The cyano-bridged heteronuclear polymeric complex, [Cd(teta)Ni(μ-CN)₂(CN)₂] · 2H₂O (1), (teta = triethylenetetraamine) was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pccn. The asymmetric unit also contains two uncoordinated water molecules. The coordination geometry around the Cd(II) centre is a highly distorted octahedral. In the crystal structure, intramolecular N–H···O and intermolecular N–H···O, O–H···O and O–H···N hydrogen bonds, beside the cyano-bridged chains made up of tetracyanonickelate ions coordinated to Cd(II) ions, where the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by four cyanoligands in a square-planar arrangement, link the molecules into polymeric networks parallel to (001) plane, where the hydrogen bonded water molecules occupy the cavities between the layers. The FT-IR spectrum was reported in the 4,000–400 cm⁻¹ region. Vibration assignments were given for all the observed bands and the spectral feature also supported the structure of the polymeric complex. The decomposition reaction takes place in the temperature range 20–1,000 °C in the static air atmosphere.     

Crystal structure of Li(H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O)<Subscript>3</Subscript>[GaEdta]

The ethylenediaminetetraacetate complex Li(H₂O)₃[Ga(Edta)] was synthesized and its crystal structure composed of octahedral (Ga(Edta)⁻ anions connected to the Li(H₂O)₃⁺ ion through the oxygen atom was studied. Five of the six hydrogen atoms of water molecules are involved in weak hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms of four Ga(Edta)⁻ complexes, the complex anion is hydrogen-bonded to five water molecules. In addition, shortened contacts C(221)–H(22A)…O(112) between the Ga(Edta)⁻ anions were found. As a result, the molecular packing in the crystal is determined by the three-dimensional lace of hydrogen bonds. The results are compared with published data for the lithium salts of Bi(III), Sb(III), Fe(III), Ni(II), and Hg(II) ethylenediaminetetraacetates.     

The synthesis,crystal structure and thermal studies of a mixed-ligand 1,10-phenanthroline and hexamethylenetetramine complex of lanthanum nitrate. Insight into coordination sphere geometry changes of lanthanide(III) 1,10-phenanthroline complexes

The structure of tetraaqua-bis(nitrato-O,O′)-(1,10-phenanthroline-N,N′)-lanthanum(III) 1,3,5,7-tetraazatricyclo[3.3.1.1^3,7]decane nitrate dihydrate, [La(NO₃)₂ · phen · (H₂O)₄]⁺ · hmt · NO ₃ ⁻ · 2H₂O, is presented. The lanthanum ion exhibits tenfold coordination and the polyhedron can be described as tetradecahedron. The complex cations, nitrate ions, water and hexamethylenetetramine molecules are assembled via hydrogen bonds, H–π rings and π–π stacking interactions into 3D supramolecular network. The bond strength of coordination sphere was calculated by means of the bond-valence method. The influence of La:phen stoichiometry and additional ligand on the changes of lanthanum(III) coordination sphere geometry in ten-coordinated complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline was discussed. The infrared spectrum of structure optimised by means of quantum mechanical calculations was analysed and compared with measured one. The obtained compound was characterised by thermogravimetric analysis in conjunction with evolved gases in the air atmosphere.     

Coordination behaviour of 2,2′-bipyridine towards the dichloroacetates of zinc and cadmium

The coordiantion compounds [Zn(C₁₀H₈N₂)(Cl₂HCCOO)(H₂O)₃]⁻·[Zn(C₁₀H₈N₂)(Cl₂HCCOO)₃]⁺ and [Cd(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(Cl₂CHCOO)₂] were synthesised and characterised by elemental and thermal analysis, IR and UV–VIS spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The complexes are air stable and well-soluble in water. The zinc atoms are five and six coordinated and the cadmium atom is six coordinated. The coordination polyhedra of central atoms can be described as trapezoidal pyramid and octahedron in zinc compound and as rectangular bipyramid strongly distorted towards skew trapezoidal bipyramid in cadmium compound. In both compounds all dichloroacetate groups are monodentate. The bond valences considerations show that all 2,2′-bipyridine molecules are bonded almost 2 times stronger than carboxylate groups. In the structure of zinc compound exist O–H···O hydrogen bonds and in both structures can be found weak C–H···O hydrogen bonds. Additionally, both compounds are pile-stacked by π···π interactions. The IR spectra show typical vibrations for chelating 2,2′-bipyridine molecules and terminal monodentate carboxylate groups. The thermal decomposition studies show zinc compound decomposes in 4 steps and cadmium compound decomposes in 5 steps with formation of oxides as a final products. The ligands decompose gradually, first dichloroacetates and next 2,2′-bipyridine.     

The structure and thermal behaviour of sodium and potassium multinuclear compounds with hexamethylenetetramine

Sodium and potassium thiocyanate complex compounds of formulae [Na(hmta)(H₂O)₄]₂²⁺·2SCN⁻ (1) and [K₂(hmta)(SCN)₂] _n (2) have been synthesized and characterised by IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry coupled with differential thermal analysis, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. Each sodium and potassium cation is six co-ordinated, the sodium by one monofunctional hmta molecule, three terminal water molecules and two bridging water molecules, and the potassium by two bridging tetrafunctional hmta molecules and four bridging tetrafunctional thiocyanate ions. The coordination polyhedra of the central atoms can be described as distorted tetragonal bipyramids. The complex cations and anions of (1) are interconnected by multiple intramolecular O(water)—H···N(hmta/NCS) and O(water)—H···S hydrogen bonds to the three dimensional net. In each complex cation the intramolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds link two terminal water molecules bonded to two metal cations. The compound (2) forms the three dimensional hybrid network in which the classical two-dimensional coordination polymers are linked by inorganic SCN⁻ spacers to the third-dimension. Thermal analyses show that the compounds decompose gradually in three (for 1) and two (for 2) steps with formation of Na₂SO₄ and K₂S as the final products, respectively, for 1 and 2.     

Bis-(bis-(1,3-diaminopropane)-copper(II) Tetracyanonickellate(II)) Tetrahydrate: Preparation, Characterization, and Crystal Structure of a Novel Molecular Tetracyanonickellate

Summary.  [Cu(tn)₂Ni(CN)₄]₂ċ4H₂O and Cu(tn)₂Ni(CN)₄ (tn = 1,3-diaminopropane) were prepared and characterized. The hydrate is unstable on air and readily dehydrates to Cu(tn)₂Ni(CN)₄. Crystal structure analysis of the hydrate at 150 K revealed a novel tetranuclear molecular structure of the tetracyanonickellate. The building elements are two [Cu(tn)₂]²⁺ cations (coordination numbers of Cu: 5 and 6, respectively), two [Ni(CN)₄)²⁻ anions, and crystal water. The two cations are linked by one tetracyanonickellate anion via bridging cyano groups placed in cis positions. The second anion is bound weakly (Cu-N = 2.82 ?) via one μ₂-bridging cyano ligand. The tetranuclear molecules and pairs of solvate water molecules are linked by strong hydrogen bonds, thus forming infinite planes which are linked in the third dimension by considerably weaker hydrogen bonds.

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.

Synthesis, crystal structure and thermal decomposition character of [Zn(CHZ)3][C(NO2)3]2 · (H2O)2 (CHZ = Carbohydrazide)

A new coordination compound [Zn(CHZ)₃][C(NO₂)₃]₂ · (H₂O)₂ was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR and UV spectra, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to the triclinic system, space group . In the asymmetric unit, zinc (II) ion is six-coordinated with three carbonyl oxygen atoms and three terminal nitrogen atoms to form distorted octahedral structure, three CHZ molecules and central metal cation constitute three planar chelate rings which are vertical one to another, and two trinitromethanides are similar to the conformation of C _2v -like. Zinc (II) ions, carbohydrazide ligand molecules, trinitromethanide anions, and lattice water molecules are jointed to a complicated three-dimensional network structure through coordination bonds, electrostatic forces, and extensive hydrogen bonds. The thermal decomposition character and mechanism were tested through DSC, TG–DTG, and FTIR spectra. The results show that the title complex has high energy and good thermal stability.     

Solvation Properties of Aliphatic Alcohol–Water and Fluorinated Alcohol–Water Solutions for Amide Molecules Studied by IR and NMR Techniques

Solvation properties of aliphatic alcohol–water and fluorinated alcohol–water solutions were probed by amide molecules as solutes using infrared (IR) and ¹H and ¹³C NMR techniques. These include four alcohols: ethanol (EtOH), 2-propanol (2-PrOH), 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and three amides: N-methylformamide (NMF), N-methylacetamide (NMA) and N-methylpropionamide (NMP). The hydrogen bonds of the amide carbonyl oxygen with water are gradually weakened as the alcohol content increases. This decreases in the order of HFIP > TFE ≈ 2-PrOH > EtOH. In TFE– and HFIP–water solutions, the hydrogen bond between the amide amino hydrogen and water is also gradually broken with increasing x _A. This trend is more notable in the order of NMP > NMA > NMF. The hydrophobic moieties of the amide methyl and ethyl groups are solvated by the fluoroalkyl groups of fluorinated alcohols due to the hydrophobic interaction among them. Thus, the steric hindrance generated by the solvated alkyl group of amides promotes the breaking of the hydrogen bonds between amide and water.     

Thermal decomposition of ammonium dinitramide and mechanism of anomalous decay of dinitramide salts

Thermal decomposition of ammonium dinitramide proceedsvia homolytic rupture of the N−NO₂ bond and partially by the proton transfer reaction. The monomolecular decay of the anion to N₂O and NO₃ ⁻ in the solid state at 60 °C occurs with higher rates than those in the melt. This is related to a change in the reactivity of the anion due to the violation of its symmetry on going to the solid state. The absence of hydrogen bonds between the anion and cations or water molecules is an additional condition for the fast decay. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Crystal structure,thermal behavior,and infrared absorption spectrum of cesium hydrogen selenite-selenious acid (12) CsHSeO3 · 2H2SeO3

The present work describes the crystal structure, thermal behavior, and infrared absorption spectrum of cesium hydrogen selenite-selenious acid (12), CsHSeO₃ · 2H₂SeO₃. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system withP2₁c-C⁵_2b (Z = 4) as the space group. The unit cell dimensions are as follows:a = 8.9897(20), b = 8.5078(21), c = 12.6476(31)A˚, and β = 95.141(19)°. The crystal structure consists of discrete H₂SeO₃ molecules which are weakly hydrogen bonded to form layers which are further connected by (HSeO₃)⁻ ions with much stronger hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen atoms show no disorder within the hydrogen bonds. The Cs⁺ ions are coordinated to oxygens from both selenious acid molecules and hydrogen selenite ions. The thermal decomposition of CsHSeO₃ · 2H₂SeO₃ in air starts with incongruent melting due to rupture of hydrogen bonds at 310 K and is followed later by the formation of cesium diselenite phase. At higher temperatures (700 K) this compound decomposes with oxidation of selenium to yield cesium selenate. Both deformation and stretching vibrations of SeOH groups from both (HSeO₃)⁻ ions and H₂SeO₃ molecules can be found in the IR absorption spectrum of CsHSeO₃ · 2H₂SeO₃. This confirms the ordered position of hydrogen atoms in hydrogen bonds. The OH vibrations corresponding to hydrogen bonded species can be found also.     

A pair of diastereomeric 1:2 salts of (R)‐ and (S)‐2‐methylpiperazine with (2S,3S)‐tartaric acid

The crystal structures of a pair of diastereomeric 1:2 salts of (R)‐ and (S)‐2‐methylpiperazine with (2S,3S)‐tartaric acid, namely (R)‐2‐methylpiperazinediium bis[hydrogen (2S,3S)‐tartrate] monohydrate, (I), and (S)‐2‐methylpiperazinediium bis[hydrogen (2S,3S)‐tartrate] monohydrate, (II), both C₅H₁₄N₂²⁺·2C₄H₅O₆⁻·H₂O, each reveal the formation of well‐defined head‐to‐tail‐connected hydrogen tartrate chains; these chains are linked into a two‐dimensional sheet via intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving hydroxy groups and water molecules, resulting in a layer structure. The (R)‐2‐methylpiperazinediium ions lie between the hydrogen tartrate layers in the most stable equatorial conformation in (I), whereas in (II), these ions are in an unstable axial position inside the more interconnected layers and form a larger number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds than are observed in (I).

The crystal contains CfH₃²⁺ and HSO₄⁻ ions and crystallization water molecules. Hydrogen (H3), which forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with oxygen O2 of the carboxyl group, is attached to the carbonyl O1 atom. Hydrogen H4 of the carboxyl group is hydrogen bonded to the crystallization water molecule which links CfH₃²⁺ with two HSO₄⁻ groups by hydrogen bonds. Both H atoms at N3 of the piperazine ring form hydrogen bonds with two oxygen atoms of other HSO₄⁻ anions. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds of two types are present in the CfH₃²⁺ cation. One of them forms a six-membered ring, bonding O1 and O2 atoms, while the other, also enclosing a six-membered ring, links fluorine and carbon C14 atoms. Original Russian Text Copyright ? 2009 by A.

Complex Salts of Lanthanide(III) Nitrates from Di­pyridylamine: Preparation,Structural, and Thermoanalytical ­Investigation

The reaction of a lanthanide(III) nitrate (Ln = Pr, Nd) with the base 2, 2′‐dipyridylamine (dpamH) afforded two very stable microcrystalline compounds. These compounds were characterized as complex salts with the general formula [Ln(NO₃)₆] · 3[dpamH‐H⁺] · H₂O, where the dpamH ligand is not coordinated, but exists in its protonated form serving as counterion (dipyridylammonium cation), as it was revealed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. Each one of the nitrate ions is coordinated, however, in a bidentate manner with the lanthanide(III) ion, which obtains coordination number twelve. All organic dpamH‐H⁺ cations are arranged in two columns parallel to the a axis of the cell forming pairs of almost parallel cationic molecules at a distance of about 3.5 Å. Inside each pair the molecules interact by strong π–π interactions. The water molecules, arranged between the inorganic anions [Ln(NO₃)₆]^3–, bridge them by strong hydrogen bonds, involving the water proton and one nitrate oxygen. The lattice can be described as made from successive organic and inorganic alternating parallel columns interacting between them with strong hydrogen bonds. The thermal stability and decomposition mode of the two lanthanide compounds were studied by the simultaneous TG/DTG‐DTA technique and compared with the starting hexahydrate lanthanide(III) salts and the dipyridylamine.     

Syntheses, structures and properties of two new neodymium complexes with N-P-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl-glycine acid

Two new neodymium complexes, [Nd₂(abglyH)₆(2,2′-bipy)₂(H₂O)₂] · 4H₂O 1 and {[Nd(abglyH)₃(H₂O)₂] · (4,4′-bipy) · 7H₂O}_n 2 (abglyH₂ = N-P-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl-glycine acid, 2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine), have been synthesized and their structures have been measured by X-ray crystallography. In 1, nine-coordinated Nd(III) ions are bridged by two syn–syn bidentate and two tridentate bridging carboxylate groups from four different abglyH⁻ anions to form dinuclear motifs, which are further connected into a 3-D supramolecular framework via hydrogen bonds between the binuclear motifs and the uncoordinated water molecules. In 2, eight-coordinated Nd(III) ions are linked by six carboxylate groups adopting a syn–syn bidentate bridging fashion to form a 1-D inorganic–organic alternating linear chain. These polymeric chains generate microchannels extending along the a direction, and these cavities are occupied by discrete tetradecameric water clusters, which interact with their surroundings and finally furnish the 3-D supramolecular network via hydrogen bonds. At the same time, π–π stacking interactions between benzene rings from abglyH⁻ anions also play an important role in stabilizing the network.     

On Water Structure in Concentrated Salt Solutions

In concentrated salt solutions the average distances between the ions, d ^av=1.1844⋅(∑ν _i c _i )^−1/3 nm, are commensurate with the sizes of the solvated ions, so that no ‘bulk solvent’ remains. This is illustrated with two saturated aqueous solutions, where 16.67 mol⋅dm⁻³ CsF at 75 °C has d ^av(Cs–F)=0.368 nm and 14.54 mol⋅dm⁻³ LiI at 80 °C has d ^av(Li–I)=0.385 nm. The minimal distance required for the bare ions (sum of their radii) are 0.303 nm for CsF and 0.289 nm for LiI. Hence no water molecule, diameter 0.276 nm, can be fitted between the ions to form linear or slightly bent hydrogen bonds. Some recent work ignoring such constraints, even in 3–6 mol⋅dm⁻³ solutions, is criticized on this account.     

Structural characterization of dichloridobis(N,N’-dimethylthiourea-S)cadmium(II)

A cadmium(II) complex, dichloridobis(N,N’-dimethylthiourea-S)cadmium(II), [Cd(Dmtu)₂Cl₂] (1), was prepared and its structure was determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The cadmium(II) ion is four-coordinated and the complex has a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The bond angles are in the range of 108.18(3)–110.45(2)°. The metal ion is bonded to two chloride ions and two dimethylthiourea molecules through the sulfur atoms. The crystal structure shows both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The new complex was also characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and the spectroscopic data are discussed in terms of the nature of bonding.
