Bis(5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinolinium) tetrachloridopalladate(II), (C(9)H(7)ClNO)(2)[PdCl(4)], (I), catena-poly[dimethylammonium [[dichloridopalladate(II)]-μ-chlorido]], {(C(2)H(8)N)[PdCl(3)]}(n), (II), ethylenediammonium bis(5-chloroquinolin-8-olate), C(2)H(10)N(2)(2+)·2C(9)H(5)ClNO(-), (III), and 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinolinium chloride, C(9)H(7)ClNO(+)·Cl(-), (IV), were synthesized with the aim of preparing biologically active complexes of Pd(II) and Ni(II) with 5-chloroquinolin-8-ol (ClQ). Compounds (I) and (II) contain Pd(II) atoms which are coordinated in a square-planar manner by four chloride ligands. In the structure of (I), there is an isolated [PdCl(4)](2-) anion, while in the structure of (II) the anion consists of Pd(II) atoms, lying on centres of inversion, bonded to a combination of two terminal and two bridging Cl(-) ligands, lying on twofold rotation axes, forming an infinite [-μ(2)-Cl-PdCl(2)-](n) chain. The negative charges of these anions are balanced by two crystallographically independent protonated HClQ(+) cations in (I) and by dimethylammonium cations in (II), with the N atoms lying on twofold rotation axes. The structure of (III) consists of ClQ(-) anions, with the hydroxy groups deprotonated, and centrosymmetric ethylenediammonium cations. On the other hand, the structure of (IV) consists of a protonated HClQ(+) cation with the positive charge balanced by a chloride anion. All four structures are stabilized by systems of hydrogen bonds which occur between the anions and cations. π-π interactions were observed between the HClQ(+) cations in the structures of (I) and (IV).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
