Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Binuclear Complex [Pr2(C10H8N2O4)2(C10H9N2O4)2(H2O)4]·3H2O·C6H6

The binuclear praseodymium(III) complex with N‐(1‐carboxyethylidene)‐salicylhydrazide (C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₄, H₂L) was prepared in H₂O‐C₂H₅OH mixed solution, and the crystal structure of [Pr₂L₂(HL)₂(H₂O)₄]·3H₂O·C₆H₆ was determined by X‐ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal complex crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P‐1, and in the structure each Pr atom is 9‐coordinated by carboxyl O and acyl O and azomethine N atoms of two tridentate ligands to form two stable five‐membered rings sharing one side in keto‐mode and two water molecules. The coordination polyhedron around Pr³⁺ was described as a monocapped square antiprism geometry. In an individual molecule, four tridentate ligands were coordinated by two negative univalent (HL) and two bivalent forms (L) respectively. Two negative univalent ligands were coordinated via μ₂‐bridging mode.

The novel copper(Ⅱ) complex with 2-oxo-propionic acid benzoyl hydrazone and pyridine ligands, Cu(C₁₀H₈N₂O₃)·(C₅H₅N)·(H₂O) (C₁₀H₈N₂O₃^2- is the dinegative ion of 2-oxo-propionicacid benzoyl hydrazone), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and IR. The crystal structure of the title complex was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique.

The final R₁ = 0.030 6, wR₂= 0.084 2 for 2 992 observed reflections [I≥2σ(I)] out of 3357 unique reflections. In this complex, copper(Ⅱ) ion is square-pyramidally coordinated by two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom of tridentate C₁₀H₈N₂O₃^2- ligand, one nitrogen atom of the pyridine ligand, and one oxygen atom of water molecule with the oxygen atom of water molecule locating at the apical position. The analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the complex has a one-dimensional chain structure, which is formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. CCDC: 222656.

Comparison of two polymeric transition metal complexes with 1,4‐benzenedicarboxylate ions as bridging ligands, [Co(C8H4O4)(C12H8N2)(H2O)] and [Cu(C8H4O4)(C10H9N3)]·H2O

The title complexes, catena‐poly[[aqua(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)­cobalt(II)]‐μ‐benzene‐1,4‐di­carboxyl­ato‐κ²O¹:O⁴], [Co(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)], (I), and catena‐poly[[[(di‐2‐pyridyl‐κN‐amine)copper(II)]‐μ‐benzene‐1,4‐di­carboxyl­ato‐κ⁴O¹,O^1′:O⁴,O^4′] hydrate], [Cu(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]·H₂O, (II), take the form of zigzag chains, with the 1,4‐benzene­di­carboxyl­ate ion acting as an amphimonodentate ligand in (I) and a bis‐bidentate ligand in (II). The Co^II ion in (I) is five‐coordinate and has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry. The Cu^II ion in (II) is in a very distorted octahedral 4+2 environment, with the octahedron elongated along the trans O—Cu—O bonds and with a trans O—Cu—O angle of only 137.22 (8)°.     

Group 2 metal salts of pyromellitic acid: [Mg(H2O)6](C10H4O8) and [Ba(C10H4O8)(H2O)5]

Structural determinations of the magnesium(II) and barium(II) salts of pyromellitic acid (benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetra­carboxyl­ic acid) are presented. Hexa­aqua­magnesium(II) benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetra­carboxyl­ate(2−), [Mg(H₂O)₆](C₁₀H₄O₈), (I), and penta­aqua­[benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetra­carboxyl­ato(2−)]­barium(II), [Ba(C₁₀H₄O₈)(H₂O)₅], (II), are both centrosymmetric and both possess a 1:1 metal–ligand ratio, but the two structures are found to differ in that the magnesium salt contains a hexaaqua cation and possesses only hydrogen‐bonding interactions between cations and anions, while the barium salt exhibits coordination of the carboxyl­ate ligand to the nine‐coordinate metal centre. In (I), both ions sit on a 2/m site symmetry, and in (II), the cation and anion are located on m and i site symmetries, respectively.
