Abstract[Ni(C2H5N4O2)2] · HCl · H2O, C4H10N8NiO4 · HCl · H2O, forms triclinic crystals, Mr = 347.36, P1̄, a = 7.219(2), b = 7.316(1), c = 11.797(3) Å, α = 73.89(2), β = 86.37(2), γ = 85.71(2)°, V = 596 Å3 , Z = 2, dc = 1.93 Mgm-3 ; final Rw = 0.028 for 1957 reflections. The planar complex molecules form equidistant stacks along b, with the molecular planes inclined at ~29° to the stacking axis. Molecules of adjacent stacks are linked along a by an intermolecular H bridge coexistins with the usual intramolecular H bridges. The analogous Pt complex, C4H10N8O4Pt · HCl · H2O, Mr = 483.74, a = 6.480(4), b = 16.115(5), c = 12.194(9) Å, β = 101.27(4)°, V = 1249 Å3 , Z = 4, dc = 2.57 Mgm-3 , P21/a, crystallizes in a columnar structure with a Pt-Pt separation of ~a/2 ≈ 3.24 Å. Due to twinning, faking orthorhombic symmetry, a complete structure determination was not possible.

The crystal structures of (2-formyl-6-methoxyphenoxy)acetic acid (1), diaquabis [(2-formyl-6-methoxyphenoxy) acetato ]zinc(11) (2), tetraaquabis [(2-chlorophenoxy) acetato ]zinc(11) (3), triaquabis [(2-chlorophenoxy) acetato ]cadmium(11) dihydrate (4) and lithium (2-chloro- phenoxy )acetate 1.5 hydrate (5) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The acid (1) forms centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [O…0, 2.677(6) �] which are non-planar. Complex (2) is six-coordinate with two waters [Zn- Ow , 1.997(2) �] and four oxygens from two asymmetric bidentate carboxyl groups [Zn-O, 2.073, 2.381(2) �] completing a skew trapezoidal bipyramidal stereochemistry. Complex (5) is also six-coordinate but is octahedral, with two trans-related unidentate carboxyl oxygens [mean Zn-O, 2.134(9) �] and four waters [mean Zn-O, 2.081(9) �]. The seven-coordinate complex (4) has crystallographic twofold rotational symmetry relating two :symmetric bidentate acid ligands [ Cd -O, 2.26, 2 48(:) �] and two waters [ Cd -O, 2.34(2) �] while the third water lies on this axis [ Cd -O, 2.27(2) �]. In contrast to the monomers (2)-(4), complex (5) is polymeric with tetrahedral lithium coordinated to one water and three carboxylate oxygens [mean Li-0, 1.95(1) �]. The essential conformation of the free acid is retained in complexes (2), (3) and (4) but in (5), it is considerably changed.

The study of the far infrared spectral region permits one to distinguish between the pseudo-tetrahedral complexes NiI2L2 (L = R1R2C3S3 where R1 = CH3 and R2 = H, R1 = R2 = CH3, R1 = C4H3S and R2 = H) and the square planar complex NiI2L′2 (L′ = R1R2C3S3 where R1 = C6H5 and R2 = H). The electronic spectra recorded in the solid state confirm the distinction. The displacement of the band νC=S of the molecule 1,2-dithio-1-3-thione which enters the sphere of coordination is more marked in the complexes of cobalt(II) than in the corresponding nickel(II) complexes.
