Preparation of the mononuclear cobalt(II) complex, [Co(bipy)(maleato) (H₂O)₃]·H₂O (1) where bipy = 2,2-bipyridine, were accomplished by reaction of an aqueous solution containing sodium maleate and an ethanolic solution of Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O and bipy.

FinalR, after anisotropic least-squares refinement, is 8·8%. The crystals are tetragonal (P4/n):a = 11·24(1),c = 15·43(1) Å,Z = 2. Ni(II) is on a 4-fold axis; the coordination around it is flattened pyramidal and involves four sulphur atoms from four diallylthiourea molecules (Ni-S = 2·221 Å). Ni(II) is out of the plane through the sulphur atoms by 0·40 Å. Two I^- ions lie on opposite sides with respect to the nickel atom along the 4-fold axis, at distances Ni...I(1) = 3·74 Å, Ni...I(2) = 6·64 Å. The orientation of the allylthiourea molecules is determined mainly by a hydrogen bond formed by one nitrogen (N(1)) with the iodine which is nearer to the nickel.The authors are indebted to Prof. C.

The X-ray analysis, carried out using three-dimensional Patterson, Fourier and least-squares methods (finalR = 5·7%), showed copper(II) to be pentacoordinated, with two organic ligands chelating through their pyridine [Cu-N = 1·997(4), 1·989(4) Å] and amide nitrogen atoms [Cu-N = 1·980(7), 2·006(6) Å], and with one water molecule at a distance [Cu-OH₂ = 2·335(4) Å] sensibly longer than the usual Cu-O(2·0 Å) coordinate bonds. The coordination polyhedron can be described either as a distorted tetrahedron formed by the nitrogen atoms with an extra position occupied by water or as a trigonal bipyramid having water and two nitrogen atoms in the equatorial plane. The packing determining interactions are the hydrogen bonds formed by water, and a long Cu...N (3·420 Å) contact between the metal and a nitrogen atom from an adjacent molecule.The authors are indebted to Prof. Immirzi who kindly supplied his computer programmes.

The cyclooctatetraene ring has a tub shape, similar to that found in other cyclooctatetraene structures, with its average bond lengths of 1·46 Å and 1·34 Å for single and double bonds respectively in good agreement with earlier values for similar molecules. The Ca²⁺ cation is coordinated by eight oxygen atoms (six carboxylate, two water) in a distorted tetragonal antiprism with distances ranging from 2·30 to 3·07 Å. All hydrogen atoms were located; the water hydrogens form a layer-like network of hydrogen bonds linking the water and carboxylate oxygens approximately perpendicular to the z axis.

X-ray diffraction data from single crystals of the trimethylamine complexes of the three boron halides, BCl₃, BBr₃, and BI₃, lead to aP2₁/m monoclinic cell containing two molecules for each complex. The unit cell dimensions area = 6·68(1),b = 10·247(3),c = 6·502(6) Å, =116·2(1)° (chloro);a = 6·86(1),b = 10·612(4),c = 6·737(6) Å, = 115·8(1)° (bromo);a = 6·92(2),b = 10·86(1),c = 7·147(6) Å, = 93·9(1)° (iodo). The structures were solved by three-dimensional sharpened Patterson functions and show only the chloro and bromo compounds to be isomorphous. Refinement of 662,718 and 954 observed reflexions for the chloro, bromo and iodo complexes, respectively, using anisotropic thermal parameters yielded conventionalR factors of 0·045, 0·087 and 0·054.The molecules are shown to possess a B—N dative bond, a staggered conformation, and effective 3m (C _3v) symmetry. Average C—N bond lengths are 1·52(1) Å for all three complexes. Boronhalogen bond lengths average 1·864(4), 2·04(2) and 2·28(2) Å, while B—N bond distances are 1·609(6), 1·60(2) and 1·58(3) Å, respectively, for the chloro through iodo compounds. Bond angles are approximately tetrahedral with the C—N—C angle decreasing by several degrees in the Cl Br I series.Based in part on a dissertation submitted by Patty H. Clippard to the Rackham School of Graduate Studies of the University of Michigan, January 1969 in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Ph.D. Degree.     

Structure of a 1:1 complex between the anthelmintic drug mebendazole and propionic acid

Recrystallization of the anthelmintic drug mebendazole from propionic acid yields a 1:1 molecular complex which crystallizes in the triclinic system space group , a = 5.928(2), b = 11.066(2), c = 14.337(6)Å, = 94.89(3), = 101.56(3), = 96.18(2)°, and Z = 2 complex units in the unit cell.

The copper(II) complex [Cu(azpy)(H₂O)₄][Cu₂(nta)₂(azpy)]····6H₂O (nta = nitrilotriacetate, azpy = 4,4-azobispyridine) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P , a = 8.6985(3) Å, b = 9.4776(3) Å, c = 14.6544(5) Å, = 71.5360(10)°, = 85.7600(10)°, = 88.1420(10)°, V = 1142.74(7) ų, Z = 1. The crystal structure consists of one-dimensional linear chain cations and dimeric anions. The copper centers in the anion possess distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry, while Cu(2) has a distorted octahedral geometry in the cation. Coordinated water molecules in the one-dimensional chain form interionic hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms of the carboxylate of nta of the dimmer anion. These hydrogen bonds result in the formation of a two-dimensional network.
