Abstract  

A mononuclear fragment [Cu(L)Cl]ClO₄ (1) and a cyano-bridged Cu^II–Ni^II binuclear complex [CuL][Ni(CN)₄]·0.25H₂O (2) (L = 1,3,6,8,11,14-hexaazatricyclo[12.2.1.18,11]-octadecane), have been prepared and characterized. X-ray single crystal analyses indicate that the both complexes crystallize in the monoclinic crystalline system. The complex of 1 in P1n1 space group with unit cell constants a = 6.1176(6) ?, b = 11.9147(10) ?, c = 12.2041(12) ?, β = 98.816(5)° and 2 in the P2₁/n space group with unit cell constants a = 8.1419(13) ?, b = 14.695(2) ?, c = 16.863(3) ?, β = 98.375(2)° have been revealed. The complex 2 assumes a binuclear structure in which the nickel(II) ion is in a square planar environment and the copper(II) is in a square-prism geometry environment.     

Crystal and molecular structure of the photocatalyst tris(2,2′-bipyrazine)ruthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate

The X-ray structure determination of the complex tris(2,2-bipyrazine)ruthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate, [Ru(C₈N₄H₆)₃](PF₆)₂, has shown that the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c witha=13.459(5),b=23.486(8),c=17.913(10) Å,=139.85(1)°, andZ=4. Each asymmetric unit also contains one dimethylformamide and one water molecule. Least-squares refinement led to an R factor of 0.074 based on 3463 reflections for which I>2(I). The [Ru(C₈N₄H₆)₃]²⁺ cation has no crystallographic symmetry, but the requirements for point symmetry 32 are nearly met. The six Ru-N bond lengths agree within experimental error and have an average length of 2.05(1) Å.

The Cu atoms are 2.614(1)Å apart and are bridged by four benzoate groups. The discrete dimers are extended into 1D chains that result from hydrogen bonding between the coordinated methanol on one Cu(II) dimer and the nitro substituent on an adjacent Cu(II) dimer. The chains are interdigited and held by – stacking interactions forming 3D supramolecular array.     

Crystal Structure of a Nickel(II) Complex with the Macrocyclic Azadibenzo-14-crown-4 Ether Ligand Containing the Embedded Di(α-pyridyl)bispidone Moiety

The crystal structure of the nickel(II) complex with substituted azadibenzo-14-crown-4 ether containing the embedded di(α-pyridyl)bispidone moiety having the formula [L(H₂O)Ni(NO₃) Ni(H₂O)L](ClO₄)₃ · 0.7EtOH was studied by X-ray diffraction (T = 150(2) K, R = 0.0628).

Crystal and molecular structure of the spin-crossover complex bis(pyridine) [N,N′-ethylenebis (3-carboxysalicylaldimine)] cobalt (II)

The average structure of the title compound, Co(H₂fsa₂en)(py)₂, which has been shown previously to exhibit a thermally induced high-spin low-spin crossover, has been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This structure has been solved in the monoclinic space groupC2/c (No. 15), with cell dimensionsa=16.641(5),b=9.496(4),c=16.329(6) Å, and=95.47(3)°;V=2569(3) ų,M _r =571.46,Z=4,D _x =1.478 mg m^–3; MoK radiation (graphite crystal monochromator),=0.71073 Å,(MoK)=7.138 cm^–1;T=295 K andR=0.081 for 681 observed [I>3(I)] independent reflections. The cobalt(II) ion resides on a twofold axis in an elongated octahedral environment, the length of the apical bond (formed with pyridine) being 2.262(12) Å and the mean length of the equatorial bonds (formed with the Schiff base) 2.079(12) Å. These values are consistent with the magnetic behavior, which suggested a distorted surrounding for the metal atom. The packing is essentially governed by the parallelism of the salicylaldimine ligands. The two pyridine rings of the molecule are twisted by ~98° on each side of the basal plane; they are probably affected by orientational disorder or, if ordered, they might be described in a superstructure not yet established.
