Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two CuII Coordination Isomers [Cu(pmt)2] · 4H2O (1) and {[Cu(pmt)2] · 2H2O} n (2)

Abstract  A pair of Cu^II coordination isomers [Cu(pmt)₂] · 4H₂O (1) and {[Cu(pmt)₂] · 2H₂O} _n (2) [Hpmt = 2-(2-pyridylmethylamino) ethanesulfonic acid] have been prepared by reaction of the same proportion CuCl₂ · 2H₂O and Hpmt but with different experimental methods in water–methanol mixed solution, and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectrum. X-ray analysis indicates that complex (1) is a mononuclear complex in which two deprotonated pmt ligands coordinate in a facial tridentate arrangement about the Cu^II atom. While complex (2) is a coordination polymer, in which four N atoms of pmt ligands coordinate to one Cu^II atom but its sulfonate O atoms bond to adjacent Cu^II atom. Thus 12-membered rings (–Cu–N–C–C–S–O–)₂ are obtained between two neighbouring Cu^II atoms and they connect one another to form this new polymer.

Abstract  

The crystal structures of zolmitriptan with pyridine (I) and propiophenone (II) solvates have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Compound (I) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ with a = 8.5610(5) ?, b = 12.2709(7) ?, c = 19.6201(12) ?, V = 2061.1(2) ?³, and Z = 4, while compound (II) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with a = 15.085(1) ?, b = 19.656(12) ?, c = 21.0860(13) ?, β = 92.068(1)°, V = 6248(4) ?³ and Z = 4. The asymmetric unit of (I), C₁₆H₂₁N₃O₂·C₅H₅N, contains one zolmitriptan molecule and one pyridine solvate, while the asymmetric unit of (II), 3(C₁₆H₂₁N₃O₂)·2(C₉H₁₀O) comprises six zolmitriptan molecules and four propiophenone solvates. In both structures, the N–H···N hydrogen bonds, form an infinite helical chain and generate a C(11)-type motif in (I) and a D₂²(13)-type motif in (II). Both the complexes have layer structures, the layers being constructed from rings (cavity) of four zolmitriptan molecules, hydrogen bonded through N–H···N and N–H···O bonds, where the pyridine (I) and propiophenone (II) solvates are included in an R₄⁴(33) ring.

Preparation, Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Properties of Dimeric [Zn(2-bromobenzoato)2(phenazone)]2 and Monomeric [Zn(2-bromobenzoato)2(thiourea)2]·2H2O

Abstract  

The binuclear zinc complex bis(2-bromobenzoato-O)-bis(μ ₂ -2-bromobenzoato-O,O′)-bis(phenazone-O)-dizinc(II) (I) and the mononuclear dihydrate bis(2-bromobenzoato-O)-bis(thiourea-S)-zinc(II) (II) have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods (IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, EDS). The solid state structures of both compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Compound [Zn(2-BrC₆H₄COO)₂(phen)]₂ (phen—phenazone) (I) crystallized as a dimeric compound with a triclinic lattice (space group P − 1), where both zinc atoms, interconnected by two carboxylate groups, possess a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment. The crystallographic data of complex I: a = 9.9410(3) ?, b = 10.7309(3) ?, c = 12.9237(4) ?, α = 93.6004(17)°, β = 92.5898(11)°, γ = 116.2192(16)°, V = 1230.26(6) ?³, Z = 1. Complex [Zn(2-BrC₆H₄COO)₂(tu)₂]·2H₂O (tu—thiourea) (II) crystallized with an orthorhombic lattice (space group Aba2) as a monomeric compound, where the coordination environment of the central zinc atom is a distorted tetrahedron. The crystallographic data of complex II are: a = 9.8595(3) ?, b = 19.7052(5) ?, c = 12.5908(3) ?, V = 2446.18(11) ?³, Z = 4. The modes of the carboxylate binding were assigned from the IR spectra using the magnitude of the separation between the carboxylate stretches (Δ), which correlated well with the crystal structures. The computed theoretical IR spectrum agreed well with the experimental data.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Two Binuclear Lanthanide [Ln = Pr,Dy] Complexes with 4-Quinolineacarboxylate

Abstract  

The reaction of the organic ligand, 4-quinolineacarboxylate (L) with Pr(ClO₄)₃·6H₂O and Dy(ClO₄)₃·6H₂O, leads to the formation of two novel complexes [Pr₂(L)₆(H₂O)₄]2H₂O 1 and [Dy₂(L)₆(H₂O)₄]2H₂O 2, which have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, with a = 11.805(2), b = 16.645(3), c = 15.367(3) ?, β = 106.78(3)°, V = 2891.1(10) ?³, Z = 4 for 1, monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, with a = 11.629(2), b = 16.478(3), c = 5.336(3) ?, β = 105.83°, V = 2827.4(10) ?³, Z = 4). The two isostructure complexes are binuclear and possess an inversion center which is at the midpoint of the linkage of two symmetrical La(III) centers. In two complexes, each metal center adopts nine-coordinated mode coordinated by nine O atoms from two H₂O molecules and three carboxyls of three ligands, and L displays three different coordination modes. Hydrogen bonds join the binuclear complexes into 3D networks.     

Dihydrogen Phosphate and Hydrogen Sulphate of 1,4-Dimethyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium: Crystal Structures, Hydrogen Bonding and Infrared Spectra

Abstract  

The crystal structures of the title compounds consist of 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium cation [C₈H₁₈N₂]²⁺ and [H₂PO₄]⁻ or [HSO₄]⁻ anions. Both crystal structures are monoclinic, the structure of the dihydrogen phosphate (I) is non-centrosymmetric (P2₁) with a = 6.4090(2) ?, b = 13.6920(5) ?, c = 7.6140(3) ?, β = 94.620(2)°, V = 665.97(4) ?³, Z = 2; whereas the unit cell of the hydrogen sulphate (II) is centrosymmetric (P2₁/c) with a = 13.8460(2) ?, b = 12.6610(2) ?, c = 8.0360(2) ?, β = 99.5800(12)°, V = 1389.10(5) ?³, Z = 4. Both the structures are formed by the different bonding patterns of the anions interlinked by strong and moderate O–H···O hydrogen bonds. While the structure of (I) consists of a two-dimensional network of the hydrogen bonded dihydrogen phosphates, the infinite chains of the hydrogen bonded hydrogen sulphates are the basic building unit of the structure (II). In addition to the dominant electrostatic interaction the divalent cations stabilize themselves in the structures by forming several C–H···O hydrogen bonds to the oxygen atoms of the anions. The IR spectra of both the compounds are strongly affected by the hydrogen bonds whose influence on OH stretching vibrations is analysed by means of the DFT calculations in the solid state.     

Structural Modulation in Lanthanide Tetracyanoplatinates Incorporating Terpyridine: Synthesis and Structures of Four Distinct One-Dimensional Variants

Abstract  

The synthesis of four different lanthanide tetracyanoplatinates all incorporating 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine have been carried out in acetonitrile/water mixtures by reaction of an appropriate Ln³⁺ salt with 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine and potassium tetracyanoplatinate. The use of different Ln³⁺ salts as reactants results in the isolation of {La(tpy)(H₂O)₃}₂[Pt(CN)₄]₃·2CH₃CN·2H₂O (La-1) space group P[`1] P\bar{1} , a = 9.3862(15) ?, b = 12.186(1) ?, c = 13.493(1) ?, α = 88.082(7)°, β = 80.22(1)°, γ = 74.88(1)°, {Pr(tpy)(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>3</sub>}<sub>2</sub>[Pt(CN)<sub>4</sub>]<sub>3</sub>·2H<sub>2</sub>O (Pr-2) space group P[`1] P\bar{1} , a = 9.2458(15) ?, b = 10.8068(9) ?, c = 13.6178(14) ?, α = 84.554(8)°, β = 74.905(10)°, γ = 79.490(9)°, Ho(tpy)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)[Pt(CN)₄] · CH₃CN (Ho-3) space group P2₁/c, a = 12.867(1) ?, b = 15.1046(15) ?, c = 13.651(4) ?, β = 105.39(1)°, or Yb(tpy)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)[Pt(CN)₄]·0.5CH₃CN·1.5H₂O (Yb-4) space group Pbcn, a = 13.226(7) ?, b = 15.870(2) ?, c = 24.276(3) ? under quite similar reaction conditions. All four of these compounds have been isolated as single crystals and X-ray diffraction has been used to investigate their structural features. None of these compounds are isostructural with one another, but all contain one-dimensional, polymeric structures that contain tris chelation of the Ln³⁺ cations by terpyridine and bridging of the Ln³⁺ ions by tetracyanoplatinate. La-1 and Pr-2 contain both cis- and trans-bridging of Ln³⁺ cations by tetracyanoplatinate resulting in double chains with a ladder-type structure. Ho-3 and Yb-4 are similar in that they contain chelation of Ln³⁺ by both terpyridine and a nitrate anion and both structure types only contain cis-bridging by tetracyanoplatinate. All four structures contain Pt–Pt interactions in the form of dimeric units.

Abstract  

Two ternary complexes of manganese(II) indole-2-carboxylate (2-IC⁻) or isoquinolinecarboxylate (IQC⁻) with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in methanol or in dimethylacetamide (DMA) were synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction and IR spectra. [Mn(C₉H₆NO₂)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·CH₄O (1) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with cell parameters of a = 10.548(2) ?, b = 14.168(3) ?, c = 14.580(3) ?, α = 62.35(2)°, β = 69.16(2)°, γ = 78.61(2)°, V = 1802.4(6) ?³ and Z = 2; [Mn(C₁₀H₆NO₂)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)].C₄H₉NO (2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/a with cell parameters of a = 15.304(5) ?, b = 12.871(5) ?, c = 17.421(5) ?, β = 114.39(1), V = 3125(2) ?³ and Z = 4. In 1, Mn is six-coordinate by two bidentate phen ligands and two 2-IC⁻ ligands and exhibits a very distorted octahedral geometry. This complex is solvated by methanol involved in hydrogen bonding. In 2, Mn atom is surrounded by one bidentate phen ligand and two bidentate IQC⁻ ligands. The complex exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry around the Mn^II atom. The crystal structure is completed by a disordered DMA solvate molecule. The IR spectra of both compounds are slightly different in the range 4000–2400 cm⁻¹ which may be attributed to hydrogen bond lack in 2.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure Determination of Methyl 2-acetyl-5′-phenyl-2H-spiro[benzo[d]isothiazole-3,3′-pyrazole]-1,1-dioxide-2′(4′H)-carboxylate and Methyl 2-acetyl-5′-(2-thienyl)-2H-spiro[benzo[d]isothiazole-3,3′-pyrazole]-1,1-dioxide-2′(4′H)-carboxylate

Abstract  

Dilithiated C(α), N-carbomethoxyhydrazones were condensed with lithiated methyl 2-(aminosulfonyl)benzoate to afford intermediates that were isolated and not characterized but cyclized with acetic anhydride, which also resulted in N-acetylation. The X-ray crystal structure determinations of methyl 2-acetyl-5′-phenyl-2H-spiro[benzo[d]isothiazole-3,3′-pyrazole]-1,1-dioxide-2′(4′H)-carboxylate and methyl 2-acetyl-5′-(2-thienyl)-2H-spiro[benzo[d]isothiazole-3,3′-pyrazole]-1,1-dioxide-2′(4′H)-carboxylate products were a follow up for absorption spectra, and they confirmed their structures. Mechanistic intermediates to describe the reaction may include C-acylated intermediates that cyclize to spiro(N-benzoisothiazole dioxide-pyrazole) instead of N-carbomethoxypyrazole-ortho-benzenesulfonamides.

The complex 2 assumes a binuclear structure in which the nickel(II) ion is in a square planar environment and the copper(II) is in a square-prism geometry environment.     

Syntheses, Characterization and Crystal Structures of Two Isostructural Hydrazone Compounds N′-(3-Bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-chlorobenzohydrazide Methanol Solvate and N′-(3,5-Dichloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-chlorobenzohydrazide Methanol Solvate

Abstract  

Reactions of 4-chlorobenzohydrazide with 3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, respectively, afforded two isostructural hydrazone compounds, C₁₄H₉BrCl₂N₂O₂·CH₃OH (1) and C₁₄H₉Cl₃N₂O₂·CH₃OH (2). Both compounds were structurally characterized by X-ray determination. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P − 1 with unit cell dimensions a = 7.462(1) ?, b = 9.281(2) ?, c = 12.626(1) ?, α = 98.451(2)°, β = 98.630(2)°, γ = 100.025(2)°, V = 837.8(2) ?³, Z = 2, R ₁ = 0.0394 and wR ₂ = 0.0967. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with unit cell dimensions a = 7.485(1) ?, b = 13.389(2) ?, c = 16.693(2) ?, β = 99.754(2)°, V = 1648.7(4) ?³, Z = 4, R ₁ = 0.0375 and wR ₂ = 0.0900. X-ray structural determination revealed that each compound consists of a hydrazone molecule and a methanol molecule of crystallization. In the crystal structures of both compounds, the adjacent molecules are linked by methanol molecules through N–H···O and O–H···O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers.

Abstract  

The title complex triaqua (3-hydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyridine-4-carboxaldehyde-3-methylisothiosemicarbazone-k³,O³,N⁷,N¹⁰)Ni(II) nitrate ([Ni(PLITSC)(H₂O)₃](NO₃)₂, 1) represents the second transition metal complex incorporating an isothiosemicarbazide-pyridoxal based Schiff base that has been crystallographically characterized. Complex 1 crystallizes in a P21/n space group, with lattice constants: a = 11.2254(1) ?, b = 12.9941(2) ?, c = 12.8663(2), β = 96,7713(5)°, V = 1863.64(4) ?³, Z = 4, F(000) = 1016, R ₁ = 0.0681, wR ₂ = 0.1201. The central Ni(II) cation is found in a six-coordinate octahedral geometry formed by the tridentate Schiff base ligand PLITSC and three water molecules. The identity of 1 was further confirmed by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and conductometric and magnetochemical measurements.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of γ-Type Octamolybdates Coordinated by Alanines

Abstract  

The acidification of aqueous solutions containing Na₂MoO₄·2H₂O and KCl in the presence of alanine ligand gives an octamolybdate coordinated by two alanine ligands, K₄[Mo₈O₂₆(CH₃CH(NH₃)CO₂)₂]·4H₂O (1), which crystallizes with triclinic symmetry in the space group P[`1] P\overline{1} , the cell parameters being a = 9.0622(10) ?, b = 9.9652(11) ?, c = 10.6322(12) ?, α = 90.021(2)°, β = 100.656(2)°, γ = 106.271 (2)°, V = 904.42(17) ?³, Z = 1, D _c  = 2.920 g cm⁻³ and final R indices (I > 2σ(I)) R ₁ = 0.0257, wR ₂ = 0.0682, S = 1.115. The alanine ligands are coordinated via their carboxylate–oxygen as a monodentate ligand to γ-[Mo₈O₂₆]⁴⁻ anion.     

Molecular Structures of RN(H)Py (R?=?2,4,6-Me3C6H2, 2,6-Et2C6H3, Ph3C), and the Copper Complex [Cu{(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)N(H)Py}2]BF4

Abstract  The molecular structures of RN(H)Py [R = 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂ (1), 2,6-Et₂C₆H₃ (2), -CPh₃ (3)] have been determined along with the copper(I) complex [Cu{(2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂)N(H)Py}₂]BF₄ (4). Each of the amines exists as a hydrogen-bonded head-to-tail dimer. Compound 3 has four independent molecules in the asymmetric unit as a consequence of changes in the relative orientation of the pyridyl and phenyl rings. The copper in 4 is two-coordinate with the conformation of the aryl rings being dominated by inter-cation packing.
