Two Light-Metal Dihydrogenisocyanurate Hydrates Linked by Diagonal Relationship: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Vibrational Spectra of Li[H2N3C3O3]·1.75 H2O and Mg[H2N3C3O3]2·8 H2O

Single-crystalline materials of Li[H₂N₃C₃O₃] · 1.75 H₂O and Mg[H₂N₃C₃O₃]₂ · 8 H₂O were obtained by dissolving stoichiometric amounts of the respective carbonates with cyanuric acid in boiling water followed by gentle evaporation of excess water after cooling to room temperature. Even though both of these compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group P1 according to X-ray structure analyses of their colorless and transparent single crystals, they adopt two new different structure types. Li[H₂N₃C₃O₃] · 1.75 H₂O exhibits the unit-cell parameters a = 884.71(6) pm, b = 905.12(7) pm, c = 964.38(7) pm, α = 67.847(2)°, β = 62.904(2)° and γ = 68.565(2)° (Z = 4), whereas the lattice parameters for Mg[H₂N₃C₃O₃]₂ · 8 H₂O are a = 691.95(5) pm, b = 1055.06(8) pm, c = 1183.87(9) pm, α = 85.652(2)°, β = 83.439(2)° and γ = 79.814(2)° (Z = 2). In both cases, the singly deprotonated isocyanuric acid forms monovalent anions consisting of cyclic [H₂N₃C₃O₃]^– units, which are arranged in ribbons typical for most hitherto known monobasic isocyanurate hydrates. The structures are governed by the oxophilic strength of the respective cation which means that they fulfil their oxophilic coordination requirements either solely with water molecules ([Mg(OH₂)₆]²⁺ for Mg²⁺) or with crystal water and one or two direct coordinative contacts to carbonyl oxygen atoms (O_(cy)) of [H₂N₃C₃O₃]^– anions ([(Li(OH₂)_2–3(O_(cy)1–2]⁺ for Li⁺). In both structures occur dominant hydrogen bonds N–H ··· O within the anionic [H₂N₃C₃O₃]^– ribbons as well as hydrogen bonds O–H ··· O between these ribbons and the hydrated Li⁺ and Mg²⁺ cations.

The complexation of cadmium acetate and propionate by phenanthroline. Structure and properties of [Cd(CH3COO)2(C12H8N2)(H2O)] · H2O and [Cd(CH3CH2COO)2(C12H8N2)]2 · 2CH3CH2COOH

The coordination compounds [Cd(CH₃COO-κO ¹,O ²)₂(phenanthroline-kN ¹ N ²)(H₂O)] · H₂O (1) and [Cd{μ-(CH₃CH₂COO-κO ¹,O ²)}₂(phenanthroline-κN ¹,N ²)]₂ · 2CH₃CH₂COOH (2) were synthesized and characterized by elemental and thermal analysis and IR spectroscopy. Crystal and molecular structures of both compounds were determined. The complexes are air stable and fairly soluble in water. In both compounds the cadmium is seven-coordinate and contains chelating phenanthroline and two chelating carboxylate groups in the inner coordination sphere. The seventh coordinating oxygen belongs to water in 1 and to bridging carboxylate in 2. All carboxylate groups are bonded unsymmetrically to the central atom. The coordination polyhedra can be described as distorted pentagonal bipyramid (compound 1) and distorted capped tetragonal bipyramid (compound 2). In the structure of 1 intermolecular O(water)–H ··· O (water/carboxylate) hydrogen bonds create a two-dimensional net along the crystallographic a0c plane. Each molecule of 2 is connected to two propionic acid molecules via hydrogen bonds. In both compounds exist π-stacking interactions.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Copper(I) Chloride π-Complexes with N-Allyl- and N,N'-Diallylpiperazinium Dichlorides: [C3H5NH(CH2)4NH2]Cu2Cl4and [C3H5NH(CH2)4NHC3H5]0.5CuCl2

The crystals of copper(I) π-complexes with N-allyl piperazine derivatives, [C₃H₅NH(CH₂)₄NH₂]Cu₂Cl₄(I) and [C₃H₅NH(CH₂)₄NHC₃H₅]_0.5CuCl₂(II), were prepared by alternating-current electrochemical synthesis. X-ray diffraction study showed that compounds Iand IIcrystallize in the monoclinic system: for I, space group P2₁/a, a= 10.254(4) Å, b= 12.306(4) Å, c= 10.656(4) Å, γ = 98.83(3)°, V= 1329(2) ų, Z= 4, R= 0.0457 for 1334 independent reflections; for II, space group P2₁/n, a= 10.187(2) Å, b= 7.283(2) Å, c= 10.480(3) Å, γ = 100.72(2)°, V= 764.0(6) ų, Z= 4, R= 0.0371 for 1025 independent reflections. The structure of Iis composed of {Cu₂Cl₄(C₇H₁₆N₂)}₂dimers linked by fairly strong (N)H···Cl hydrogen bonds (2.35(4) Å). The structure of IIconsists of centrosymmetrical dimeric Cu₂Cl₄ ^2–anions, whose copper atoms coordinate the allyl groups of different centrosymmetrical organic cations. The dimer–ligand chains are stretched along the [ $ {11} $ 0] direction and are joined by hydrogen contacts (N)H···Cl (2.62(4) Å).
