Crystal data: space group P \( \overline 1 \), a = 8.799(2) Å, b = 9.590(1) Å, c = 18.684(4) Å, α = 89.63(1)°, β = 79.56(1)°, γ = 79.74(1)°, V = 1525.2(5) ų, Z = 2, R ₁ = 0.0562 and wR = 0.1033. In the title compound, thiourea molecules, fumaric acid and fumarate anions are joined together by typical O–H···O, N–H···O and N–H···S, plus weak C–H···O and C–H···S, hydrogen bonds to generate a hydrogen-bonded layer corresponding to the (100) family of planes. The tetra-n-butylammonium cations are orderly arranged in a sandwich-like packing mode between the stacked layers.

Inclusion Compounds of the Host 9-(4-Methylphenyl)-9<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-xanthen-9-ol with a Series of Organic Guests

Abstract  The host 9-(4-methylphenyl)-9H-xanthen-9-ol (H) forms inclusion compounds with the guests cyclohexane (H · ?CHEX), benzene (H · ?BENZ), 1,4-dioxane (H · ?DIOX), cyclohexanone (H · CYONE), N,N-dimethylformamide (H · DMF) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (H · DMA). For those guest molecules possessing electron acceptor atoms/functionalities hydrogen bonding with the host is the prominent mode of interaction and presents itself in the form of (Host)–OH···O(Guest) linkages. The cyclohexane and benzene guests however, occupy voids created by neighbouring host molecules which form hydrogen bonded dimers of the form (Host)–OH···O(Host). The structures of the inclusion compounds were investigated and their thermal stabilities determined. Selectivity experiments were also conducted.

Cu(II) Compounds with Pyrimidine-Based Chelating Ligands,Bridged by a Flexible Alkyl Spacer: Synthesis,Characterisation and X-Ray Structures of Methoxide-Bridged Dinuclear-Based Species

Abstract  The synthesis and full structural characterisation is described of 3 dinuclear-based Cu(II) compounds bridged by methoxide anions, and flexible linear bis(pyrimidine)-α,ω-diaminoalkane ligands. The structures are dinuclear based in all cases, in which the bis(pyrimidine)diaminoalkane ligand chelates to 2 Cu(II) ions in the same dinuclear unit (N–C–C–C–C–C–N linker), or to two different dinuclear units (with the short N–C–C–N linker), thereby generating a polymeric chain. The magnetic exchange in the compounds is dominated by the alkoxido-bridged ligands, which generate a very strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the Cu(II) ions, resulting in diamagnetism at room temperature and below, and EPR silent behaviour. Index Abstract  Dinuclear-based Cu(II) compounds with pyrimidine-based chelating ligands flexible linear bis(pyrimidine)-α,ω-diaminoalkane ligands are described, bridged by methoxide anions. The structures are dinuclear based in all cases, with the ligand chelating to 2 Cu(II) ions in the same dinuclear unit (N–C–C–C–C–C–N linker), or to 2 different dinuclear units (with short N–C–C–N linkers). The very strong antiferromagnetic magnetic exchange in all compounds is caused by the alkoxido-bridged ligands.

Distortion Isomerism of Cu(II) Chloride Adducts with Bis(2-benzimidazolyl)ethane. Synthesis,Characterization, X-ray Structures and Spectroscopy of Four Different Isomers

3D structures and spectroscopic properties are reported of four compounds with the ligand bis(2-benzimidazolyl)ethane (hereafter abbreviated as dbz) attached to CuCl₂, all having the general formula [Cu(dbz)Cl₂](Hb) _x . (in which Hb = EtOH or MeOH and x = 1/2 or 1). The X-ray crystal structure has been solved from these four slightly different compounds, namely: green α-[CuCl₂dbz](C₂H₅OH)_1/2 (1), the red compound β-[CuCl₂dbz](C₂H₅OH)_1/2 (2), which both have two slightly different units in the unit cell, the red α-[CuCl₂dbz](CH₃OH) (3) and a blue–green compound β-[CuCl₂dbz](CH₃OH) (4). The geometry around the Cu(II) anion is distorted tetrahedral for all four compounds, with chromophores consisting of two nitrogen atoms of the bidentate chelating dbz molecule and two chloride anions. The unit cells of compound 1 and 2 consist of two chemically identical, but crystallographically different units, while compounds 3 and 4 each have only one independent CuCl₂-(dbz) unit. The major differences are observed in the dihedral angles NCuN–ClCuCl, which vary from 29.3 to 77.1° for the four compounds. The differences are related to different packing effects, ring–ring stacking and H-bond interaction, due to the two different alcohols used. In fact these four compounds represent a new range of examples of distortion isomerism in pseudo-tetrahedrally coordinated species. Characterisation of the four compounds has been completed by IR, EPR and LF spectroscopy.

Crystal structure of di(N-benzyl piperidinium) pentachloroantimonate(III) dihydrate

The salt di(N-benzyl piperidinium) pentachloroantimonate(III) dihydrate crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with space group Cmc2₁, the unit cell dimensions are: a = 29.383(1), b = 10.509(2), c = 9.941(1) Å, with Z = 8. The structure shows a layer arrangement perpendicular to the a axis: planes of SbCl₆ octahedra alternate with planes of [C₁₂H₁₇N]⁺ cations. The SbCl₆ octahedra are connected through a O(W)–HCl hydrogen bonds and a chlorine bridge, so that infinite unidimensional chains of composition [SbCl₅(H₂O)₂]^2n– _n are formed in the structure along the c direction. These chains are connected to [C₁₂H₁₇N]⁺ entities by N–HCl and N–HO(W) hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. It was found that lengths of Sb–Cl bonds may differ from each other. The differences shown as a distortion of the SbCl₆ octahedra were attributed to the Sb(III) lone electron pair stereoactivity.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Cyano-Bridged Bimetallic Nickel(II)–Silver(I) Complex, [Ni(dmen)<Subscript>2</Subscript>{Ag(CN)<Subscript>2</Subscript>}<Subscript>2</Subscript>] · 0.5H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O

A cyano-bridged heteronuclear bimetallic complex [Ni(dmen)₂{Ag(CN)₂}₂] · 0.5H₂O (dmen = N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine) has been prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy and X-ray Crystallography. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. The crystal structure of the complex consists of two independent centrosymmetric trinuclear molecules made up of a [Ni(dmen)₂] ⁺² unit linked to two [Ag(CN)₂]⁻ anions in a trans configuration. The trinuclear units are joined by hydrogen bonding to form irregular chains.
