Tin(II) Derivatives of 2,3-Dihydroxynaphthalene

Abstract The reaction of aqueous solutions of tin(II) chloride and 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene (H2A) gives a white precipitate of SnA. This compound has been characterized by chemical analysis, IR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. A spectrophotometric study of tin(II) and H2A in DMF shows the formation of two species with stoichiometric ratios Sn:H2A 1:1 and 1:2.

Structure, spectroscopic and magnetic properties of a novel 1-D coordination copper(II) polymer containing BIMAM ligand [BIMAM=bis(imidazol-2-yl)methylaminomethane] and μ-1,3 squarato bridges

Abstract This paper reports the synthesis and complete characterization (structural, spectroscopic and magnetic) of [Cu(HBIMAM)Cl(C4O4)]n · (H2O)n [BIMAM = bis(imidazol-2-yl)methylaminomethane]. This compound is made of infinite chains – running along c axis – built from [CuCl(HBIMAM)]+ units bridged together by μ-O1,O3-bis(monodentate) squarate anions. Non-covalent interactions (H-bonds and π–π) drive the build-up of an infinite three-dimensional array. The coordination polyhedron about the copper(II) ion is distorted square pyramidal. The EPR spectrum is indicative of a d z 2 - y 2 ground state for the Cu(II) ions with significant contribution of d z 2 . Magnetic susceptibility measuremen…

Synthesis, properties and crystal structure of bis(metiamide)bis(isothiocyanato)nickel(II)

Abstract The crystal structure of Ni(metiamide)2(NCS)2 was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Unlike cimetidine, which is a tridentate ligand, metiamide (C9H16N4S2): N-Methyl-N-[2-{(5-methylimidazol-4-yl)methylthio}ethyl]thiourea (which also possesses three potential donor sites) is bidentate, coordinated to the nickel atom through N(imidazole) and S(thioether) atoms. The S(thiourea) atom does not take part in the coordination; instead, the isothiocyanate ion is coordinated through nitrogen to the metal atom. The nickel atom lies on a centre of symmetry in an elongated octahedral environment: the nitrogen atoms occupy equatorial positions (NiN = 2.04 and 2.06 A) and S(thioether) atom…

A rare example of nickel(ii) chains based on a heteroscorpionate-like ligand with quadruple imidazolyl interactions

The first nickel(ii) complex with the heteroscorpionate-like bridging ligand DIMMAL (2-di1H-2-imidazolylmethylmalonate), [Ni(DIMMAL)(H2O)3]n·3nH2O (1), is a one-dimensional coordination polymer whose structure shows regular Ni(ii) chains with H-bonding inter-chain interactions and a rare example of a Quadruple Imidazolyl Embrace (QIE). The Ni(ii) chain shows a weak antiferromagnetic interaction that can be modelled with a regular S = 1 chain model including a zero field splitting with g = 2.270, J = -1.5 cm(-1) and D = -2.26 cm(-1).

Crystal and molecular structure of tris(mepirizole) copper(II) hexafluorophosphate [mepirizole = 4-methoxy-2-5-methoxy-3-methyl-1h-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methylpyrimidine

Abstract The X-ray crystal structure of Cu(mep)3(PF6)2 [mep = mepirizole or 4-methoxy-2-(5-methoxy-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6 methylpyrimidine], obtained from stoichiometric quantities of mep, Cu(NO3)2 and KPF6 in water/ethanol solution was determined.

Crystal structure, spectroscopic characterisation and magnetic properties of [Cu(BIP)(N3)]·H2O (BIP=3,3-bis(2-imidazolyl)propionate), a copper(II) polymeric compound with asymmetrical μ-1,3-azido bridges

Abstract The structure and the spectroscopic and magnetic properties of [3,3-bis(2-imidazolyl)propionato]azidocopper(II) monohydrate are described. The compound is built of [Cu(BIP)N3] entities which are connected through carboxylate groups from the BIP molecules —which act as a tridentate ligand—and asymmetrical μ-1,3-azido bridges, leading to a polymeric sheet-like structure. The copper atom is involved in a CuN3ON′ chromophore and lies in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. Both electronic and EPR spectra are indicative of an essentially dx2−y2 ground state for the copper(II) ions. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the range 1.8–200 K show very weak antiferromagnetic exchange…
