Transition metal(II) complexes of a biological buffer. Structural and spectroscopic study on Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) complexes of N-[2-hydroxy-1,1-bis-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl]glycine

The structural and spectroscopic properties of complexes of N-[2-hydroxy-1,1-bis-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl]glycine (thmmg) with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) were investigated. The complex [Zn(thmmg)₂] crystallizes in the space groupP2₁/n, witha=8.796(2),b=9.050(3),c=9.926(2) Å,=97.35(1)° andZ=2; the copper(II) homolog is isomorphous. The complex [Ni(thmmg)₂]·6H₂O crystallizes in the space groupP2₁/n witha=8.432(8),b=8.495(2),c=15.967(1) Å,=95.57(2)° andZ=2; the cobalt(II) homolog is isomorphous. Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes show an elongated octahedral coordination arising from two symmetry related amino acid molecules acting as a tridentate chelate through the amino nitrogen, one carboxylate oxygen, and one hydroxyl oxygen; the water molecules in the Ni(II) complex are not involved in metal coordination. The same ligand bonding mode may be suggested also for the Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes, while for Cd(II) only the nitrogen atom and the carboxylate oxygens seem to be involved in metal coordination.     

The molecular structure of acetato[2-(pyridin-2′-yl)phenyl]mercury(II)

The crystal structure of the title compound was determined by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system witha=8.152(4),b=17.994(7),c=8.634(9) Å, =108.92(5)°, space group P2₁/c (N:14),V=1198.02 ų,Z=4. The mercuryl(II) atom forms two strong, almost colinear bonds (bond angle 176.1(4)°) with a carbon of the phenyl ring (Hg–C=1.99(1) Å) and one of the acetate oxygen atoms (Hg–O(1)=2.005(7) Å). These primary bonds are supplemented by secondary intramolecular interactions with the pyridine nitrogen (Hg...N=2.727(9) Å) and the other acetate oxygen (Hg...O(2)=2.925(8) Å), although the latter is very weak and the acetate anion therefore practically monodentate. Weak additional intermolecular Hg–C and Hg–O(1)interactions contribute to the lattice structure.

Compound I crystallizes in the space groupP2₁/c withZ=4,a=5.889(5),b=30.755(10),c=10.815(3) Å,=92.95(6)°. Compound II crystallizes in the space groupP2₁/n withZ=4,a=10.235(2),b=10.144(1),c=18.346(2) Å,=92.00(1)°. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares, from room-temperature data obtained with an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer, to conventionalR factors of 0.041 for I and 0.048 for II.In both isomers the dioxin ring has an approximate envelope conformation with a pseudoequatorial –CC1₂·CHCl·CH₃ group in the 2-position and a pseudoaxial –CCl₂·CHCl·CH₃ group in the 4-position.

X-ray crystal structures of twocis-Mo(CO)4{(Ph2PO)2P(O)R} (R=Me,MeO-p-C6H4) complexes with unusual Mo-PPh2-O-P(O)R-O-PPh2 chelate rings

The X-ray crystal structures of twocis-Mo(CO)₄{(Ph₂PO)₂P(O)R} (I:R=Me; II: R=C₆H₄-p-OMe) complexes are presented. Complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/n (a=11.566(1),b=10.045(2),c=25.959(4)Å;=97.64(1)°;V=2989.0 ų;Z=4). Complex II crystallizes in the triclinic space group P¯1 (a=8.868(2),b=11.552(2),c=16.818(3)Å,=78.32(1)°,=93.70(2)°, =86.59(2)°,V=1679.0 ų,Z=2). The coordination geometry of the molybdenum in each of these complexes is a slightly distorted octahedron. The six-membered chelate rings in these complexes have twist boat configurations with both ends flattened. The two rings differ in the degree of twisting in the boat and in the degree to which both ends of the boat are distorted from the ideal configurations. The twisting is greater in II, but the distortion is greater in I. Both appear to be due to the differing sizes of the substituent on the phosphonate phosphorus with larger substituents giving less twisting and flattening.
