Synthesis and crystal structure of [Ni(H2O)6](C19H17O9S)2·2H2O

A water soluble flavonoid sulfate, [Ni(H₂O)₆](C₁₉H₁₇O₉S)₂·2H₂O was synthesized and its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal of it belongs to triclinic crystal system, space group P–1. The results show that the title compound consists of [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺, C₁₉H₁₇O₆SO₃ ⁻ and H₂O. Ni(II) is located on the symmetry center and octahedrally coordinated by six water molecules. A variety of hydrogen bonds among [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺, C₁₉H₁₇O₆SO₃ ⁻ and the lattice water molecules build a hydrophilic region. Aromatic π–π stacking interactions assemble isoflavone skeletons into a column and the columns form a hydrophobic region of the title compound. The sulfo-groups bridge the hydrophilic regions and the hydrophobic regions as well as the inorganic components and organic components. Hydrogen bonds, stacking interactions and the electrostatic interactions between cation [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and anion sulfonate C₁₉H₁₇O₆SO₃ ⁻ lead the moieties to a three-dimensional structure.

Some properties of aqueous solutions of α-NiSO4 · 6H2O

The concentration dependences of the properties of solutions of ??-NiSO₄ · 6H₂O (mineral retgersite) in H₂O and 20% H₂SO₄ have been measured in a wide range of concentrations (up to ??20 solvent molecules per dissolved-salt molecule). It is shown that the solution density, the light absorption coefficient at a wavelength of 394 nm, and the intensity of the Raman scattering peak characteristic of the sulfate ion depend linearly on the bulk salt concentration in the solutions. No shift of the Raman peak as a result of a change in the concentration was observed. These facts indicate that the type of dissolved particles and the character of interactions between them and with the solvent remain the same with an increase in the salt concentration. The data in the literature on the formation of ion pairs in retgersite solutions are discussed.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of a new bimetallic complex of diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid: [YbAg2(dtpa)(H2O)]·3H2O

The reaction between Yb(III) nitrate, Ag(I) nitrate, and the diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (dtpa) ligand gives rise to a bimetallic complex. [YbAg₂(dtpa)(H₂O)]·3H₂O is triclinic, space group P-1, with a = 8.768 (3), b = 9.862 (2), c = 13.055 (2) Å, = 75.40 (1), = 83.00 (2) and = 87.46 (2)°. Each dtpa is coordinated to one ytterbium and six silver atoms. The resulting crystal structure can be described as 2D packing. In the layers, the ytterbium atoms are connected through [Ag(COO)]₂ dimers. Strong hydrogen bonds, involving the noncoordinated water molecules, ensure crystal cohesion.

The (HAgu)₂B₆H₆ · 2H₂O compound was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined [R = 0.0385 for 2018 reflections with I > 2σ(I)]. The structure consists of HAgu ⁺ cations, centrosymmetric B₆H ₆ ^2? anions, and water molecules. The anions have an almost regular octahedral structure. The bond lengths and angles lie within the following narrow ranges: B-B, 1.715–1.726(2) Å; B-H, 1.08–1.14(2) Å; B-B-B, 59.72°–60.29(9)° and 89.63°–90.20(11)°; and B-B-H, 133.2°–137.0(9)°. The HAgu ⁺ cations and water molecules are involved in the O-H?O, N-H?O, and N-N?N hydrogen bonds and participate in numerous (N, O)-H?H-B specific interactions with the B₆H ₆ ^2? anions, which results in splitting and high-frequency shift of the band of B-H stretching vibrations in the IR spectrum.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of [Co(phen)(H2O)4](SO4)⋅2(H2O)

Crystal structure and hydrogen-bonding system of cholic acid hemihydrate,C24H40O5·1/2H2O

Crystals of the hemihydrate of this bile acid are hexagonal, space groupP6₅22, a=b=13.736(8)Å,c=85.06(6)Å,V=13,899ų. The asymmetric unit contains two independent steroid molecules and one water molecule, the latter disordered over two nonequivalent positions.Z=12[2(C₂₄H₄₀O₅)·1(H₂O)],F(000)=5496. Structure solution by direct methods; refinement by least-squares, toR=0.072. The complex hydrogen-bond system comprises: (a) three standard ordered O-HO hydrogen-bonds; (b) what is probably a symmetrically hydrogen-bonded carboxylic acid dimer, with a twofold rotation axisin the plane of the two carboxyl groups; (c) helical hydrogen-bonding chains about each 6₅ axis, disordered over four possible arrangements. In these helical chains, the six independent hydrogen-bonds can as a group be in either of two systems of nearly equivalent flip-flop arrangements: O-HO OH-O. Each helical system includes water, which can occupy either of two sites; thus, there is further disorder involving two sets of nonequivalent hydrogen-bonds with water as donor and acceptor. Many aggregation features here differ markedly from those in the crystal structures of either anhydrous cholic acid or cholic acid monohydrate.
