(3), where LH = 1-H-2-phenylbenzimidazole, LMe = 1-methyl-2-phenylbenzimidazole, LPh = 1,2-diphenylbenzimidazole, and H 2 dcbpy = 2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid, has been synthesized and fully characterized by elemental analysis, 1 H and 31 P NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray analysis. The complexes show strong luminescence in the yellow-orange region in ethanol at room temperature (quantum yield is up to 22 %), and
The chiral title compound, [CeNi6(C3H6NO2)12][Ce(NO3)3(OH)3(H2O)], comprises a complex heterometallic Ni/Ce cation and a homonuclear Ce anion. Both the cation and anion exhibit point group symmetry 3. with the CeIII atom situated on the threefold rotation axis. The cation metal core consists of six NiII atoms coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral N2O4 configuration by N and O atoms of 12 deprotonated l-alaninate ligands exhibiting both bridging and chelating modes. This metal–organic coordination motif encapsulates one CeIII atom that shows an icosahedral coordination by the O-donor atoms of the l-alaninate ligands, with Ce—O distances varying in the range 2.455 (5)–2.675 (3) Å. In the anion, the central CeIII ion is bound to three bidentate nitrate ligands, to three hydroxide ligands and to one water molecule, with Ce—O distances in the range 2.6808 (19)–2.741 (2) Å. The H atoms of the coordinating water molecule are disordered over three positions due to its location on a threefold rotation axis. Disorder is also observed in fragments of two l-alaninate ligands, with occupancy ratios of 0.608 (14):0.392 (14) and 0.669 (8):0.331 (8), respectively, for the two sets of sites. In the crystal, the complex cations and anions assemble through O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network with large voids of approximately 1020 Å3. The contributions of highly disordered ethanol and water solvent molecules to the diffraction data were removed with the SQUEEZE procedure [Spek (2015 ▸). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18]. The given chemical formula and other crystal data do not take into account the unknown amount of these solvent molecules.
We present here synthesis and crystal structure of a neutral IrIIIcomplex, [Ir(C19H13N2)2(C15H11O2)]·2CH2Cl2or [Ir(C^N)2O^O]·2CH2Cl2, where C^N is 1,2-diphenyl-1H-benzimidazole and O^O is 2-benzoyl-1-phenylethenolate. The coordination sphere of the IrIIIatom, located on a twofold rotation axis, is that of a slighlty distorted C2N2O2octahedron, with the N atoms in atransconfiguration. In the crystal, complex molecules assemble through weak C—H...π interactions in the range 2.699 (3)–2.892 (3) Å. The solvent CH2Cl2molecules reside in channels aligned along theaaxis and are connected to the complex molecules by C—H...O interactions.
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.
