Three different bonding modes of cyano groups in the coordination polymer [Cu(en)2(H2O)][Cu(en)2Ni2Cu2(CN)10]·2H2O (en is 1,2‐diaminoethane)

Partial reduction of the Cu^II ions in the aqueous system Cu^II–en–[Ni(CN)₄]^2? (1/1/1) (en is 1,2‐di­amino­ethane) yields a novel heterobimetallic mixed‐valence compound, poly­[[aqua­bis(1,2‐di­amino­ethane)copper(II)] [hexa‐μ‐cyano‐tetra­cyano­bis(1,2‐di­amino­ethane)­tricopper(I,II)­dinickel(II)] dihydrate], [Cu(C₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)][Ni₂Cu₃(CN)₁₀(C₂H₈N₂)₂]·2H₂O or [Cu(en)₂(H₂O)][Cu(en)₂Ni₂Cu₂(CN)₁₀]·2H₂O. The structure is formed by a negatively charged two‐dimensional array of the cyano complex [Cu(en)₂Ni₂Cu₂(CN)₁₀]_n^2n?, [Cu(en)₂(H₂O)]²⁺ complex cations and water mol­ecules of crystallization. These last are involved in a complicated hydrogen‐bonding system. The cyano groups act as terminal, μ₂‐bridging or μ₃‐bridging ligands.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of heteronuclear La( III )‐Cu(II ) complex { [LaCu2(NTA)2(4,4′‐bpy)(H2O)3]NO3·5H2O}n

A novel La( III )‐Cu( II ) heterometallic coordination polymer {[LaCu₂(NTA)₂(4,4′‐bpy)(H₂O)₃]NO₃·5H₂O]_n, where H₃NTA denotes nitrilotriacetic acid and 4,4′‐bpy denotes 4, 4‐bipyridine, was synthesized and characterized by IR spectrum, elemental analysis and X‐ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group Pi with cell parameters a = 1.33710(10) nm, b = 1,44530(10) nm, c =1.0949(2) nm, α = 71.905(7)°, β = 74.327(7)°, γ = 64.427(9)°, V = 1.7912(4) nm³and Z = 2. It consists of heterometallic units, in which each La( II ) ion is coordinated in a distorted monocapped square antiprism by three oxygen atoms from water molecules and six carboxyl oxygen atoms from five NTA^3? ions, and each Cu( I ) ion is coordinated by one nitrogen atom from 4,4′‐bpy and one nitrogen atom, three oxygen atoms from NTA^3?. In the title complex, La( I ) ions and Cu( II ) ions are connected by the heterometallic bridging of NTA^3?, constructing a two‐dimensional network structure along the [110]. And it is extended into an infinite three‐dimensional network structure by the formation of homometallic bridging of Cu‐4, 4′‐bpy‐Cu, exhibiting a certain inclusion ability.     

Characterization, Crystal Structure and Initial DNA Binding Interaction of Two Cu（Ⅱ） Complexes with 4,5-Diazafluoren-9-one

Two new complexes [Cu（dafo）2（en）]（ClO4）2·2H2O （en=NH2CH2CH2NH2） 1 and [Cu（dafo）2（dap）]（ClO4）2·2H2O [dap=NH2CH2CH（CH3）NH2] 2 （dafo=4,5-diazafluoren-9-one） have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV spectra. Meanwhile, the complex 1 has been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The initial DNA binding interactions of the complexes 1 and 2 have been investigated by UV spectra, emission spectra and cyclic voltammogram. Concluding the results of three methods used to measure the interaction of complexes 1 and 2 with DNA, the action mode of the two complexes with DNA is intercalation, and character of ligands and steric effect may affect the interaction of the complexes with DNA.     

Four‐ and five‐coordinate copper(II) complexes with N‐(4,4‐diphenyl‐5‐oxo‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazol‐2‐yl)glycine

The two title mononuclear compounds are four‐coordinate bis[N‐(5‐oxo‐4,4‐diphenyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazolidin‐2‐ylidene)glycinato]copper(II) dimethylformamide disolvate, [Cu(C₁₇H₁₄N₃O₃)₂]·2C₃H₇NO, (I), and five‐coordinate aquabis[N‐(5‐oxo‐4,4‐diphenyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazolidin‐2‐ylidene)glycinato]copper(II) dimethylformamide disolvate, [Cu(C₁₇H₁₄N₃O₃)₂(H₂O)]·2C₃H₇NO, (II). In (I), the Cu^II ion lies on an inversion centre with one‐half of the complex molecule in the asymmetric unit, while in (II) there are two independent ligand molecules in the asymmetric unit, with the Cu^II ion and coordinated water molecule located on a general position. In both crystal structures, the complex molecules assemble in ribbons via N—H...O hydrogen‐bond networks.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of a 1‐D Polymer, [Cu(NITpPy)2(H2TCB)(H20)]·2H2O

A novel complex [Cu(NnpPy)₂(H_lTCB)(H₁O)]·2H₂O (NITpPy = 2‐(pyrid‐4′‐yl)‐4,4,5,5‐tetramethyl‐1, 3‐dioxoimidazoline; H₂TCB = 1, 5‐dicarboxybenzene carboxylic‐2, 4‐diacid) has been synthesized and characterized by X‐ray crystallography analysis. The crystal structure consists of infinite chains of Cu‐(NITpPy)₂(H₂O) units linked by H₂TCB ligands. The complex crystallizes in triclinic system with space group PI. Crystal data: a = 1.0594(2) nm, b = 1.3830(3) nm, c = 1.5551(3) nm, a = 67.75(3)°, β = 89.83(3)°, γ = 70.54(3)°. The variable magnetic susceptibility studies lead to magnetic coupling constant values of J₁= ?11.18 cm‐¹ (Cu—Rad) and J₂ = ?4.06 cm^?1 (Cu—Cu).     

Mixed‐ligand Copper(II) Complexes with N‐isopropyl‐iminodiacetato(2‐) and C‐phenyl‐imidazole Ligands. Crystal Structures of H2iPIDA, [Cu(iPIDA)(H2ϕim)(H2O)]·3H2O and [Cu(iPIDA)(H5ϕim)]n

The crystal of the N‐isopropyl‐iminodiacetic acid ( 1 ) consists of a 3D H‐bonded framework where the zwitterion (H₂iPIDA^±) is intra‐stabilized by one N⁺‐H···O interaction and both carboxyl are half‐protonated and involved in linear O‐H···O inter‐molecular bridges of 2.46 Å. The mixed‐ligand complexes [Cu(iPIDA)(H2?im)(H₂O)]·3H₂O ( 2 ) and [Cu(iPIDA)(H5?im)]_n ( 3 ) have also been synthesized and studied by thermal, spectral, magnetic and X‐ray diffraction methods. Both complexes exhibit a square base pyramidal coordination, type 4+1. Compound 3 is the less steric hindered 'remote' isomer, with H5?im instead of H4?im.     

Zu den Kristallstrukturen der Übergangsmetall(II)‐Dodekahydro‐closo‐Dodekaborat‐Hydrate Cu(H2O)5,5[B12H12]·2,5 H2O und Zn(H2O)6[B12H12]·6 H2O

On the Crystal Structures of the Transition‐Metal(II) Dodecahydro‐closo‐Dodecaborate Hydrates Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O and Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O By neutralization of an aqueous solution of the free acid (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] with basic copper(II) carbonate or zinc carbonate, blue lath‐shaped single crystals of the octahydrate Cu[B₁₂H₁₂]·8 H₂O (≡ Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O) and colourless face‐rich single crystals of the dodecahydrate Zn[B₁₂H₁₂]·12 H₂O (≡ Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O) could be isolated after isothermic evaporation. Copper(II) dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate octahydrate crystallizes at room temperature in the monoclinic system with the non‐centrosymmetric space group Pm (Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O: a = 768.23(5), b = 1434.48(9), c = 777.31(5) pm, β = 90.894(6)°; Z = 2), whereas zinc dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate dodecahydrate crystallizes cubic in the likewise non‐centrosymmetric space group F23 (Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O: a = 1637.43(9) pm; Z = 8). The crystal structure of Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O can be described as a monoclinic distortion variant of the CsCl‐type arrangement. As characteristic feature the formation of isolated [Cu₂(H₂O)₁₁]⁴⁺ units as a condensate of two corner‐linked Jahn‐Teller distorted [Cu(H₂O)₆]²⁺ octahedra via an oxygen atom of crystal water can be considered. Since “zeolitic” water of hydratation is also present, obviously both classical H–O^δ?···^+δH–O and non‐classical B–H^δ?···^+δH–O hydrogen bonds play a significant role for the stabilization of the structure. A direct coordinative influence of the quasi‐icosahedral [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions on the Cu²⁺ cations has not been determined. The zinc compound Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O crystallizes in a NaTl‐type related structure. Two crystallographically different [Zn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ octahedra are present, which only differ in their relative orientation within the packing of the [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions. The stabilization of the crystal structure takes place mainly via H–O^δ?···^+δH–O hydrogen bonds, since again the hydrogen atoms of the [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions have no direct coordinative influence on the Zn²⁺ cations.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Cu2(H2O)2(phen)2(OH)2][Cu2(phen)2(OH)2(CO3)2] · 10 H2O with phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline

The blue copper complex [Cu₂(H₂O)₂(phen)₂(OH)₂][Cu₂(phen)₂(OH)₂(CO₃)₂] · 10 H₂O, which was prepared by reaction of 1,10‐phenanthroline monohydrate, CuCl₂ · 2 H₂O and Na₂CO₃ in the presence of succinic acid in CH3OH/H₂O at pH = 13.0, crystallized in the triclinic space group P1 (no. 2) with cell dimensions: a = 9.515(1) Å, b = 12.039(1) Å, c = 12.412(2) Å, α = 70.16(1)°, β = 85.45(1)°, γ = 81.85(1)°, V = 1323.2(2) ų, Z = 1. The crystal structure consists of dinuclear [Cu₂(H₂O)₂(phen)₂(OH)₂]²⁺ complex cations, dinuclear [Cu₂(phen)₂(OH)₂(CO₃)₂]^2– complex anions and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. In both the centrosymmetric dinuclear cation and anion, the Cu atoms are coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand, three O atoms of two μ‐OH groups and respectively one H₂O molecule or one CO₃^2– anion to complete distorted [CuN₂O₃] square‐pyramids with the H₂O molecule or the CO₃^2– anion at the apical position (equatorial d(Cu–O) = 1.939–1.961 Å, d(Cu–N) = 2.026–2.051 Å and axial d(Cu–O) = 2.194, 2.252 Å). Two adjacent [CuN₂O₃] square pyramids are condensed via two μ‐OH groups. Through the interionic hydrogen bonds, the dinuclear cations and anions are linked into 1D chains with parallel phen ligands on both sides. Interdigitation of phen ligands of neighboring 1D chains generated 2D layers, between which the hydrogen bonded water molecules are sandwiched.     

Metal Chelates of N‐(2‐pyridylmethyl)iminodiacetate(2‐) Ion (pmda). Part II. Ternary pmda Chelates with M = Co,Cu or Zn and Creatinine as Auxiliary Ligand

The compounds [Cu(pmda)(crea)]·H₂O ( 1 ), [Zn(pmda)(crea)]·H₂O ( 2 ) and [Co(pmda)(crea)(H₂O)]·H₂O ( 3 ) were prepared and characterized by thermal, spectral and X‐ray diffraction methods. In compounds 1 and 2 the M^II coordination is of type 4+1 and approaches to a trigonal bipyramid (71.85 and 86.18 %, respectively) with rather linear N(pmda)‐M^II‐N(crea) trans‐apical angles, but with different longest coordination bond (Cu‐O(pmda) or Zn‐N(apliphatic, pmda), respectively). Both compounds are isotypic and one intra‐molecular interligand N‐H···O interaction reinforces the molecular recogniton crea‐M^II(pmda) chelate. In contrast, the compound 3 exhibits an octahedral coordination, imposed by the 3d⁷ electronic configuration of the cobalt(II) atom, and the crea‐chelate recognition involves the Co‐N(crea) coordination bond and one intramolecular ‘bifurcated’ H‐bonding interaction between one N‐H(crea) bond and one O(pmda) plus the O(aqua) atoms as ‘acceptors’.     

A Novel 2‐D Copper(II) Complex with Paddlewheel‐like Building Block

By reaction of CuCl₂ with H₄btc (H₄btc = 1,2,4,5‐benzenetetracarboxylic acid) in mixed N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) and methanol solution, a new two‐dimensional (2‐D) copper(II) complex [Cu(btc)_0.5(DMF)]_n ( 1 ) based on the paddlewheel‐like [Cu₂(‐CO₂)₄(DMF)₂] building blocks has been synthesized, which is different from those previous Cu‐btc(II) coordination polymers obtained in water medium. Four carboxylate groups of (btc)^4? anion in 1 consistently exhibit bidentate bridging coordination mode, affording an unusual coordination mode of (btc)^4?. Further analysis indicates C–H···π weak interactions are the primary driving forces to assemble the 2‐D layers of 1 into a 3‐D packing structure.     

Koordinationspolymere 1, 2‐Dithiooxalato‐ und 1, 2‐Dithioquadratato‐Komplexe. Synthese und Strukturen von [BaCr2(bipy)2(1, 2‐dtox)4(H2O)2], [Ni(cyclam)(1, 2‐dtsq)]·2DMF, [Ni(cyclam)Mn(1, 2‐dtsq)2(H2O)2]·2H2O und [H3O][H5O2][Cu(cyclam)]3[Cu2(1, 2‐dtsq)3]2

Coordination Polymeric 1, 2‐Dithiooxalato and 1, 2‐Dithiosquarato Complexes. Syntheses and Structures of [BaCr₂(bipy)₂(1, 2‐dtox)₄(H₂O)₂], [Ni(cyclam)(1, 2‐dtsq)]·2DMF, [Ni(cyclam)Mn(1, 2‐dtsq)₂(H₂O)₂]·2H2₂, and [H₃O][H₅O₂][Cu(cyclam)]₃[Cu₂(1, 2‐dtsq)₃]₂ 1, 2‐Dithioxalate and 1, 2‐dithiosquarate ions have a pair of soft and hard donor centers and thus are suited for the formation of coordination polymeric complexes containing soft and hard metal ions. The structures of four compounds with building blocks containing these ligands are reported: In [BaCr₂(bipy)₂(1, 2‐dtox)₄(H₂O)₂] Barium ions and pairs of Cr(bipy)(1, 2‐dtox)₂ complexes form linear chains by the bisbidentate coordination of the dithiooxalate ligands towards Ba²⁺ and Cr³⁺. In [Ni(cyclam)(1, 2‐dtsq)]·2DMF short NÖH···O hydrogen bonds link the NiS₂N₄‐octahedra with C_2v‐symmetry to an infinite chain. In [Ni(cyclam)Mn(1, 2‐dtsq)₂(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O the 1, 2‐dithiosquarato ligand shows a rare example of S‐coordination towards manganese(II). The sulfur atoms of cis‐MnO₂S₄‐polyedra are weakly coordinated towards the axial sites of square‐planar NiN₄‐centers, thus forming a zig‐zag‐chain of Mn···Ni···Mn···Ni polyhedra. [H₃O][H₅O₂][Cu (cyclam)]₃[Cu₂(1, 2‐dtsq)₃]₂ contains square planar [Cu^II(cyclam)]²⁺ ions and dinuclear [Cu^I₂(1, 2‐dtsq)₃]^4— ions. Here each copper atom is trigonally planar coordinated by S‐donor atoms of the ligands. The Cu…Cu distance is 2.861(4)Å.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Properties of [Cu(phen)3][Cu(pheida)2]·10H2O and [(phen)2Cu(μ‐BAAP)Cu(μ‐BAAP)Cu(phen)2][Cu(BAAP)2]·8.5H2O (H2pheida = N‐phenetyl‐iminodiacetic acid,H2BAAP = N‐benzylaminoacetic‐2‐propionic acid)

The salts [Cu(phen)₃][Cu(pheida)₂]·10H₂O ( 1 ) and [(phen)₂Cu(μ‐BAAP)Cu(μ‐BAAP)Cu(phen)₂][Cu(BAAP)₂]·8.5H₂O ( 2 ) (H₂pheida = N‐phenetyl‐iminodiacetic acid, H₂BAAP = N‐benzylaminoacetic‐2‐propionic acid, phen = 1, 10‐phenanthroline) have been prepared and studied by thermal, spectroscopic and X‐ray diffraction methods. 1 has the rather unusual [Cu(phen)₃]²⁺ cation and two non‐equivalent [Cu(pheida)₂]^2— anions with a coordination type 4+2 but quite different tetragonality (T = 0.848 and 0.703 for anions 1 and 2, respectively). The crystal consists of multi‐π, π‐stacked chains (…anion 2 — cation — cation — anion 2…) connected by hydrophobic interactions; these chains build channels which are partially filled by anions 1 and water molecules. In contrast, compound 2 has a mixed‐ligand trinuclear cation with a bridging central moiety close similar to the counter anion. The formation of such a trinuclear cation is discussed as a consequence of the most advantageous molecular recognition process between [Cu(phen)₂(H₂O)_{1 or 2}]²⁺ and [Cu(BAAP)₂]^2— in solution. In the crystal of 2, multi‐π, π‐stacked arrays of C₆‐rings from phen and (BAAP)^2— ligands of trinuclear cations generate channels where counter anions and water molecules are located.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Magnetic Properties of {[Cu(phen)]2(C4H2O4)2} · 4.5H2O with C4H4O4 = Maleic Acid

Reaction of CuCl₂ · 2H₂O, phenanthroline, maleic acid and NaOH in CH₃OH/H₂O (1:1 v/v) at pH = 7.0 yielded blue {[Cu(phen)]₂(C₄H₂O₄)₂} · 4.5H₂O, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c (no. 15) with cell dimensions: a = 18.127(2)Å, b = 12.482(2)Å, c = 14.602(2)Å, β = 103.43(1)°, U = 3213.5(8)ų, Z = 4. The crystal structure consists of the centrosymmetric dinuclear {[Cu(phen)]₂(C₄H₂O₄)₂} complex molecules and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. The Cu atoms are each square‐pyramidally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and three carboxyl O atoms of two maleato ligands with one carboxyl O atom at the apical position (d(Cu‐N) = 2.008, 2.012Å, equatorial d(Cu‐O) = 1.933, 1.969Å, axial d(Cu‐O) = 2.306Å). Two square‐pyramids are condensed via two apical carboxyl O atoms with a relatively larger Cu···Cu separation of 3.346(1)Å. The dinuclear complex molecules are assembled via the intermolecular π—π stacking interactions into 1D ribbons. Crossover of the resulting ribbons via interribbon π—π stacking interactions forms a 3D network with the tunnels occupied by H₂O molecules. The title complex behaves paramagnetically between 5—300 K, following the Curie‐Weiss law _χm(T—θ) = 0.435 cm³ · mol^—1 · K with θ = 1.59 K.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New Macrocyclic Cu（Ⅱ） Complexes from Various Diamines, Copper（Ⅱ） Nitrate and 1,4-Bis（2-formylphenoxy）butane

Six new macrocyclic complexes were synthesized by a template reaction of 1,4-bis（2-formylphenoxy）butane with diamines and Cu（NO3）2·3H2O and their structures were proposed on the basis of elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductivity measurements and mass spectra. The metal to ligand molar ratios of the Cu（Ⅱ） complexes were found to be 1 ： 1. The Cu（Ⅱ） complexes are 1 ： 2 electrolytes as shown by their molar conductivities （∧m） in DMF at 10^-3 mol·L^-1. Due to the existence of free ions the Cu（Ⅱ） complexes are electrically conductive. Their configurations were proposed to be probably distorted octahedral.     

One Dimensional Coordination Polymer Constructed by1,2—Bis（4—pyridinecarboxamido）ethane and Copper（Ⅱ）

The ligand [1,2‐bis(4‐pyridinecarboxamido)ethane] (L) and the coordination polymer |[Cu(L)₂(H₂O)]‐(NO₃)₂·6H₂O|·(1) haw been synthesized and characterized by ER and ¹H NMR spectra. Their molecular structures and the packing of 1 have been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The Cu(n) in 1 is bridged by two ligands forming an infinite one‐dimensional chain like structure and L in 1 adopts a different conformation from its free state. 1 belongs to monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 1.2896(3) nm, b = 1.2552(8) nm, c = 2.2903(19) nm, β = 93.04(5)°, Z = 4, V = 3.702(4) nm³. The TG and DTG experiments showed that the uncoordinated H₂O can be removed at low temperature by heating, and it does not decompose until 250 °C.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Magnetic Properties of Novel Cobalt(II) and Copper(II) Complexes with 5‐(Isonicotinamido)isophthalate Ligand

Two new complexes, {[Co(INAIP) · H₂O] · 2H₂O}_n ( 1 ), and {[Cu(INAIP)] · H₂O}_n ( 2 ) [H₂INAIP = 5‐(isonicotinamido)isophthalic acid] were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structure determination, thermogravimetric analysis, X‐ray powder diffraction, and magnetic studies. In complex 1 both Co^II atoms and INAIP^2– ligands act as four‐connected node, whereas in 2 both Cu^II atoms and INAIP^2– ligands act as three‐connected node.     

[Cu(bpp)2(bpdc)(H2O)2]×2H2O and [Cu(bpp)2](tdc)×7.5H2O的合成、晶体结构和热稳定性

在室温下, 由Cu(NO3)2 、1,3 -二（4 -吡啶基）丙烷(bpp)、4,4 ’ -联苯二甲酸(H2bpdc)和2,5-噻吩二甲酸(H2tdc)制备出两种新型铜( II)配位聚合物[Cu(bpp)2(bpdc)(H2O)2]n·2nH2O, 1 和[Cu(bpp)2]n·n(tdc) 7.5nH2O, 2。两个配位聚合物均为一维线型结构,铜原子均采取变形的八面体结构,在轴线方向上的两个水分子与铜原子存在较弱的配位作用。在配合物1中,两个bpdc羧酸根离子与铜原子配位,而2中的tdc羧酸离子没有与铜原子键合,只是作为反离子平衡电荷。在两个产物中, 配体bpp具有不同的构象。热重分析表明配合物1与2分别在110°C和160°C以下是稳定的。     

Structural studies of (prop‐2‐en‐1‐yl)bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methylidene]amine hetero‐scorpionate copper complexes

The structures of five compounds consisting of (prop‐2‐en‐1‐yl)bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methylidene]amine complexed with copper in both the Cu^I and Cu^II oxidation states are presented, namely chlorido{(prop‐2‐en‐1‐yl)bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methylidene]amine‐κ³N,N′,N′′}copper(I) 0.18‐hydrate, [CuCl(C₁₅H₁₇N₃)]·0.18H₂O, (1), catena‐poly[[copper(I)‐μ₂‐(prop‐2‐en‐1‐yl)bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methylidene]amine‐κ⁵N,N′,N′′:C²,C³] perchlorate acetonitrile monosolvate], {[Cu(C₁₅H₁₇N₃)]ClO₄·CH₃CN}_n, (2), dichlorido{(prop‐2‐en‐1‐yl)bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methylidene]amine‐κ³N,N′,N′′}copper(II) dichloromethane monosolvate, [CuCl₂(C₁₅H₁₇N₃)]·CH₂Cl₂, (3), chlorido{(prop‐2‐en‐1‐yl)bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methylidene]amine‐κ³N,N′,N′′}copper(II) perchlorate, [CuCl(C₁₅H₁₇N₃)]ClO₄, (4), and di‐μ‐chlorido‐bis({(prop‐2‐en‐1‐yl)bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methylidene]amine‐κ³N,N′,N′′}copper(II)) bis(tetraphenylborate), [Cu₂Cl₂(C₁₅H₁₇N₃)₂][(C₆H₅)₄B]₂, (5). Systematic variation of the anion from a coordinating chloride to a noncoordinating perchlorate for two Cu^I complexes results in either a discrete molecular species, as in (1), or a one‐dimensional chain structure, as in (2). In complex (1), there are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Complex (2) consists of the Cu^I atom coordinated by the amine and pyridyl N atoms of one ligand and by the vinyl moiety of another unit related by the crystallographic screw axis, yielding a one‐dimensional chain parallel to the crystallographic b axis. Three complexes with Cu^II show that varying the anion composition from two chlorides, to a chloride and a perchlorate to a chloride and a tetraphenylborate results in discrete molecular species, as in (3) and (4), or a bridged bis‐μ‐chlorido complex, as in (5). Complex (3) shows two strongly bound Cl atoms, while complex (4) has one strongly bound Cl atom and a weaker coordination by one perchlorate O atom. The large noncoordinating tetraphenylborate anion in complex (5) results in the core‐bridged Cu₂Cl₂ moiety.     

A Structural Study of the Iminodiacetate Moiety Conformation in N‐(1‐adamantyl)‐iminodiacetate(2‐) Copper(II) Complexes

N,N‐bis(carboxymethyl)‐1‐adamantylamine acid (H₂BCAA) or N‐(1‐adamantyl)‐iminodiacetic acid forms zwitterions that are intra‐stabilized by a ‘bifurcated’ N⁺‐H···O(carboxyl)₂ interaction. In the crystal, both half‐protonated carboxyl groups of H₂BCAA^± are involved in linear O‐H···O inter‐molecular bridges of 2.46Å. In the studied BCAA‐Cu^II derivatives, the iminodiacetate‐moiety of the BCAA chelating ligand exhibits a mer‐NO₂ conformation in [Cu(BCAA)(H₂O)₂] ( 1 ) and [Cu(BCAA)(Him)]₂ ( 2 ), but a fac‐O₂+N(apical) conformation in [Cu(BCAA)(bpy)(H₂O)]·3.5H₂O ( 3 ) [Him = imidazole, bpy =2,2′‐bipyridine]. In clear contrast, dipyridylamine (dpya), as auxiliary ligand, seems to be unable to promote the fac‐O₂+N(apical) conformation in BCAA, as reveal the structures of two new salts with the trinuclear cation [(dpya)₂Cu‐μ₂‐Cu(BCAA)₂‐Cu(dpya)₂]²⁺ and the anions [Cu(BCAA)₂]^2? ( 4 ) or NO₃^? ( 5 ), respectively.
