The hydrated 1:1 adducts of an olefinic double betaine with perchloric and nitric acids, L·HClO₄·H₂O I and L·HNO₃·N₂O2 [L=cis-(p-Me₂N⁺C₅H₄N)₂C₂(COO^–)₂], have been shown to be nearly isostructural by X-ray crystallography and infrared spectroscopy. The common cationic unit HL⁺ of both compounds exhibits significant semi-quinonoid character and possesses symmetrym, ist two coplanar carboxylate groups being linked by a very strong, nearly linear intramolecular O–H–O hydrogen bond [O...O 2.397(9)Å and O–H–O 167.1° for1; 2.388(7)Å and 167.4° for2]. The HL⁺ units are further connected by intermolecular O–H...O hydrogen bonds between the exocyclic carboxyl oxygen atoms and the water molecules to generate polymeric zigzag chains running parallel to thec axis, and the disordered ClO₄ or NO ₃ ^– anions occupy channels running parallel to thea axis in the resulting host lattice.

Pyridine-2,6-Dicarboxylic Acid (Dipic): Crystal Structure from Co-Crystal to a Mixed Ligand Nickel(II) Complex

Abstract  

Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (dipic) was used for the synthesis of a co-crystal with 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (phen-dione) and a nickel(II) complex. The co-crystal dipic·phen-dione·4H₂O (1) has been synthesized and studied by X-ray crystallography. The structure is stabilized with hydrogen bonds between dipic, H₂O and phen-dione. It is surprising that there is no direct hydrogen bonding between phen-dione and dipic and yet the molecules co-crystallize in aqueous solution. A new complex of nickel(II), [Ni(phen)(dipic)(H₂O)]·4H₂O (2), (where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental and thermogravimetric analyses, FT-IR, UV–Vis and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. The structure of (2) has been studied by X-ray crystallography. The coordination around Ni(II) is a distorted octahedron. The crystal packing shows that the dimensionality of (2) is enlarged to 3D, through hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions. Cyclic voltammetry of (2) shows that the Ni(II/I) couple is irreversible.     

Organic/inorganic hybrid compound: α-Dodecamolybdophosphoric acid–3-(4,5-diazafluoren-one)-3–water

In the title compound (C₁₁H₆N₂O)₃·H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀·3H₂O(1), the -dodecamolybdophosphoric acid residue has the Keggin structure, with M–O distance ranging between 1.673(5) and 2.464(4) Å. The water molecules are involved in O–H···N and O–H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the diazafluoren moiety and -dodecamolybdophosphoric acid respectively while the diazafluoren moiety and -dodecamolybdophosphoric acid are connected through C–H···O interactions. The O–H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds form infinite chains of Mo₁₂O₄₀ units in which N···O contacts interconnect the chains to form layers.     

Redetermination of the crystal structure of [Na4(H2O)14]SnS4: a compound containing a novel chain of aquated sodium ions

[Na₄(H₂O)₁₄]SnS₄ is obtained by the reaction of Na₂S·9H₂O with SnCl₄·5H₂O in aqueous solution at 21°C. It crystallizes in the space group Cc with a = 8.621(2) Å, b = 23.543(5) Å, c = 11.358(2) Å, = 110.58(3)° and V = 2158.2 ų with Z = 2. Refinement of 3826 unique reflections from a racemically twinned crystal yielded a final value of R₁ = 0.0464 (|F| > 4) and wR₂ = 0.104 and a goodness of fit of 1.125. The structure consists of a Na⁺/H₂O network supporting the tetrahedral SnS₄ ^4– anions. Water molecules or sulfide ions octahedrally coordinate each of the four crystallographically independent Na⁺ ions. The dominant feature of the structure is the existence of zigzag chains of edgeshared Na octahedra. These chains are tied together into a three-dimensional network by bridging Na(H₂O)₆ octahedra and individual H₂O molecules.

Structure of an unusual, 8-coordinate,exclusive cryptate of ytterbium(III) containing multiple nitrato andN-thiocyanato ligands

The first example of an 8-coordinate cryptate of cryptand(2,2,2) [N(CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂)₃N], Yb³⁺, and multiple nitrato andN-thiocyanato ligands, H₂Yb(NCS)₃(NO₃)₂(2,2,2)·H₂O (I), has been synthesized. The crystal and molecular structure ofI have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Yb³⁺ cation is not located in the cavity of the cryptand(2,2,2), but is connected to it through a water bridge by two hydrogen bonds to form an exclusive cryptate. The two H⁺ ions are mostly probably bound to the two N atoms of cryptand(2,2,2). The coordinating atoms of the NO ₃ ^– , NCS^–, and H₂O ligands constitute a trigonododecahedron around the central Yb³⁺ ion. CryptateI crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2_l/n withZ=4. The finalR factor for 3659 independent reflections, following correction for Lorentz and polarization effects and havingF ₀>5(F ₀), is 0.053. Infrared spectroscopic data for1 are consistent with the X-ray crystal structure results.Presented, in part, at 2nd International Conference on Rare Earth Development and Application, Beijing, China, May 27–31, 1991.

The title compounds, [H₃O⁺·18-crown-6][FeCl ₄ ^– ] (1), and [H₃O⁺·18-crown-6]₂[CoCl ₄ ^2– ] (2), were prepared by air oxidation of Fe(CO)₅ for1, and Co₂(CO)₈ for2, in the presence of 18-crown-6, H₂O and HCl(g) in toluene. Liquid clathrates formed immediately for both species:1·4.3 C₇H₈ and2·3.7 C₇H₈.1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁ma witha=10.357(1),b=11.824(1),c=8.961(1) Å, andD _c=1.46 g cm^–3 forZ=2.

Di-hydroxy malonic acid as a building block of hydrogen-bonded 3-dimensional architectures

An examination of the crystal structures of di-hydroxy malonic acid 1 (P2₁/na = 5.384(2), b = 6.268(2), c = 14.354(8) Å, = 103.57(3)°) and N-ethylbenzylammonium di-hydroxy hydrogenmalonate 2 (P2₁2₁2₁ a = 13.373(2), b = 15.342(4), c = 18.741(4) Å,) has highlighted the influence of directional O–H···O interactions in the assembly of hydroxy-substituted dicarboxylic acids. The complementarity of carboxylic and hydroxy groups in 1 creates a very dense 3-D structure (D _c = 1.919 g cm^–3) through four O–H···O hydrogen bonds. In 2, the anions form infinite, spiraling chains created by head-to-tail O–H···O hydrogen bonds. Neighbouring chains are crosslinked into a complex 3-D anionic network with channels parallel to a and b. The cations are positioned within these channels and held in place via two N–H···O interactions.

The structure was solved by conventional Patterson and Fourier techniques, and refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to a final agreement factor of 3.6%. The compound contains two crystallographically independent octahedral [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ ions, with an average Co—N distance of 1.966(6) Å, and a seven-coordinate sodium ion which is coordinated to four carboxyl oxygens, two amine nitrogens, and a water molecule which bridges to another sodium ion. The EDTA is therefore acting in its normal hexadentate manner. The range of Na—O distances is 2.25 to 2.93 Å whereas the Na—N distance is 2.46 Å. The crystal structure is additionally stabilized by extensive hydrogen bonding among coordinated ammonias, carboxyl oxygens, and water molecules.     

Metal-betaine interactions. IV. Crystal structures of trans-tetraaquabis(betaine)nickel(II) nitrate and trans-diaquatetrakis(pyridine betaine)cobalt(II) bis[trichloro(pyridine betaine)cobaltate(II)]

Two transition metal(II) complexes of betaine (Me₃N⁺CH₂COO^–, designated as BET) and pyridine betaine (C₅H₅N⁺CH₂COO^–, pyBET) have been prepared and investigated by X-ray crystallography and infrared spectroscopy. [Ni(BET)₂(H₂O)₄] (NO₃)₂ (1), (R _F=0.054 for 2518 observed MoK data) comprises slightly distorted octahedral [Ni(BET)₂(H₂O)₄]²⁺ cations in which the Ni(II) atom is centrosymmetrically coordinated by four aqua ligands and twotrans-related unidentate BET ligands, and the uncoordinated carboxy oxygens form intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the aqua ligands.

In the centrosymmetric cation each of the twotrans-related aqua ligands form a pair of intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the uncoordinated oxygen atoms of two unidentate pyBET ligands. In the anion the cobalt atom is coordinated by one unidentate pyBET ligand and three chloro ligands.     

Crystal structures of N-(2-aminoethyl)-1-naphthaleneneacetamide nitrate and hydrogen tartrate dihydrate

Nitrate (1): C₁₄H₁₇N₂O⁺·NO ₃ ^– , orthorhombic, Pbca,Z=8,a=9.6924(4),b=27.664(2) andc=10.8589(6)Å.Hydrogen tartrate dihydrate (2): C₁₄H₁₇N₂O⁺·C₄H₅O ₆ ^– ·2H₂O, orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁,Z=4,a=7.6703(5),b=7.9368(4) andc=31.953(2)Å. In the solid state, cation conformation differ due to molecular flexibility, very different anionic environments, and resultant hydrogen bonding patterns. Despite these differences, the two structures maintain the same separations (about 7.35 Å) of the two most distant potential pharmacophoric groups, i.e., the aromatic ring and the protonated amine group.     

First example of cocrystals of polymorphic maleic hydrazide

The first cocrystals of polymorphic maleic hydrazide with 3-methyluracil have been studied by X-ray diffraction methods. They crystallize in the orthorhombic system, space group Pmcn, a = 6.440 (1) Å, b = 6.974 (1) Å, c = 22.829 (11) Å, V = 1025.3 (5) ų, Z = 4. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of each compound. Planar ribbons of the (1:1) molecular complex are obtained through the formation of O–H···O and O–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds, just forming a well-known R² ₂(8) supramolecular synthon. Supramolecular assemblies are then formed by weak C–H···O and C–H···N hydrogen bonds through adjacent antiparallel ribbons.

The structures of anionic pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato (pdc^2–) complexes of cobalt, nickel, and copper have been studied. The stoichiometries and structures are very much dependent on whether KOH, Et₄NOH, or NaOH is used in the synthesis to deprotonate the H₂pdc ligand. Crystallographic results are: (1) K₂[Co(pdc)₂] · 7H₂O, orthorhombic, Pnna, Z = 4, a = 20.637(2)Å, b = 13.480(1)Å, c = 8.200(1)Å (2) K₂[Ni(pdc)₂] · 7H₂O, orthorhombic, Pnna, Z = 4, a = 20.648(1)Å, b = 13.375(1)Å, c = 8.2393(8)Å (3) [Co₂(H₂O)₅(pdc)₂] · 2H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 8.3880(6)Å, b = 27.384(2)Å, c = 9.6110(8)Å, = 98.271(6)° (4) [Ni(Hpdc)₂] · 3H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 13.679(1)Å, b = 10.0450(9)Å, c = 13.767(2)Å, = 115.184(7)° (5) Na₆[Co(H₂O)₆][Co(pdc)₂]₄ · 28H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z = 2, a = 13.363(1)Å, b = 8.437(1)Å, c = 40.689(3)Å, = 91.288(5)° (6) Na[Ni(Hpdc)(pdc)] · 11.5H₂O, monoclinic, C2/m, Z = 4, a = 15.200(2)Å, b = 22.299(2)Å, c = 8.3596(7)Å, = 118.894(7)° (7) Na[Cu(Hpdc)(pdc)] · 3H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z = 4, a = 9.516(4)Å, b = 14.917(6)Å, c = 12.247(5)Å, = 92.00(5)°. The potassium and sodium complexes have extensive K⁺—H₂O and Na⁺—H₂O networks. The fact the Et₄N⁺ ion does not appear in any of the complexes is likely due to the fact that it is incapable of forming the intricate cation—water and hydrogen-bonding networks observed in all of the other structures.

The crystalline dihydrate and hydrochloride trihydrate of a new betaine, namely, L·2H₂O (1) and [L₂H]Cl·3H₂O(2) (L=p-Me₂NC₅H₄N⁺CH₂CO₂), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Molecule L in compound1 [space groupPbcn, witha=15.732(3),b=7.894(2),c=18.304(4) Å, andZ=8] possesses approximateC _s symmetry. The formation of hydrogen bonds by water molecules bridging neighboring carboxy oxygen atoms leads to an infinite two-dimensional network composed of a packing of two different kinds of 12-membered rings. In compound2 [space group PT witha=7.341(2),b=9.543(2),c=17.010(4) Å, =82.43(2)°, =80.34(2)°, =74.05(2)°, andZ=2], the carboxylate groups of a pair of betaine molecules are bridged by a proton to form a dimeric cation L₂H⁺ with a very strong asymmetric hydrogen bond of length 2.464(7) Å. The crystal structure features a hydrogen-bonded corrugated ribbon comprising an alternate arrangement of edge-sharing centrosymmetric (H₂O)₄(Cl^–)₂ and (H₂O)₄ rings running parallel to thea axis.     

Helical chirality of 1-phenacyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium bromides

Evidence for non-coplanarity of the pyridine and pyridinium rings in a series of 1-phenacyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium bromides was gleaned from ¹H-NMR data recorded in DMSO-d ₆ solution. The X-ray structure of 1-(4-chlorophenacyl)-1,10-phenanthrolinium bromide, as representative of this series, was determined in order to establish whether such a molecular distortion occurs in the solid state. The title compound crystallizes in the space group C2/c as a sesquihydrate of formula C₂₀H₁₄BrClN₂O·1.5H₂O with a = 35.7348(3) Å, b = 5.3468(1) Å, c = 21.7312(2) Å, = 116.4076(4)° and Z = 8. In the crystal, the helical chirality is manifested as a pronounced twist in the phenanthrolinium moiety, with the pyridine and pyridinium rings inclined at 6.8(2)°. This distortion is attributed to intramolecular hydrogen bonding of type C–H···N involving the methylene group and the uncharged nitrogen atom of the phenanthrolinium moiety. In the crystal, the cations surround an intricate array of water molecules and bromide ions held together by O–H···Br^– hydrogen bonds and comprising infinite chains ···Br^–···H–O–H···Br^–···, cross-linked by water molecules.
