The compound [Ag₂(B₁₀H₁₀)(DMF)] is synthesized, and its crystal structure is studied (R = 0.0699 for 2836 observed reflections). The coordination number of each of the four independent Ag atoms is 4 + 2. The nearest environment of the Ag(1) and Ag(4) atoms consists of two O atoms of the DMF molecules and two BH groups, and that of the Ag(2) and Ag(3) atoms consists of four BH groups. All the Ag atoms additionally form weak bonds with two BH groups. The Ag-O and Ag-B bonds lie in the ranges 2.319–2.465(9) and 2.46–2.70(1) ?, respectively, and the Ag⋯B distances are 2.89–3.25(1) ?. Due to the binding of each polyhedral anion to five Ag atoms, layers are formed. Bridging DMF molecules link layers into the three-dimensional framework. Original Russian Text ? I.N. Polyakova, E.A.

Spectroscopic Investigation on the Formation of a Dinuclear Me2SO–Ru2-Mercaptopyridine Bridged Complex: [Ru2Cl3(μ-pyS)(μ-dmso)(dmso)4]?·?2H2O

Abstract  A dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex double-bridged by an N-aromatic ligand 2-mercaptopyridine (2-pyridinethiol or 2-pyridyl mercaptan) and a methyl sulfoxide (dmso) have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. The reported compound with formula [Ru₂Cl₃(μ-pyS)(μ-dmso)(dmso)₄] · 2H₂O, [C₁₅H₃₆Cl₃NO₇S₆Ru₂] (P2/c, a = 13.8175(2) ?, b = 10.5608(2) ?, c = 21.3544(3) ?, β = 106.090(1)°, V = 2,994.05(8) ?³, Z = 4) represents a seven-membered ring system with both rutheniums in an octahedral geometry. All the hydrogen bonds (C–H–Cl) and the van der Waals contacts give rise to three-dimensional network in the structure and add stability to the dinuclear compound. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the formation of a dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex double-bridged by an N-aromatic ligand 2-mercaptopyridine and dmso have been reported. The study also provided valuable insight into bioinorganic chemistry as continuing efforts are being made to develop metal-based cancer chemotherapeutics. A major feature of this paper is the resolution of a double bridged ruthenium structure which contributes to a better understanding of ruthenium reactivity.

Three Sr²⁺ compounds with the Edta ⁴⁻ and H₂ Edta ²⁻ ligands—Sr₂(Edta) · 5H₂O (I), Sr₂(H₂ Edta)(HCO₃)₂ · 4H₂O (II), and Sr₂(H₂ Edta)Cl₂ · 5H₂O (III)—are synthesized, and their crystal structures are studied. In I, the Sr(1) atom is coordinated by the hexadentate Edta ⁴⁻ ligand following the 2N + 4O pattern and by two O atoms of the neighboring ligands, which affords the formation of zigzag chains. The Sr(2) atom forms bonds with O atoms of five water molecules and attaches itself to a chain via bonds with three O atoms of the Edta ⁴⁻ ligands. The Sr(1)-O and Sr(2)-O bond lengths fall in the ranges 2.520(2)–2.656(3) and 2.527(3)–2.683(2) ?, respectively. The Sr(1)-N bonds are 2.702(3) and 2.743(3) ? long. In II and III, the H₂ Edta ²⁻ anions have a centrosymmetric structure with the trans configuration of the planar ethylenediamine fragment. The N atoms are blocked by acid protons. In II, the environment of the Sr atom is formed by six O atoms of three H₂ Edta ligands, two O atoms of water molecules, and an O atom of the bicarbonate ion, which is disordered over two positions. In III, the environment of the Sr atom includes six O atoms of four H₂ Edta ²⁻ ligands and three O atoms of water molecules. The coordination number of the Sr atoms is equal to 8 + 1. In II and III, the main bonds fall in the ranges 2.534(3)–2.732(2) and 2.482(2)–2.746(3) ?, whereas the ninth bond is elongated to 2.937(3) and 3.055(3) ?, respectively. In II, all the structural elements are linked into wavy layers. The O-H…O interactions contribute to the stabilization of the layer and link neighboring layers. In III, hydrated Sr²⁺ cations and H₂ Edta ^– anions form a three-dimensional [Sr₂(H₂ Edta)(H₂O)₃] _n ²ⁿ⁺ framework. The Cl⁻ anions are fixed in channels of the framework by hydrogen bonds with four water molecules. In II and III, the N-H groups form four-center N-H…O₃ hydrogen bonds, which include one intermolecular and two intramolecular components. PACS numbers: 61.66.Hq Original Russian Text ? I.N.

Refinement of the crystal structure of [Rb x (NH4)1? x ]3H(SO4)2( x = 0.11) by single-crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction: I. Phase II at 300 K

The crystal structure of a mixed [Rb_0.11(NH₄)_0.89]₃H(SO₄)₂ crystal was refined using single-crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction at 300 K. The refinement confirmed that the phase II of the crystal belongs to the monoclinic crystal system (space group C2/c). It was shown that, according to the single-crystal neutron diffraction data, ammonium ions can be represented as regular tetrahedra. The analysis of the constructed difference Fourier maps of the electron and nuclear densities of ammonium ions revealed the presence of additional peaks, which can indicate the dynamic disorder of ammonium ions in the phase II. The results obtained con-firmed that the phase transition to the orientational-glass state can occur in the mixed [Rb_0.11(NH₄)_0.89]₃H(SO₄)₂ crystal with a decrease in the temperature.

The X-Ray Structure and Spectroscopic Characterization of [Zn(H2O)6][{Zn(H2O)}2(ttha)]·4H2O (ttha?=?Triethylenetetraamine-N,N,N′,N″,N?,N?-hexaacetate)

Abstract  

[Zn(H₂O)₆][{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]·4H₂O (ttha = triethylenetetraamine-N,N,N′,N″,N‴,N‴-hexaacetate) has been structurally characterized (triclinic, P-1, a = 7.4014(4) ?, b = 8.5521(4) ?, c = 15.0309(7) ?, α = 73.582(1)°, β = 85.173(1)°, γ = 69.935(1)°; V = 857.15(7) ?³; Z = 1). The two Zn²⁺ ions bound by the [ttha]⁻⁶ ligand are in distorted octahedral environments. While there exists a center of symmetry in the [{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]²⁻ anion in the crystalline state, ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopy demonstrates the absence of a center of symmetry in aqueous solution. Furthermore, electronic absorption spectroscopy reveals that [Zn(H₂O)₆][{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]·4H₂O reacts with vanadyl(IV) acetate in aqueous solution at room temperature to yield [(VO)₂(ttha)]²⁻. This reaction implies that Zn²⁺ can dissociate from [{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]²⁻ in aqueous solution.

Abstract  

The title complex: C₄H₁₂N₂[Co(C₄H₇N₂O₂)₂Cl₂]₂·2H₂O, viz., PpH₂[Co(dmgH)₂Cl₂]₂·2H₂O, where, dmgH⁻ = dimethylglyoximate and Pp = piperazine was synthesized and analyzed by single crystal XRD studies. The complex was grown as brown crystals by the slow evaporation method in ethanol. The complex crystallizes as triclinic with the space group p[`1] p\overline{1} and unit cell parameters a = 8.4521 (10) Å, b = 10.0999 (11) Å, c = 10.8952(13) Å; α = 94.066(6)°, β = 106.047(6)° and γ = 100.901(6)°. There are two complex molecules present in the unit cell. The short intra molecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds link the glyoximate moieties in the crystal.     

Synthesis and Structural Studies of [Na(C7H6O4)(H2O)3](C7H5O4)?·?2H2O

Abstract  The mononuclear complex [Na(C₇H₆O₄)(H₂O)₃](C₇H₅O₄) · 2H₂O has been synthesized and characterized by IR, single crystal X-ray and thermal analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with a = 3.623(2) ?, b = 15.872(6) ?, c = 15.650(5) ?, β = 93.13(4)°, V = 896.6(7) ?³ and Z = 2. The central sodium ion is six coordinated with distorted octahedral geometry by two oxygen atoms from two bridging 3,5-dihydroxybenzoate ligands and four ones from different water molecules. The notable feature of the title complex is the formation of a three-dimensional network, through the combination of coordination bonds, hydrogen bonds and π···π interactions. There are one-dimensional channels in the structure, filled in by water molecules. The compound dehydrates in the temperature range of 70–125 °C and then is stable up to 230 °C.
