Hydro­gen‐bonded adducts of ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol): monomeric and dimeric 1:1 adducts with 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethane and 1,2‐­diamino­ethane

In ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–4,4′‐ethyl­enedi­pyridine (1/1), [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₁₂H₁₂N₂, there is an intra­molecular O—H?O hydrogen bond in the ferrocenediol component and a single O—H?N hydrogen bond linking the two components into a finite monomeric adduct. Ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–ethyl­enedi­amine (1/1), [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₂H₈N₂, crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in space group P, and there are two independent four‐component aggregates in the structure, both of which are centrosymmetric. In the first type of aggregate, the molecular components are linked by O—H?N and N—H?O hydrogen bonds, in which both di­amine N atoms participate; in the second type of aggregate, the di­amine component is disordered over two sets of sites, but only one N atom is involved in the hydrogen bonding.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded adducts of ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol): a finite cyclic 1:1 adduct with 2,2′‐dipyridyl­amine

In ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–2,2′‐dipyridyl­amine (1/1), [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₁₀H₉N₃, (I), there is an intramolecular O—H?O hydrogen bond [H?O 2.03 Å, O?O 2.775 (2) Å and O—H?O 147°] in the ferrocenediol component, and the two neutral molecular components are linked by one O—H?N hydrogen bond [H?N 1.96 Å, O?N 2.755 (2) Å and O—H?N, 157°] and one N—H?O hydrogen bond [H?O 2.26 Å, N?O 3.112 (2) Å and N—H?O 164°] forming a cyclic R(8) motif. One of the pyridyl N atoms plays no part in the intermolecular hydrogen bonding, but participates in a short intramolecular C—H?N contact [H?N 2.31 Å, C?N 2.922 (2) Å and C—H?N 122°].     

Hydro­gen‐bonded dimers in N‐(2‐nitro­phenyl­thio)­saccharin

In the title compound, 2‐(2‐nitro­phenyl­thio)‐1,2‐benzo­thia­zol‐3(2H)‐one 1,1‐dioxide, 2‐O₂NC₆H₄S(C₇H₄NO₃S) or C₁₃H₈N₂­O₅S₂, the planes of the saccharin and nitro­phenyl­thiol­ate portions are almost orthogonal. The mol­ecules are linked by C—H?O=S hydrogen bonds [C?O 3.308 (3) Å, H?O 2.44 Å and C—H?O 155°] into cyclic centrosymmetric R²₂(16) dimers, reinforced by aromatic π?π stacking interactions between the nitrated aryl rings.     

Solvent‐free [μ‐ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis(di­phenyl­phosphine‐P)]bis­[chlorogold(I)]

The title compound, [Au₂Cl₂{Fe(C₁₇H₁₄P)₂}], (I), contains the expected linear gold centres. The ferrocene moiety acts as a P,P′‐bridging ligand, wherein the Fe atom lies on an inversion centre. The P—Au—Cl angle is 177.56 (8)° and bond distances Au—P and Au—Cl are 2.2261 (18) and 2.2781 (18) Å, respectively. The structure is almost identical to that of the metal complex in (I)·2CH₂Cl₂ [Canales, Gimeno, Jones, Laguna & Sarroca (1997). Inorg. Chem. 36 , 5206–5211], but differs considerably from that in 3(I)·2CHCl₃ [Hill, Girard, McCabe, Johnson, Stupik, Zhang, Reiff & Eggleston (1989). Inorg. Chem. 28 , 3529–3533], in that in the latter, the two independent mol­ecules are linked by a short Au?Au contact.     

cis,cis,cis‐(Acetato‐O,O′)­bis­[1,2‐bis­(di­phenyl­phosphino)­ethane‐P,P′]­ruthenium(II) hexa­fluoro­phosphate di­methanol solvate

In the cation of the title complex, cis,cis,cis‐[Ru(η²‐O₂CMe)(dppe)₂]PF₆·2MeOH [dppe is 1,2‐bis­(di­phenyl­phosphino)­ethane, C₂₆H₂₄P₂], the Ru atom is in a pseudo‐octahedral coordination environment with two chelating dppe ligands and one chelating acetate ligand. Intra‐phosphine and intra‐acetate bond lengths and angles are unexceptional. Deviations from idealized octahedral coordination angles at ruthenium [O—Ru—O 59.43 (8)° and P—Ru—P 103.19 (2)°] presumably derive from constraints imposed by the chelate rings. The Ru—P distances for the mutually trans P‐donor atoms [2.3785 (6) Å] are significantly longer than those for the Ru—P linkages trans to the acetate ligand [2.3074 (6) Å]. The Ru1, C1 and C2 atoms lie on a twofold axis, and atom P3 of the anion lies on an inversion centre.

Crystals of the title compound, C₁₈H₂₀N₄O₄, contain equal numbers of (R,R) and (S,S) mol­ecules, but these are not precise enantiomorphs, neither are they related by crystallographic symmetry; in addition, each mol­ecule exhibits approximate, but not exact, twofold rotational symmetry. There are intramolecular N—H?O hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.609 (4)–2.638 (5) Å; N—H?O 125–132°] and the mol­ecules are linked into molecular ladders by C—H?O hydrogen bonds [C?O 3.306 (6)–3.386 (6) Å; C—H?O 146–160°].

In the crystal, each [Sb₂Cl₈]^2? anion is involved in eight C—H?Cl interactions with four surrounding cations and these interactions interconnect the ions to form molecular columns along the a direction.

The title compound, [Re₂O₃(C₁₉H₂₀N₂O₂)₂], is a hexacoordinate complex containing an [Re₂O₃]⁴⁺ core with a linear O=Re—O—Re=O bridge. The distorted octahedral coordination of the Re^V atom is achieved by an N₂O₂ donor set from the tetradentate imine–phenol ligand. The overall charge of the compound is neutral due to deprotonation of the phenol groups, and the terminating and bridging O atoms. The Re=O and Re—O bond distances of the [Re₂O₃]⁴⁺ core are 1.699 (4) and 1.911 (1) Å, respectively. The Re—O and Re—N bond distances of the equatorial plane are in the ranges 2.024 (4)–2.013 (4) and 2.128 (5)–2.120 (5) Å, respectively.

Contacts of the form C—H?Cl are present, one involving alkyl and the other aryl hydrogen, with C?Cl distances of 3.556 (4) and 3.664 (6) Å, respectively.     

Intermolecular contacts in the crystal packing of 2,2′‐(N,N′‐oxalyldiimino)­bis(3‐phenyl­propanamide) di­methyl sulfoxide solvate

In the title compound, C₂₀H₂₂N₄O₄·C₂H₆OS, two distinct hydrogen‐bond systems connect oxal­amide groups in one pattern and primary amide groups in the other to form a two‐dimensional network perpendicular to the c axis. These hydro­philic layers are joined to the three‐dimensional structure through C—H?π interactions. The hydrogen‐bonded waved layers shape holes which are occupied by disordered di­methyl sulfoxide solvent mol­ecules.
