Synthesis and crystal structure of two novel nickel (imidazole) complexes having hydrogen-bonded networks

Two nickel (imidazole) complexes, Ni(im)₆Cl₂·4H₂O (1) and Ni(im)₆(NO₃)₂ (2) (im=imidazole) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV, TG and single crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a=8.800(6) Å, b=9.081(6) Å, c=10.565(7) Å, =75.058(9)°, β=83.143(8)°, γ=61.722(8)°, V=718.3(8) Å³, Z=1 and R₁ (wR₂)=0.0469 (0.1497). 2 crystallizes in the trigonal space group R-3 with a=12.370(6) Å, b=12.370(6) Å, c=14.782(14) Å, =90.00°, β=90.00°, γ=120.00°, V=1959(2) Å³, Z=3 and R₁ (wR₂)=0.0358 (0.0955). 1 and 2 exhibit different supramolecular network due to their different counter anions and different hydrogen bonding connection. In compound 1, [Ni(im)₆]²⁺ cation and counter anions Cl⁻ alternatively array in an ABAB fashion via N–HCl hydrogen bonding. In compound 2, the plane of each NO₃²⁻ is almost parallel and each NO₃²⁻ connect three different [Ni(im)₆]²⁺ cations via N–HO hydrogen bonding.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a nickel(II) complex containing a 2-pyridyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxide

A new complex of formula [Ni(NIT2Py)₂Cl(H₂O)]Cl·2CH₃OH, where NIT2Py is 2-(2′-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide, was synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. The structure consists of a [Ni(NIT2Py)₂Cl(H₂O)]⁺ ion, a chloride anion and two methanol molecules. The nickel(II) ion lies in a distorted octahedral environment; two nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms from NIT2Py ligands from the basal plane; one oxygen atom from a water molecule and one chloride anion occupy axial positions. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data show that there is strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the nickel(II) ion and nitronyl nitroxide radicals. The results suggest that the sign of the magnetic interaction depends on structural and ligand effects.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and DFT analysis of a new trinuclear complex of copper

The new trinuclear complex [Cu₂(μ-L)₂CuCl₂] has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and X-ray spectroscopy, where L is a dianionic tetradentate Schiff base ligand with N₂O₂ donor atoms. The molecular structure of [Cu₂(μ-L)₂CuCl₂] was determined by X-ray crystallography. In the complex, the most remarkable aspect of the trinuclear complex is that it adopts a bent structure for the three copper atoms, with a Cu1Cu3Cu2 intramolecular angle of approximately 90.62(2)°. All three copper atoms are five coordinate, with a slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry. In the two terminals moieties, the basal plane of the square pyramidal is formed by two oxygen atoms and two nitrogen atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and the apical position at the Cu atom is occupied by the bridging Cl1 anion. The Cu1Cl1Cu2 angle is 110.51(5)°. The central copper atom also has a five-coordinate, slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry, with four phenolato oxygens belonging to the Schiff base ligands from Cu(salpn) units describing the square planar base and the Cl anions being apical. The optimized structure of the complex has been studied using the B3LYP/6-31G(d)/LanL2TZf level of theory. The calculation shows that all the copper atoms are five coordinate with distorted square pyramidal structures, which is consistent with experimental data.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of cobalt and nickel complexes of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine

2?:?1 (L?:?M) Complexes of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (dhmp) with different Co(II) salts [CoCl₂·6H₂O, Co(SCN)₂, Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, CoSO₄·7H₂O and Co(OTos)₂·6H₂O] and Ni(II) salts [NiCl₂·6H₂O, Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, NiSO₄·7H₂O and Ni(OTos)₂·6H₂O] have been prepared (1–9) and studied by infrared spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Influences on the distortion of the coordination polyhedron, the arrangement of the donor atoms and the packing structure of the complexes were investigated in terms of the different kinds of anions and cations. In the metal chloride Complexes 1 and 2, water of hydration was found, while in Complex 3 the counterion (SCN^–) acts as a ligand. The crystal structures of all complexes, except 3, show N₂O₄ hexacoordinated metal ions; in 3 the coordination environment is N₄O₂. Complex 1 is another exception in containing cobalt(III) instead of cobalt(II) as for the other complexes with cobalt salts. Logically, in Complex 1, one of the dhmp ligands is mono-deprotonated. In the neutral Complexes 2 and 4–9, the basal planes of the octahedra are made up of O donors and N atoms occupy the axial positions. In 1 as well as in 3, two N and two O atoms form the base, but in 1 O, and in 3 N atoms are on the axis of the coordination sphere. Moreover, the nickel Complexes 2, 5, 7 and 9 are more symmetrical in structure than the cobalt Complexes 1, 4, 6 and 8, in accordance with the Jahn–Teller effect. Packing structures of the complexes show specific interactions based on strong and weak H-bonds that involve the counterions, hydroxy groups and aromatic units, leading to extended network structures.

In an attempt to prepare binary and ternary compounds, we have obtained two molecular complexes [Ni(MEBIDA or MOBIDA)(H₂O)₃]·nH₂O (n = 0 or 1) and two iso-type salts [Ni(Him)₆][Ni(MEBIDA or MOBIDA)₂]·4H₂O [MEBIDA = N-(p-methylbenzyl)iminodiacetate(2−) and MOBIDA = N-(p-methoxybenzyl)iminodiacetate(2−) ligands, Him = imidazole]. Our results are discussed with regard to related copper(II) and nickel(II) compounds. The reasons for which these chelating ligands produce nickel(II) salts instead of ternary compounds remain unclear since other iminodiacetate-like ligands give true ternary Ni(II) compounds with imidazole and other N-heterocyclic ligands.
