The reaction of N-benzoylphosphoramidic dichloride with amines afforded some new N-benzoylphos-phoric triamides with formula C₆H₅C(O)NHP(O)(X)₂, X=NH–CH(CH₃)₂ (1), NH–CH₂–CH(CH₃)₂ (2), NH–CH₂–CH(OCH₃)₂ (3), N(CH₃)[CH₂CH(OCH₃)₂] (4) and N(CH₃)(C₆H₁₁) (5) that were characterized by ¹H,¹³C,³¹P NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures have been determined for compounds 4 and 5 by X-ray crystallography. These compounds contain one amidic hydrogen atom and form centrosymmetric dimmers via intermolecular –P–O⋯H–N–hydrogen bonds besides weak C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds that lead to three-dimensional polymeric clusters in the crystalline lattice.     

New π ligand N,N,N,N′,N′,N′-hexaallylethylenediaminium (L2+): Synthesis and crystal structures of LBr2 · 2H2O and its cuprocomplexes L[CuII(Br0.45Cl3.55)], L[Cu 4I (Br4.55Cl1.45)], and L[Cu 4I Br6]

The alkylation of ethylenediamine with allyl bromide in the presence of a fourfold (with respect to ethylenediamine) molar amount of NaHCO₃ in acetone with an ethanol admixture (15: 1) affords LBr₂ · 2H₂O (I), where L²⁺ is the N,N,N,N′,N′,N′-hexaallylethylenediaminium cation. Single crystals of complexes L[Cu^II(Br_0.45Cl_3.55)] (II), L[Cu₄^I(Br_4.55Cl_1.45)] (III), and L[Cu₄^IBr₆] (IV) are prepared by ac electrochemical synthesis from an ethanolic solution of LBr₂ · 2H₂O, CuCl₂ · 2H₂O (or CuBr₂) at copper wire electrodes. The crystal structures of compounds I–IV are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals of complex I are monoclinic: space group P2₁/n, a = 8.544(3), b = 10.404(3), c = 13.350(4) ?, β = 97.29(3)°, V = 1177.2(6) ?³, Z = 2. The bromine anions in compound I are bonded to the L²⁺ cations and water molecules through hydrogen contacts (E)H…Br (E = O, C) of 2.57(3)–2.86(3) ?. The crystals of compounds II–IV are triclinic: space group P . For II: a = 8.762(4), b = 9.163(4), c = 16.500(6) ?, α = 95.62(4)°, β = 96.39(4)°, γ = 111.46(4)°, V = 1211.4(9) ?³, Z = 2; for III: a = 9.074(4), b = 9.435(4), c = 9.829(5) ?, α = 116.12(4)°, β = 104.14(4)°, γ = 100.22(4)°, V = 692.3(6) ?³, Z = 1; for IV isostructural III: a = 9.084(4), b = 9.404(4), c = 9.869(4) ?, α = 116.31(3)°, β = 104.00(3)°, γ = 100.37(3)°, V = 692.1(5) ?³, Z = 1. Unlike the isolated tetrahedral CuX₄²⁻ anion in structure II, an original chain anion (Cu₄X₆²⁻) _n is observed in the structures of π complexes III and IV. Original Russian Text ? M.M. Monchak, A.V.

The ortho-metalated complex [Pd(x){κ ² (C,N)-[C₆H₄CH₂NRR′ (Y)}] (2a–4a and 2b–3b) was prepared by refluxing in benzene equimolecular amounts of Pd(OAc)₂ and secondary benzylamine [a, EtNHCH₂Ph; b, t-BuNHCH₂Ph followed by addition of excess NaCl. The reaction of the complexes [Pd(x){κ ² (C,N)-[C₆H₄CH₂NRR′ (Y)}] (2a–4a and 2b–3b) with a stoichiometric amount of Ph₃P=C(H)COC₆H₄-4-Z (Z = Br, Ph) (ZBPPY) (1:1 molar ratio), in THF at low temperature, gives the cationic derivatives [Pd(OC(Z-4-C₆H₄C=CHPPh₃){κ ² (C,N)-[C₆H₄CH₂NRR′(Y)}] (5a–9a, 4b–6b, and 4b′–6b′), in which the ylide ligand is O-coordinated to the Pd(II) center and trans to the ortho-metalated C(6)H(4) group, in an “end-on carbonyl”. Ortho-metallation, ylide O-coordination, and C-coordination in complexes (5a–9a, 4b–6b, and 4b′–6b′) were characterized by elemental analysis as well as various spectroscopic techniques.     

Cooperative N–H···N,N–H···O,and O–H···N bonded molecular dimers of two new 3,5-diaryl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazoles

Two new 3,5-diaryl-1H-pyrazoles: 3(5)-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-5(3)-(naphthalene-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (1) and 5-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-(furan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (2) were synthesized and characterized. Two strong ions peaks [2M]⁺ and [2M + Na]⁺ observed in the ESI–MS spectra are attributed to the dimerization process in solution formed by intermolecular N–H···N hydrogen bonds. The crystal structures have been determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Compound 1 exists as a pair of tautomers 1a and 1b, and its dimer [R ₂²(6) motif] is formed by the tautomers 1a and 1b. Compound 2 only exists as a 2a tautomer, and interesting intermolecular N–H···O and O–H···N hydrogen bonds link two pyrazoles and two methanol molecules, leading to the formation of an R ₄⁴(10) dimer motif.

Two hexacoordinated mononuclear Co(III) compounds of the type cis-[Co(L)(N₃)₂] X [1, X = ClO₄; 2, X = PF₆; L = N,N′-(bis(pyridine-2-yl)benzylidine)-1,4-butanediamine] have been synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The crystal structures of complexes 1 and 2 both have distorted octahedral geometry with two terminal azides in mutual cis orientations. In the crystalline state, two mononuclear units of 1 are associated by weak C–H…π interactions to produce a dimeric unit, which packs through C–H…O hydrogen bonds and π…π interactions leading to a 2-D continuum. The mononuclear units in 2 are engaged in weak cooperative intermolecular C–H…π interactions and multiple C–H…F hydrogen bonds giving rise to a 3-D network structure. These diamagnetic compounds are redox active and show luminescence in DMF solutions.

Syntheses, structural determination and binding studies of nine-coordinate mononuclear (EnH2)1.5 [ErIII(Ttha)] · 3H2O and (EnH2)[ErIII(Egta)(H2O)]2 · 6H2O

In this work, the title complexes, (EnH₂)_1.5[Er^III(Ttha)] · 3H₂O (I) and (EnH₂)[Er^III(Egta)(H₂O)]₂ · 6H₂O (II), where En = ethylenediamine, H₆Ttha = triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′,N″,N″’,N″′-hexaacetic acid, H₄Egta = ethyleneglycol-bis-(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid, have been successfully synthesized. Their structures have been characterized by IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The X-ray diffraction reveals that I is nine-coordinated and crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal space group P2/n with cell dimensions a = 17.6058(16), b = 9.6249(9), c = 20.560(2) ?, β = 109.7440(10)°, and V = 3279.1(5) ?³. Compound II is also nine-coordinated and crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal space group P2₁/n with the cell dimensions a = 12.938(6), b = 12.651(5), c = 14.943(6) ?, β = 105.441(5)°, and V = 2357.5(17) ?³. In I, each EnH₂²⁺ cation connects three adjacent [Er^III(Egta)(H₂O)]⁻ complex anions through hydrogen bonds, while in I, there are two types of EnH₂ ²⁺ anions. One is highly symmetrical, forming hydrogen bonds with two neighboring [Er^III(Ttha)]³⁻ complex anions. The other anion connects three adjacent [Er^III(Ttha)]³⁻ complex anions through hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of 2D ladder-like layer structure.

Synthesis,properties and crystal structures of nitrobenzoatocopper(II) complexes with pyrazinecarboxamide

The synthesis, spectral characterization and crystal structures of two nitrobenzoatocopper(II) complexes, namely [Cu(2-O₂Nbz)₂(pca)₂(H₂O)₂] (1) and [Cu(3,5-(O₂N)₂bz)₂(pca)₂(H₂O)₂] (2) (where 2-O₂Nbz = 2-nitrobenzoate, 3,5-(O₂N)₂bz = 3,5-dinitrobenzoate, pca = pyrazinecarboxamide), are reported. Complexes 1 and 2 consist of centrosymmetric molecules with the Cu(II) atom monodentately coordinated by a pair of anionic 2-nitrobenzoato (1) or 3,5-dinitrobenzoato (2) ligands and a pair of pyrazinecarboxamide ligands, forming a nearly tetragonal basal plane, and by a pair of water ligands that complete the tetragonal–bipyramidal coordination polyhedron. The molecules of both complexes are linked by N–H⋯O and O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds and lie in planes, which have different orientations depending on the space group. Similar experiments with 3-nitrobenzoic acid resulted in the isolation of the hydrolysis product [Cu(pyzCOO)₂] _n (3) (pyzCOO = pyrazinecarboxylate). The known crystal structure of complex 3 has been re-determined at low temperature with significantly higher precision. The crystal packing and C–H⋯O/C–H⋯N hydrogen bonds are discussed.

The ¹H-n.m.r. spectral measurements suggest methylene, –CH₂–, in RaaiEt gives a complex AB type multiplet while in RaaiCH₂Ph it shows AB type quartets with coupling constant of avg. 6 Hz. Considering all the moities there are a lot of different carbon atoms in the molecule which gives a lot of different peaks in the ¹³C-n.m.r spectrum. In the ¹H–¹H-COSY spectrum of the present complexes and contour peaks in the ¹H–¹³C-HMQC spectrum in the present complexes, assign the solution structure and stereoretentive transformation in each step.     

Synthesis, structural characterization and thermal properties of three copper(II) complexes based on aryl hydrazide ligands

The thiosemicarbazide and hydrazide Cu(II) complexes, [Cu₃L₂¹(py)₄Cl₂] (1), [Cu(HL²)py] (2) and [Cu(HL³)py] (3), (H₂L¹ = 1-picolinoylthiosemicarbazide, H₃L² = N′-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-3-hydroxy-2-naphthohydrazide, H₃L³ = 2-hydroxy-N′-((2-hydroxy-naphthalen-1-yl)methylene)benzohydrazide) have been prepared and characterized through physicochemical and spectroscopic methods as well as X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 has a centrosymmetric structure with –N–N– bridged Cu₃ skeleton. Neighboring molecules are linked into a 3D supermolecular framework by π–π stacking interactions, N–H···Cl and C–H···Cl hydrogen bonds. Complexes 2 and 3 have similar planar structures but different dimers formed by concomitant Cu···N and Cu···O interactions, respectively. Solvent accessible voids with a volume of 391 ?³ are included in the structure of complex 2, indicating that this complex is a potential host candidate. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the three complexes are stable up to 100 °C.     

Thiocyanato-copper(II) complexes derived from a tridentate amine ligand and from alanine

Two thiocyanato-Cu(II) complexes including mononuclear dithiocyanato Cu(Me₃dpt)(NCS)₂ (1) and the polymeric 1D [Cu(d,l-Ala)(μ_N,S–NCS)(H₂O)] _n (2) were synthesized and structurally characterized (Me₃dpt = bis(N-methyl-3-propyl)methylamine, Ala = alaninate anion). The IR spectrum of complex 1 confirmed the N-bonding coordination mode of the thiocyanate groups, and its visible spectrum revealed the square pyramidal geometry around the central Cu²⁺ ion. Single X-ray crystallography of 1 showed that the Cu(II) center displays square pyramidal geometry with severe distortion toward trigonal bipyramidal environment. Complex 2 forms a 1-D polymeric chain with the NCS⁻ acting as a μ_N,S-ligand. A distorted SP geometry around the Cu²⁺ centers was achieved by the O and N atoms of alaninato anion, the aqua ligand and by the N and S atoms of the bridging thiocyanate groups. Hydrogen bonds of the type N–H···O, N–H···S and O–H···O are formed in this complex leading to the extension of the 1D chain to a supramolecular network.     

Conformational analysis of N-isopropylbenzohydroxamic acids: crystal structure, DFT, and NMR studies

X-ray crystal structure determinations together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations in vacuo and NMR studies in solution have been carried out for 4-MeOC₆H₄CONPrⁱOH 2a and 3,5-(NO₂)₂C₆H₃CONPrⁱOH 2b. The results were compared with that for the respective N-methyl benzohydroxamic acids. For crystal structures as well as for DFT-optimized geometries of 2 (both isomers) in vacuo, the effect of substituents in aromatic ring manifested by changing of charges is inconspicuous. Studies of potential energy surfaces showed that libration barrier around ω ₁ = 0° is low enough to make electron conjugation feasible, and that for 2b rotation barrier around C(O)N bond is higher by 6 kcal/mol and additionally, that rotation around N–C bond is hindered. A careful analysis of low-temperature ¹H NMR spectra confirmed the greater stability of Z-2a, the greater rigidity of E-2b and the influence of solvent on both isomers population. Despite solvent-dependent conformational alteration, both 2a and 2b crystallize exclusively as E isomers from ethyl acetate solution. Correlations of absolute ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N shielding calculations with experimental data were also analyzed.

Syntheses, structural determination, and binding studies of nine-coordinate mononuclear complexes (EnH2)3[EuIII(Etha)]2 · 11H2O and (EnH2)[EuIII(Egta)(H2O)]2 · 6H2O

Two novel ethylenediaminium salt of europium complexes with aminopolycarboxylic acid ligands, (EnH₂)₃[Eu^III(Ttha)]₂ · 11H₂O (I) (En is ethylenediamine, H₆Ttha is triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′,N″,N‴,N‴-hexaacetic acid) and (EnH₂)[Eu^III(Egta)(H₂O)]₂ · 6H₂O (II) (H₄Egta is ethyleneglycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) complexes were synthesized, and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Both of the two complexes adopt nine-coordinate structures with the pseudo-monocapped square antiprism and crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system with the P2₁/n space group. The crystal data for complex I are as follows: a = 17.8262(8), b = 19.3137(5), c = 20.6233(8) ?, β = 111.301(2)°, V = 6615.3(4) ?³, Z = 8, ρ _c = 1.677 mg/m³, μ = 1.981 mm⁻¹, F(000) = 3432, R = 0.0308, and wR = 0.0737 for 43622 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). The crystal data for complex II are as follows: a = 12.952(3), b = 12.618(2), c = 14.809(3) ?, β = 105.695(2)°, V = 2330.0(8) ?³, Z = 4, ρ _c = 1.800 mg/m³, μ = 2.765 mm⁻¹, F(000) = 1276, R = 0.0297, and wR = 0.0638 for 18416 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). One remarkable feature of the two complexes is that the protonated [EnH₂²⁺] cations conjugating to [Eu^III(Ttha)]₂⁶⁻ and [Eu^III(Egta)(H₂O)]₂²⁻ complex anions are reviewed, respectively, which open the path for the Eu^III complexes conjugating with other various biomolecules.     

Synthesis and structure of some group VII 1,2-diacyl cyclopentadiene complexes and their pyridazine derivatives

A series of 1,2-diacyl cyclopentadienyl tricarbonyl manganese and rhenium complexes, [M(CO)₃{η⁵-1,2-C₅H₃(CO-(R)₂}] (3a–c and 4a–b), were isolated utilizing a straightforward, 3-step route. The synthetic pathway began with a 1,2-diacyl cyclopentadiene (fulvene), followed by the formation of its corresponding thallium salt and transmetallation with the appropriate pentacarbonyl metal bromide. X-ray crystallographic analysis and high-accuracy mass spectrometry confirmed the structures of the both the 4-methoxyphenyl and 4-chlorophenyl diacyl rhenium complexes, [Re(CO)₃{η⁵-1,2-C₅H₃(CO-(4-OCH₃)C₆H₄)₂}] (4a) and [Re(CO)₃{η⁵-1,2-C₅H₃(CO-(4-Cl)C₆H₄)₂}] (4b). Diacyl complexes 3a–c and 4a–b were then ring-closed with hydrazine hydrate to form their corresponding pyridazine complexes, [M(CO)₃{η⁵-1,2-C₅H₃(1,4-(R)₂N₂C₂}] (5a–c and 6a–b), in good yields (60–83%). The pyridazyl ligands were found to be relatively labile, and recrystallization of the target complexes 5a–c and 6a–b afforded only the free pyridazine ligands.     

Reactivity of diacetylplatinum(II) complexes: oxidative addition of alkyl halides and crystal structures of acetyl platinum(IV) complexes

Diacetylplatinum(II) complexes [Pt(COMe)₂(N^N)] (N^N = bpy, 3a; 4,4′-t-Bu₂-bpy, 3b) were found to undergo oxidative addition reactions with organyl halides. The reaction of 3a with methyl iodide and propargyl bromide led to the formation of the cis addition products (OC-6-34)-[Pt(COMe)₂(R)X(bpy)] (R = Me, X = I, 4a; CH₂C≡CH, X = Br, 4k). Analogous reactions of 3a with ethyl iodide, benzyl bromide, and substituted benzyl bromides, 3-(bromomethyl)pyridine, 2-(bromomethyl)thiophene, allyl bromide, and cyclohex-2-enyl bromide led to exclusive formation of the trans addition products (OC-6-43)-[Pt(COMe)₂(R)X(bpy)] (X = I, R = Et, 4b; X = Br, R = CH₂C₆H₅, 4c; CH₂C₆H₄(o-Br), 4d; CH₂C₆H₄(p-COOH), 4e; CH₂-3-py (3-pyridylmethyl), 4f; CH₂-2-tp (2-thiophenylmethyl), 4g; CH₂CH=CH₂, 4h; c-hex-2-enyl (cyclohex-2-enyl), 4i). All complexes 4 were characterized by microanalysis, ¹H and ¹³C NMR and IR spectroscopy. Additionally, complexes 4a, 4f, and 4g were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Reactions of 3a and 3b with o-, m- and p-bis(bromomethyl)benzene, respectively, led to the formation of dinuclear platinum(IV) complexes [{Pt(COMe)₂Br(N^N)}₂-{μ-(CH₂)₂C₆H₄}] (5). These complexes were characterized by microanalysis, IR spectroscopy, and depending on their solubility by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, too. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of complex [{Pt(COMe)₂Br(bpy)}₂{μ-m-(CH₂)₂C₆H₄}] (5b) confirmed its dinuclear composition. The solid-state structures of 4a, 4f, 4g, and 5b are discussed in terms of C–H···O and O–H···O hydrogen bonds as well as π–π stacking between aromatic rings.     

Different orientations of C=O versus P=O in P(O)NHC(O) skeleton: the first study on an aliphatic diazaphosphorinane with a gauche orientation

Different orientations of P(O) versus C(O) in P(O)NHC(O) skeleton have been discussed in two new phosphorus(V)-nitrogen compounds with formula XP(O)Y and XP(O)Z₂ where X = NHC(O)C₆H₄(4-F) and Y = NHCH₂C(CH₃)₂CH₂NH (1), Z = NHC₆H₄(4-CH₃) (2). Compound 1 is the first example of an aliphatic diazaphosphorinane with a gauche orientation which has been studied by X-ray crystallography; the P=O bond is in the equatorial position of the ring. Both compounds show ⁿ J(F,C) and ^m J(F,H) coupling constants (n = 1, 2, 3 and 4; m = 3 and 4) and ³ J(P,C) > ² J(P,C). Quantum chemical calculations were performed with HF and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods using 6−31+G(d,p) basis set. A tentative assignment of the observed vibrational bands for these molecules is discussed. Compound 1 shows a deshielded C atom of the carbonyl moiety (in ¹³C NMR spectrum) relative to that of 2, which is supported by IR spectroscopy in which the considerably lower C=O frequency is observed for 1. Comparing the X-ray crystallography and IR spectra of 1 and 2 shows that the acyclic compound 2, containing P=O and C=O bonds in an anti position, are involving in a stronger N–H···O=P hydrogen bond in crystal network. This leads to a weaker P=O and N_C(O)NHP(O)–H bonds and stronger N···O interaction. The N_amide–H is involved in an intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bond.

The (NH₄)₃[Yb^III(ttha)]·5H₂O (I) (H₆ttha = triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′,N″,N‴,N‴-hexaacetic acid) and (NH₄)[Yb^III(pdta)(H₂O)₂]·5H₂O (II) (H₄pdta = propylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) complexes are synthesized by heat-refluxing and acidity-adjusting methods, and their structures are determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. These two complexes are all mononuclear structures. The complex I crystallizes in ttha monoclinic crystal system with the P2₁/c space group. The central Yb^III ion is nine-coordinated only by one the ligand, and one non-coordinate carboxyl group is left. The crystal data are as follows: a = 10.321(4) ?, b = 12.744(5) ?, c = 23.203(9) ?, β = 91.082(6)°, V = 3051(2) ?³, Z = 4, D _c = 1.754 g/cm³, μ = 3.150 mm⁻¹, F(000) = 1636, R = 0.0357, and wR = 0.0672 for 6203 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). The YbN₄O₅ part in the [Yb^III(ttha)]³⁻ complex anion forms a pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic polyhedron. The complex II is coordinated with one pdta ligand and two water molecules, which form an eight-coordinate structure, and crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system with the P[`1]P\bar 1 space group. The YbN₂O₆ part in the [Yb^III(pdta)(H₂O)₂]⁻ complex anion makes a pseudo-square antiprismatic polyhedron. The crystal data are as follows: a = 9.8923(9)?, b = 10.9627(10) ?, c = 12.2618(11) ?, α = 67.284(5)°, β = 70.956(6)°, γ = 68.741(5)°, V = 1115.97(18) ?³, Z = 2, D _c = 1.843 g/cm³, μ = 4.264 mm⁻¹, F(000) = 618, R = 0.0177, and wR = 0.0409 for 4036 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I).     

1-Allyl derivatives: Synthesis and crystal structures for [(NH2C5H4N(C3H5))2Cu3Cl3(NO3)2] and [C9H7N(C3H5)Cu(NO3)2]

1-Allyl-4-aminopyridinium chloride reacts with Cu(NO₃)₂ · 3H₂O in an ethanolic solution under the conditions of ac electrochemical synthesis at copper electrodes to form crystals of compound [(NH₂C₅H₄N(C₃H₅))₂Cu₃Cl₃(NO₃)₂] (I). The crystals of compound I are monoclinic: space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 25.770(7), b = 7.230(4), c = 12.505(5) ?, β = 92.58(3)°, V = 2328(2) ?³. The direct interaction of 1-allylquinolinium nitrate with Cu(NO₃)₂ · 3H₂O in a methanolic solution in the presence of metallic copper yields crystals of compound [C₉H₇N(C₃H₅)Cu(NO₃)₂] (II). The crystals of compound II are triclinic: space group P , a = 6.756(3), b = 8.391(4), c = 12.489(5) ?, α = 77.18(3)°, β = 89.48(4)°, γ = 73.32(3)°, V = 662.0(5) ?³. The structure of compound I is built of infinite linear anions: polymeric fragments {(NH₂C₅H₄N(C₃H₅))₂Cu₃Cl₃(NO₃)₂} _n . Each of two copper atoms (Cu(1) and Cu(2)) π-coordinates the C=C bonds of the allyl groups of the 1-allyl-4-aminopyridinium cations, the oxygen atom of the nitrate ions, and two chlorine atoms. The third copper atom Cu(3) is linearly linked with two chlorine atoms. Particular polymeric fragments are additionally joined by the N-H…O, C-H…O, C-H…Cl hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure of compound II is built-up of the isolated L₂Cu₂(NO₃)₄ fragments (L is the 1-allylquinolinium cation). The metal atom is localized in the trigonal pyramidal coordination environment of three oxygen atoms of the nitrate ions and of the C=C bond of the allyl group of the cation. The particular L₂Cu₂(NO₃)₄ fragments are additionally joined by the C-H…O hydrogen bonds. Original Russian Text ? A.V. Pavlyuk, T. Lis, M.G.
