate 2D layers with mono terminally coordinating gauche succinate anions on both sides. The layers are assembled into a 3D framework by interlayer hydrogen bonds with lattice H₂O molecules distributed in channels. Different from 1, the principal building units in 2 are linear tetramers of four edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra. The tetramers are condensed into copper oxygen chains and the succinate anions interlink them into a 3D framework with triangular channels filled by lattice H₂O molecules. The {CuO₆} octahedra in 3 are edge-shared to form unprecedented 2D inorganic layers with mono terminally coordinating glutarate anions on both sides. Interlayer hydrogen bonding interactions are responsible for supramolecular assembly of the layers into a 3D framework with lattice H₂O molecules in the channels. The inorganic layers in 3 can be described as hexagonal close packing of oxygen atoms with the Cu atoms in the octahedral cavities. The title compounds were further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermal analyses.

Reactions of ZrOCl2·8H2O with carboxylic acids and thionyl chloride: crystal and molecular structures of K4[Zr(mal)4]·2H2O and K4[Zr(dipic)3]2·13.5H2O

Reactions of ZrOCl₂·8H₂O in aqueous solution with a carboxylic acid in the presence of K₂CO₃ have been studied as a route to Zr^IV-carboxylates. With malonic acid (HO₂CCH₂CO₂H) (H₂mal) the product has been identified as K₄[Zr(mal)₄]·2H₂O (1) by X-ray crystallography. The individual eight-coordinate zirconium anions contain four bidentate (OO) malonate anions with the metal geometry approximating to a square antiprism with each chelating ligand spanning the two square faces, Zr—O 2.091(3)–2.288(3) Å. The four potassium cations feature irregular coordination spheres of oxygen atoms [from both H₂O and (mal) ligand molecules] with a 7–9 coordination range. With 2,6-dicarboxypicolinicacid (HO₂CC₅NH₃CO₂H) (H₂dipic) the product has been characterised as K₄[Zr(dipic)₃]₂·13.5H₂O (2) following X-ray diffraction studies. The structure consists of two [Zr(dipic)₃]^2- anions, four potassium cations and lattice solvate (H₂O) molecules. Individual anions feature nine-coordinate zirconium in which each dipic ligand is terdentate, being bonded via one N (pyridine) and two O (carboxylate) atoms. The metal geometry approximates to tricapped trigonal prismatic with each nitrogen atom capping a regular face of four oxygen atoms, Zr—O, 2.216(6)–2.261(6) Å; Zr—N, 2.343(8)–2.361(7) Å. The potassium cations show similar environments to those observed in structure (1). Dehydration of ZrOCl₂·8H₂O using SOCl₂ in the presence of an excess of THF effects removal of coordinated H₂O molecules and hydroxy bridging groups to provide the anhydrous bis-adduct ZrCl₄(thf)₂ in good yield (72%).     

Synthesis, crystal structure, and thermal stability of [Mo2O4(μ2-O)(C6H4O2)2(H2O)] · (C8H9N2)2 · 2H2O

Interestingly, an in situ condensation between acetic acid and benzene-1,2-diamine has occurred, and the unexpected 2-methyl-1-H-benzo[d] imidazoles serve as counterions and N-H donors to form stable hydrogen-bond network in the crystal. Furthermore, intermolecular hydrogen bonds are found among the cations, anions and crystalline water molecules. The double nuclear molybdenum units are connected by O-H...O hydrogen bonds with the crystalline water molecules to form one-dimensional chains, and the chains are further joined together by N-H...O to form a quasi-two dimensional structure.

Extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions are involved in water molecules, ligated sulfate anions and fumaric acid molecules. In addition, π-π interactions via aromatic nitrogen-containing ligands are also discussed. The combination of non-covalent interactions leads to the formation of a 3-D network structure.
