trans‐Bis[3‐(2‐fluorophenyl)‐1‐(4‐nitrophenyl)triazenido‐κN3]bis(pyridine‐κN)palladium(II)

In the title complex, [Pd(C₁₂H₈FN₄O₂)₂(C₅H₅N)₂] or trans‐[Pd(FC₆H₄N=N—NC₆H₄NO₂)(C₅H₅N)₂], the Pd atom lies on a centre of inversion in space group P. The coordination geometry about the Pd²⁺ ion is square planar, with two deprotonated 3‐(2‐fluoro­phenyl)‐1‐(4‐nitro­phenyl)­triazenide ions, FC₆H₄N=N—NC₆H₄NO₂^?, acting as monodentate ligands (two‐electron donors), while two neutral pyridine mol­ecules complete the metal coordination sphere. The whole triazenide ligand is not planar, with the largest interplanar angle being 16.8 (5)° between the phenyl ring of the 2‐­fluorophenyl group and the plane defined by the N=N—N moiety. The Pd—N(triazenide) and Pd—N(pyridine) distances are 2.021 (3) and 2.039 (3) Å, respectively.     

Conformational change induced by hydration: trans‐dichloro­bis­[(1R,2R,3R,5S)‐(–)‐isopinocampheylamine]palladium(II) and trans‐dichloro­bis[(1S,2S,3S,5R)‐(+)‐isopinocampheylamine]palladium(II) hemihydrate

The title compounds, trans‐dichloro­bis[(1R,2R,3R,5S)‐(−)‐2,6,6‐trimethyl­bicyclo­[3.1.1]heptan‐3‐amine]palladium(II), [PdCl₂(C₁₀H₁₉N)₂], and trans‐dichloro­bis[(1S,2S,3S,5R)‐(+)‐2,6,6‐trimethyl­bicyclo­[3.1.1]heptan‐3‐amine]palladium(II) hemihydrate, [PdCl₂(C₁₀H₁₉N)₂]·0.5H₂O, present different arrangements of the amine ligands coordinated to Pd^II, viz. antiperiplanar in the former case and (−)anticlinal in the latter. The hemihydrate is an inclusion compound, with a Pd coordination complex and disordered water mol­ecules residing on crystallographic twofold axes. The crystal structure for the hemihydrate includes a short Pd⋯Pd separation of 3.4133 (13) Å.     

Tetraiodide von Tris(1,2‐ethandiamin)komplexen der Metalle Zink und Nickel

The isotypic compounds tris(1,2‐ethanedi­amine‐N,N′)­zinc(II) triiodide iodide, [Zn(C₂H₈N₂)₃](I₃)I, and tris(1,2‐ethanedi­amine‐N,N′)­nickel(II) triiodide iodide, [Ni(C₂H₈N₂)₃](I₃)I, contain the octahedral [M(en)₃]²⁺ cation, with M = Zn and Ni, in both enantiomeric forms, an essentially linear triiodide anion and an iodide anion. The geometries of the complex ions are as expected, e.g.d(Ni—N) = 2.123 (5), 2.127 (6) and 2.134 (5) Å, and d(Zn—N) = 2.176 (4), 2.193 (4) and 2.210 (4) Å. The shortest contact between the triiodide and iodide ions is 3.979 (1) Å for the nickel compound and 4.013 (1) Å for the zinc compound.     

Polymeric (3‐amino‐2‐chloropyridine)nitratosilver(I)

In the title compound {alternative name: poly­[silver(I)‐μ‐(3‐­amino‐2‐chloro­pyridine)‐μ‐nitr­ato]}, [Ag(NO₃)(C₅H₅ClN₂)]_n the Ag^I atom is in an irregular AgN₂O₃ geometry, surrounded by one pyridyl N atom [Ag—N 2.283 (5) Å], one amine N atom [Ag—N 2.364 (6) Å] and three O atoms from different nitrate ions [Ag—O 2.510 (6)–2.707 (6) Å]. The Ag ions are bridged by the 3‐amino‐2‐chloro­pyridine ligands into helical chains. Adjacent uniform chiral chains are further interlinked through the NO₃ bridges into an interesting two‐dimensional coordination network in the solid.     

[5‐Benzyl‐3‐phenyl‐2‐(2‐pyridyl‐κN)thiazolidin‐4‐one‐κS]dichloropalladium(II)

The palladium(II) centre in the title compound, [PdCl₂(C₂₁H₁₈N₂OS)], is coordinated to the pyridyl N atom and to the thia­zolidinone S atom of the 5‐benzyl‐3‐phenyl‐2‐(2‐pyridyl)­thia­zolidin‐4‐one ligand, resulting in a five‐membered chelate ring. Two cis‐chloro ligands complete the square‐planar coordination environment of the metal. Although the geometry at the Pd centre is essentially planar, the N—Pd—S bite angle of 85.20 (8)° causes deviations in the cis angles from the ideal value of 90°. Opposite enantiomers form one‐dimensional chains in the cell via a short S?O intermolecular interaction.     

Low‐dimensional compounds containing cyano groups. I. catena‐Poly[[[dicyanoargentato(I)‐κN]bis(4‐methylpyridine‐κN)copper(II)]‐μ‐dicyanoargentato(I)‐κ2N:N′]

The structure of the title compound, [Cu(C₆H₇N)₂{Ag(CN)₂}₂]_n, is made up of neutral zigzag chains of [–NC–Ag–CN–Cu(4‐Mepy)₂{Ag(CN)₂}–NC–Ag–CN–] (4‐Mepy is 4‐methyl­pyridine). Neighbouring chains are linked by weak argentophilic interactions, with Ag?Ag distances of 3.2322 (12) Å. The Cu atom, which lies on a twofold rotation axis, is pentacoordinated by one monodentate Ag(CN)₂^? anion [Cu—N 1.985 (3) Å], the atoms of which lie on the same rotation axis, and by bridging di­cyano­argentate anions [2 × Cu—N 2.0827 (19) Å], with Ag atoms on inversion centres. The coordination polyhedron is completed by two 4‐Mepy mol­ecules [2 × Cu—N 2.038 (2) Å], which occupy the axial positions of a distorted trigonal bipyramid.     

Tetrakis(dimethyl sulfide)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate) and tetrakis(1,4‐oxathiane‐κS)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate)

Tetrakis(dimethyl sulfide)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate), [Pd(C₂H₆S)₄](BF₄)₂, (I), and tetrakis(1,4‐oxa­thiane‐κS)palladium(II) bis­(tetra­fluoro­borate), [Pd(C₄H₈OS)₄](BF₄)₂, (II), both crystallize as mononuclear square‐planar complexes with tetra­fluoro­borate as the counter‐ions. The Pd atom accepts four S‐donor atoms and is positioned at an inversion centre in both compounds. The two unique S atoms in the di­methyl sulfide complex, (I), are disordered. The Pd—S distances are in the range 2.3338 (12)–2.3375 (12) Å in (I), and the corresponding distances in the thio­xane complex, (II), are 2.3293 (17) and 2.3406 (17) Å. The anions in both compounds interact weakly with the Pd atom.     

(3,8,9,14‐Tetraethyl‐2,4,13,15‐tetramethyltripyrrinato)(trifluoroacetato)­palladium(II)

In the crystal structure, the title compound {systematic name: [2,5‐bis­(4‐ethyl‐3,5‐dimethyl‐2H‐pyrrol‐2‐ylidene­meth­yl)‐1H‐pyrrolato](trifluoroacetato)palladium(II)}, [Pd(C₂F₃O₂)(C₂₇H₃₄N₃)], forms chiral mol­ecules with a helical distortion of the tripyrrinate ligand backbone and an essentially planar PdN₃O core, with Pd—N distances ranging from 1.977 (3) to 2.045 (3) Å and a Pd—O distance of 2.051 (2) Å. This distortion of the organic ligand is considered as the conformational answer to the steric inter­action of the terminal methyl groups of the tripyrrinate ligand with the donor O atom of the trifluoro­acetate group.     

cis‐[1,4‐Bis(di­phenyl­phosphino)­butane](μ‐tetra­thio­tungstato)­palladium(II) N,N′‐di­methyl­form­amide hemisolvate hemihydrate

In the title compound, [1,4‐bis(di­phenyl­phosphino)­butane‐2κ²P,P′]­di‐μ‐thio‐1:2κ⁴S‐di­thio‐1κ²S‐palladium(II)­tung­sten(VI) N,N′‐di­methyl­form­amide hemisolvate hemihydrate, [PdWS₄­(C₂₈H₂₈P₂)]·0.5C₃H₇NO·0.5H₂O, the Pd atom is coordinated by two S atoms from the distorted‐tetrahedral [WS₄]²⁻ anion and two P atoms from the dppb mol­ecule [dppb is 1,4‐bis(di­phenyl­phos­phino)­butane] in an approximately square‐planar configuration. A puckered seven‐membered ring is formed by the Pd atom and the dppb ligand.     

Bis­[bis­(pyrimidin‐2‐yl‐κN)­amine](dicyan­amido‐κN1)(tri­fluoro­methanesulfonato‐κO)copper(II) ethanol hemisolvate forms a hydrogen‐bonded chain

In the crystal structure of [Cu(CF₃SO₃)(C₂N₃)(C₈H₇N₅)₂]·0.5C₂H₆O, the Cu^II atom adopts a distorted octahedral geometry, with the basal plane formed by two N atoms of one dipyrimidinyl­amine ligand, one N atom of the second pyrimidine ligand and a nitrile N atom of the dicyan­amide anion [Cu—N = 1.972 (2)–2.021 (2) Å]. The apical positions are occupied by an N atom of the second ligand [Cu—N = 2.208 (2) Å], and an O atom of the tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate anion [Cu—O = 2.747 (2) Å] at a semi‐coordination distance. Pairs of inversion‐related N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds of the so‐called Watson–Crick type, augmented by two C—H⋯N contacts, link adjacent complexes into an infinite one‐dimensional chain running in the [101] direction.     

Tris(1,9‐diethyl­adeninium) triiodide diiodide

X‐ray analysis of the title compound reveals three crystallographically distinct cations of 1,9‐diethyl­adeninium, two iodide anions and one triiodide anion in the asymmetric unit, giving six residues and the formula 3C₉H₁₄N₅⁺·I₃⁻·2I⁻. Standard purine nomenclature is used to identify the atoms of each adenine moiety. Hydrogen bonding is observed between atoms N6 and N7 of a pair of cations [N⋯N = 2.885 (4)/2.902 (3) and 2.854 (3)/2.854 (3) Å], with additional hydrogen bonding to I⁻ anions via the other N6 H atom [N⋯I = 3.708 (3), 3.738 (3) and 3.638 (3) Å]. The triiodide anion is not involved in hydrogen bonding. The bond lengths and angles of the 1,9‐diethyl­adeninium cations are compared with literature values and confirm the formation of the imine tautomer.     

Bis(3,5‐di­methyl­pyrazole‐κN2)silver(I) nitrate

The two independent bis(3,5‐di­methyl­pyrazole)silver(I) cations in crystalline [Ag(C₅H₇N₂)₂]NO₃ display N—Ag—N angles of 175.51 (14) and 174.44 (13)°, and an average Ag—N distance of 2.124 (5) Å. The nitrate anion is situated between [Ag(C₅H₇N₂)₂]⁺ units and interacts via hydrogen bonds with the NH groups. The two 3,5‐di­methyl­pyrazole ligands are trans about the silver center. Only a small deviation from linearity is observed in the coordination around silver.     

trans‐Diaquabis(1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐di­carboxyl­ate‐κ2N3,O4)­manganese(II)

In the title compound, [Mn(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂], the Mn^II atom lies on an inversion centre, is trans‐coordinated by two N,O‐bidentate 1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐di­carboxyl­ate monoanionic ligands [Mn—O = 2.202 (3) Å and Mn—N = 2.201 (4) Å] and two water mol­ecules [Mn—O = 2.197 (4) Å], and exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry, with adjacent cis angles of 76.45 (13), 86.09 (13) and 89.20 (13)°. The complete solid‐state structure can be described as a three‐dimensional supramol­ecular framework, stabilized by extensive hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving the coordinated water mol­ecules, the carboxy O atoms and the protonated imidazole N atoms of the imidazole‐4,5‐di­carboxyl­ate ligands.     

1,4‐Dimethyl‐1,4‐diazo­nia­bicyclo­[2.2.2]octane diiodide acetonitrile solvate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₈H₁₈N₂²⁺·2I⁻·CH₃CN, the dication lies on a mirror plane containing the mol­ecular dication threefold axis. The structure displays C—H⋯I inter­actions between H atoms of the 1,4‐dimethyl‐1,4‐diazo­nia­bicyclo­[2.2.2]octane dication and the iodide anions. The H⋯I distances are in the range 2.96–3.18 (4) Å. The dications pack forming channels along the b axis, which contain the iodide anions and acetonitrile solvent mol­ecules.     

catena‐Poly­[[(benzoato‐κO)silver(I)]‐μ‐2‐amino­pyrimidine‐κ2N1:N3]

The title complex, [Ag(C₇H₅O₂)(C₄H₅N₃)]_n, is a polymer based on a mononuclear silver(I)‐centered fragment. The Ag^I atom is trigonally coordinated by two N atoms from two 2‐­amino­pyrimidine ligands and one O atom from one benzoate anion, giving zigzag polymeric chains with an [–Ag—N—C—N–]_n backbone running along the a axis. It is proposed that intermolecular hydrogen bonding drives the formation of the chain polymer.     

trans‐Bis(3,5‐di­aza‐1‐azonia‐7‐phosphaadamantane‐κP)­bis­(thiocyanato‐κS)­palladium(II) bis­(thio­cyanate)

The crystal structure of the title compound, trans‐[Pd(NCS)₂(C₆H₁₃N₃P)₂](NCS)₂, is one of the few pal­ladium(II) complexes containing two protonated water‐soluble 1,3,5‐tri­aza‐7‐phos­pha­adamantane (PTA) ligands re­ported to date. The compound displays a distorted square‐planar geometry, with the Pd atom on an inversion centre and with the S atoms of the thio­cyanate counter‐ions occupying the axial positions above and below the equatorial plane described by the phosphine and thio­cyanate ligands. Geometric parameters for the formal coordination polyhedron include a Pd—P distance of 2.2940 (8) Å, a Pd—S distance of 2.3509 (8) Å and a P—Pd—S angle of 89.45 (3)°. The effective cone angle for the PTA ligands was calculated as 114.5°.     

(12,17‐Diethoxy­carbonyl‐2,3,6,­7,11,­18‐hexa­methyl­corrphy­cenato‐­κ4N)iodoiron(III) chloro­form solvate

The title complex, (diethyl 3,4,8,15,19,20‐hexa­methyl‐21,22,23,24‐tetraazopenta­cyclo­[16.2.1.1^2,5.1^7,11.1^14,17]­tetracosa‐1(20),2(22),3,5,7,9,11,13(24),14,16,18‐undecaene‐9,14‐dicarb­oxyl­ate‐κ⁴N)­iodo­iron(III) chloro­form solvate, [Fe(C₃₂H₃₂­N₄O₄)I]·­CHCl₃, shows an almost planar arrangement of the corrphycene moiety with a slightly distorted trapezoid pyramidal core; the Fe^III atom is 0.416 (1) Å from the plane of the C₂₀N₄ system. The Fe—N distances are 2.049 (3), 2.044 (3), 2.079 (3) and 2.075 (3) Å. The solvated chloro­form forms a C—H?O hydrogen bond [C?O 3.107 (10) Å] to an adjacent carbonyl O atom. This is the first X‐ray structure analysis of a corrphycenatoiron(III) derivative.     

The CoIII—C bond in (1‐thia‐4,7‐diazacyclodecyl‐κ3N4,N7,C10)(1,4,7‐triazacyclononane‐κ3N1,N4,N7)cobalt(III) dithionate hydrate

In the title compound, [Co(C₆H₁₅N₃)(C₇H₁₅N₂S)]S₂O₆·H₂O, the Co—C bond distance is 1.9930 (13) Å, which is shorter than for related compounds with the linear 1,6‐di­amino‐3‐thia­hexan‐4‐ide anion in place of the macrocyclic 1‐thia‐4,7‐diazacyclo­decan‐8‐ide anion. The coordinated carbanion produces an elongation of 0.102 (7) Å of the Co—N bond to the 1,4,7‐tri­aza­cyclo­nonane N atom in the trans position. This relatively small trans influence is presumably a result of the tri­amine ligand forming strong bonds to the Co^III atom.     

catena‐Poly[[dicyanamido(5,5′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)copper(II)]‐μ‐dicyanamido‐κ2N1:N5]

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C₂N₃)₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)]_n, the Cu^II atom adopts a distorted square‐pyramidal geometry, the basal plane of which is formed by two N atoms of the bi­pyridine ligand, one N atom of a bidentate dicyan­amide anion and one N atom of a monodentate dicyan­amide anion [Cu—N = 1.9760 (15)–2.0157 (15) Å]. The apical position is occupied by an N atom of a bidentate dicyan­amide anion, located 2.2468 (16) Å from the Cu atom, thus forming a one‐dimensional polymeric chain.     

catena‐Poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)­silver(I)]‐μ‐nicotinato] and catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato]

In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐nico­tinato‐κ²N:O], [Ag(C₆H₄NO₂)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms from the di‐2‐pyridyl­amine (BPA) ligand [Ag—N = 2.3785 (18) and 2.3298 (18) Å] and by one N atom and one carboxyl­ate O atom from nicotinate ligands [Ag—N = 2.2827 (15) Å and Ag—O = 2.3636 (14) Å]. Bridging by nicotinate N and O atoms generates a polymeric chain structure, which extends along [100]. The carboxyl O atom not bonded to the Ag atom takes part in an intrachain C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, further stabilizing the chain. Pairs of chains are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate ribbons. There are no π–π interactions in this complex. In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato‐κ²O¹:O²], [Ag(C₇H₅O₄)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with three strong bonds to two pyridine N atoms from the BPA ligand [Ag—N = 2.286 (5) and 2.320 (5) Å] and to one carboxyl­ate O atom from the 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligand [Ag—O = 2.222 (4) Å]; the fourth, weaker, Ag‐atom coordination is to one of the phenol O atoms [Ag⋯O = 2.703 (4) Å] of an adjacent moiety, and this interaction generates a polymeric chain along [100]. Pairs of chains are linked about inversion centers by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form ribbons, within which there are π–π interactions. The ribbons are linked about inversion centers by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and additional π–π interactions between inversion‐related pairs of 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligands to generate a three‐dimensional network.
