Crystal and molecular structure of bis(N-ethanol-2-oxy-1-naphthylideneaminato)copper(II)

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupp2₁ witha=5.5406(4),b=17.0461(9),c=11.3762(6) Å,=93.99(1)°, andZ=2.

Crystal and molecular structure of bis(imazapyr)diaqua copper(II)

The imidazolinone herbicide imazapyr, 2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2-yl)nicotinic acid (H₂imz) interacts with Cu(II) leading to [Cu(Himz)₂(H₂O)₂] which crystallizes in the space group Pbca, with a = 12.5370(3) Å, b = 19.8500(5) Å, c = 22.7720(9) Å, and Z = 8.

A 1:1:2 complex between 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam), anthraflavic acid, and water

A 1:1:2 complex of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam), anthraflavic acid, and water has been obtained and characterized by X-ray diffraction. C₂₄H₃₆N₄O₆, monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 11.966(1) Å, b = 11.570(1) Å, c = 9.604(1) Å, = 107.16(1)°,V = 1270.5(2) ų, Z = 2. Two of the four N atoms of the macrocyclic ring are protonated, and the corresponding anthraflavic acid exists as a dianion. The following types of H-bonding have been found in this complex: (1) between protonated NH groups of the macrocycle and O atoms of the ionized anthraflavic hydroxyls; (2) between protonated and nonprotonated NH groups of the macrocycle; (3) between the water molecules and O atoms of the ionized anthraflavic hydroxyls. The above interactions give rise to the formation of a 2D-supramolecular network in the cyclam complex; however, the major difference from the azamacrocyclic anthraflavates studied previously is that there is no direct interaction between the anthraflavic anions.Deceased     

A structural study of copper(II) carboxylates: Crystal structure and physical characterisation of [Cu2(2-bromopropanoato)4(caffeine)2]

Based on the bond-valence sum model the continual transition between the bidentate and monodentate bonding mode of carboxylato group and minimum of Cu–O bond lengths were estimated. The dependence of Cu⋯Cu separation on Cu–N bond length in binuclear Cu(II) carboxylates with caffeine were derived and fitted to the observed data. The crystal structure of [Cu₂(2-bromopropanoato)₄(caffeine)₂] has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure consists of centrosymmetric binuclear units where the two Cu atoms are coordinated by four disordered bridging 2-bromopropionates and two caffeine ligands at the apices of a bicapped square prism. Both 2-bromopropionates show disorder of their –Br and –CH₃ substituents. Stacking π·π interactions between the adjacent caffeine molecules link the complex units in 1-D networks. The binuclear structure of the studied compound is consistent with magnetic data and EPR spectrum.

Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structure of an iron(II) 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane macrocyclic complex

The synthesis and detailed characterization of the macrocyclic complex [Fe(meso)(CH₃CN)₂](ClO₄)₂·2CH₃CN (meso: 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) based on analytical, spectrometric, spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods are reported herein. This is the first single crystal structure of an iron-meso complex ever reported in the literature. The molecular structure revealed a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry with the iron(II) bound to four amine nitrogens in the equatorial plane, while the apical positions are occupied by acetonitrile molecules. The macrocycle adopts the most stable conformation with the six-membered rings in chair form, while the gauche conformation is seen for the five-membered rings. The compound crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n, with cell parameters a=10.139(1), b=12.237(1), c=13.311(1) ?, β=99.542(2)° and Z=2.Supplementary material CCDC-239983 contains the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper.

Crystal and molecular structure of the triflate salt of diprotonated 1,4,8,11-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, [C10H22N4(CH2CH2OH)4 2+]−[CF3SO3 −]2: geometry of a diprotonated octadenate ligand

The title complex crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2₁/n with Z=2. The cation is the diprotonated derivative of the neutral octadentate macrocyclic ligand C₁₀H₂₀N₄(CH₂CH₂OH)₄; the two protonated nitrogen atoms are as far apart as is possible in the 14-membered ring (1-and 8-positions) so as to minimize electrostatic repulsions. Each of the [C₁₀H₂₂N₄(CH₂CH₂OH)₄ ²⁺] cations is involved in hydrogen bonding (through the four hydroxy groups) to oxygen atoms on four different peripheral [CF₃SO₃ ⁻] anions.

The structure of di(2-Methylbenzotriazole) sulphate, (C₇N₃H₉)₂SO₄, has been solved by X-ray diffraction methods. The compound crystallises in triclinic space group P witha=6.986(1),b=18.914(1),c=6.990(1) Å, =95.083 (1), =115.56 (1) and =84.93(1)^o, respectively.M _r=362.36,F(000)=380,Z=2,D _m=1.45 mg m^–3, finalR=0.060,R _w=0.064. The structure was solved by direct methods (SHELXS86) and refined by least-squares methods. Dimers of planar 2-Methylbenzotriazole (MBT) molecules form stacks, one along thea-axis and the other parallel to thec-axis. The SO ₄ ^–2 ions are confined by the two sets of stacks and are responsible for holding them together. The structure is mainly stabilized by the stacking forces. The average interplanar distances in any stack are 3.281 Å, within a dimer, and 3.361 Å, between the dimers.     

Substituted phenols as ligands III: Crystal and molecular structure of bis(4-formyl-2-methoxyphenolato)bis(pyridine)copper(II) monohydrate

Bis(4-formyl-2-methoxyphenolato)bis(pyridine)copper(II) monohydrate crystallizes in the triclinic system:a = 10·432,b = 9·342,c = 13·799 Å, = 103·75, = 100·53, = 100·81 °,Z = 2, space groupP¯1.The structure was determined by Fourier methods with Cuk diffractometer data, and refined by a combination of block-diagonal and full-matrix least squares toR = 0·068 for 2430 observed reflexions.The copper atoms occupy the special positions 0, 0, 0 and 0,1/2, 1/2; hence, both molecules are centrosymmetric. Both the methoxy and phenolic oxygen atoms of the phenolate ions coordinate to the metal. These, together with coordinated nitrogen atoms from the pyridine molecules, give the copper atoms a six-fold coordination.Hydrogen bonding between a water molecule and the phenolic oxygen atoms of adjacent molecules results in chains of molecules linked approximately along [011].
