Crystals of compounds I and II are isostructural. The copper atom in the structures of compounds I and I coordinates two singly deprotonated bidentate molecules of the ligand through the phenol oxygen atoms and the azomethine nitrogen atoms with the formation of a distorted planar square. In the crystals, complexes I and II form one-dimensional infinite chains along the b axis.

Both vertices of the bipyramid are occupied by the oxygen atoms of the amino alcohol groups of the neighboring complexes, which are related to the initial complex through the center of symmetry. In turn, the oxygen atoms of the alcohol groups of the initial complex are located at the vertices of the coordination bipyramids of the metal atoms of the neighboring centrosymmetric complexes, thus forming infinite polymer chains along the a axis.

Synthesis and crystal structure of thiosemicarbazide complexes of nickel(II) and copper(II)

Thiosemicarbazide complexes of nickel(II) [Ni(TSC)₂](HSal)₂ (I) and copper(II) [Cu(TSC)₂](HSal)₂ (Ia) (TSC is thiosemicarbazide and HSal is a salycilate anion), as well as complexes [Ni(TSC)₂](SO₄) · 2H₂O (II) and [Ni(TSC)₃]Cl₂ · H₂O (III), are synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.

In I and Ia, two planar salycilate anions sandwich a planar centrosymmetric [Ni(TSC)₂]²⁺ cation to form a supermolecule. The cation and anions are additionally bound by hydrogen bonds. Other hydrogen bonds connect supermolecules into planar layers. In structure II, centrosymmetric [Ni(TSC)₂]²⁺ cations are connected by ??-stacking interactions into supramolecular ensembles of a specific type. The ensembles, water molecules, and (SO₄)^2? anions are bound in the crystal via hydrogen bonds. In the [Ni(TSC)₃]²⁺ cation of structure III, ligands coordinate the Ni atom by the bidentate chelate pattern with the formation of five-membered metallocycles. These metallocycles have an envelope conformation unlike those in I and II, which are planar. In III (unlike in analogous complexes), a meridional isomer of the coordination octahedron of the Ni atom is formed. Together with Cl1^? and Cl2^? anions, cations form supermolecules, which are packed into planar layers with a square-cellular structure. The layers are linked by hydrogen bonds formed by crystallization water molecules that are located between the layers.

Crystal structures of 5-Bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde,and 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde 4-(2-pyridyl) thiosemicarbazones

5-Bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde, and 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde 4-(2-pyridyl) thiosemicarbazones (I–III, respectively) were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. All these molecules are almost planar. The presence of bulky substituents at the terminal nitrogen atoms of these molecules does not lead to changes in the conformation of the thiosemicarbazide moiety. Depending on the nature of substituents in the phenol rings, the crystals are composed of either centrosymmetric dimers (I) or infinite chains (II and III). In the concentration range of 10^?5–10^?7 mol/L, thiosemicarbazones I–III selectively inhibit the growth of human myeloid leukemia HL60 cells.     

Alkylation of a bioinspired high spin Ni(II)N3S2 complex with bifunctional reagents

Crystal structures of two S-alkylated complexes generated from the reaction of iodoacetamide and iodoethanol with an air and moisture sensitive high spin Ni(II) pentacoordinate triaminodithiolate complex, 1 are determined by X-ray structure analysis. Crystals of complex 2, [NiC₁₆H₃₁N₅O₂S₂]I₂, are triclinic, sp. gr. $P\bar 1$ , Z = 2. Crystals of complex 3, [NiC₁₆H₂₈N₃O₂S₂]I₂, are monoclinic, sp. gr. P2₁/c, Z = 4. Structures of complexes 2 and 3 are very similar: one of the S-acetamide (2) or S-ethanol (3) groups coordinates to the Ni center through the oxygen atom forming N₃S₂O hexacoordination; the other group remains unbound to the Ni and left dangling. Crystal packing shows that complexes 2 and 3 interact with the iodide counterions, and that only complex 2 interact with neighboring molecules; some of these close intermolecular contacts include H-bonding interactions.     

Supramolecular architecture of two charge-transfer complexes based on 2,7-(X, X)-4,5-dinitro-9-dicyanomethylenefluorenes (X = NO2 or CN) and tetrathiafulvalene

The crystal packings of two charge-transfer complexes based on tetrathiafulvalene and substituted fluorenes-2,4,5,7-tetranitro-9-dicyanomethylenefluorene (in complex I) or 2,7-dicyano-4,5-dinitro-9-dicyanomethylenefluorene (in complex II)— are analyzed. Crystals of complex II involve a third component, namely, C₆H₅Cl solvate molecules. Crystals of both complexes are characterized by the formation of stacks composed of alternating donor and acceptor molecules and sheets in which the molecules are linked through different-type weak interactions. In structure II, chlorobenzene molecules occupy cavities that are formed in stacks in the vicinity of the tetrathiafulvalene molecules due to the larger difference in size of the donor and acceptor molecules in complex II as compared to that in complex I. The chlorobenzene molecules provide a close packing. These molecules are involved in the system of weak interactions to form the Cl?N and C-H?N secondary bonds with the CN groups of the acceptor molecules in the sheets.     

Relationship between the structure and luminescent properties for two crystal modifications of N-butyl-2-cyano-3-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-2-propenamide

Two crystal modifications (1o and 1y) of N-butyl-2-cyano-3-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-2-propenamide, which differ in the color of crystals and the color of luminescence, have been studied by X-ray diffraction and spectral-luminescence methods. The corresponding bond lengths and bond angles in the molecules of two crystal modifications are virtually identical. In both crystal structures, there are two systems of weak intermolecular interactions: π-stacking interactions and -CN…H-N hydrogen bonds involving nitrile and NH groups. In the crystal structures, two hydrogen bonds connect pairs of molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The N…H distances are 2.21 and 2.41 Å in 1o and 1y, respectively. The interplanar distances in the π-stacked systems of 1o and 1y are 3.33 and 3.41 Å, respectively. Both types of weak interactions are stronger in 1o than in 1y, which accounts for a larger shift of absorption and luminescence bands for the former compound.
