Synthesis and crystal structures of four nickel(II) 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonate compounds

Four nickle(II) 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonate (1,5nds) complexes, namely [Ni(H₂O)₆] (1,5nds) (1), trans-[Ni(en)₂(H₂O)₂](1,5nds)·2H₂O (2), [Ni(tren)(H₂O)₂](1,5nds)·H₂O (3), and [Ni(dien)₂](1,5nds)·2H₂O (4), where en = ethylenediamine, tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, and dien = diethylenetriamine, have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Compound 1 crystallizes in space group P2₁/c, with a = 13.200(2) Å, b = 6.6197(10) Å, c = 9.6001(14) Å, and = 92.005(3)° compound 2 crystallizes in space group C2/c, with a = 15.698(2) Å, b = 13.006(2) Å, c = 12.845(2) Å, and = 119.262(4) Å compound 3 crystallizes in space group P , with a = 8.8971(10) Å, b = 11.5440(13) Å, c = 11.9169(14) Å, = 77.254(2)°, = 74.079(2)°, and = 82.162(2)° compound 4 crystallizes in space group P2₁/c, with a = 10.3600(13) Å, b = 12.5650(16) Å, c = 9.9853(12) Å, and = 103.599(2)°. Compound 1 crystallizes in a typical inorganic–organic layered structure adopted by metal naphthalenesulfonate, while compounds 2–4 crystallize in a hybrid inorganic–organic pattern. Unlike their Cu²⁺ analogue, the sulfonate does not coordinate directly to Ni²⁺. The hydrogen bonds formed between sulfonate and water molecules are the predominant packing forces for all structures. The inherited inversion center of the 1,5nds anion is carried into the crystal structure and results in centrosymmetric crystallization of all compounds.     

Molecular structures of M(tfac)3 (M=Al, Co) and Cu(H2O)(fod)2: Examples of unusual supramolecular architecture

The molecular structures of Al(tfac)₃ (1), Co(tfac)₃ (2) (H-tfac = 1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetone) and Cu(H₂O)(fod)₂ (3) (H-fod = 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-hepta-fluoro-7,7-dimethyloctane-4,6-dione) have been determined. The metal coordination spheres in compounds 1 and 2 are essentially the same as the respective M(acac)₃ derivatives. Despite the isomorphous nature of the structures of compounds 1 and 2, the identity of the nearest intermolecular van der Waals contacts are altered by minor changes in the metal coordination sphere. The geometry about copper in compound 3 is close to that of an ideal square bipyramid with the -diketonate ligands occupying the basal plane. The water ligand in each molecule of compound 3 is hydrogen bonded to an oxygen of a -diketonate ligand on an adjacent molecule resulting in the formation of dimers, which form rods along the y-axis due to weak C–F···Cu interactions.
