| Abstract: | Abstract Bis(4-vinylpyridine)bis(dibenzoylmethanato)metal(II), [M(ViPy)2(DBM)2] (M = Ni(II), Co(II); ViPy = 4-Vinylpyridine; DBM = C6H5COCHCOC6H5 ?, dibenzoylmethanate) is a new metal-complex host. Its inclusions with carbon tetrachloride (host:guest = 1:2; triclinic, P 1, Z = 1) and chlorobenzene (host:guest = 1:1; monoclinic, P2 1 /c, Z = 4) are consistent with the van der Waals packing of neutral complex (host) and solvent (guest) molecules. In the host unit, four oxygens from two chelate DBM-units provide a square-planar environment around the metal center that is extended to octahedral coordination by two apical nitrogens from two vinylpyridine moieties in the trans-position. In the carbon tetrachloride inclusions, the host traps two guest molecules in large prolate spheroidal cavities. In the chlorobenzene inclusions, guest species are located inside 8-shaped serpentine channels along the y-axis. The nickel and cobalt versions of the inclusion compounds were found to be very similar. |
