The new compound [Pd(NH₂CH₂CH₂OH)₄][Pd₆(NH₂CH₂CH₂S)₈]Cl₆ · 5H₂O (I) is synthesized and its crystal structure is determined. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 25.625(6) Å, b = 9.633(5) Å, c = 24.847(7) Å, β = 91.47(2)°, Z = 4, and space group C2/c.

In the hexanuclear cation, the interaction between the Pd atoms occurs through the S atoms of the mercaptoethylaminate ligands. The Pd(2) and Pd(3) atoms and the ligands form two metallochelate fragments in which the N and S atoms are located in cis positions. The average lengths of the Pd-S and Pd-N bonds are equal to 2.274(1) and 2.074(6) Å, respectively. The metallochelate fragments are joined to each other and to their centrosymmetric analogues through the Pd(1) atom, which coordinates four S atoms [the average Pd-S_av bond length is 2.332(1) Å]. In the mononuclear cation, the Pd(4) atom coordinates four N atoms of the monoethylaminate ligands [the Pd-N bond lengths are 2.045(6) and 2.056(6) Å]. The shortest Pd?Pd distance is equal to 3.207(1) Å. The bonding in the structure is provided by numerous hydrogen bonds with the participation of all the H₂O molecules, NH₂ groups, and Cl^? anions.

The structural units of crystals I are trinuclear linear molecules, in which the peripheral atoms Zn(1) and Zn(2) each coordinate two N atoms and three O atoms of the HEdta ^3? ligand and the O(w) atom of the H₂O molecule, whereas the central Zn(3) atom coordinates four O(w) atoms of the H₂O molecules and two terminal O atoms of the two HEdta ^3? ligands. The HEdta ^3? ligand fulfills a hexadentate chelating—bridging function. The bond lengths are as follows: Zn-O(HEdta), 2.006(4)–2.123(4) Å; Zn-N, 2.214(6) and 2.128(5) Å; and Zn-O(w), 2.006(6)–2.225(5) Å. In structure I, there is a specific contact formed by hydrogen bonds, owing to which the distance between the central atoms of individual molecules appears to be shorter than that in covalently bonded complexes.

The structures of compounds I and II are compared with those of the previously studied complexes Mg[CoEdta]₂·10H₂O (III) and Ca[CoEdta]₂·7H₂O (IV). The crystal structure of the cobalt(III) complex with the strontium cation (I) is topologically similar to the crystal structure of cobalt(III) complex with the calcium cation (IV). The former structure is built up of the two symmetrically independent homochiral anionic complexes [CoEdta]^?

(A _II and B _II) with different chiralities (i.e., they are kryptoracemates). The A _II anions are linked via the barium cations into {Ba(H₂O)₇[CoEdta]} _1∞ ⁺ chain agglomerates due to the incorporation of two terminal oxygen atoms O_u of the anions neighboring in the chain into the coordination sphere of the barium atom. All four structures (I–IV) contain stacks composed of the [CoEdta]^? homochiral anions forming layers aligned parallel to the (001) plane. The aqua cations [Sr(H₂O)₈]²⁺, [Mg(H₂O)₆]²⁺, and [Ca(H₂O)₇]²⁺ or the partially hydrated barium cations [Ba(H₂O)₇(O_u)₂]²⁺ (in structure II), as well as water molecules w _cr, are located between the anion layers. The octahedral environment of the cobalt(III) atoms consists of donor atoms (2N and 4O) of the Edta ^4? ligand. The Co-N bonds in the A _I, B _I, A _II, and B _II anions [the mean bond lengths are 1.927(4), 1.921(4), 1.910(6), and 1.921(6) Å, respectively] are considerably longer than the Co-O bonds [the mean bond lengths are 1.908(5), 1.902(5), 1.904(6), and 1.908(6) Å, respectively]. The mean distances Sr-O_w and Ba-O_w in the strontium and barium polyhedra are 2.609(4) and 2.834(8) Å, respectively. The mean distance Ba-O_u is 2.814(7) Å.

The unit cell involves two crystallographically nonequivalent but virtually identical cationic complexes [Co(Ceida)(H₂O)(Phen)]⁺. The tridentate chelate ligand Ceida ^2? (N + 2O) occupies the face in the coordination octahedron of the Co atom, and the propionamide group remains free. The mean bond lengths are as follows: Co-O_Ceida, 1.876 Å; Co-N_Ceida, 1.981 Å; Co-N_Phen, 1.945 Å; and Co-O_w, 1.915 Å. In the structure, the arrangement of cationic complexes and certain water molecules exhibits a pseudosymmetry (the 2₁ axis). The cations and water molecules are located in the layers, and the anions are arranged between the layers. The structural elements are linked by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions.     

Crystal Structure Determination of Nickel (2,2-Dipyridyl) Sulphate Hexahydrate [Ni(C10H8N2) · 4 H2O]SO4 · 2H2O

[Ni(C₁₀H₈N₂) · 4 H₂O]SO₄ · 2 H₂O, Mr = 418.7, monoclinic, P1 , a = 7.781(3), b = 9.421(3), c = 11.457(4) Å, α = 87.54(2)º, β = 96.40(2)º, γ = 102.58(2)º, ν = 814.5 Å, D_x = 1.26 g/cm³, Z = 2, (MoKx) = 0.71073 Å, μ = 7.0 cm⁻¹: T = 23 °C, R = 0.047 for 2139 reflections having intensities greater than 36. The structure was solved using the Patterson heavy-atom method and the remaining atoms were located in succeeding difference Fourier syntheses. The structure was then refined by full matrix least-squares using anisotropic temperature factors. Hydrogen atoms were located and their positions and isotropic parameters were refined.
