Abstract Two dinuclear iron(II) complexes of formulae [Fe2(bpym)(C5O5)2(H2O)4]·2H2O (1) and [Fe2(bpym)(C4O4)2(H2O)6]·2H2O (2) (bpym = 2,2-bipyrimidine, C5O52 = dianion of croconic acid (4,5-dihydroxycylopent-4-ene-1,2,3-trione) and C4O42 = dianion of squaric acid (3,4-dihydroxycyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione)) were prepared and their crystal structures (at 103 K) determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The structure of 1 consists of neutral centrosymmetric [Fe2(bpym)(C5O5)2(H2O)4] units and water molecules of crystallization which are linked by an extensive network of hydrogen bonds. The coordination geometry around each iron atom is that of a compressed octahedron with bpym nitrogen atoms and cr…
Preparation and structural studies on dibutyltin(IV) complexes with pyridine mono- and dicarboxylic acids
2004
Abstract A number of organotin(IV) complexes with pyridine mono- and dicarboxylic acids (containing ligating –COOH group(s) and aromatic {N} atoms) were prepared in the solid state. The bonding sites of the ligands were determined by means of FT-IR spectroscopic measurements. It was found that in most cases the –COO− groups form bridges between two central {Sn} atoms, thereby leading to polymeric (oligomeric) complexes. On this basis, the experimental 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopic data were treated with partial quadrupole splitting approximations. The calculations predicted the existence of complexes with octahedral (oh) and trigonal-bipyramidal (tbp) structures, but the formation of comple…

The preparation and magnetic investigation of five mononuclear copper(II) complexes of formula [Cu(pyim)(C2O4)(H2O)]·2H2O (1), [Cu(pyim)(C4O4)(H2O)2]·2H2O (2), Cu(pyim)(C5O5)·2.5H2O (3), [Cu(H2bim)(C2O4)(H2O)]·H2O (4) and [Cu(bpz)(C5O5)(H2O)] (5) [pyim=2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole, H2bim=2,2′-biimidazole, bpz=2,2′-bipyrazine, C2O42−=dianion of oxalic acid, C4O42−=dianion of squaric acid and C5O52−=dianion of croconic acid] are reported. The crystal structures of 1, 2, 4 and 5 have been determined. The copper atom has a distorted square pyramidal geometry in this family of complexes: two nitrogen atoms from the bidentate nitrogen donor [pyim (1 and 2), H2bim (4) and bpz (5)] and two oxygen atoms e…
Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of copper(ii) dicyanamide complexes; dinuclear, chain and ladder compounds
2002
The preparation, crystal structures and magnetic properties of three heteroleptic copper(II) complexes with dicyanamide (dca) bridges, [Cu(bpca)(H2O)(dca)]2 (1) (bpca = bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amidate), [Cu(bpy)(dca)2]n (2) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), [Cu2(bpm)(dca)4]n (3) (bpm = 2,2′-bipyrimidine) are reported. In addition, magnetic susceptibility measurements of the sheetlike polymer [Cu(phen)(dca)2] (4) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), structurally characterized previously, have been performed. In complex 1 pairs of mononuclear structural building blocks, [Cu(bpca)(dca)(H2O)], are loosely connected through a 1,3-dca bridge in which nitrile is equatorially bound and the amide is semi-coordinated …
Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of chromato-, sulfato-, and oxalato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes
2000
Abstract Four dinuclear copper(II) complexes of formula [Cu2(bpca)2(H2O)3(CrO4)]·H2O (1), [Cu2(bpca)2(H2O)3(SO4)]·H2O (2), [Cu2(bpca)2(H2O)2(C2O4)]·2H2O (3), and [Cu2(bpca)2(C2O4)] (4) [bpca=bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amide anion] have been synthesized and their magnetic behavior has been investigated as a function of temperature. The structures of 1–3 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, whereas the structure of 4 was already known. The structures of this family of complexes are made up of neutral chromateO1,O1′ (1), sulfateO1,O1′ (2) and oxalateO1,O2:O1′,O2′-bridged (3 and 4) dinuclear copper(II) units. The two copper atoms within the dinuclear unit of the isomorphous c…
