Structure of hexaaquamagnesium (II) bis(4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-aminobenzenesulfamido-2,6-dimethoxypyrimidinate) pentahydrate

The X-ray analysis of a single crystal of Mg(C₁₂H₁₃N₄O₄S)₂·11H₂O, where (C₁₂H₁₃N₄O₄S)^? is the anion of 4-p-aminobenzenesulfamido-2,6-dimethoxypyrimidine (sulfadimethoxine) is carried out. Unit cell parameters are: a = 19.753(4) Å, b = 34.031(7) Å, c = 13.859(3) Å; β = 125.37(3)°, C2/c, Z = 8, R(F) = 0.042. The structure is built of [Mg(OH₂)₆]²⁺, (C₁₂H₁₃N₄O₄S)^?, and water molecules and corresponds to the formula [Mg(OH₂)₆](C₁₂H₁₃N₄O₄S)₂·5H₂O. The IR bands of ν_asymSO₂ and ν_symSO₂ are bathochromically shifted as a result of their participation in hydrogen bonding, and not because of any direct coordination of sulfadimethoxinate anion to the complexing atom through oxygen.     

Amine‐Templated One‐Dimensional Metal Sulfates Including a Mixed‐Valent Fe Compound with a Half‐Kagome Structure

Organically templated metal sulfates are relatively new. Six amine‐templated transition‐metal sulfates with different types of chain structures, including a novel iron sulfate with a chain structure corresponding to one half of the kagome structure, were synthesized by hydro/solvothermal methods. Amongst the one‐dimensional metal sulfates, [C₁₀N₂H₁₀][Zn(SO₄)Cl₂] ( 1 ) is the simplest, being formed by corner‐linked ZnO₂Cl₂ and SO₄ tetrahedra. [C₆N₂H₁₈][Mn(SO₄)₂(H₂O)₂] ( 2 ) and [C₂N₂H₁₀][Ni(SO₄)₂(H₂O)₂] ( 3 ) have ladder structures comprising four‐membered rings formed by SO₄ tetrahedra and metal–oxygen octahedra, just as in the mineral kröhnkite. [C₄N₂H₁₂][V^III(OH)(SO₄)₂]?H₂O ( 4 ) and [C₄N₂H₁₂][VF₃(SO₄)] ( 5 ) exhibit chain topologies of the minerals tancoite and butlerite, respectively. The structure of [C₄N₂H₁₂][H₃O][Fe^IIIFe^II F₆(SO₄)] ( 6 ) is noteworthy in that it corresponds to half of the hexagonal kagome structure. It exhibits ferrimagnetic properties at low temperatures and the absence of frustration, unlike the mixed‐valent iron sulfate with the full kagome structure.     

Two new dimeric cadmium(II) and zinc(II) sulfate complexes with 2,4,6‐tris(2‐pyridyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine and 2,2:6′,2′′‐ter­pyridine

The structures of two new sulfate complexes are reported, namely di‐μ‐sulfato‐κ³O,O′:O′′‐bis{aqua­[2,4,6‐tris(2‐pyridyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine‐κ³N¹,N²,N⁶]­cadmium(II)} tetra­hydrate, [Cd₂(SO₄)₂(C₁₆H₁₂N₆)₂(H₂O)₂]·4H₂O, and di‐μ‐sulfato‐κ²O:O′‐bis­[(2,2′:6′,2′′‐ter­pyridine‐κ³N¹,N^1′,N^1′′)­zinc(II)] dihydrate, [Cd₂(SO₄)₂(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)₂]·2H₂O, the former being the first report of a Cd(tpt) complex [tpt is 2,4,6‐tris(2‐pyridyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine]. Both compounds crystallize in the space group P and form centrosymmetric dimeric structures. In the cadmium complex, the metal center is heptacoordinated in the form of a pentagonal bipyramid, while in the zinc complex, the metal ion is in a fivefold environment, the coordination geometry being intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal. Packing of the dimers leads to the formation of planar structures strongly linked by hydrogen bonding.     

Streptidinium sulfate monohydrate

In streptidinium sulfate monohydrate {systematic name: 1,1′‐[(1S,3R,4S,6R)‐2,4,5,6‐tetrahydroxycyclohexane‐1,3‐diyl]diguanidinium sulfate monohydrate}, C₈H₂₀N₆O₄²⁺·SO₄²⁻·H₂O, at 100 (2) K, the components are arranged in double helices based on hydrogen bonds. One helix contains streptidinium cations and the other contains disordered sulfate anions and solvent water molecules. The helices are linked into a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network by O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

Two 2,5‐bis(2‐pyridinyl)‐1,3,4‐oxa­diazo­le–metal complexes (M = Cu and Ni)

The reaction of the diazine ligand 3,5‐bis(2‐pyridinyl)‐1,3,4‐oxa­diazole (pod, C₁₂H₈N₄O), with Cu(CF₃SO₃)₂ or Ni(ClO₄)₂ afforded the title complexes di­aqua­bis­[3,5‐bis(2‐pyridinyl)‐1,3,4‐oxa­diazole‐N²,N³]copper(II) bis­(tri­fluoro­methane­sul­fon­ate), [Cu(pod)₂(H₂O)₂](CF₃SO₃)₂, and di­aqua­bis­[3,5‐bis(2‐pyridinyl)‐1,3,4‐oxa­diazo­le‐N²,N³]­nickel(II) diperchlorate, [Ni(pod)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂. Both complexes present a crystallographically centrosymmetric mononuclear cation structure which consists of a six‐coordinated Cu^II or Ni^II ion with two pod mol­ecules acting as bidentate ligands and two axially coordinated water mol­ecules.     

Two two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded coordination networks: bis(3‐carboxybenzoato‐κO)bis(4‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole‐κN3)copper(II) and bis(3‐methylbenzoato‐κN)bis(4‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole‐κN3)copper(II) monohydrate

The title two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded coordination compounds, [Cu(C₈H₅O₄)₂(C₄H₆N₂)₂], (I), and [Cu(C₈H₇O₂)₂(C₄H₆N₂)₂]·H₂O, (II), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The molecule of complex (I) lies across an inversion centre, and the Cu²⁺ ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two 4‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole (4‐MeIM) molecules and two O atoms from two 3‐carboxybenzoate (HBDC⁻) anions in a square‐planar geometry. Adjacent molecules are linked through intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds into a two‐dimensional sheet with (4,4) topology. In the asymmetric part of the unit cell of (II) there are two symmetry‐independent molecules, in which each Cu²⁺ ion is also coordinated by two N atoms from two 4‐MeIM molecules and two O atoms from two 3‐methylbenzoate (3‐MeBC⁻) anions in a square‐planar coordination. Two neutral complex molecules are held together via N—H...O(carboxylate) hydrogen bonds to generate a dimeric pair, which is further linked via discrete water molecules into a two‐dimensional network with the Schläfli symbol (4³)₂(4⁶,6⁶,8³). In both compounds, as well as the strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds, π–π interactions also stabilize the crystal stacking.     

Cobalt(II) and cadmium(II) square grids supported with 4,4′‐bipyrazole and accommodating 3‐carboxyadamantane‐1‐carboxylate

In poly[[bis(μ‐4,4′‐bi‐1H‐pyrazole‐κ²N²:N^2′)bis(3‐carboxyadamantane‐1‐carboxylato‐κO¹)cobalt(II)] dihydrate], {[Co(C₁₂H₁₅O₄)₂(C₆H₆N₄)₂]·2H₂O}_n, (I), the Co²⁺ cation lies on an inversion centre and the 4,4′‐bipyrazole (4,4′‐bpz) ligands are also situated across centres of inversion. In its non‐isomorphous cadmium analogue, {[Cd(C₁₂H₁₅O₄)₂(C₆H₆N₄)₂]·2H₂O}_n, (II), the Cd²⁺ cation lies on a twofold axis. In both compounds, the metal cations adopt an octahedral coordination, with four pyrazole N atoms in the equatorial plane [Co—N = 2.156 (2) and 2.162 (2) Å; Cd—N = 2.298 (2) and 2.321 (2) Å] and two axial carboxylate O atoms [Co—O = 2.1547 (18) Å and Cd—O = 2.347 (2) Å]. In both structures, interligand hydrogen bonding [N...O = 2.682 (3)–2.819 (3) Å] is essential for stabilization of the MN₄O₂ environment with its unusually high (for bulky adamantanecarboxylates) number of coordinated N‐donor co‐ligands. The compounds adopt two‐dimensional coordination connectivities and exist as square‐grid [M(4,4′‐bpz)₂]_n networks accommodating monodentate carboxylate ligands. The interlayer linkage is provided by hydrogen bonds from the carboxylic acid groups via the solvent water molecules [O...O = 2.565 (3) and 2.616 (3) Å] to the carboxylate groups in the next layer [O...O = 2.717 (3)–2.841 (3) Å], thereby extending the structures in the third dimension.     

Polysulfonylamine. XL Darstellung von Silber(I)-disulfonylamid-Acetonitril-Komplexen. Röntgenstrukturanalytische und thermochemische Charakterisierung von Tetraacetonitrilsilber(I)-bis(dimesylamido)argentat(I) und von (1,1,3,3-Tetraoxo-1,3,2-benzodithiazolido)acetonitrilsilber(I)

Polysulfonyl Amines. XL. Preparation of Silver(I) Disulfonylamide Acetonitrile Complexes. Characterization of Tetraacetonitrilesilver(I) bis(dimesylamido)argentate(I) and (1,1,3,3-Tetraoxo-1,3,2-benzodithiazolido)acetonitrilesilver(I) by X-Ray Diffractometry and Thermal Analysis The following silver(I) disulfonylamides were prepared for the first time or by improved procedures: AgN(SO₂CH₃)₂ ( 2a ); AgN(SO₂C₆H₄-4-X)₂ with X = F ( 2b ), Cl ( 2c ), Br ( 2d ), CH₃ ( 2e ); silver(I) 1,2-benzenedisulfonimide AgN(SO₂)₂C₆H₄ ( 2f ). With acetonitrile, the salts 2a to 2e form (1/2) complexes AgN(SO₂R)· 2 CH₃CN ( 4a to 4e ), whereas 2f gives the (1/1) complex AgN(SO₂)₂C₆H · CH₃CN ( 4f ). The crystallographic data (at - 95°C) for the title compounds 4a and 4f are: 4a , space group C2/c, a = 1 967.6(4), b = 562.2(1), c = 2 353.0(5) pm, β = 102.21(2)°, V = 2.5440 nm³, Z = 4, D_x = 1.891 Mg m^?3; 4f , space group P2₁/m, a = 741.5(3), b = 980.4(4), c = 756.6(3) pm, β = 99.28(2)°, V = 0.5428 nm³, Z = 2, D_x = 2.246 Mg m^?3. 4a forms an ionic crystal [Ag(NCCH₃)₄]^⊕[Ag{N(SO₂CH₃)₂}₂]^? with a tetrahedrally coordinated silver atom (lying on a twofold axis) in the cation (225.3/225.7 pm for the two independent Ag? N distances, N? Ag? N 106.2—114.5°) and a linear-dicoordinated silver atom in the centrosymmetric anion (Ag? N 213.9 pm, two intraionic secondary Ag…O contacts 303.4 pm). 4f consists of uncharged molecules [C₆H₄(SO₂)₂N¹AgN²CCH₃] with crystallographic mirror symmetry (Ag? N¹ 218.8, Ag? N² 216.1 pm, N¹? Ag? N² 174.3°), associated into strands by intermolecular secondary silver-oxygen contacts (Ag…O 273.8 pm, O…Ag…O 175.6, N? Ag…O 91.9/88.2°). The thermochemical behaviour of 4f was investigated using thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), time- and temperature-resolved X-ray diffractometry (TXRD), and solution calorimetry. The desolvation process occurs in the temperature range from 60 to 200°C and appears to be complex, although no crystalline intermediate could be detected. The desolvation enthalpy at 298 K was found to be + 26.8(4) kJ mol^?1. 4a is desolvated in two steps at - 15 to 60°C and 60 to 95°C (DSC), suggesting the formation of AgN(SO₂CH₃) · CH₃CN as an intermediate.     

The formation of aryloxenium ion in the reaction of N-nitro-O-(4-nitrophenyl)hydroxylamine with strong acids

The reaction of N-nitro-O-(4-nitrophenyl)hydroxylamine (1) with conc. H₂SO₄ affords 4-nitropyrocatechol and that with conc. sulfonic acids (RSO₃H where R = Me, CF₃) affords 2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl-R-sulfonates in yields of 80?C85%. These reactions are assumed to proceed through an intermediate (phenoxy)oxodiazonium ion [NO₂C₆H₄O-N=N=O]⁺, which eliminates the N₂O molecule to form the aryloxenium ion [NO₂C₆H₄O]⁺. The latter reacts with acid anions at the ortho-carbon atom of the phenyl ring. The thermodynamical parameters of the elementary reactions resulting in the formation of the (phenoxy)oxodiazonium ion [NO₂C₆H₄O-N=N=O]⁺ and aryloxenium ion [NO₂C₆H₄O]⁺ were calculated in the B3LYP/6?311+G(d) study of the combined molecular system (nitrohydroxylamine 1 + [H₃SO₄]⁺). The reaction of nitrohydroxylamine 1 with aqueous solutions of strong acids (??70% H₂SO₄, CF₃SO₃H) affords mainly 4-nitrophenol. It appears that the mechanism of this reaction does not involve the formation of the aryloxenium ion.

An Aquasilver(I) Complex with an Ag(m?-H₂O)₂Ag Structural Unit: Characterization of Aqua(1,1,3,3-tetraoxo-1,3,2-benzodithiazolido)silver(I) by X-Ray Diffractometry and Thermal Analysis The title compound C₆H₄(SO₂)₂NAg · H₂O, where C₆H₄(SO₂)₂N^º is the anion of 1,2-benzenedisulfonimide, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with (at ?95°C) a = 1 129,7(3), b = 1 196.1(3), c = 810.7(2) pm, β = 124.25(2)°, V = 0.9055 nm³, Z = 4, D_x = 2.524 Mg m^?3. The crystal packing consists of [Ag(m?-H₂O)₂Ag{m?-C₆H₄(SO₂)₂N}₂]_n bands with crystallographic mirror symmetry, associated into layers by H-bonds with O(W)—O(S) 289.7 pm. The Ag(m?-H₂O)₂Ag moiety forms a planar four-membered ring with Ag? O(W)? Ag 97.3°, O(W)? Ag? O(W) 82.7° and Ag°Ag 372.1 pm. In the Ag{C₆H₄(SO₂)₂N}₂Ag′ unit, the anions act as tridentate (N, 1-O, 3-O)-ligands: One is N-bonded to Ag and O,O-chelated to Ag′, the other N-bonded to Ag′ and O,O-chelated to Ag. The silver atoms are (O₄N)-pentacoordinate, with nitrogen in the apical position of a distorted square pyramid [Ag? N 223.6, Ag? O(W) 247.8, Ag? O(S) 259.4 pm]. The thermochemical behaviour of the hydrate was investigated by thermal analysis and calorimetry. Water is only released at temperatures above 220°C. The dehydration enthalpy at 298 K is + 13.9 kJ mol^?1.     

First‐row transition metal–pyridine (py)–sulfate [(py)xM](SO4) complexes (M = Ni,Cu and Zn): crystal field theory in action

The crystal structures of three first‐row transition metal–pyridine–sulfate complexes, namely catena‐poly[[tetrakis(pyridine‐κN)nickel(II)]‐μ‐sulfato‐κ²O:O′], [Ni(SO₄)(C₅H₅N)₄]_n, (1), di‐μ‐sulfato‐κ⁴O:O‐bis[tris(pyridine‐κN)copper(II)], [Cu₂(SO₄)₂(C₅H₅N)₆], (2), and catena‐poly[[tetrakis(pyridine‐κN)zinc(II)]‐μ‐sulfato‐κ²O:O′‐[bis(pyridine‐κN)zinc(II)]‐μ‐sulfato‐κ²O:O′], [Zn₂(SO₄)₂(C₅H₅N)₆]_n, (3), are reported. Ni compound (1) displays a polymeric crystal structure, with infinite chains of Ni^II atoms adopting an octahedral N₄O₂ coordination environment that involves four pyridine ligands and two bridging sulfate ligands. Cu compound (2) features a dimeric molecular structure, with the Cu^II atoms possessing square‐pyramidal N₃O₂ coordination environments that contain three pyridine ligands and two bridging sulfate ligands. Zn compound (3) exhibits a polymeric crystal structure of infinite chains, with two alternating zinc coordination environments, i.e. octahedral N₄O₂ coordination involving four pyridine ligands and two bridging sulfate ligands, and tetrahedral N₂O₂ coordination containing two pyridine ligands and two bridging sulfate ligands. The observed coordination environments are consistent with those predicted by crystal field theory.     

Two nickel(II) bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methyl]amine complexes with homophthalic and benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetracarboxylic acids

Two new Ni^II complexes involving the ancillary ligand bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methyl]amine (bpma) and two different carboxylate ligands, i.e. homophthalate [hph; systematic name: 2‐(2‐carboxylatophenyl)acetate] and benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetracarboxylate (btc), namely catena‐poly[[aqua{bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methyl]amine‐κ³N,N′,N′′}nickel(II)]‐μ‐2‐(2‐carboxylatophenyl)aceteto‐κ²O:O′], [Ni(C₉H₆O₄)(C₁₂H₁₃N₃)(H₂O)]_n, and (μ‐benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetracarboxylato‐κ⁴O¹,O²:O⁴,O⁵)bis(aqua{bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methyl]amine‐κ³N,N′,N′′}nickel(II)) bis(triaqua{bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methyl]amine‐κ³N,N′,N′′}nickel(II)) benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetracarboxylate hexahydrate, [Ni₂(C₁₀H₂O₈)(C₁₂H₁₃N₃)₂(H₂O)₂]·[Ni(C₁₂H₁₃N₃)(H₂O)₃]₂(C₁₀H₂O₈)·6H₂O, (II), are presented. Compound (I) is a one‐dimensional polymer with hph acting as a bridging ligand and with the chains linked by weak C—H...O interactions. The structure of compound (II) is much more complex, with two independent Ni^II centres having different environments, one of them as part of centrosymmetric [Ni(bpma)(H₂O)]₂(btc) dinuclear complexes and the other in mononuclear [Ni(bpma)(H₂O)₃]²⁺ cations which (in a 2:1 ratio) provide charge balance for btc⁴⁻ anions. A profuse hydrogen‐bonding scheme, where both coordinated and crystal water molecules play a crucial role, provides the supramolecular linkage of the different groups.     

Two new cadmium(II) coordination polymers based on bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)alkane ligands and pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid

Assemblies of pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid and Cd^II in the presence of bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)butane or bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)ethane under ambient conditions yielded two new coordination polymers, namely poly[[tetraaqua[μ₂‐1,4‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)butane‐κ²N⁴:N^4′]bis(μ₂‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ³N¹,O²:O³)dicadmium(II)] dihydrate], {[Cd₂(C₆H₂N₂O₄)₂(C₈H₁₂N₆)(H₂O)₄]·2H₂O}_n, (I), and poly[[diaqua[μ₂‐1,2‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)ethane‐κ²N⁴:N^4′]bis(μ₃‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ⁴N¹,O²:O³:O^3′)dicadmium(II)] dihydrate], {[Cd₂(C₆H₂N₂O₄)₂(C₆H₈N₆)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O}_n, (II). Complex (I) displays an interesting two‐dimensional wave‐like structure and forms a distinct extended three‐dimensional supramolecular structure with the help of O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Complex (II) has a three‐dimensional framework structure in which hydrogen bonds of the O—H...N and O—H...O types are found.     

Synthese,Kristallstrukturen und thermisches Verhalten von Er2(SO4)3 · 8 H2O und Er2(SO4)3 · 4 H2O

Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Thermal Behavior of Er₂(SO₄)₃ · 8 H₂O and Er₂(SO₄)₃ · 4 H₂O Evaporation of aqueous solutions of Er₂(SO₄)₃ yields light pink single crystals of Er₂(SO₄)₃ · 8 H₂O. X-ray single crystal investigations show that the compound crystallizes monoclinically (C2/c, Z = 8, a = 1346.1(3), b = 667.21(1), c = 1816.2(6) pm, β = 101.90(3)°, R_all = 0.0169) with eightfold coordination of Er³⁺, according to Er(SO₄)₄(H₂O)₄. DSC- and temperature dependent X-ray powder investigations show that the decomposition of the hydrate follows a two step mechanism, firstly yielding Er₂(SO₄)₃ · 3 H₂O and finally Er₂(SO₄)₃. Attempts to synthesize Er₂(SO₄)₃ · 3 H₂O led to another hydrate, Er₂(SO₄)₃ · 4 H₂O. There are two crystallographically different Er³⁺ ions in the triclinic structure (P 1, Z = 2, a = 663.5(2), b = 905.5(2), c = 1046.5(2) pm, α = 93.59(3)°, β = 107.18(2)°, γ = 99.12(3)°, R_all = 0.0248). Er(1)³⁺ is coordinated by five SO₄^2– groups and three H₂O molecules, Er(2)³⁺ is surrounded by six SO₄^2– groups and one H₂O molecule. The thermal decomposition of the tetrahydrate yields Er₂(SO₄)₃ in a one step process. In both cases the dehydration produces the anhydrous sulfate in a modification different from the one known so far.     

A novel three‐dimensional copper(II) network via hydrogen bonds: diaquabis[bis(pyrazol‐1‐yl‐κN2)methane]copper(II) diperchlorate

The crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu(C₇H₈N₄)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, consists of a discrete centrosymmetric [Cu(C₇H₈N₄)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ cation and two perchlorate anions. The Cu^II centre is six‐coordinated by four N donors from the two pyrazole rings [Cu—N 1.998 (2) and 2.032 (3) Å] and two O atoms from the water mol­ecules occupying the apical sites [Cu—O 2.459 (3) Å]. The coordination geometry of the complex can be described as octahedral. There is a unique three‐dimensional network in which the perchlorate units are linked by a combination of strong O—H?O and weak C—H?O hydrogen bonds.     

Crosslinking behavior and enhanced mechanical properties of acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber composites by incorporating aluminum ammonium sulfate particles

The crosslinked structure formed by the metal coordination bonding provides excellent and new properties for rubber materials. Herein, the crosslinking of acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber (NBR) is induced by introducing aluminum ammonium sulfate (NH₄Al(SO₄)₂·12H₂O) particles. The crosslinking behavior, morphology, mechanical properties, and the Akron abrasion resistance of NBR/NH₄Al(SO₄)₂·12H₂O composites were fully explored. The results show that the three‐dimensional crosslinking structure is held together by metal–ligand coordination bonds between the nitrile group and AI(III). The coordination crosslink density exhibits a considerable increase with the addition of NH₄Al(SO₄)₂·12H₂O. Thus, the mechanical properties and abrasion resistance of the obtained composites are better than that of NBR/sulfur system. Interestingly, the elongation at break for NBR/NH₄Al(SO₄)₂·12H₂O composites is over 2000% due to the nature of coordination bonds. The abrasion volume loss decreases to 0.4 cm³ for NBR/NH₄Al(SO₄)₂·12H₂O composites with 20 phr NH₄Al(SO₄)₂·12H₂O particles as compared to 0.75 cm³ for NBR/sulfur system. The obtained NBR composites with facile preparation and excellent mechanical properties make the composites based on metal coordination bonding attractive for practical use. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A helical coordination polymer of zinc(II), 4‐hydroxybenzohydrazide and sulfate ions

In the structure of the novel zinc complex catena‐poly[[diaqua(4‐hydroxybenzohydrazide)zinc(II)]‐μ‐sulfato], [Zn(SO₄)(C₇H₈N₂O₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, the complex cations are linked by sulfate counter‐ions into helical polymeric chains extending along the b axis. Each helix is stabilized by six intrachain hydrogen bonds involving stronger O—H...O (1.83–2.06 Å) and weaker N—H...O (2.20–2.49 Å) interactions. The Zn^II atom displays a distorted octahedral geometry formed by the 4‐hydroxybenzohydrazide ligand, two water molecules and two SO₄²⁻ ions, which is very similar to the metal‐atom environment in a previously reported Co^II complex [Zasłona, Drożdżewski & Kubiak (2010). J. Mol. Struct. 982 , 1–8], especially the Zn—O and Zn—N bond lengths of 2.0453 (12)–2.1602 (9) and 2.1118 (12) Å, respectively.     

Crystal structure of a new supramolecular Ni(II) N 6-benzylaminopurine compound

A new mononuclear Ni(II) N ⁶-benzylaminopurine supramolecule [Ni(6-BA-H₂)₂(H₂O)₄]·(R)₂·4H₂O (1) (6-BA = N ⁶-benzylaminopurine (C₅H₂N₃NH)(NH)CH₂(C₆H₅), H₃R = 5-sulfosalicylic acid (C₆H₃)CO₂H· (OH)SO₃H) is firstly synthesized by the volatile method. Compound 1 possesses a 3D supramolecular structure built via H-bonds and π-π stacking interactions. In the structure, a mononuclear [Ni(6-BA-H₂)₂(H₂O)₄]⁶⁺ cation, in which the Ni(II) ion is 6-coordinated, bears six positive charges, and a fully deprotonated R^3? anion is located in the void surrounding the mononuclear cation to balance the charge.     

μ‐1,2‐Bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene‐κ2N:N′‐bis(tetraaqua­{4‐[2‐(4‐pyridinio)­ethenyl]pyridine‐κN}cobalt(II)) hexaaqua­cobalt(II) tetrakis(sulfate) octahydrate

The title compound, [Co₂(C₁₂H₁₁N₂)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)(H₂O)₈][Co(H₂O)₆](SO₄)₄·8H₂O, consists of bis(4‐pyridyl)ethenedicobalt(II) cations, hexaaqua­cobalt cations, sulfate anions and water solvent molecules that are linked by hydrogen bonds into a network structure. In the hexaaquacobalt cation, the six water molecules are coordinated in an octahedral geometry to the Co atom, which lies on an inversion centre. The other cation is a 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene‐bridged centrosymmetric dimer, consisting of protonated 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene cations, a bridging 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene ligand and tetraaqua­cobalt cations. Each Co atom is six‐coordinated by four water molecules and two N atoms from a protonated 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene cation and the bridging 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene ligand, and the geometry around each Co atom is octahedral.
