In the crystal structures of methylated cyclopentadienyl (Cp) complexes (MeCp, Me4Cp and Me5Cp) deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database, certain orientation types of stacked contacts can be noted as the most frequent. These orientation preferences can be well explained by the matching of oppositely charged regions of electrostatic potential. Parallel displaced stacking, large offset stacking and C—H...π interactions are the dominant interaction types that are responsible for the arrangement in the crystal structures of stacked methylated Cp complexes.

The template reaction of a warm methanolic solution of Ni(OAc)2?4H2O S-n-propylisothiosemicarbazide hydroiodide and acetylacetone yielded the needle- like, brown, diamagnetic complex [Ni(L-H)]I?MeOH, and in the presence of an excess of NH 4NCS, brown, prismatic crystals of the complex [Ni(L-H)]NCS (1), both compounds involving the monoanionic form of the ligand, acetylacetone bis(S-n-propylisothiosemicarbazone), L. Slow recrystallization fromMeOH, EtOH, iPrOH and Me2CO gave the corresponding monosolvent complexes [Ni(L-H)]I?solvent, of which only those involving EtOH and iPrOH were suitable for structural analysis. The crystallographic parameters of [Ni(L-H)]I?EtOH (2) and [Ni(L-H)]I?iPrOH (3) are very similar to each other, showing their structures are isomorphic. The crystal structures of the title compounds consist of the independent ions: NCS-, or I-, and the chemically identical cation [Ni(L-H)]+, where L-H is the monoanion resulting from deprotonation of the acetylacetone moiety, a tetradentate N4 ligand forming a square-planar coordination around a Ni(II) ion. It was found that the isothiosemicarbazide fragment of the ligand has an imido form. The complex cations of the compounds [Ni(L-H)]NCS and [Ni(L-H)]I?EtOH exhibit significant difference only in the conformation of their propyl groups.

Stacking interactions in the crystal structures of square-planar transition metal complexes from the Cambridge Structural Database with five- and six-membered chelate rings fused with C6-arom rings (arom = aromatic) were analyzed. The distribution of distances between the closest C6-arom–C6-arom and C6-arom–chelate contacts shows that in a large fraction of the intermolecular interactions the C6-arom ring of one molecule is closer to the chelate than to the C6-arom ring of the other molecule. These results indicate a possible preference of the C6-arom ring to form stacking contacts with the chelate rings. The preference is ubiquitous and does not depend on the metal type.

The crystal structures of dichloridopalladium(II), -platinum(II) and -rhodium(III) complexes containing 8-(diphenylphosphanyl)quinoline, (SP-4)-[PdCl2(C21H16NP)], (1) [systematic name: dichlorido(8-diphenylphosphanylquinoline)palladium(II)], (SP-4)-[PtCl2(C21H16NP)]·CH2Cl2, (2) [systematic name: dichlorido(8-diphenylphosphanylquinoline)platinum(II) dichloromethane monosolvate], and (OC-6–32)-[RhCl2(C21H16NP)2]PF6·0.5CH2Cl2·0.5CH3OH, (3) [systematic name:cis-dichloridobis(8-diphenylphosphanylquinoline)rhodium(III) hexafluoridophosphate dichloromethane/methanol hemisolvate] are reported. In these complexes, the phosphanylquinoline acts as a bidentate ligand, forming a planar asymmetrical five-membered chelate ring. The palladium(II) and platinum(II) complex molecules in (1) and (2), respectively, show a typical square-planar coordination geometry and form a dimeric structure through an intermolecular π–π stacking interaction between the quinolyl rings. The centroid–centroid distances between the stacked six-membered rings in (1) and (2) are 3.633 (2) and 3.644 (2) Å, respectively. The cationic rhodium(III) complex in (3) has acis(Cl),cis(P),cis(N)(OC-6–32) configuration of the ligands, in which two kinds of intramolecular π–π stacking interactions are observed: between the quinolyl and phenyl rings and between two phenyl rings, the centroid–centroid distances being 3.458 (2) and 3.717 (2) Å, respectively. The PF6−anion in (3) is rotationally disordered, the site occupancies of each F atom being 0.613 (14) and 0.387 (14). The CH2Cl2and CH3OH solvent molecules are also disordered and equal site occupancies of 0.5 are assumed.
