Iodo­(picolinato‐κ2N,O)(picolinic acid‐κ2N,O)mercury(II)

The title compound, [Hg(C₆H₄NO₂)I(C₆H₅NO₂)], has twofold symmetry along the Hg—I bond. The Hg^II ion coordinates one I atom [at 2.6045 (4) Å], two N and two O atoms [at 2.298 (3) and 2.481 (2) Å] from one picolinate ion, and one picolinic acid mol­ecule in a very irregular trigonal–bipyramidal coordination. The single hydr­oxy H atom required for chemical neutrality is both statistically (by crystal symmetry) and structurally disordered, and is involved in an inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [O⋯O = 2.455 (4) Å], connecting the mol­ecules into one‐dimensional infinite chains along the [101] direction.     

Di‐μ‐acesulfamato‐κ3N,O:O;κ3O:N,O‐bis[(acesulfamato‐κ2N,O)bis(3‐methylpyridine)cadmium(II)]

In the structure of the title compound, [Cd₂(C₄H₄NO₄S)₂(C₆H₇N)₂], the dinuclear Cd^II complex is located on a twofold axis with two Cd²⁺ ions bridged by two oxide O atoms. Each Cd²⁺ ion is additionally coordinated in an equatorial plane by two N and three O atoms of the acesulfamate ligands and axially by two N atoms of the 3‐methylpyridine ligands, resulting in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination. We present here an example of a supramolecular assembly based on hydrogen bonds in a mixed‐ligand metal complex; intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds give rise to R₄⁴(40) rings, which lead to one‐dimensional chains.     

Aqua(dipicolinato‐κ3O2,N,O6)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)manganese(II) monohydrate

In the title compound [systematic name: aqua(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)(pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxyl­ato‐κ³O²,N,O⁶)manganese(II) monohydrate, [Mn(C₇H₃NO₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·H₂O, the manganese(II) centre is surrounded by one bidentate phenanthroline ligand [Mn—N = 2.248 (3) and 2.278 (3) Å], one tridentate dipicolinate ligand [Mn—N = 2.179 (3) Å, and Mn—O = 2.237 (2) and 2.266 (2) Å] and one water mol­ecule [Mn—O = 2.117 (3) Å], and it exhibits a strongly distorted octahedral geometry, with trans angles ranging from 144.12 (9) to 158.88 (11)°. Extensive intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving coordinated and uncoordinated water mol­ecules and the carboxyl O atoms of the dipicolinate ligand, as well as a stacking interaction involving the phenanthroline rings, are observed in the crystal structure.     

A novel titanium–μ‐O–zirconium complex: bis(μ‐methyliminodiethanolato‐1κ3O,N,O′;1:2κ2O)(methyliminodiethanolato‐2κ3O,N,O′)dipropanolato‐1κO,2κO‐titanium(IV)zirconium(IV)

The title compound, [TiZr(C₅H₁₁NO₂)₃(C₃H₇O)₂], contains three methyl­imino­diethano­late ligands, two in different μ‐oxo bridging coordination modes and one bound only to the Ti atom. The Ti and Zr atoms have distorted octahedral and pentagonal–bipyramidal coordinations, respectively, which share edges. As well as some conformational disorder in the carbon chains, there is chemical disorder at one Ti site, with a mix of n‐ and isopropanolate ligands.     

(Nitrato‐κO)bis(pyridine‐2‐carboxamide‐κ2N1,O)mercury(II) nitrate

In the title compound, [Hg(NO₃)(C₆H₆N₂O)₂]NO₃, the Hg^II atom is five‐coordinate. The distorted square‐pyramidal mercury(II) coordination environment is achieved by two N,O‐bidentate picolinamide ligands, with one O‐monodentate nitrate ion in the apical position. A seven‐coordinate extended coordination environment is completed by two additional weak Hg...O interactions, one from the coordinated nitrate ion and one from the other nitrate ion, to give seven‐coordination. The molecules are linked into a two‐dimensional network by N—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

A novel dinuclear bismuth(III) coordination compound: bis(μ‐pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylato)‐κ4O2,N,O6:O6′;κ4O2:O2′,N,O6‐bis[(azido‐κN)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)bismuth(III)] tetrahydrate

A novel dinuclear bismuth(III) coordination compound, [Bi₂(C₇H₃NO₄)₂(N₃)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·4H₂O, has been synthesized by an ionothermal method and characterized by elemental analysis, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, IR, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The molecular structure consists of one centrosymmetric dinuclear neutral fragment and four water molecules. Within the dinuclear fragment, each Bi^III centre is seven‐coordinated by three O atoms and four N atoms. The coordination geometry of each Bi^III atom is distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal (BiO₃N₄), with one azide N atom and one bridging carboxylate O atom located in axial positions. The carboxylate O atoms and water molecules are assembled via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of a three‐dimensional supramolecular structure. Two types of π–π stacking interactions are found, with centroid‐to‐centroid distances of 3.461 (4) and 3.641 (4) Å.     

Bis(acesulfamato‐κ2N3,O4)bis­(2‐amino­pyrimidine‐κN1)copper(II)

In the crystal structure of the title compound, bis­(2‐amino­pyrimidine‐κN¹)bis­[6‐meth­yl‐1,2,3‐oxathia­zin‐4(3H)‐one 2,2‐dioxide(1−)‐κ²N³,O⁴]copper(II), [Cu(C₄H₄NO₄S)₂(C₄H₅N₃)₂], the first mixed‐ligand complex of acesulfame, the Cu^II centre resides on a centre of symmetry and has an octa­hedral geometry that is distorted both by the presence of four‐membered chelate rings and by the Jahn–Teller effect. The equatorial plane is formed by the N atoms of two amino­pyrimidine (ampym) ligands and by the weakly basic carbonyl O atoms of the acesulfamate ligands, while the more basic deprotonated N atoms of these ligands are in the elongated axial positions with a strong misdirected valence. The crystal is stabilized by pyrimidine ring stacking and by inter­molecular hydrogen bonding involving the NH₂ moiety of the ampym ligand and the carbon­yl O atom of the acesulfamate moiety.     

Bis(glycinato‐κ2N,O)dinitrosylmolybdenum(0) and bis(2‐aminoethanethiolato‐κ2N,S)dinitrosylmolybdenum(0) acetonitrile monosolvate

The title compounds, [Mo(C₂H₄NO₂)₂(NO)₂], (I), and [Mo(C₂H₆NS)₂(NO)₂]·CH₃CN, (II), contain distorted octahedral complexes in which the monoanionic N,S‐ and N,O‐bidentate ligands coordinate the molybdenum centres in different modes. The anionic O atoms of the glycinate ligands in (I) are coordinated trans to the nitrosyl ligands and the amine N atoms are located trans to each other, whereas in (II) the anionic S atoms are coordinated trans to each other and the amine N atoms are located trans to the nitrosyl ligands. Each compound has a single complete complex in the asymmetric unit on a general position. Six N—H...O contacts with N...O distances of less than 3.2 Å are observed in (I) between the amine groups and the nitrosyl and carboxylate O atoms. In the 1:1 solvate (II), the acetonitrile molecule forms short N—H...N contacts (N...N < 3.2 Å) between the solvent N atoms and one of the amine H atoms. In addition, three weak intermolecular N—H...S interactions (N...S > 3.3 Å) contribute to the stabilization of the structure of (II).
