The crystal data are as follows: a = 19.343(9), b = 35.125(17), c = 12.364(6) Å, V = 8400(7) ų, Z = 16, M = 552.26, ρ_calcd = 1.747 g cm^?3 μ = 3.828 mm^?1, and F(000) = 4368. Complex II has a binuclear nine-coordinate pseudomonocapped square antiprismatic conformation and its crystal structure belongs to triclinic system and space P1 group. The crystal data are as follows: a = 9.7637(16), b = 9.9722(16), c = 12.945(2) Å, α= 85.853(2)°, β = 77. 140(2)°, γ = 77.140(2)°, V = 1198.4(3) ų, Z = 1, M = 1340.80, ρ_calcd = 1.858 g cm^?3, μ = 3.380 mm^?1, and F(000) = 674.

However, one of them has binuclear structure and the other two have mononuclear structures because of the difference of the ligands.     

N,N′-methylenedipyridinium Pt(II) and Pt(IV) hybrid salts: synthesis, crystal and molecular structures of [(C5H5N)2CH2] · [PtCl4] and [(C5H5N)2CH2] · [PtCl6]

The highly insoluble organic-inorganic hybrid ionic compounds N,N??-methylenedipyridinium tetrachloroplatinate(II) [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₄] and N,N??-methylenedipyridinium hexachloroplatinate(IV) [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₆] were obtained by the treatment of N,N??-methylenedipyridinium dichloride monohydrate [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂]Cl₂ · H₂O with K₂[PtCl₄] or (NH₄)₂[PtCl₆], respectively, in an aqueous solution. Both complexes were isolated, purified, characterised by elemental analysis, and their molecular structures were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of both compounds consists of separated discrete dications [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂]²⁺ and anions [PtCl _n ]^2? (n = 4 or 6). As anticipated, the dications formed a butterfly shape consisting of two pyridine rings bound to the methylene group via their N atoms, while the Pt centre had a square planar geometry in [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₄] and an octahedral coordination in [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₆]. Interestingly, both crystal structures are stabilised by intermolecular C-H??Cl non-standard hydrogen bonds, ??-?? ring interactions between two pyridine rings of adjacent dications, and also by Cl-?? interactions.

The final product of the thermolysis of II is a mixture of Ru and RuO₂.     

Synthesis and characterisation of [Ag2Pt4(μ-S)4(PPh3)8](BF4)2 · 0.25CHCl3

[Pt₂(μ₂-S)₂(PPh₃)₄] functions effectively as a bridging bidentate ligand towards Ag⁺ to form [Ag₂Pt₄(μ₃-S)₄(PPh₃)₈]²⁺. A single crystal X-ray crystallographic anaylsis of the BF₄⁻ salt has demonstrated that both Ag⁺ ions are linearly coordinated to the sulphur atoms, but the small bite angle of the [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄] ligand leads to an Ag…Ag contact distance of only 2.815(4) Å.     

Synthesis,open-framework structure and thermal behaviour of ammonium tin oxalate,Sn2(NH4)2(C2O4)3·3H2O

A new mixed ammonium tin oxalate trihydrate, Sn₂(NH₄)₂(C₂O₄)₃·3H₂O, has been prepared from evaporation of a solution of tin and ammonium oxalates. Its crystal structure has been solved from single-crystal diffraction data. The symmetry is orthorhombic, space group Pnma (No. 62), cell dimensions a=15.1821(5) Å, b=11.7506(2) Å, c=10.8342(3) Å, and Z=4. The structure consists of macroanionic layers built from [Sn(C₂O₄)₃]^2– groups. The SnO₆ polyhedron can be described as a pseudo pentagonal bipyramid, with the lone pair of electrons presumably occupying one apex. The resulting framework displays holes in which the water molecules and ammonium groups are located. The thermal behaviour of the mixed ammonium tin oxalate has been investigated with temperature-dependent X-ray powder diffraction and conventional thermal analysis. The degradation process has been completely explained, as well as that of oxammite, a phase always obtained in the preparations. The thermal decomposition of oxammite leads to (NH₄)₂C₂O₄ and a new acid salt, NH₄HC₂O₄. The mixed ammonium tin oxalate decomposes successively into the amorphous compounds, Sn₂(NH₄)₂(C₂O₄)₃·H₂O and Sn₂(NH₄)₂(C₂O₄)₃, SnC₂O₄ and, finally, cassiterite SnO₂.

Structural,energetic and thermodynamic analyses of Ca(BH4)2·2NH3 from first principles calculations

Ca(BH₄)₂·2NH₃ is a relatively new compound with potential application in hydrogen storage. Here the fundamental properties of the compound, such as electronic structure, energetic and thermodynamic properties, were comprehensively studied using first-principles calculations. Results from electronic density of states (DOS) and electron localization function (ELF) indicate the covalent bond nature of the N–H bond and the B–H bond. Charge density analyses show weak ionic interactions between the Ca atom and the NH₃ complexes or the (BH₄)^? complexes. The calculated vibration frequencies of B–H and N–H are in good agreement with other theoretical and experimental results. Furthermore, we calculated the reaction enthalpy and reaction Gibbs free energy at a range of temperature 0–700 K. Our results are in good agreement with experimental results in literature. Possible reaction mechanism of the decomposition reaction is proposed.

MIL-86 combines the structural features of templated networks and coordination polymers. Its structure is built up from ZnO₃N tetrahedra and SeO₃ pseudo-pyramids as the polyhedral building units. The ZnN bond corresponds to a direct link between zinc and the ethylenediamine template. In the other hand, MIL-87 is built up from chains of vertex-linked ZnO₄ and SeO₃ building units crosslinked by 1,3-diammonium propane cations. These structures are understood by comparison with the already known organically templated zinc phosphites.
