Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new dinuclear copper(II) amino acid complex [Cu2(l-arg)2(μ-HPO4-O)(μ-HPO4-O,O′)(μ-OH)] · (H3O) · (H2O)6

A novel dinuclear copper(II) complex with the amino acid l-arginine (l-arg), with mono and bidentate HPO₄²⁻ oxoanions and an OH⁻ anion. [Cu₂(l-arg)₂(μ-HPO₄-O)(μ-HPO₄-O,O′)(μ-OH)]⁻ · (H₃O)⁺ · 6H₂O (1) was prepared and its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The two independent copper ions are in a distorted square pyramidal coordination, each bonded to one l-arginine molecule. These two Cu(l-arg) units are bridged by two monoatomic equatorial–apical oxygen ligands belonging to a monodentate hydrogenphosphate group, and to the hydroxyl group. The copper ions in the dinuclear unit at d = 3.1948(8) Å are also connected by two equatorial oxygen belonging to a bidentate hydrogenphosphate. This dinuclear character and bridging scheme, not common for metal–amino acid compounds, is a consequence of the properties of the phosphate anions. The magnetic susceptibility at temperatures between 2 and 300 K and the isothermal magnetization curves at T = 2.29(1) K with applied fields up to 9 T were measured. The magnetic data indicate an antiferromagnetic intradinuclear exchange coupling J/k_B = −3.7(1) K and using a molecular field approximation we estimated a weaker ferromagnetic interaction J′/k_B ∼ 0.3 K between neighbour dinuclear units.     

Synthesis, structure, and thermal decomposition of [H2(4,4′-Bipy)][In(H2O)2(NCS)4]2 and [HUr]2[In(H2O)(NCS)5] · 2H2O

The reaction of indium thiocyanate with bipyridine (4,4-Bipy) and urotropine (Ur) gave [H₂(4,4′-Bipy)][In(H₂O)₂(NCS)₄]₂ (I) and [HUr]₂[In(H₂O)(NCS)₅] · 2H₂O (II), which were identified using elemental analysis, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal decomposition of compound I and II ends at 650 and 640°C, respectively, and gives In₂O₃. X-Ray diffraction analysis of compound I showed that complex anions in the crystal form chains through O-H…S hydrogen bonds. The anion chains form a close packing of columns with bipyridine cations located in the voids. Original Russian Text ? S.P. Petrosyants, A.B. Ilyukhin, V.A.

The chain coordination polymers [Na₂(μ-H₂O)(H₂O)CB[5]]Cl₂ · 6H₂O (I), [Na₃(μ-H₂O)₄(H₂O)₄(CNPy@CB[6])]Cl₃ · 8H₂O (II), and [Rb₂(μ-H₂O)₂(CNPy@CB[6])]Cl₂ · 8H₂O (III) were prepared by heating (110°C) of a mixture of sodium or rubidium chloride, cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n], where n = 5, 6), 4-cyanopyridine, and water. According to X-ray diffraction data, binding of polynuclear cations with CB[n] in I–III occurs through coordination of the oxygen atoms of the cucurbit[n]uril portals to alkali metal atoms. Complexes I–III of the above composition isolated to the solid phase as supramolecular compounds with CB[n] were structurally characterized for the first time.     

Hydrothermal synthesis,crystal structures,and properties of two 3-D network nickel nicotinate coordination polymers: [Ni4(μ-H2O)2(nicotinate)8 · 2H2O] and [Ni2(H2O)2(nicotinate)4(4,4′-bpy)]

The three-dimensional coordination polymers [Ni₄(μ-H₂O)₂(nic)₈ · 2H₂O] (nic = nicotinate, 3-pyridylcarboxylate) (1) and [Ni₂(H₂O)₂(nic)₄(4,4′-bpy)] (2) were prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of nickel(II) chloride, nicotinic acid, sodium hydroxide and an organoimine (several choices for 1, 4,4′-bipyridine for 2). The non-centrosymmetric crystal structure of 1 is constructed from binuclear [Ni₂(μ-H₂O)(μ₃-nic)₂]²⁺ subunits joined into 3-D via μ₂- and μ₃-nicotinate ligands, forming “bird”-shaped cavities that contain water molecule dimers. The crystal structure of 1 is compared and contrasted to two previously reported nickel(II) nicotinate phases. In contrast, the crystal structure of 2 is assembled from neutral [Ni(H₂O)(μ₂-nic)₂] layers, connected into 3-D via tethering 4,4′-bpy moieties. 1 exhibits weak antiferromagnetic coupling across its binuclear subunits (J = −1.61(2) cm⁻¹ for g = 2.233(2)), although anisotropy due to single-ion zero-field-splitting (D) cannot be excluded. The 3-D structures of 1 and 2 remain stable above 300 °C and 200 °C, respectively.

A new heteronuclear germanium barium complex with D-tartaric acid [Ba(H₂O)₄][Ge₂(μ-Tart)₂(μ-OH)₂]·5H₂O (I) (H₄Tart is tartaric acid) was synthesized. The identity of compound I and its com- position were determined by elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction.

Crystal structures of barium bis(iminodiacetato)cobaltates(III): [Ba(H2O)6][Co(Ida)2]2 · H2O and Ba4(H2O)14][Co(Ida)2]5(ClO4)3 · 5.46H2O · 2CH3OH

The crystals of I containing two geometric isomers of the complex anions [Co(Ida)₂]⁻ were obtained by a slow cooling of a hot solution, which contained initially only the cis-isomer. One Ba atom in I interacts with the trans-complex and with two cis-complexes to give a three-dimensional framework in crystal I. The positive charge of the last framework is compensated by one more trans-complex and by the perchlorate ions, one of which acts as a bidentate ligand with respect to the Ba atom. The crystals of II are built of the chains with the alternating Ba atoms and the trans-(N)-[Co(Ida)₂]⁻ anions. The other anions of the same structure are each “suspended” to the Ba atoms of the chain. Original Russian Text ? M. Zabel, A.I. Poznyak, V.I.
