Polysulfonylamines. CLVIII. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl)amides. 9. Enhancing Crystal Symmetry by Co‐crystallization: Monoclinic Na[(CH₃SO₂)₂N]·H₂O and Tetragonal NaK[(CH₃SO₂)₂N]₂·2H₂O The three‐dimensional coordination polymers NaA·H₂O ( 1 ) and NaKA₂·2H₂O ( 2 ), derived from the strong NH acid (MeSO₂)₂NH = HA, have been characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction at —95 °C ( 1 : monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z′ = 2; 2 : tetragonal, P4₃2₁2, Z′ = 1). The results suggest that structures with Z′ > 1 are good candidates for co‐crystallization experiments. Both packings display layer substructures built up from the multidentately coordinating anions, the aquo ligands and two kinds of chemically and/or crystallographically distinct cations, whereas cations of a third type are intercalated between the layers. All anions have the extended standard conformation of this species; 1 contains two pseudo‐C₂ symmetric A^—, 2 one pseudo‐C₂ and two crystallographically C₂ symmetric A^—. Details for structure 1 : a) The layer‐forming Na(1) and Na(3) cations are distributed over three distinctly separated planes, Na(1) occupies general positions and has a non‐octahedral O₅N environment, Na(3) resides on inversion centres that generate an octahedral O₆ coordination; b) one independent A^— is oriented vertically, the other parallel to the layer plane; c) the intercalated Na(2) ions occupy twofold rotation axes within a single plane and possess a non‐octahedral O₆ environment. Details for structure 2 : a) The layer‐forming K(1) and K(2) cations occupy twofold rotation axes within a unique plane and have chemically identically O₆N₂ coordination polyhedra approximating to hexagonal bipyramids; b) all A^— are oriented vertically to the layer plane; c) the intercalated sodium ions reside on pseudo‐inversion centres, have an octahedral O₆ environment and are distributed over two closely adjacent planes. Owing to the enhanced packing efficiency of the bimetal complex, the vertical layer repeat‐distance is reduced from 1140 pm for 1 to 720 pm for 2 . Each structure exhibits an infinite cation‐water chain that propagates in the direction of the layer stacking and contains the three independent cations.

Polysulfonylamines. CLX. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl)amides. 10. The Three‐Dimensional Coordination Polymers M[(CH₃SO₂)₂N], where M is Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium (Isotypic Structures for M = K, Rb) Low‐temperature X‐ray crystal structures are reported for KA (monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, Z′ = 1), RbA (isotypic and isostructural with KA), and CsA (monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z′ = 1), where A^— denotes the anion obtained by deprotonation of the strong nitrogen acid (MeSO₂)₂NH. In KA and RbA, the anion is distorted into a rare C₁ conformation, whereas the standard C₂ conformation is retained in the cesium complex. The structures consist of three‐dimensional coordination networks, in which each cation adopts an irregular (O₆N)‐heptacoordination by forming close contacts to one (O, N)‐chelating, one (O, O)‐chelating and three κ¹O‐bonding ligands; however, the coordination number for Cs⁺ is effectively increased to 8 by a very short Cs···Cs contact distance of 422.5 pm. The crystal packings of the isotypic compounds KA and RbA display lamellar layer substructures that involve six independent ligand‐metal bonds and comprise an internal cation lamella and peripheral regions built up from anion monolayers; the 3D framework is completed by one independent M—O bond cross‐linking the layer substructures. In contrast, CsA features anion monolayers that intercalate planar zigzag chains of cations (Cs···Cs alternatingly 422.5 and 487.5 pm, Cs···Cs···Cs 135.7°), whereby each chain is surrounded and coordinated by four anion stacks and each anion stack connects two cation chains. All structures exhibit close C—H···A interanion contacts consistent with weak hydrogen bonding.

The Orthorhombic Double Salt Na₂Cs₂[(CH₃SO₂)₂N]₄·3H₂O: A Three‐Dimensional Coordination Polymer Built up from Cesium‐Anion‐Water Layers and Intercalated Sodium Ions The packing arrangement of the three‐dimensional coordination polymer Na₂Cs₂[(MeSO₂)₂N]₄·3H₂O (orthorhombic, space group Pna2₁, Z′ = 1) is in some respects similar to that of the previously reported sodium‐potassium double salt Na₂K₂[(MeSO₂)₂N]₄·4H₂O (tetragonal, P4₃2₁2, Z′ = 1/2). In the present structure, four multidentately coordinating independent anions, three independent aquo ligands and two types of cesium cation form monolayer substructures that are associated in pairs to form double layers via a Cs(1)—H₂O—Cs(2) motif, thus conferring upon each Cs⁺ an irregular O₈N₂ environment drawn from two N, O‐chelating anions, two O, O‐chelating anions and two water molecules. Half of the sodium ions occupy pseudo‐inversion centres situated between the double layers and have an octahedral O₆ coordination built up from four anions and two water molecules, whereas the remaining Na⁺ are intercalated within the double layers in a square‐pyramidal and pseudo‐C₂ symmetric O₅ environment provided by four anions and the water molecule of the Cs—H₂O—Cs motif. The net effect is that each of the four independent anions forms bonds to two Cs⁺ and two Na⁺, two independent water molecules are involved in Cs—H₂O—Na motifs, and the third water molecule acts as a μ₃‐bridging ligand for two Cs⁺ and one Na⁺. The crystal cohesion is reinforced by a three‐dimensional network of conventional O—H···O=S and weak C—H···O=S/N hydrogen bonds.

Polysulfonylamines. CLII. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl) amides. 6. Three Layer Structures: The Isotypic Binary Compounds M[(MeSO₂)₂N]₂ (M = Sr, Pb) and the Ethanol Solvate Pb[(MeSO₂)₂N]₂ · EtOH Low‐temperature X‐ray crystal structures are reported for the layer compounds SrA₂ (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z′ = 1), PbA₂ (isotypic and isostructural with SrA₂), and PbA₂·EtOH (triclinic, P1¯, Z′ = 1), where A^— denotes the anion obtained by deprotonation of the strong NH acid (MeSO₂)₂NH. The ternary compound appears to be the first crystallographically established ethanol solvate of a lead(II) complex. In the two‐dimensional coordination networks, the cations adopt either a distorted cubic or, in the solvate, an irregular (O₆N₂)‐octacoordination, the metal centres of the isotypic structures forming close contacts to two (O, N)‐chelating and four κ¹O‐bonding anions, whereas in the solvate one of the latter ligands is displaced by an EtOH molecule. In the isotypic structures, the Pb—O distances are systematically longer than the Sr—O distances and the Pb—N bonds shorter than the Sr—N bonds, which correlates with the softer character of Pb²⁺ as compared to Sr²⁺. The 6s lone pair on Pb²⁺ is stereochemically inactive in both lead compounds. Analogies and discrepancies between the layer architectures are discussed in detail, including an evaluation of short C—H···O contacts in terms of weak hydrogen bonding. Two complexes of composition PbA₂·2 L, where L is pyridine or 1, 10‐phenanthroline, have been synthesized and characterized by analytical methods.

Polysulfonylamines. CLIV. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl)amides. 7. A Three‐Dimensional Coordination Polymer Built up from Layers and Pillars: Crystal Structure of Ba[(CH₃SO₂)₂N]₂·2H₂O The barium compound BaA₂·2H₂O, derived from HA = di(methanesulfonyl)amine, has been characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction at —95 °C (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z = 4). Despite numerous metal‐ligand bonds, the independent anions A^— and A′^— retain the pseudo‐C₂ symmetric conformation that commonly occurs in organic onium salts BH⁺A^—. The large cation attains ninefold coordination via interactions with one (O, N)‐chelating A^—, three κ¹O‐bonding A^—, two κ¹O‐bonding A′^— and two monodentate water molecules; if a distinctly longer barium‐water distance is included, the coordination number may alternatively be viewed as 9 + 1 and one water molecule regarded as an asymmetrically μ₂‐bridging ligand. In contrast to the previously reported layer structures of SrA₂ and PbA₂, the present crystal displays a three‐dimensional coordination assembly consisting of layers formed by the cations, the water molecules and the pentadentate A^— ligands, and of interlayer pillars provided by the bidentate A′^— ligands; however, the Ba²⁺/A^— substructure turns out to be topologically and crystallographically congruent with the corresponding M²⁺/A^— substructures in SrA₂ and PbA₂. The crystal cohesion of the barium complex is reinforced by four O(W)—H···O=S hydrogen bonds and several non‐classical C—H···O=S hydrogen bonds.     

Exploring the structural landscape of 2‐(thiophen‐2‐yl)‐1,3‐benzothiazole: high‐Z′ packing polymorphism and cocrystallization with calix[4]tube

We report here for the first time a cocrystal of the so‐called neutral calix[4]tube, which is two tail‐to‐tail‐arranged and partially deprotonated tetrakis(carboxymethoxy)calix[4]arenes, including three sodium ions, with 2‐(thiophen‐2‐yl)‐1,3‐benzothiazole, namely trisodium bis(carboxymethoxy)bis(carboxylatomethoxy)calix[4]arene tris(carboxymethoxy)(carboxylatomethoxy)calix[4]arene–2‐(thiophen‐2‐yl)‐1,3‐benzothiazole–dimethyl sulfoxide–water (1/1/2/2), 3Na⁺·C₃₆H₃₀O₁₂^2?·C₃₆H₃₁O₁₂^?·C₁₁H₇NS₂·2C₂H₆OS·2H₂O, which provides a new approach into the host–guest chemistry of inclusion complexes. Three packing polymorphs of the same benzothiazole with high Z′ (one with Z′ = 8 and two with Z′ = 4) were also discovered in the course of our desired cocrystallization. The inspection of these polymorphs and a previously known polymorph with Z′ = 2 revealed that Z′ increases as the strength of intermolecular contacts decreases. Also, these results expand the frontier of invoking calixarenes as a host for nonsolvent small molecules, besides providing knowledge on the rare formation of high‐Z′ packing polymorphs of simple molecules, such as the target benzothiazole.

Metal Salts of Benzene‐1, 2‐di(sulfonyl)amine. 9. The Barium Complex [[Ba{C₆H₄(SO₂)₂N}₂(H₂O)2₂]: A Columnar Coordination Polymer with Lamellar Crystal Packing The title complex, obtained by treating ortho‐benzenedi‐sulfonimide with Ba(OH)₂ in aqueous solution, has been characterized by low‐temperature X‐ray diffraction (monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, Ba²⁺ on a crystallographic twofold axis). The cation attains a tenfold coordination by accepting bonds from two water molecules, four κ¹O‐bonding anions and two (O, N)‐chelating anions. The cation‐anion interactions create columnar strands parallel to the z axis, from which protrude twin stacks of benzo rings in the directions ±x, and water molecules and non‐coordinating sulfonyl oxygen atoms in the directions ±y. Adjacent strands related by translation parallel to y are associated via O(W)—H···O=S hydrogen bonds to form lamellar sandwich layers. The contiguous benzo rings of adjacent layers are markedly interlocked.     

A structural hierarchy in the hydrogen‐bonded adduct N,N′‐di­methyl­piperazine–tartaric acid–water (1/2/2): an N‐component N‐dimensional structure (N = 3) with substructures having N = 1 and 2

In the hydrated adduct N,N′‐di­methyl­piperazine‐1,4‐diium bis(3‐carboxy‐2,3‐di­hydroxy­propanoate) dihydrate, [MeNH(CH₂CH₂)₂NHMe]²⁺·2(C₄H₅O₆)^?·2H₂O or C₆H₁₆N₂²⁺·2C₄H₅O₆^?·2H₂O, formed between racemic tartaric acid and N,N′‐di­methyl­piperazine (triclinic P, Z′ = 0.5), the cations lie across centres of inversion. The anions alone form chains, and anions and water mol­ecules together form sheets; the sheets are linked by the cations to form a pillared‐layer framework. The supramolecular architecture thus takes the form of a family of N‐dimensional N‐component structures having N = 1, 2 or 3.     

Synthesis,Structure and Magnetic Properties of Two Cobalt(II) Dicyanamide (dca) Complexes with Heterocyclic Nitrogen Donors Tetra(2‐pyridyl)pyrazine (tppz) and 2,4,6‐Tri(2‐pyridyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine (tptz): [Co2(tppz)(dca)4]·CH3CN and [Co(tptz)(dca)(H2O)](dca)

Two new transition metal dicyanamide complexes [Co₂(tppz)(dca)₄]·CH₃CN ( 1 ) [tppz=tetra(2‐pyridyl)pyrazine, dca=dicyanamide] and [Co(tptz)(dca)(H₂O)](dca) ( 2 ) [tptz=2,4,6‐tri(2‐pyridyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine] were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. In 1 each cobalt(II) atom is coordinated to three dca anions and one tppz molecule to form a distorted octahedral geometry, the neigbour two cobalt(II) atoms are bridged by one tppz ligand to form a dimer, then the cobalt(II) atoms in each dimer are joined together to form a ladder chain structure. In 2 the coordination geometry around the central metal is also distorted octahedral, each cobalt(II) atom is coordinated by two dca anions, one tptz molecule and one water ligand to form a cationic part, and the cationic part is linked with the free dca anions via the electrostatic attraction to give an infinite chain structure. Magnetic susceptibility measurement in the range of 2–300 K indicates that there are antiferromagnetic couplings between adjacent metal ions in 1 (T>29 K, (=?9.78 K, C=4.92 cm³·K·mol^?1) and ferromagnetic couplings in 2 (T>150 K, (=7.97 K, C=2.59 cm³·K·mol^?1) respectively.     

Two polymorphs of tetraethylammonium [hydrogen tris(3,5‐dimethylpyrazolyl)borato]di‐μ2‐sulfido‐disulfido(η2‐tetrasulfido)ditungsten(V) with Z′ = 1 and 2

Two polymorphs of the title compound, (C₈H₂₀N)[W₂S₄(S₄)(C₁₅H₂₂BN₆)], have been obtained unexpectedly by attempted recrystallization of a mixed‐metal–sulfur cluster complex from different solvents. The dinuclear complex anion contains W^V in two different coordination environments, one of them distorted octahedral with a tris(pyrazolyl)borate anion, a terminal sulfide and two bridging sulfide ligands, the other distorted square‐pyramidal with a terminal sulfide, two bridging sulfide and a chelating tetrasulfide ligand. The three independent anions in the two polymorphs have essentially the same geometry. The central W₂S₂ ring is a slightly folded rhombus with acute angles at the S atoms, and the WS₄ chelate ring is an envelope with one noncoordinating S atom as the flap. The second polymorph, with Z′ = 2 and pseudo‐inversion symmetry relating the anions of the asymmetric unit, also displays pseudo‐translation features in its layer structure, and all examined crystals were found to be twinned, possibly as a consequence of this structural feature.

Cs₃Ag[(MeSO₂)₂N]₄ and CsAg[(MeSO₂)₂N]₂: A Three‐Dimensional and a Layered Coordination Polymer Containing Bis(dimesylamido‐N)argentate Building Blocks Serendipitous formation pathways and low‐temperature X‐ray structures are reported for the coordination compounds Cs₃A₂[AgA₂] ( 1 ) and Cs[AgA₂] ( 2 ), where A^— represents the pentadentate dimesylamide ligand (MeSO₂)₂N^—. Both phases (monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z′ = 1/2) contain inversion‐symmetric bis(dimesylamido‐N)argentate units displaying exactly linear N—Ag—N cores and short, predominantly covalent Ag—N bonds [ 1 : 213.5(2), 2 : 213.35(12) pm]; in each case, the coordination number of the silver ion is extended to 2 + 6 by four internal and two external Ag···O secondary interactions. The three‐dimensional coordination polymer 1 is built up from alternating layer substructures [{Cs(1)}{A}_4/2]^— with Cs(1) lying on twofold rotation axes and [{Cs(2)}₂{AgA₂}_4/4]⁺ with Cs(2) occupying general positions. Within the substructural layers, both types of cesium cation have approximately planar O₄ environments, whereas the final coordination spheres including interlayer bonds are extended to O₆ for Cs(1) and to O₈N for Cs(2). Compound 2 , in contrast, forms a genuine layer structure. The layers are constructed from Cs⁺ chains located on twofold rotation axes, alternating with [AgA₂]^— stacks reinforced by Ag···O secondary interactions and weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds; Cs⁺ is embedded in an O₈ environment. Both structures are pervaded by a three‐dimensional C—H···O network.     

[Cu(phen)2(μ‐IDA)Cu(phen)](ClO4)2·CH3OH: tridentate and monodentate binding to two copper(II) species by a bridging ligand

The stoichiometric reaction of 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen), imino­di­acetic acid (IDA‐H₂) and Cu(ClO₄)₂ in a H₂O–CH₃OH (2:1) solution yields μ‐imino­diacetato‐2:1κ⁴O,N,O′:O′′‐tris(1,10‐phenanthroline)‐1κ⁴N,N′;2κ²N,N′‐dicopper(II) diperchlorate methanol solvate, [Cu₂(C₄H₅NO₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₃](ClO₄)₂·CH₃OH. The IDA ligand bridges the two Cu^II ions via a carboxyl­ate group and uses one further N and an O atom of the second carboxylate group to complete a fac‐tridentate coordination at one Cu centre. A phen ligand completes a distorted square‐pyramidal coordination at this metal atom, although there is weak coordination by a perchlorate O atom at a sixth position. The second Cu centre has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination to two phen moieties and a carboxyl­ate O atom.     

Two cobalt(III) mono‐dimethylglyoximates isolated from one reaction

The reaction of cobalt(II) nitrate hexahydrate with dimethylglyoxime (DMGH₂) and 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) in a 1:1:2 molar ratio results in two Co^III mono‐dimethylglyoximates having two chelating phen ligands in cis positions and the Co^III atom coordinated by six N atoms in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The isolated products differ in the deprotonation state of the DMGH₂ ligand. In [μ‐hydrogen bis(N,N′‐dioxidobutane‐2,3‐diimine)]tetrakis(1,10‐phenanthroline)cobalt(III) trinitrate ethanol disolvate 1.87‐hydrate, [Co₂(C₄H₆N₂O₂)(C₄H₇N₂O₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₄](NO₃)₃·2C₂H₆O·1.87H₂O, (I), the C₂‐symmetric cation is formed with the coordination [Co(DMG)(phen)₂]⁺ cations aggregating via a very strong O⁻...H⁺...O⁻ hydrogen bond with an O...O distance of 2.409 (4) Å. Crystals of (I) exhibit extensive disorder of the solvent molecules, the nitrate anions and one of the phen ligands. Compound (I) is a kinetic product, not isolated previously from similar systems, that transforms slowly into (N‐hydroxy‐N′‐oxidobutane‐2,3‐diimine)bis(1,10‐phenanthroline)cobalt(III) dinitrate ethanol monosolvate 0.4‐hydrate, [Co(C₄H₇N₂O₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂](NO₃)₂·C₂H₆O·0.40H₂O, (II), with the DMGH⁻ ligand hydrogen bonded to one of the nitrate anions. In (II), the solvent molecules and one of the nitrate anions are disordered.     

catena‐Poly[potassium [copper(II)‐μ‐isothiocyanato‐μ‐N‐salicylidene‐β‐alaninato(2–)]]

The title polymeric compound, catena‐poly­[dipotassium [bis­[μ‐N‐salicyl­idene‐β‐alaninato(2−)]‐κ⁴O,N,O′:O′′;κ⁴O′′:O,N,O′‐dicopper(II)]‐di‐μ‐iso­thio­cyanato‐κ²N:S;κ²S:N], {K[Cu(NCS)(C₁₀H₉NO₃)]}_n, consists of [iso­thio­cyanato(N‐salicyl­idene‐β‐alaninato)copper(II)]⁻ anions connected through the two three‐atom thio­cyanate (μ‐NCS) and the two anti,anti‐μ‐­carboxyl­ate bridges into infinite one‐dimensional polymeric anions, with coulombically interacting K⁺ counter‐ions with coordination number 7 constrained between the chains. The Cu^II atoms adopt a distorted tetragonal–bipyramidal coordination, with three donor atoms of the tridentate Schiff base and one N atom of the bridging μ‐NCS ligand in the basal plane. The first axial position is occupied by a thio­cyanate S atom of a symmetry‐related μ‐NCS ligand at an apical distance of 2.9770 (8) Å, and the second position is occupied by an O atom of a bridging carboxyl­ate group from an adjacent coordination unit at a distance of 2.639 (2) Å.     

Bis{1‐[N‐(2‐methoxy­phenyl)imino­methyl]naphthalen‐2(1H)‐onato‐κ3O,N,O′}zinc(II) ethanol solvate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₁₈H₁₄NO₂)₂]·C₂H₆O, the Zn atom displays a highly distorted octa­hedral coordination involving the O and N atoms of two mol­ecules of the Schiff base 1‐[N‐(2‐methoxy­phenyl)imino­methyl]naphthalen‐2(1H)‐one, which acts as an O,N,O′‐tridentate ligand. The ethanol mol­ecule is bound to the methoxy group of one ligand mol­ecule via a hydrogen bond.     

Two Heteroleptic Zinc(II) Complexes: [Zn(phen)(C9H15O6)2] and [Zn2(phen)2(H2O)2(C10H16O4)2] · 3H2O

Reactions of a freshly prepared Zn(OH)_2‐2x(CO₃)x · yH₂O precipitate, phenanthroline with azelaic and sebacic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O afforded [Zn(phen)(C₉H₁₅O₄)₂] ( 1 ) and [Zn₂(phen)₂(H₂O)₂(C₁₀H₁₆O₄)₂] · 3H₂O ( 2 ), respectively. They were structurally characterized by X‐ray diffraction methods. Compound 1 consists of complex molecules [Zn(phen)(C₉H₁₅O₄)₂] in which the Zn atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and two O atoms of different monodentate hydrogen azelaato groups. Intermolecular C(alkyl)‐H···π interactions and the intermolecular C(aryl)‐H···O and O‐H···O hydrogen bonds are responsible for the supramolecular assembly of the [Zn(phen)(C₉H₁₅O₄)₂] complexes. Compound 2 is built up from crystal H₂O molecules and the centrosymmetric binuclear [Zn₂(phen)₂(H₂O)₂(C₁₀H₁₆O₄)₂] complex, in which two [Zn(phen)(H₂O)]²⁺ moieties are bridged by two sebacato ligands. Through the intermolecular C(alkyl)‐H···O hydrogen bonds and π‐π stacking interactions, the binuclear complex molecules are assembled into layers, between which the lattice H₂O molecules are sandwiched. Crystal data: ( 1 ) C2/c (no. 15), a = 13.887(2), b = 9.790(2), c = 22.887(3)Å, β = 107.05(1)°, U = 2974.8(8)ų, Z = 4; ( 2 ) P1¯ (no. 2), a = 8.414(1), b = 10.679(1), c = 14.076(2)Å, α = 106.52(1)°, β = 91.56(1)°, γ = 99.09(1)°, U = 1193.9(2)ų, Z = 1.     

(±)‐(2,3,4,4a,5,6,7,8‐Octa­hydro‐2‐oxo­naphthalen‐1‐yl)acetic acid: hydrogen‐bonding pattern of the mono­hydrate of an unsaturated bicyclic γ‐keto acid

In the title compound, C₁₂H₁₆O₃·H₂O, the water of hydration accepts a hydrogen bond from the carboxyl group and donates hydrogen bonds to the carboxyl carbonyl and the ketone groups of two different neighbors, yielding a complex three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonding array. There are two independent hydrated mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit (Z′ = 2) related by a pseudo‐translation.     

The first square‐planar copper(II) 1:2 complex with differently coordinated 2‐hydroxybenzaldehyde 4‐allylthiosemicarbazone ligands

The title compound, [(Z)‐4‐allyl‐2‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)thiosemicarbazide‐κS][(E)‐4‐allyl‐1‐(2‐oxidobenzylidene)thiosemicarbazidato‐κ³O,N¹,S]copper(II) monohydrate, [Cu(C₁₁H₁₁N₃OS)(C₁₁H₁₃N₃OS)]·H₂O, crystallized as a rotational twin in the monoclinic crystal system (space group Cc) with two formula unit (Z′ = 2) in the asymmetric unit, one of which contains an allyl substituent disordered over two positions. The Cu^II atom exhibits a distorted square‐planar geometry involving two differently coordinated thiosemicarbazone ligands. One ligand is bonded to the Cu^II atom in a tridentate manner via the phenolate O, azomethine N and thioamide S atoms, while the other coordinates in a monodentate manner via the S atom only. The complex is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond, which creates a six‐membered pseudo‐chelate metalla‐ring. The structure analysis indicates the presence of the E isomer for the tridentate ligand and the Z isomer for the monodentate ligand. The crystal structure contains a three‐dimensional network built from intermolecular O—H...O, N—H...O, O—H...N and N—H...S hydrogen bonds.     

A square‐planar NiII complex with an asymmetric coordination of a novel polynucleative 2,6‐diacetylpyridine bis{[2‐(hydroxyimino)propanoyl]hydrazone} ligand

The title compound, (2,6‐diacetylpyridine bis{[2‐(hydroxyimino)propanoyl]hydrazone}(2−))nickel(II) dimethyl sulfoxide solvate monohydrate, [Ni(C₁₅H₁₇N₇O₄)]·C₂H₆OS·H₂O, represents the first example of square‐planar N₄ coordination via N atoms with four different functions, namely amide, azomethine, hydroxyimino and pyridine. The coordination polyhedron of the central Ni atom has a slightly distorted square‐planar geometry. The 2,6‐diacetylpyridine bis{[2‐(hydroxyimino)propanoyl]hydrazone} ligand forms one six‐ and two five‐membered chelate rings, and a pseudo‐chelate ring through an intramolecular hydrogen bond with an amide group as donor and a deprotonated hydroxyimino group as acceptor, resulting in a pseudomacrocyclic arrangement.     

A One‐dimensional Lead(II) Coordination Polymer with Bridging Saccharinate and 2‐Aminomethylpyridine Ligands: Synthesis,IR Spectra,and Crystal Structure of [Pb(ampy)(μ‐sac)2]n

A complex with eight‐coordinate lead(II ) atom and saccharinate (sac) and 2‐aminomethylpyridine ligands was characterized by IR, elemental analysis and X‐ray crystallography. The lead(II ) complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P2₁/c. The single crystal X‐ray analysis shows that the complex is a coordination polymer, [Pb(ampy)(μ‐sac)₂]_n, in which the lead(II ) ions have a highly distorted bicapped trigonal antiprism coordination. Lead(II ) ions are bridged by carboxyl groups of sac forming one‐dimensional linear chains, running parallel to the a axis. The intrachain Pb···Pb distances are 4.4490(3) and 4.4679(3)Å. The individual chains are connected by N—H···O_sulfonyl and C_ampy—H···O_sulfonyl type hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three‐dimensional network. The sac ligand acts as bidentate and bridging ligand, while ampy behaves as an N, N′ donor. The IR spectra of the lead(II ) complex are discussed in detail.
