Mononuclear complexes of 1-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine (HL 1 ) and 1-(pyridin-2-yl)-2-(1-, [Zn(HL 1 )(CH3COO)2] . (H2O)3 (2), [Mn(HL 2 )2] . (ClO4)2 (3) and [Cu(HL 2 )(NO3)2] (4), were synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods and X-ray structure determination. The mononuclear compounds 1, 2 and 4 contain one ligand molecule per metal atom while the manganese (II) atom in the compound 3 is coordinated to two ligand molecules. Both ligands coordinated to the transition metal center in tridentate fashion through two Npyridyl atoms and one Nimino atom. The chloride and acetate anions coordinate in monodentate manner respectively in complex 1 and in complex 2. In complex
The present investigation describes the synthesis and structural study of a metal-zinc ligand [ZnL.H2O], which was used to generate three dimensional supramolecular complex formulated as [Y{Zn(L)(SCN)}(SCN)2].[Y{Zn(L)(SCN)}2(DMF)2].(NO3). The title compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with the following unit cell parameters: a = 14.8987(7) Å, b = 15.6725(8) Å, c = 19.2339(10) Å, a = 94.610(4)°, β = 103.857(4)°, γ = 101.473(4)°, V = 4234.4(4) Å3, Z = 2, R1 = 0.063 and wR2 = 0.96. For this compound, the structure reveals that one heterodinuclear unit [Y{Zn(L)(SCN)}(SCN)2] is co-crystallized with a heterotrinuclear unit [Y{Zn(L)(SCN)}2(DMF)2].(NO3). In the dinuclear moiety, the organic molecule acts as a hexadentate ligand and in the trinuclear unit, it acts as a pentadentate ligand with one of the oxygen methoxy group remaining uncoordinated. In both units the coordination environment of the zinc metal can be described as distorted square pyramidal. In the dinuclear unit the Y(III) is hexacoordinated while it is octacoordinated in the trinuclear unit. The environment of the Y(III) can be described as a distorted octahedral geometry in the dinuclear and as a distorted square antiprism in the trinuclear units respectively.
In the pentanuclear title complex, [SmZn2(C22H18N2O4)2(NCS)2(C3H7NO)2][Zn2(C22H18N2O4)(NCS)3]·C3H7NO·0.32H2O, a dinuclear unit and a trinuclear unit co-exist. In the crystal, the trinuclear cationic units and dinuclear anionic units are assembled into infinite layers.
The asymmetric unit comprises a discrete molecule in which the cation MnII is heptacoordinated. The environment around the cation is an almost perfect pentagonal bipyramid. In the crystal, extensive hydrogen bonding leads to a three-dimensional framework.
Reactions of the Schiff base N,N-dimethyl-N'-((5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methylene) ethane-1,2-diamine (HL), synthesised in situ, with chloride or thiocyanate copper (II) salt; afforded two new mononuclear complexes, [Cu(HL)Cl2]·H2O (1) and [Cu(HL)(SCN)2] (2). These compounds have been studied and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopies, electrochemistry, molar conductivity and room temperature magnetic measurements. Single crystal X-ray structure determination of the complexes revealed the presence of neutral moieties in the asymmetric unit. The mononuclear (1) crystallises in the monoclinic space group P21/c with the following unit cell parameters a = 7.4355(3) Å, b = 7.2952(3) Å, c = 26.2729(11) Å, β = 93.461(4)°, V = 1422.52(10) Å3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.033 and wR2 = 0.082 and the mononuclear complex (2) crystallises in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the following unit cell parameters a = 26.2578(7) Å, b = 7.4334(2) Å, c = 16.6237(5) Å, β = 99.089(3)°, V = 3203.95(16) Å3, Z = 8, R1 = 0.037 and wR2 = 0.104. In both complexes the ligand acts in tridentate fashion and the coordination environment of the copper atom can be described as distorted square pyramidal. The crystal lattice of the complex 1 is stabilized by electrostatic forces of attraction and O–H···Cl, C–H···O, N–H···Cl, and C–H···Cl, hydrogen bonding interactions while the crystal lattice of the complex 2 is stabilized by N–H···S and C–H···N.
