Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Binuclear Complex [Pr2(C10H8N2O4)2(C10H9N2O4)2(H2O)4]·3H2O·C6H6

The binuclear praseodymium(III) complex with N‐(1‐carboxyethylidene)‐salicylhydrazide (C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₄, H₂L) was prepared in H₂O‐C₂H₅OH mixed solution, and the crystal structure of [Pr₂L₂(HL)₂(H₂O)₄]·3H₂O·C₆H₆ was determined by X‐ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal complex crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P‐1, and in the structure each Pr atom is 9‐coordinated by carboxyl O and acyl O and azomethine N atoms of two tridentate ligands to form two stable five‐membered rings sharing one side in keto‐mode and two water molecules. The coordination polyhedron around Pr³⁺ was described as a monocapped square antiprism geometry. In an individual molecule, four tridentate ligands were coordinated by two negative univalent (HL) and two bivalent forms (L) respectively. Two negative univalent ligands were coordinated via μ₂‐bridging mode.     

[Mn(H2O)4(C4N2H4)][C6H4(COO)2] – Ein eindimensionales Koordinationspolymer mit kettenartigen [Mn(H2O)4(C4N2H4)]n2n+ Polykationen

[Mn(H₂O)₄(C₄N₂H₄)][C₆H₄(COO)₂] – An One‐Dimensional Coordination Polymer with Chain‐like [Mn(H₂O)₄(C₄N₂H₄)]_n²ⁿ⁺ Polycations Orthorhombic single crystals of [Mn(H₂O)₄(C₄N₂H₄)][C₆H₄(COO)₂] have been prepared in aqueous solution at room temperature. Space group Imm2 (no. 44), a = 1039.00(6) pm, b = 954.46(13) pm, c = 737.86(5) pm, V = 0.73172(12) nm³, Z = 2. Mn²⁺ is coordinated in a octahedral manner by four water molecules and two nitrogen atoms stemming from the pyrazine molecules (Mn–O 215.02(11) pm; Mn–N 228.7(4), 230.7(4) pm). Mn²⁺ and pyrazine molecules form chain‐like polycations with [Mn(H₂O)₄(C₄N₂H₄)]_n²ⁿ⁺ composition. The positive charge of the polycationic chains is compensated for by phthalate anions, which are accomodated between the chains. The phthalate anions are linked by hydrogen bonds to the polycationic chains. Thermogravimetric analysis in air revealed that the loss of water of crystallisation and pyrazine occurs in two steps between 130 and 245 °C. The resulting sample was stable up to 360 °C. Further decomposition yielded Mn₂O₃.

The discrete pentaborate anions form infinite layers by hydrogen bonds. Moreover, the two crystallographically different octahedral coppers are connected by common oxygen atom to form an infinite chain.

Properties of the silver cyclic amide Ag2(C4H4NO2)2(H2O) crystal from the periodic DFT computations

A molecular crystal of silver cyclic amide Ag₂(C₄H₄NO₂)₂(H₂O) is studied using first-principles density functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). A number of different exchange-correlation functionals are considered for a possible treatment of the system. It is found that the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) GGA exchange-correlation functionals are adequate for the Ag₂(C₄H₄NO₂)₂(H₂O) crystal. The results obtained show the possibility to reproduce rather well the geometry of at least some molecular crystals by means of the periodic solid-state calculations if the computational parameters are chosen adequately. The present work also reports the analysis of the chemical bonding in the material and gives the total and partial density of states. Our solid-state computations point out the possible magnetic properties of the molecular crystal under study.

Total cross sections for electron scattering by polyatomic molecules at 10–1000 eV: C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8 and C4H8

A model complex optical potential (composed of static, exchange, polarization and absorption terms) is employed to calculate the total (elastic and inelastic) electron-atom scattering cross sections from the corresponding atomic wave function at the Hartree-Fock level. The total cross sections (TCS) for electron scattering by their corresponding molecules (C₂H₂, C₂H₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₆, C₃H₈ and C₄H₈) are firstly obtained by the use of the additivity rule over an incident energy range of 10–1000 eV. The qualitative molecular results are compared with experimental data and other calculations wherever available, good agreement is obtained in intermediate-and high-energy region.
