Crystal structure of bis[diethylenetriamine-N′-(3-propionato)-N, N′,N″,O,O′]dicopper(II) Diperchlorate, [Cu2(4-Dtmp)2](ClO4)2

A complex of copper(II) with the diethylenetriaminemonopripionate ligand [Cu₂(4-Dtmp)₂](ClO₄)₂ (I) is synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction. The crystals of compound I are monoclinic, a = 7.740(2) Å, b = 19.199(3) Å, c = 8.449(2) Å, β = 91.61(2)°, Z = 2, and space group P2₁/n. The structural units of crystal I are centrosymmetric dimeric cations and statistically disordered ClO ₄ ⁻ anions. In the cation, the copper atom is coordinated by three N atoms [mean Cu-N, 2.01(1) Å] and two O atoms [Cu-O, 2.134(6) Å and 1.958(7) Å] of the pentadentate bridging-chelate Dtmp ligand, which occupy vertices of the trigonal bipyramid. The binuclear cations are linked via centrosymmetric pairs of hydrogen bonds into ribbons aligned parallel to the a axis of the crystal. The ClO ₄ ⁻ anions form columns in the same direction. In the crystal, the cationic ribbons and anionic columns alternate in a chessboard fashion. __________ Translated from Kristallografiya, Vol. 50, No. 3, 2005, pp. 450–454.

Crystal structure of the Lanthanum(III) complex [La(DMSO)6(H2O)PW12O40] · C2H5OH (DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide)

The crystal structure of the [La(DMSO)₆(H₂O)PW₁₂O₄₀] · C₂H₅OH complex (I) (where DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide) is determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The coordination polyhedron of the La atom is a distorted tricapped trigonal prism in which two cap sites are occupied by oxygen atoms of the heteropolyanions. For these atoms, the La-O distances [2.760(9) and 2.801(9) Å] are considerably longer than the other distances [ranging from 2.441(10) to 2.569(10) Å] in the environment of the La atom. __________ Translated from Kristallografiya, Vol. 47, No. 6, 2002, pp. 1039–1041.

Crystal structure of the mixed-ligand copper(II) complex with S-proline-N-monoacetate dianion and imidazole [Cu(Proma)(Im)] · H2O

The crystal structure of the [Cu(Proma)(Im)] · H₂O coordination compound (where Proma ²⁻ is an S-proline-N-monoacetate dianion and Im is imidazole) is studied by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are orthorhombic, a = 8.286 Å, b = 8.546 Å, c = 17.309 Å, Z = 4, and space group P2₁2₁2₁. The structural units of the crystal are the [Cu(Proma)(Im)] molecular complexes and crystallization water molecules. The square coordination of the Cu atom involves O atoms of two acetate groups (Cu-O, 1.958 and 1.955 Å) and N atoms of the Proma and Im ligands (Cu-N, 1.986 and 1.958 Å). The terminal O atoms of the neighboring complexes complete the Cu coordination polyhedron to a 4 + 1 + 1 square bipyramid (Cu-O, 2.578 and 2.783 Å) and form a framework structure. The hydrogen bonds involving oxygen atoms of the Proma ligand, water molecules, and an uncoordinated nitrogen atom of the Im ligand contribute to the strengthening of the framework. __________ Translated from Kristallografiya, Vol. 49, No. 5, 2004, pp. 871–875.

Palladium (II) compounds with diaminocarboxylic acids: Crystal structures of [Pd(H2Cdta)] · H2O, [Pd(H3Edtp)Cl] · 2H2O, and (H6Edtp)[PdCl4] · 4H2O

The crystal structures of three Pd(II) compounds with diamine tetracarboxylates in different protonation states are determined, namely, [Pd(H₂ Cdta)] · H₂O (I), [Pd(H₃ EdtpCl] · 2H₂O (II), and (H₆ Edtp)[PdCl₄] · 4H₂O (III) (R ₁ = 0.0230, 0.0313, and 0.0277 for 3040, 3377, and 3809 reflections with I > 2σ(I) for I–III, respectively). Crystals I and II are built of neutral complexes [Pd(H₂ Cdta)] and [Pd(H₃ Edtp)Cl], respectively, and crystallization water molecules. Crystal III consists of [PdCl₄]²⁻ anionic complexes, H₆ Edtp ²⁺ cations, and water molecules. In I, one of the protonated acetate groups of the H₂ Cdta ²⁻ ligand forms a very weak additional Pd-O bond [2.968(2) Å] over the 2N + 2O coordination square. In II and III, the protonated propionate groups of the H₃ Edtp ⁻ ligand and the H₆ Edtp ²⁺ cation are not involved in Pd coordination and the coordination squares consist of the 2N + O + Cl and 4Cl atoms, respectively. __________ Translated from Kristallografiya, Vol. 48, No. 2, 2003, pp. 278–282.

The isomorphous substitution of 2H+ for the Cu2+ cation in the complex of bis(aminoguanidine)copper(II): Crystal structures of (Cu0.61H0.78Agu2)B12H12 and (HAgu)2B12H12

An X-ray diffraction study of the (Cu_0.61H_0.78 Agu ₂)B₁₂H₁₂ (I) mixed crystal and one of its components (HAgu)₂B₁₂H₁₂ (II) is performed at 160 K (R = 0.0312 and 0.0345, respectively). Crystals I and II are isostructural. In I, two H⁺ ions partially substitute the Cu²⁺ cation, resulting in a combination of [CuAgu ₂]²⁺ and (HAgu ₂)₂₊ cations in the structure. The cations and polyhedral B₁₂H₁₂²⁻ anions have centrosymmetric structures. A square planar environment for the Cu atom is formed by four N atoms of two Agu molecules, which close five-membered chelate cycles [Cu-N, 1.9702(13) and 2.0261(10) ?]. The distant apical vertices are occupied by H atoms of the B₁₂H₁₂²⁻ anions [Cu…H, 2.805(14) ?]. In the dimeric (HAgu ₂)²⁺ cations, the proton that substitutes for the Cu²⁺ cation forms a three-center N(1)-H…N(4),N(4)′ hydrogen bond which consists of intramolecular and an intermolecular components. In crystal II, the N(1)…N(4) and N(1)…N(4)′ distances [2.685(1) and 3.111(1) ?] are longer than in I [2.610(2) and 3.027(2) ?]. In I, the Cu…H interactions connect [CuAgu ₂]²⁺ cations and B₁₂H₁₂²⁻ anions into chains. In the cells that contain the (HAgu ₂)²⁺ dimeric cation, the chains are retained due to the secondary N-H…(B-H) interactions. Numerous weak secondary interactions between the cations and anions form three-dimensional frameworks in structures I and II.

Abstract  

The syntheses and structural characterizations of two novel 2-bromobenzoatozinc(II) complexes—[Zn(2-BrC₆H₄COO)₂] _n (I) and [Zn(2-BrC₆H₄COO)₂(mnad)]₂ (II), where mnad is N-methylnicotinamide are reported. Compound (I) crystallized with a monoclinic lattice (space group P2₁/c) and is polymeric in solid state. Its cell parameters are: a = 7.37220(10) Å, b = 19.9639(3) Å, c = 30.2756(5) Å, β = 94.7510(7)°, V = 4440.59(12) ų, Z = 4. The coordination environments of all zinc atoms are distorted tetrahedra built from four carboxylate oxygen atoms coming from four 2-bromobenzoato ligands. Compound (II) crystallized with a monoclinic lattice (space group P2₁/c) with a = 11.7488(2) Å, b = 20.3683(3) Å, c = 9.30130(10) Å, β = 100.3941(11)°, V = 2189.30(5) ų, Z = 2. This dimeric molecule features a paddle-wheel [Zn₂O₈] cage in solid state; the coordination environment of the central atom is square pyramidal consisting of four carboxylate oxygen atoms and the pyridine N atom of the mnad ligand.     

Crystal structure and EPR spectrum of dimeric di-μ-azide-bis[cyanide(N,N-diethylethylenediamine)]-copper(II), [Cu(N3)(NCO)(diEten)]2

The title compound, [Cu(N₃)(NCO)(C₆H₁₆N₂)]₂, crystallizes in the space groupP2₁/n, witha=8.336(1),b=17.405(3),c=8.376(1) Å, β=109.73(2)^o andZ=4. The molecules are arranged as centrosymmetric dimers in which two azide ligands bridge neighboring copper ions in an asymmetric head-on fashion. The Cu(II) ion is coordinated to five nitrogen atoms which form a distorted tetragonal pyramid. At the pyramid base are the two N atoms of a diEten molecule [Cu−N=2.00(1), 2.130(9) Å], an azide end atom [Cu−N=1.99(1) Å] and a NCO group [Cu−N=1.93(1) Å]. At the pyramid apex is the other, inversion related, azide N atom in the dimer [Cu−N=2.38(1) Å]. This Cu−N contact links the monomers within a dimer. Neighboring dimers are coupled by weak N−H…O contacts. Single crystal EPR data at X-band show that the pair of resonances expected for neighboring, magnetically nonequivalents dimers, collapse into a single line, a signature of inter-dimers superexchange coupling. The observed crystal gyromagnetic tensor is used to disclose the electronic and magnetic structure around Cu(II) ions.

In both compounds, two independent Mn atoms have different coordination numbers (6 and 7). __________ Translated from Kristallografiya, Vol. 47, No. 2, 2002, pp. 280–285.

Abstract  

A new acetyl phosphorylamidate P(O)[NHC(O)C₆H₄(4-NO₂)][N(CH(CH₃)₂)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂ has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR, IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that it belongs to triclinic system, space group P[`1] P\bar{1} , with a = 10.5868(16) Å, b = 11.8058(18) Å, c = 12.4364(19) Å, α = 65.410(3)°, β = 67.492(4)°, γ = 85.879(3)°, V = 1,298.6(3) Å³, and Z = 2. The intermolecular PO···HN hydrogen bond makes H-bonded dimer of molecule with Ci symmetry. In the crystal network, the dimers are aggregated in the chain arrays through π-stacking between p-NO₂–C₆H₄–C(O)–NH– moieties. Moreover, weak C–H···O and C–H···π interactions exist in the crystal network.     

Synthesis and structure of μ-oxo-bis [(acetylacetonato)(thioacetylacetonato)] dioxodimolybdenum(V) and υ-oxo-[tris(acetylacetonato)(thioacetylacetonato)]dioxodimolybdenum(V)

In the reaction of Mo₂O₃ (acac)₄ and Mo₂O₃ (OAc)₄ with thioacetylacetone two new complexes of molybdenum(V), Mo₂O₃ (acac)₂(Sacac)₂ (complexI) and Mo₂O₃(acac)₃(Sacac) (complexII), respectively, have been prepared. Their crystal structures have been determined from single crystal diffractometer data and refined to the finalR values of 0.068 and 0.044, respectively. Both complexes crystallize in the tetragonal space groupI4₁/a with cell dimensions, (I):a=21.646(3),c=11.627(2) Å,D _calc=1.630 g cm^–3,Z=8 and (II):a=21.240(3),c=11.688(2) Å,D _clac=1.644 g cm^3–,Z=8 and have essentially the same structure. In the structure of (II) half of thioacetylacetone of (I) is statistically replaced by acetylacetone causing thus an occupational disorder in this region of the structure. Both complex molecules are dinuclear and have crystallographically imposed ¯1 symmetry with the bridging oxygen atom in the center of symmetry. Molybdenum atoms exhibit distorted octahedral coordinations. Sulfur atom of the Sacac ligand in (I) shows a considerably largertrans influence than the oxo-oxygen atom.

Cs[VO₂(NO₃)₂] (I), MoO₂(NO₃)₂ (II), and Cs[MoO₂(NO₃)₃] (III) complexes have been obtained by crystallization from nitric solutions and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes I and II contain infinite zigzag chains of similar compositions, [VO₂(NO₃)₂]⁻ and [MoO₂(NO₃)₂], in which V and Mo atoms form, respectively, trigonal- and pentagonal-bipyramidal polyhedra. Each of these polyhedrons also contains one terminal and two bridge O atoms and two terminal NO₃ groups which are monodentate and bidentate in complexes I and II, respectively. Complex III has an island structure and consists of Cs⁺ cations and [MoO₂(NO₃)₃]⁻ anions, in which the Mo atom is surrounded by one bidentate NO₃ group and two monodentate NO₃ groups and two terminal O atoms in the cis-positions; oxygen atoms form a polyhedron in the form of distorted octahedron. According to the ab initio calculation of isolated MoO₂(NO₃)₂ molecules in the gas phase and solution, the coordination environment of the Mo atom, similarly to the Cr(VI) atom in CrO₂(NO₃)₂, is formed by two bidentate nitrate groups and two terminal O atoms (polyhedron- twisted trigonal prism).

The structure of the scandium iodide complex with antipyrine (AP) and its comparison with the structure of nonisostructural analogues (Compounds [Ln(AP)6]I3 (Ln = La, Y, or Eu))

An X-ray diffraction study of the scandium iodide complex with antipyrine [Sc(AP)₆]I₃ (AP is antipyrine, i.e., 2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one) (I), which is not isostructural to the analogous compounds of Y, La, and Eu (II), is performed.

In both cations, the Sc atom is octahedrally coordinated by six O atoms of six AP ligands (Sc-O, 2.054–2.078 ?). Complexes I differ from II by the absence of π-π stacking interactions between AP molecules, resulting in a supramolecular cation. Complex cations I of both types form combined layers. All I⁻ anions are located in the interlayer space, being statistically disordered within a flat area limited by eight complex cations of Sc1 and Sc2.
