Two scandium–biuret complexes: [Sc(C2H5N3O2)(H2O)5]Cl3·H2O and [Sc(C2H5N3O2)4](NO3)3

The scandium(III) cations in the structures of pentaaqua(biuret‐κ²O,O′)scandium(III) trichloride monohydrate, [Sc(C₂H₅N₃O₂)(H₂O)₅]Cl₃·H₂O, (I), and tetrakis(biuret‐κ²O,O′)scandium(III) trinitrate, [Sc(C₂H₅N₃O₂)₄](NO₃)₃, (II), are found to adopt very different coordinations with the same biuret ligand. The roles of hydrogen bonding and the counter‐ion in the establishment of the structures are described. In (I), the Sc³⁺ cation adopts a fairly regular pentagonal bipyramidal coordination geometry arising from one O,O′‐bidentate biuret molecule and five water molecules. A dense network of N—H...Cl, O—H...O and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds help to establish the packing, resulting in dimeric associations of two cations and two water molecules. In (II), the Sc³⁺ cation (site symmetry 2) adopts a slightly squashed square‐antiprismatic geometry arising from four O,O′‐bidentate biuret molecules. A network of N—H...O hydrogen bonds help to establish the packing, which features [010] chains of cations. One of the nitrate ions is disordered about an inversion centre. Both structures form three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond networks.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Four New Complexes [Mn(4,4''-bip)2(OH2)4](DBA)·4H2O and [M(OH2)(HDPA)2]·3H2O (M = Mn, Co, Ni)

Four new transition metal complexes, [Mn(4,4'-bip)2(OH2)4](DBA)·4H2O 1(4,4'-bip = 4,4'-bipyridine, H2DBA = benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid) and [M(OH2)(HDPA)2]·3H2O (M = Mn 2, M = Co 3, M = Ni 4,H2DPA = 2,6-pyridine-dicarboxylic acid), have been prepared from the reaction of transition metals and carboxylic acids, and characterized by X-ray and elemental analyses. For compound 1, the packing diagram shows that a three-dimensional network is formed via hydrogen bonds and strong π-π interactions. For compounds 2, 3 and 4,a double-helical chain is formed through hydrogen bonds. Moreover, a three-dimensional network is constructed from chains via complicated hydrogen bonds between crystal water molecules and oxygen atoms of HDPA-.     

Bridging nitrate groups in [Mn(4)O(3)(NO(3))(O(2)CMe)(3)(R(2)dbm)(3)] (R = H, Et) and [Mn(4)O(2)(NO(3))(O(2)CEt)(6)(bpy)(2)](ClO(4)): acidolysis routes to tetranuclear manganese carboxylate complexes

New synthesis procedures are described to tetranuclear manganese carboxylate complexes containing the [Mn(4)O(2)](8+) or [Mn(4)O(3)X](6+) (X(-) = MeCO(2)(-), F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), NO(3)(-)) core. These involve acidolysis reactions of [Mn(4)O(3)(O(2)CMe)(4)(dbm)(3)] (1; dbm is the anion of dibenzoylmethane) or [Mn(4)O(2)(O(2)CEt)(6)(dbm)(2)] (8) with HX (X(-) = F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), NO(3)(-)); high-yield routes to 1 and 8 are also described. The X(-) = NO(3)(-) complexes [Mn(4)O(3)(NO(3))(O(2)CR)(3)(R'(2)dbm)(3)] (R = Me, R' = H (6); R = Me, R' = Et (7); R = Et, R' = H (12)) represent the first synthesis of the [Mn(4)O(3)(NO(3))](6+) core, which contains an unusual eta(1):mu(3)-NO(3)(-) group. Treatment of known [Mn(4)O(2)(O(2)CEt)(7)(bpy)(2)](ClO(4)) with HNO(3) gives [Mn(4)O(2)(NO(3))(O(2)CEt)(6)(bpy)(2)](ClO(4)) (15) containing a eta(1):eta(1):mu-NO(3)(-) group bridging the two body Mn(III) ions of the [Mn(4)O(2)](8+) butterfly core. Complex 7 x 4CH(2)Cl(2) crystallizes in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with (at -168 degrees C) a = 21.110(3) A, b = 22.183(3) A, c = 15.958(2) A, Z = 4, and V = 7472.4(3) A(3). Complex 15 x (3)/(2)CH(2)Cl(2) crystallizes in space group P2(1)/c with (at -165 degrees C) a = 26.025(4) A, b = 13.488(2) A, c = 32.102(6) A, beta = 97.27(1) degrees, Z = 8, and V = 11178(5) A(3). Complex 7 contains a [Mn(4)(mu(3)-O)(3)(mu(3)-NO(3))](6+) core (3Mn(III), Mn(IV)) as seen for previous [Mn(4)O(3)X](6+) complexes. Complex 15 contains a butterfly [Mn(4)(mu(3)-O)(2)](8+) core. (1)H NMR spectra have been recorded for all complexes reported in this work and the various resonances assigned. All complexes retain their structural integrity on dissolution in chloroform and dichloromethane. Magnetic susceptibility (chi(M)) data were collected on 12 in the 5-300 K range in a 10.0 kG (1 T) field. Fitting of the data to the theoretical chi(M) vs T expression appropriate for a [Mn(4)O(3)X](6+) complex of C(3)(v)() symmetry gave J(34) = -23.9 cm(-)(1), J(33) = 4.9 cm(-)(1), and g = 1.98, where J(34) and J(33) refer to the Mn(III)Mn(IV) and Mn(III)Mn(III) pairwise exchange interactions, respectively. The ground state of the molecule is S = 9/2, as found previously for other [Mn(4)O(3)X](6+) complexes. This was confirmed by magnetization data collected at various fields and temperatures. Fitting of the data gave S = 9/2, D = -0.45 cm(-1), and g = 1.96, where D is the axial zero-field splitting parameter.

Rare‐Earth‐Metal Coordination Polymers: Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Five New Adipinates, [M₂(Adi)₃(H₂O)₄](AdiH₂)(H₂O)₄ (M = La, Nd), [Er(Adi)(H₂O)₅]Cl(H₂O) and [M(Adi)(H₂O)₅](NO₃)(H₂O) (M = Gd, Er) The new rare‐earth compounds [M₂(Adi)₃(H₂O)₄](AdiH₂)(H₂O)₄ (M = La ( 1 ), Nd ( 2 )), [Er(Adi)(H₂O)₅]Cl(H₂O) ( 3 ) and [M(Adi)(H₂O)₅](NO₃)(H₂O) (M = Gd ( 4 ), Er ( 5 )) were obtained from the reaction of adipinic acid with La(OH)₃·xH₂O, Nd₂O₃, ErCl₃·6H₂O, Gd(NO)₃·xH₂O and Er₂O₃, respectively. Their crystal structures were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The coordination polymers [M₂(Adi)₃(H₂O)₄](AdiH₂)(H₂O)₄ crystallize in the triclinic space group (no. 2) with a = 875.4(1), b = 1000.4(2), c = 1179.0(2) pm, α = 74.70(1), β = 69.85(1), γ = 86.18(2)° and Z = 1 (crystal data for M = La, ( 1 )). The quasi‐isostructural compounds [Er(Adi)(H₂O)₅]Cl(H₂O) ( 3 ) and [M(Adi)(H₂O)₅](NO₃)(H₂O) (M = Gd ( 4 ), Er ( 5 )) crystallize with monoclinic symmetry, space group C2/c (no. 15) with lattice parameters of a = 1231.5(1), b = 1532.6(1), c = 895.4(1) pm, β = 123.44(1)° and Z = 4 (crystal data for ( 3 )). The rare‐earth cations have the coordination numbers 10 ( 1 , 2 ) and 9 ( 3 , 4 and 5 ), respectively. The compounds [M₂(Adi)₃(H₂O)₄](AdiH₂)(H₂O)₄ are constructed of infinite chains of edge‐sharig [MO₈(H₂O)₂] polyhedra that are cross‐linked by adipinic acid molecules to form framework structures. In [Er(Adi)(H₂O)₅]Cl(H₂O) ( 3 ) and [M(Adi)(H₂O)₅](NO₃)(H₂O) (M = Gd ( 4 ), Er ( 5 )) the central cations are bridged by adipinic acid molecules in a bidentate‐chelating manner to positively charged zigzag chains. Between these the counter ions and crystal water molecules are incorporated.     

Crystal structure and luminescence of lanthanide monodentate complexes [Ln(C(4)N(4)H(6)O)(2)(H(2)O)(6)]Cl(3) and [Ln(C(4)N(4)H(6)O)(2)(H(2)O)(3)(NO(3))(3)] (Ln = Tb or Eu)

New eight- and nine-coordinate luminescent europium(III) and terbium(III) complexes 1-4 with carbonyl group coordination have been prepared using the monodentate ligand (L) 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxy pyrimidine and characterized by X-ray and spectroscopic methods.     

Cerium Complex with Four Types of Ligands: (NH4)6[Ce(H2W12O40)(C4H2O4)(NO3)(H2O)3]

A novel polymer (NH₄)₆[Ce(H₂W₁₂O₄₀)(C₄H₂O₄)(NO₃)(H₂O)₃] ( 1 ) has been constructed at room temperature and characterized by single crystal X‐ray structural analyses, elemental analyses, cyclic voltammetry, IR spectrum, and thermogravimetry. X‐ray structural analysis reveals that through the W–Ot′–Ce–Ob–W linkages a one‐dimension infinitely linear chain with alternating cations and anions is formed. 1 represents the first characterized compound that the Ce³⁺ ions are coordinated by four different types of ligands, and maleinate as ligands in constructing LnPOM architecture.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of zirconium(IV) nitrate complexes (NO2)[Zr(NO3)3(H2O)3]2(NO3) 3, Cs[Zr(NO3)5], and (NH4)[Zr(NO3)5](HNO3)

The zirconium nitrate complexes (NO₂)[Zr(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃]₂(NO₃)₃ (1), Cs[Zr(NO₃)₅] ((2), (NH₄)[Zr(NO₃)₅](HNO₃) (3), and (NO₂)_0.23(NO)_0.77[Zr(NO₃)₅] ((4) were prepared by crystallization from nitric acid solutions in the presence of H₂SO₄ or P₂O₅. The complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of 1 consists of nitrate anions, nitronium cations, and [Zr(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃]⁺ complex cations in which the Zr^IV atom is coordinated by three water molecules and three bidentate nitrate groups. The coordination polyhedron of the Zr^IV atom is a tricapped trigonal prism formed by nine oxygen atoms. The island structures of 2 and 3 contain [Zr(NO₃)₅]^? anions and Cs⁺ or NH₄ ⁺ cations, respectively. In addition, complex 3 contains HNO₃ molecules. Complex 4 differs from (NO₂)[Zr(NO₃)₅] in that three-fourth of the nitronium cations in 4 are replaced by nitrosonium cations NO⁺, resulting in a decrease in the unit cell parameters. In the [Zr(NO₃)₅]^? anion involved in complexes 2–4, the Zr^IV atom is coordinated by five bidentate nitrate groups and has an unusually high coordination number of 10. The coordination polyhedron is a bicapped square antiprism.     

Synthesis and Structural Investigations of [Mn(3)O(4)(phen)(4)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(4).2.5H(2)O: A Water-Bound Complex Obtained by Cerium(IV) Oxidation

The trinuclear manganese complex [Mn(3)O(4)(phen)(4)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(4).2.5H(2)O, 1 (where, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), has been synthesized by the Ce(IV) oxidation of a concentrated solution of manganese(II) acetate and phen in 1.6 N nitric acid. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr; with a = 10.700(2) ?, b = 12.643(3) ?, c = 20.509(4) ?, alpha = 78.37(3) degrees, beta = 83.12(3) degrees, gamma = 82.50(3) degrees, and Z = 2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares techniques to the conventional R (R(w)) factors of 0.055 (0.076) based on 4609 unique reflections with F(o) >/= 6.0sigma(F(o)). The structure of the cation consists of an oxo-bridged Mn(3)O(4)(4+) core, with the geometry of the manganese atoms being octahedral. The coordination polyhedron of one of the manganese atoms (Mn(1)) consists of two &mgr; oxo ligands and two pairs of nitrogen atoms of two phen moieties, whereas that of each of the remaining two manganese atoms consists of three &mgr;-oxo ligands, two nitrogen atoms of a phen moiety, and the oxygen atom of a water molecule. The complex represents the second example for water coordination to manganese(IV) centers in complexes with a Mn(3)O(4)(4+) core. Optical spectra in ligand buffer (pH 4.5) reveal complete conversion of the complex into a Mn(III)Mn(IV) species. The observed room-temperature (298 K) magnetic moment of 3.75 &mgr;(B) indicates the presence of strong antiferromagnetic coupling in the complex.

Crystalline NO[Mn(NO₃)₃] ( I ) and (NO)₂[Co(NO₃)₄] ( II ) were synthesized by reaction of the corresponding metal and a liquid N₂O₄/ethylacetate mixture. I is orthorhombic, Pca2₁, a = 9.414(2), b = 15.929(3), c = 10.180(2) Å, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0286. II is monoclinic, C2/c, a = 14.463(3), b = 19.154(4), c = 13.724(3) Å, β = 120.90(3), Z = 12, R₁ = 0.0890. Structure I consists of [Mn(NO₃)₃]^– sheets with NO⁺ cations between them. Two types of Mn atoms have CN_Mn = 7 and 8. Structure II is ionic containing isolated [Co(NO₃)₄]‐anions and NO⁺ cations with CN_Co = 8. Crystals of Mn(NO₃)₂ ( III ) and Co(NO₃)₂ ( IV ) were obtained by concentration of metal nitrate hydrate solutions in 100% HNO₃ in a desiccator with P₂O₅. III is cubic, Pa 3, a = 7.527(2) Å, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0987. IV is trigonal, R 3, a = 10.500(2), c = 12.837(3) Å, Z = 12, R₁ = 0.0354. The three dimensional structure III is isotypic to the strontium and barium dinitrates. Structure IV contains a three dimensional network of interconnected Co(NO₃)_6/3 units with a distorted octahedral coordination environment of Co atoms. General correlations between central atom coordination and coordination modes of NO₃ groups are discussed.

Its structure consists of branched linear chains formed by cis-[Ni(en)2]2+ cations and ferrocyanide and nitroprusside anions. The presence of two kinds of iron(II) sites has been demonstrated by M?ssbauer spectroscopy. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (a = 11.076(3) A, b = 10.983(2) A, c = 17.018(5) A, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 107.25(2) degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, Z = 4).

Its structure comprises neutral trinuclear bimetallic complexes in which a central [Fe(CN)5NO]2- anion is linked to two [Mn(3-MeOsalen)]+ cations. 4 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/ncc (a = 13.630(5) A, c = 21.420(8) A, Z = 4). Its structure shows an extended 2D neutral network formed by cyclic octameric [-Mn-NC-Fe-CN-]4 units. The magnetic properties of these compounds indicate the presence of quasi-isolated paramagnetic Ni2+ and Mn3+. Irradiated samples of the four compounds have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry to detect the existence of the long-lived metastable states of nitroprusside.     

Syntheses, crystal structures, and spectroscopic and magnetic properties of [Mn2III(H2L1)(Cl4Cat)4.2H2O] and [Mn2III(H2L2)(Cl4Cat)4.2CH3CN.2H2O]infinity: temperature-dependent valence tautomerism in solution

The synthesis, X-ray data, and electronic structures of two manganese(III) 1D polymers ligated by tetrachlorocatechol, [Mn(2)(III)(H(2)L(1))(Cl(4)Cat)(4).2H(2)O](infinity) (1) and [Mn(2)(III)(H(2)L(2))(Cl(4)Cat)(4).2CH(3)CN.2H(2)O](infinity) (2), are reported. The electronic structures of the complexes have been determined by UV-vis-near-IR, IR, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Both 1 and 2 are air stable in the solid state and in solution, unlike most of the previously reported o-quinone-chelated transition-metal complexes. Electronic spectroscopy exhibits a strong near-IR band near 1900 nm for both, suggesting the presence of a mixed-valence semiquinone-catecholate oxidation state of the catechol ligands, Mn(2)(III)(Cl(4)Cat)(2)(Cl(4)SQ)(2), together with the pure catecholate forms. The presence of this isomer was further supported by EPR and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The complexes undergo intramolecular electron transfer (valence tautomerism) upon an increase of the temperature involving the equilibrium Mn(2)(III)(Cl(4)Cat)(2)(Cl(4)SQ)(2) <==> Mn(2)(II)(Cl(4)SQ)(4). This phenomenon is reversible and is studied in solution using UV-vis-near-IR spectroscopy.
