Synthesis, spectroscopic studies, and crystal structure of tris(tetra-n-butylammonium) hexakisisothiocyanatoindate(III)

The reaction of a 1:10 molar ratio between indium chloride and tetra-n-butylammonium thiocyanate in ethanol affords the complex [(n-C₄H₉)₄N]₃[In(NCS)₆] (1), the structure of which has been established by X-ray diffraction. This compound crystallizes in the cubic space group Pa3¯ with eight formula units in the unit cell. The formula unit consists of three separate cationic tetra-n-butylammonium groups and an independent hexakisisothiocyanatoindium anionic group. The six near linear thiocyanate ligands coordinate octahedrally through the nitrogen atom to the indium metal center. The coordination of the n-butyl groups to the ammonium-nitrogen atom is tetrahedral. The complex has also been characterized by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, physical properties, and X-ray powder analysis.     

Synthesis,crystal and molecular structure of trans‐bis(2‐pyridinepropanol)bis(saccharinato)nickel(II)

Trans‐bis(2‐pyridinepropanol)bis(saccharinato)nickel(II), [Ni(sac)₂(pypr)₂], where sac and pypr are the saccharinate anion and the 2‐pyridinepropanol molecule, respectively, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P (No. 2) with a = 8.1981(8), b = 9.9680(10), c = 10.4956(10) Å, α = 90.740(3)° β = 108.142(3)°, γ = 111.025(3)°, Z = 1, V = 1.537 ų. The structure of the nickel(II) complex consists of neutral molecules in which the nickel(II) ion sits on a center of symmetry and is octahedrally coordinated by two sac ligands, and two neutral pypr ligands. The pypr acts as a bidentate N‐ and O‐donor ligand forming a seven‐membered chelate ring, while sac behaves as a monodentate O‐donor ligand via the carbonyl O atom. The Ni‐N bond distance is 2.1016(15) Å, whereas the Ni‐O_pypr and Ni‐O_sac bond distances are 2.1280(12) and 2.0792(11) Å, respectively. The individual molecules are held together with a strong hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl O atom of pypr and N atom of sac and the C‐H…O type weak hydrogen bonds between some ring hydrogen atoms of pypr and sac, and the carbonyl and sulfonyl O atoms of sac in the neighbouring molecules.

X-ray crystal structure of trans-bis(monoethanolamine) bis(saccharinato)nickel(II)

The crystal structure of trans-bis(monoethanolamine)bis(saccharinato)nickel(II), [Ni(C₇H₄NO₃S)₂(C₂H₇NO)₂], has been determined from X-ray diffraction data.

Synthesis and crystal structure of thiosemicarbazide complexes of nickel(II) and copper(II)

Thiosemicarbazide complexes of nickel(II) [Ni(TSC)₂](HSal)₂ (I) and copper(II) [Cu(TSC)₂](HSal)₂ (Ia) (TSC is thiosemicarbazide and HSal is a salycilate anion), as well as complexes [Ni(TSC)₂](SO₄) · 2H₂O (II) and [Ni(TSC)₃]Cl₂ · H₂O (III), are synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Monoclinic crystals I and Ia are isostructural; space group P2₁/n, Z = 2. Crystals II are monoclinic, space group P2₁/m, Z = 2. Crystals III are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, Z = 8. In I and Ia, two planar salycilate anions sandwich a planar centrosymmetric [Ni(TSC)₂]²⁺ cation to form a supermolecule. The cation and anions are additionally bound by hydrogen bonds. Other hydrogen bonds connect supermolecules into planar layers. In structure II, centrosymmetric [Ni(TSC)₂]²⁺ cations are connected by ??-stacking interactions into supramolecular ensembles of a specific type. The ensembles, water molecules, and (SO₄)^2? anions are bound in the crystal via hydrogen bonds. In the [Ni(TSC)₃]²⁺ cation of structure III, ligands coordinate the Ni atom by the bidentate chelate pattern with the formation of five-membered metallocycles. These metallocycles have an envelope conformation unlike those in I and II, which are planar. In III (unlike in analogous complexes), a meridional isomer of the coordination octahedron of the Ni atom is formed. Together with Cl1^? and Cl2^? anions, cations form supermolecules, which are packed into planar layers with a square-cellular structure. The layers are linked by hydrogen bonds formed by crystallization water molecules that are located between the layers.

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization of thiosemicarbazone complexes of nickel(II) and X-ray structures of anisaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (ATSZH) and bis(tolualdehyde thiosemicarbazonato)nickel(II)

Complexes of nickel(II) with anisaldehyde (ATSZH), tolualdehyde (TTSZH), and vanillin (VTSZH) thiosemicarbazones have been synthesized and characterized by means of UV-Visible, I.R., Raman,¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The thiosemicarbazones have been found to exist in the thione form.¹H and¹³C NMR as well as electronic spectral data support a square planar structure for Ni(ATSZ)₂ and Ni(TTSZ)₂ complexes.¹H and¹³C NMR spectra indicate that the structure of Ni(VTSZ)₂ complex differs from the other two nickel(II) complexes and it may possibly consist of mixtures of isomers. The X-ray structures of Ni(TTSZ)₂ and ATSZH were determined: the nickel complex is monoclinic witha=26.412(6),b=12.135(3),c=6.888(1)Å,=95.41(5)°,Z=4,R=0.0647, space groupC2/c. The structure consists of discrete Ni(TTSZ)₂ molecules in which the metal, located on a symmetry centre, is N,S-chelated by two ligands forming two five-term chelate rings.
