The complexmer,trans-[Ru(NO₂)(trpy)(PPr₃) ₂ ⁺ ][ClO ₄ ^– ]crystallizes in the centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pnma withZ=4. Both the ruthenium(II) cation and the perchlorate ligand lie about crystallographic mirror planes. The nitro ligand is not coplanar with the Ru(trpy) moiety and suffers from two fold disorder about its Ru–N bond such that the two sets of oxygen atoms have symmetry-related sites above or below the crystallographic mirror plane. The n-propyl groups within the PPr₃ ligands suffer from disorder of their C() and C() atoms but share common C() sites. Ruthenium-ligand distances are: Ru–PPr₃=2.398(2)Å, Ru–NO₂=2.053(7) Å, Ru–N(trpy, outer)=2.078(6) and 2.092(6) Å and Ru–N(trpy, central) =1.965(6) Å.

Self-assemblies of Ni(II) with phenanthroline and maleate anions: [Ni(H2O)3(phen)L] ⋅ H2O (1) and [Ni(H2O)2(phen)L] ⋅ 2H2O (2) with H2L = maleic acid

The complex [Ni(H₂O)₃(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] H₂O (1), which was obtained by reaction of phenanthroline, Ni(NO₃)₂ 6H₂O, and maleic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O at pH = 7.05, crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁ (no. 4) with cell dimensions: a = 9.350(1) Å, b = 7.631(1) Å, c = 12.821(1) Å, = 106.25(1), and D _calc = 1.607 g/cm³ for Z = 2. The Ni atoms are each octahe drally coordinated by one chelating phen ligand, three H₂O molecules and one monodentate maleato ligand to form [Ni(H₂O)₃(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] complex molecules with d(Ni–O) = 2.038–2.090 Å, d(Ni–N) = 2.066, 2.089 Å. The formed complex molecules are, via the intermolecular hydrogen bonds, assembled into columnar 1D chains. Interdigitation of the chelating phen ligands of the neighboring chains leads to 2D layers and the crystal H₂O molecules are hydrogen bonded to the oxygen atoms of the maleate not coordinated to the Ni atom. However, reaction of NiCO₃, phen, and maleic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O at pH = 6.33 afforded [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] 2H₂O (2), which crystallized in the triclinic space group (no. 2) with cell dimensions: a = 7.971(1) Å, b = 8.237(1) Å, c = 13.304(1) Å, = 81.005(6)°, = 87.877(8)°, = 78.322(8)°, and D _calc = 1.671 g/cm³ for Z = 2. The Ni atoms are each octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and four O atoms of two H₂O molecules and two bis–monodentate maleato ligands with d(Ni–O) = 2.041–2.120 Å and d(Ni–N) = 2.095 Å. The Ni atoms are bridged by the maleato ligands to generate 1D ¹ [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)_2/2] chains along [100]. The supramolecular assemblies of the 1D chains via – stacking inter- actions result in thick 2D layers parallel to (001), between which the noncoordinating H₂O molecules are sandwiched. The paramagnetic [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)_2/2] 2H₂O (2) obeys the Curie–Weiss law _m(T-) = 1.139cm³ mol^–1 K with the Weiss constant = –0.95 K.

Structural characterization and excited-state properties of luminescent <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tris</Emphasis>-(μ -3-methyl-5- trifluoromethylpyrazolato)trigold(I)

Tris-(-(3-methyl-5-trifluoromethylpyrazolato)-N:N)triangulo-trigold(I), (3,5-tfmpz)₃ Au₃, has been synthesized and exhibits a planar nine-member ring containing a central gold triangle with an average intramolecular Au–Au distance of 3.3455(8) Å. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc with a = 12.998(2) Å, b = 22.910 (3) Å, c = 7.217(1) Å, and = 104.781(1). The solid-state structure consists of sheets of (3,5-tfmpz)₃Au₃ units stacked in an offset fashion along the c axis such that one gold atom in each Au₃ unit (Au1) lies approximately over the midpoint of the Au1–Au3 edge of the triangle in the layer below it. The intermolecular Au–Au distances are between 3.880(1) and 4.023(1) Å, which are too long for there to be significant intertrimer bonding interaction suggesting that any supramolecular organization may be due to hydrogen-fluorine and fluorine-fluorine interactions between the molecules. The complex exhibits excitation-dependent emission at room temperature in the solid state. The structured higher energy emission (_em = 468, 517, and 556(sh) nm) is believed to be a ligand-centered ^* transition with a lower energy unstructured emission (_em = 658 nm) assigned to the classical Au–Au excited state transition.

Preparation, characterization, and X-ray structure analysis of diethylenetriammonium tetrathiomolybdate

The interaction of H₂S gas with aqueous ammonium heptamolybdate solution in the presence of diethylenetriamine (dien) led to the formation of diethylenetriammonium tetrathiomolybdate crystals. The elemental analyses, UV-Visible, IR, and ¹H NMR spectra suggested the presence of organic cation and (MoS₄)^2– moiety. The ¹H NMR revealed the presence of two sets of symmetrical A₂X₂ multiple patterns.

Crystal structure of 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis in the triclinic space group P , with a = 10.7327(10) Å, b = 11.1658(11) Å, c = 17.3768(16) Å, = 108.063(2), = 91.064(2), = 116.721(2), V = 1737.5(3) ų, and Z = 2. Both the anion and the countercation in 1 are copper(II) complexes linked by terephthalate bridges in the bis(monodentate) (syn–anti) mode. The anion and the countercation are also linked by two hydrogen bonds between coordinating water molecules and terephthalate ligand.
