Abstract  The reaction of Cu(OOCCH₃)₂·H₂O with (2,4-diamino-5-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzyl) pyrimidine (trimethoprim) in ethanolic solution at 80 °C affords the title complex which has been characterized by elemental, IR, and NMR (¹H and ¹³C).The crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 (C₃₆H₄₈Cu₂N₈O₁₄) is triclinic, space group P-1 with a = 7.2676(4) ?, b = 11.6721(7) ?, c = 12.8279(8) ?, α = 95.839(1)°, β = 93.456(1)°, γ = 105.541(1)°, Z = 1. Two copper atoms are coordinated directly to each other as well as are held together by four bridging aceto groups. Each copper atom is also bonded opposite the Cu–Cu vector to a trimethoprim molecule through the N(1) atom of the pyrimidine ring. Trimethoprim acts as a monodentate ligand through the pyrimidine nitrogen N(1) atom. The complex was screened for the activity against several bacteria, showing more activity against bacteria as compared to trimethoprim. Graphical Abstract  To enhance the activity of trimethoprim, its derivative was prepared and there bacterial activity against several bacteria was analyzed.

Abstract  The title dinuclear complex, [(cis-MoO₂L)(μ-O)(cis-MoOL(OH₂)], was characterized as a chloroform solvate. In this structure, one Mo atom features a cis-[MoO₂]²⁺ core to which is also bonded a dinegative, tridentate S-benzyl 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylenedithiocarbazate ligand (= L), via sulfur-, oxygen-, and nitrogen-donors, and a water molecule completes the distorted octahedral coordination geometry. A similar NO₄S donor set is found for the other Mo atom but in this case, the water molecule is substituted by a bridging oxo atom derived from the first Mo species. Two dimers associate via cooperative O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a supramolecular dimer which, in turn, are linked into supramolecular chains via O–H⋯N hydrogen bonding.

Graphical Abstract  Addition of LiNHPh or LiNPh₂ to [(NacNac)Cr(μ-I)]₂ yields a dimeric or a monomeric complex whereas addition of LiNHPh in the presence of aniline yields the monomeric anilido complex.      

Synthesis and Structure of cis-Dioxo(3-Methoxysalicylaldehyde 4-Methylthiosemicarbazonato-N,O,S)(γ-Picoline-N)Molybdenum(VI)

Abstract  Red crystals of cis-dioxo(3-methoxysalicylaldehyde 4-methylthiosemicarbazonato-N,O,S)(γ-picoline-N)molybdenum(VI), [MoO₂L(γ-pic)], [L²⁻=CH₃OC₆H₄(O)CH=NN=C(S)NHCH₃, 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde 4-methylthiosemicarbazonato] were prepared by the reaction of [MoO₂L] _n with γ-picoline in dry methanol. The title compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 6.7984(7) ?, b = 15.9760(12) ?, c = 17.1466(14) ?, β = 93.613(8)°, V = 1858.6(3) ?³, Z = 4. The coordination geometry around the molybdenum center is distorted octahedral with the tridentate thiosemicarbazonato ligand (L²⁻) bonded meridionally to the [MoO₂]²⁺ core. The sixth coordination site is occupied by a weakly bound γ-picoline molecule. The adjacent molecules are joined by the N–H···O hydrogen bonds between their amino and methoxy groups thus forming infinite molecular chains. The three-dimensional solid-state structure is achieved by the additional C–H···O, C–H···π and van der Waals interactions. Graphical Abstract  In the title compound, [MoO₂L(γ-pic)], the tridentate thiosemicarbazonato ligand (L²⁻) is meridionally bound to the [MoO₂]²⁺ core, while a molecule of γ-picoline completes the distorted octahedral coordination around the metal atom.      

Synthesis and Structural Comparison for a Series of Cr(II) (iodo) NacNac Complexes

Abstract  A series of complexes of the form [bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)pentane-2,4-ketiminato](iodo)(solvent) chromium were synthesized and structurally characterized (solvent = tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, α-picoline). The tetrahydrofuran adduct crystallized in the P2₁/n space group with the crystal cell parameters a = 17.628(6) ?, b = 10.218(3) ?, c = 20.646(7) ?, β = 109.209(4)°, V = 3512(2) ?³ and Z = 4. The acetonitrile adduct crystallized in the P2₁/c space group with the crystal cell parameters a = 16.104(7) ?, b = 11.965(5) ?, c = 18.201(8) ?, β = 116.091(6)°, V = 3150(2) ?³ and Z = 4. The α-picoline adduct crystallized in the C2/c space group with the crystal cell parameters a = 39.982(9) ?, b = 11.637(2) ?, c = 16.560(4) ?, β = 108.085(4)°, V = 7325(3) ?³ and Z = 8. For each compound, the coordination around each chromium center is square planar with varying degrees of distortion. Graphical Abstract  A series of Cr(II) complexes of the form LCrI(S) (where L = nacnac = β-diketiminate; S = solvent) were synthesized and structurally characterized.      

3-Methyl-3a,4-Dihydro-3H-Thiochromeno[4,3-c]isoxazol

Abstract  The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₁H₁₁NOS, was determined by an X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with cell parameters a = 10.533(2) ?, b = 12.7826(19) ?, c = 7.6491(17) ?, β = 107.997(17)^°, V = 979.5(3) ?³ and Z = 4. The S containing heterocycle adopts a sofa conformation, whereas the 5-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation. The crystal packing is characterized by weak C–H···N contacts and π-stacking interactions. Graphical Abstract  The title compound, 3-methyl-3a,4-dihydro-3H-thiochromeno[4,3-c]isoxazol was synthesized by an 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition reaction and its crystal structure determined. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the aromatic 6-membered ring is planar, whereas the ring containing the S atom adopts a sofa conformation and the 5-membered ring an envelope conformation. The methyl group is in an equatorial position.
