The Schiff base compounds, isonicotinic acid [1-(3-methoxy-2-hydroxyphenyl) methylidene]hydrazide (C₁₄H₁₃N₃O₃, 1) and isonicotinic acid [1-(4-dimethylaminophenyl) methylidene]hydrazide monohydrate (C₁₅H₁₆N₄O·H₂O, 2) have been synthesized by the condensation of equimolar 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde or 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde with isonicotinic acid hydrazide in MeOH or EtOH. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹HNMR spectra, and single crystal X-ray diffractions. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P-1 with unit cell dimensions a = 7.662(1) ?, b = 16.249(2) , c = 10.874(2) ?, β = 110.426(3)°, V = 1268.7(3) ′³, Z = 4, R ₁ = 0.0644, and wR ₂ = 0.1283.

X-ray structure determinations revealed that the molecules of both compounds display trans configurations with respect to the C=N double bonds. In the crystal structure of 1, molecules are linked through N–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane, while in the crystal structure of 2, molecules are linked through N–H···O, O–H···O, and O–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds, forming a network.

Syntheses and crystal structures of an organometallic thiosemicarbazone and an organometallic enehydrazide

Reactions of ferrocenoylacetone with thiosemicarbazide and isonicotinic acid hydrazide generate an organometallic thiosemicarbazone 1 and enehydrazide 2, respectively. The complexes 1 and 2, which can be formulated as [C₅H₅FeC₅H₄C(O)CH₂C(=NNHCSNH₂)CH₃] and [C₅H₅FeC₅H₄C(O)CH=C(NHNHCOC₅H₄N-4)CH₃], have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, NMR, UV and were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 (C₁₅H₁₇FeN₃OS) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with lattice constants: a = 13.939(3) ?, b = 8.2600(17) ?, c = 13.176(3) ?, β = 94.83(3)°, V = 1511.7(6) ?³, Z = 4, D _c = 1.508 g cm⁻³, F(000) = 712, R ₁ = 0.0602, wR ₂ = 0.1526. Two intermolecular hydrogen bonds N–H···S (N···S = 3.356(8) and 3.499(7) ?, N–H···S = 168 and 170°) form a chain in the [010] direction. The intermolecular hydrogen bond C–H···O (C···O = 3.432(10) ?, C–H···O = 151°) leads to a [010] double-chain through each unit cell. The intermolecular hydrogen bond C–H···O (C···O = 3.359(10) ?, C–H···O = 173°) makes the [010] double-chain pack along the c axis to result in a two-dimensional network. Complex 2 (C₂₀H₁₉FeN₃O₂) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with lattice constants: a = 14.091(2) ?, b = 10.024(2) ?, c = 13.806(2) ?, β = 112.41(2)°, V = 1802.8(6) ?³, Z = 4, D _c = 1.434 g cm⁻³, F(000) = 808, R ₁ = 0.0576, wR ₂ = 0.1593. The strong intramolecular hydrogen bond N–H···O from the enamine N atom and carbonyl O atom stabilizes the enehydrazide. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds N–H···O and C–H···O (N···O = 2.906(6) ?, N–H···O = 155° C···O = 3.364(6) ?, C–H···O = 153°) generate a [010] chain. The intermolecular hydrogen bond N–H···O (N···O = 2.989(6) ?, N–H···O = 128°) forms a [010] double-chain through each unit cell. The π···π stacking interation involving the pyridyl groups makes the [010] double-chain pack along the c axis to lead to a two-dimensional network.

Crystal data: (1), Mr = 1031.55, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 27.7948(11), b = 10.5196(4), c = 15.0390(5) ?, β = 110.818(1), Z = 4, V = 4110.2 ?³, R ₁ = 0.0277, wR ₂ = 0.0718 [I > 2σ(I)]; (2), Mr = 1018.19, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 27.675(4), b = 10.3601(15), c = 15.082(2) ?, β = 110.954(2), Z = 4, V = 4038.3 ?³, R ₁ = 0.0248, wR ₂ = 0.0668 [I > 2σ(I)]. The dinuclear units are connected into 2-D supramolecular net through O–H···O hydrogen bonding. Moreover, the 2-D networks are ultimately packed into a 3-D supramolecular structure via interlayer π···π stacking interaction between the aromatic rings of Dpq ligands. Furthermore, the photoluminescence property of compound 1 is also studied.

The reaction of the dithioether ligand, 2,3-bis(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiomethyl) quinoxaline (L) with AgBF₄, leads to the formation of a novel complex {[AgL](BF₄)}_∞ 1, which has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis: monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 20.316(7) ?, b = 12.401(4) ?, c = 18.039(6) ?, β = 108.404(6)° and V = 4312(3) ?³. The crystal structure of the complex consists of 1D {[AgL]⁺}_∞ cation chain and BF₄ ⁻ anions. In 1, the coordination geometry of Ag^I center can be best described as trigonal planar coordinated by three N from two distinct L ligands. The ligand is polydentate with one end adopting a bidentate conformation to chelate an Ag^I atom and the other end monodentate to bridge another Ag^I resulting in an infinite chain along b axis. There exist Ag⋯N weak coordination, π–π stacking and F⋯S weak interactions in the complex, and these weak interactions link the 1D complex into 3D supramolecular structure and further stabilize the crystal structure in the solid state.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with unit cell dimensions a = 8.760 (4) ?, b = 11.190 (5) ?, c = 13.917 (7) ?, α = 110.383 (5)°, β = 101.736 (5)°, γ = 100.612 (5)°, V = 1202.8 (10) ?³, Z = 2, R ₁ = 0.0314 and wR ₂ = 0.0898. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with unit cell dimensions a = 9.911 (3) ?, b = 17.924 (6) ?, c = 10.638 (4) ?, β = 94.998 (5)°, V = 1882.7 (11) ?³, Z = 2, R ₁ = 0.0397 and wR ₂ = 0.1150. In complex 1, Cd(II) ions are alternately bridged by PDA ligands and chloride ions into 1D chains and the PDA ligands display trans-configuration. Complex 2 is a dimer and two Ni(II) ions are linked by two PDA ligands with cis-configuration, resulting in a cyclic structure. In spite of these differences, both in complexes 1 and 2 there are π–π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonding to make them 3D supramolecular frameworks.     

Preparation and crystal structure of a quadruply bonded dimolybdenum complex with trans-crotonate ligands

A quadruply bonded dimolybdenum complex with trans-crotonate ligands, Mo₂(O₂CC₃H₅)₄, was synthesized and characterized by UV–VIS, IR, and NMR spectra.

The Mo₂ ⁴⁺ unit was surrounded by four trans-crotonate ligands resulting in a paddle wheel structure with one disordered trans-crotonate ligand. Molecules are bonded together by means of interactions consisting of the donation of lone pairs of electron on carboxylate O atoms on one molecule to the Mo atom on an adjacent complex. A new pattern of intermolecular bonding is observed.

The preparation and crystal structures of [Ru(bpy) (η2-tpy)(CO)CH2OAc]PF6 and [Ru(η3-tpy)(CO)CH2OAc] PF6 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; tpy = 2,2′:6′,2″ terpyridine)

The first titled compound, 1, was obtained by treating [Ru(bpy)(η²-tpy)(CO)CH₂OH]PF₆ with acetic anhydride. Heating 1 in acetonitrile afforded 2, [Ru((η³-tpy)(MeCN)(CO) CH₂OAc]PF₆. Allowing 2 to stand in CH₂Cl₂ followed by concentration and precipitation afforded the second titled compound, 3 ([Ru((η³-tpy)(CO)–CH₂OAc]PF₆), in which the acetoxymethyl group had become bidentate.

1-[2-(p-Tolyl)-1-diazenyl]-3-({3-[2-(p-tolyl)-1-diazenyl] perhydrobenzo[d]imidazol-1-yl}methyl)perhydrobenzo[d]imidazole: synthesis,characterization and X-ray crystal structure

1-[2-(p-Tolyl)-1-diazenyl]-3-({3-[2-(p-tolyl)-1-diazenyl]perhydrobenzo[d]imidazol-1-yl}methyl)perhydrobenzo[d]imidazole(1) has been synthesized by reactionof a mixture of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane and formaldehyde withp-toluene diazonium chloride inaqueous solution. The product has been characterized by IR and NMRspectroscopy and elemental analysis. A crystal grown from solution ina mixed solvent system of ethyl acetate and hexanes was analyzed byX-ray crystallography. The solution of the crystal structure of(1) is important in establishing theconnectivity of this molecule and other compounds of similarstructure. The crystal structure of (1) is compared with the previously reportedstructure of the p-cyano analogue(2). Compounds (1) and (2)differ principally in the relative orientation of the heterocyclicrings; in (1), the molecule has adistinct V-shape, whereas compound (2) adopts a more extended conformation.Significant conjugation within the triazene moieties is evident inboth (1) and (2), as manifested in the N465=N andN–N bond lengths. The conjugation is greater in (2) due to the extended conjugation through tothe nitrile group. The title compound (1){C₂₉H₄₀N₈}crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group C2/c, with lattice constants: a = 30.532(6) ?,b =5.9050(12) ?, c= 15.463(3) ?, α = 90°,β = 99.94(3)°, γ = 90°,V =2746.0(10) ?³, Z = 4, D _c =1.209 mg m⁻³,F(000) = 1076, R ₁ = 0.0785,wR ₂= 0.1877.
