Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two New Zinc（ Ⅱ ） Nitroxide Radical Complexes Bridged by Isophthalate

Two novel complexes [Zn（NIT3-py）（ip）]n 1 and [Zn（im3-py）（ip）]n 2 （NIT3-py = 2-（3＇-pyridyl）-4,4,5,5,-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide, im3-py = 2-（3＇-pyridyl）-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl, ip = isophthalate） have been synthesized and structurally determined by X-ray diffraction. Crystal data for 1： C32H36N6O8Zn, Mr= 698.04, monoclinic, space group Cc with a = 23.600（3）, b = 10.2073（12）, c = 13.4027（16）A,β = 92.586（2）°, V = 3225.3（7） A^3, Dc= 1.438 g/cm^3, F（000） = 1456,μ（MoKa） = 0.822 mm^-1, Z = 4, the final R = 0.0390 and wR = 0.1032 for 6037 independent reflections with Rint = 0.0214. Crystal data for 2： C32H36N6O6Zn, Mr= 666.04, monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 24.434（4）, b = 13.543（2）, c = 10.2379（16） A, β = 109.024（2）°, V = 3202.8（9）A3 Dc= 1.381 g/cm^3, F（000） = 1392,μ（MoKa） = 0.820 mm^-1, Z = 4, the final R = 0.0304 and wR = 0.0658 for 2833 independent reflections with Rint = 0.0307. X-ray analysis reveals that both Zn（ Ⅱ ） ions are four-coordinated by two pyridyl-N atoms from nitroxide radicals and two carboxylate oxygen atoms to form distorted tetrahedral geometries. Each isophthalate dianion binds two Zn（ Ⅱ ） ions in a monodentate mode, leading to a I-D chain structure.     

A Layered Vanadium Oxide with Cobalt（Ⅱ） Coordination Complex： Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of （py）5Co2（H2O）3[V4O12]

A novel layered mixed metal vanadium-cobadt complex, （py）5Co2（H2O）3[V4O12] 1 （py = pyridine）, was hydro（solvo）thermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in orthorhombic, space group Pca21 with a = 17.473（4）, b = 11.447（2）, c = 17.509（4）A^°, V = 5005.3（7）A^°3, Z = 4, Mr = 3502.1（12）, Z = 4, Dc = 1.827 g/cm^3,μ（MoKα） = 2.023 mm^-1, F（000） = 1928, S = 1.020, the final R = 0.0400 and wR= 0.1063 for 6035 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I） and 460 variables. Complex 1 consists of tetrahedral VO4 groups to form the large layers which are alternately bonded by two cobalt complex species Co（py）2（H2O）2 and Co（py）3（H2O）.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Copper（Ⅱ） Compound Constructed by N-（4,6- Dimethoxylpyrimidin）-N＇-（ethoxycarbonyl）thiourea

A copper（Ⅱ） complex Cu（L）2（NO3）2 constructed by the L （L = N-（4,6-dimethoxylpyrimidin）-N＇-（ethoxycarbonyl）thiourea） ligand crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 16.2416（16）, b = 9.1385（7）, c = 22.0008（18） A, β = 108.077（2）°, V = 3104.3（5） A^3, Dc = 1.627 g/cm^3, Z = 4, C20H28CuN10O14S2, Mr = 760.18,μ（MoKa） = 0.920 mm^-1, F（000） = 1564, R = 0.0471 and wR = 0.1284 for 2239 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））. X-ray diffraction shows the existence of weak complementary intramolecular N-H...O （DA） hydrogen bonds which further strengthen the coordination from the two L ligands with the Cu（Ⅱ） ion, intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds and weak π...π stacking interactions, leading to the formation of a multi-dimensional supramolecular network.
