Crystal structures of bis(4-dimethylaminopyridinium) tetrachlorocobaltate(II) and bis-[1,3-di (ammoniummethyl)benzene]tetrachlorocobaltate(II)

The crystal structures consist of organoammonium cations hydrogen bonded to tetrahedral CoCl₄ ^2– anions. In the 4-dimethylaminopyridinium salt, [(CH₃)₂NC₅H₅NH]₂CoCl₄, pairs of cations hydrogen bond in an asymmetric fashion to two of the chlorines in each anion. The planar cations form two sets of – stacks, first parallel to the a axis and the second parallel to the b axis. The anions lie between these two nonintersecting sets of stacks. In contrast, for the second compound, [C₆H₄(CH₂NH₃)₂]CoCl₄, the tetrahedral CoCl₄ ^2– anions form layers lying parallel to the bc plane. The 1,3-di(ammoniummethyl)benzene cations crosslink adjacent anionic layers, forming a lamellar structure of alternating organic and inorganic layers.

Adjacent layers are further linked by hydrogen bonds involving both ligand and lattice water molecules to generate a three-dimensional network.On leave from Central Laboratory, Nankai University, Tianjin, China.

Crystal structure of dicalcium potassium trihydrogen bis(pyrophosphate) trihydrate

The crystal structure of Ca₂KH₃(P₂O₇)₂·3H₂O has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals are monoclinic, space groupP2₁/n witha=10.518(3),b=19.253(9),c=7.340(3)Å,=90.07(2)°, andZ=4. The structure was refined toR=0.048 andR _w=0.044 for 1839 reflections withI3(I). The structure consists of a compact assembly of Ca, K, HP₂O₇, and H₂P₂O₇ ions and three water molecules arranged in layers perpendicular to theb-axis. The two independent Ca ions and the HP₂O₇ ion comprise one layer; K and H₂P₂O₇ ions and the three water molecules form an interstitial layer. Coordinations of the two independent Ca ions are quite similar, but the environments of HP₂O₇ and H₂P₂O₇ ions are quite different, probably due to their locations in different layers. The general structural features are quite similar to those of Ca(NH₄)HP₂O₇.Certain commercial materials and equipments are identified in this paper to specify the experimental procedure. In no instance does such identification imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology or the ADA Health Foundation or that the material or equipment identified is necessarily the best available for the purpose.

Crystal and molecular structures of trans-bis(acetonitrile)bis(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) perchlorate and trans-diamminebis(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) perchlorate

The structures of trans-[(MeCN)₂(bpy)₂Ru](ClO₄)₂(I) andtrans-[(NH₃)₂(bpy)₂Ru](ClO₄)₂(II) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. (I) forms monoclinic crystals in the space groupP2₁/c witha=8.399(2),b=10.406(2),c=15.590(3) Å,=93.78(2)° andZ=2 atT=293 K. The final refinement gaveR=0.040 for 2448 reflections withF _o ² >3(F _o ² ). (II) crystallizes in the triclinic space groupP¯1 witha=1.702(1),b=8.439(2),c=10.525(2) Å,=107.56(2),=104.63(1), =100.89(2)° andZ=1 atT=293 K.

The bipyridine ligands in both structures are in the bowed conformation as a means of circumventing the steric problems associated with the trans arrangement of the bipyridine ligands. The Ru-N(monodentate) distance is longer for the ammonia complex (2.106(3) Å) than for the acetonitrile complex (2.008(4) Å); there are no significant differences in the distances and angles of the two Ru(bpy)₂ frameworks.     

Crystal structures of three methylmercury(II) complexes with thiazolidine-2-thione

The crystal structures of three CH₃Hg⁺ complexes with 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione (HT) are reported. The cationic [(CH₃Hg)HT]NO₃ complex is monoclinic, space group P2₁/c,a=7.158(14),b=10.156(7),c=13.472(12) Å,=108.21(4)°,Z=4. The structure was refined toR=0.045. The [(CH₃Hg)HT]⁺ cation contains a CH₃Hg⁺ group bonded to the exocyclic S atom of the ligand retaining its N-H proton. This proton is lost and the CH₃Hg⁺ group remains bonded to sulfur in the neutral [(CH₃Hg)T] compound (hexagonal, P6₃,a=13.502(8),c=6.984(7) Å,Z=6,R=0.027). The [(CH₃Hg)₂T]NO₃ compound (monoclinic, C2/c,a=25.200(10),b=7.029(6),c=17.946(8),=128.99(3)°,Z=8,R=0.047) contains complex cations in which the CH3Hg⁺ groups are bonded to N and the exocyclic S atom. This series of compounds shows that the exocyclic S atom is always the first target for the CH₃Hg⁺ group, which is also found to bind to nitrogen in the 2:1 compound. No coordination is observed with the endocyclic S site, which does not even participate in intermolecular H-bonding or HgS contacts in the solids.

The coordination polyhedra of the central atoms of the Cu(H₂)LCl and CuLCl₂ complex fragments are tetragonal bipyramid and tetragonal pyramid, respectively. In compound III, the copper atom is octahedrally surrounded by two L ligands in the mer configuration.

In the crystals, complexes I and II form centrosymmetric dimers in which the thiosemicarbazone sulfur atom serves as a bridge and occupies the fifth coordination site of the copper atom of the neighboring complex related to the initial complex through the center of symmetry. In both cases, the coordination polyhedron of the complexing ion is a distorted tetragonal bipyramid.

The orthorhombic isomer has space groupPna2₁ and unit cell constants:a = 6·91(1),b = 8·30(1),c = 10·24(1) Å;Z = 4.

In the monoclinic compound, the two semicarbazide molecules, which are present in two adjacent octahedra along the chain, have the oxygen and nitrogen atoms in thetrans configuration, one with respect to the other, and are correlated by a centre of symmetry. In the orthorhombic compound, the two semicarbazide molecules are in thecis configuration and there is no centre of symmetry. In both compounds packing is determined by the NH···Cl and NH···O hydrogen bonds which join the chains together.The authors are indebted to Mr M. Lanfranchi who prepared the compounds and to Dr A. Immirzi who made abailable his computer programs.
