Complexes of the type Pd(tripod)X2 [tripod = MeC(CH2PPh2)3; X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3)] and Pt(tripod)X2 [X = Cl (4), Br (5), I (6)] have been synthesized. In these complexes tripod acts as a bidentate chelating ligand. The uncoordinated phosphorus atom can bind to AuI to form the bimetallic complexes PdAu(tripod)X3 [X = Cl (7), Br (8), I (9)] and PtAu(tripod)X3 [X = Cl (10), Br (11), I (12)]. Complexes (1)–(12) have been characterized by microanalysis, f.a.b. mass spectrometry, i.r. spectroscopy, 31P and 195Pt n.m.r. spectroscopies, and conductivity measurements. The structures of complexes (1), (4) and (11), as well as that of the unusual complex Cl2Pt(tripod)AuBr0.5Cl0.5 (13), isolated from reaction of Pt(tripod)Br2 (5), and [Au(thiodiglycol)Cl], have been determined. All complexes show square-planar geometry for PdII or PtII and linear geometry for AuI. The X-ray crystal structure of (1) showed partial oxidation of the dangling phosphorus of the ligand in 50% of the molecule distributed randomly over the lattice. Reactions of complex (4), Pt(tripod)Cl2, with the tripeptide glutathione (GSH) showed the formation of [Pt2(tripod)2(GS-µ–S)2]2+ (15a). No reaction with N-acetyl-L-methionine (AcMet) or guanosine 5´-monophosphate (5´-GMP) was observed. Reactions of [Pt(tripod–O)(ONO2)2] (14) with GSH resulted in the formation of [Pt2(tripod–O)2(GS-µ-S)2]2+ (15b). Displacement of the S-containing molecules by 5´-GMP in the presence of AuI, via Pt–S bond cleavage, was observed for complex (15b). PtAu(tripod)Cl3 (10) reacted with GSH, with initial attack on the AuI centre.

Stable five-coordinate Pt(II) complexes have been highlighted as a promising and original platform for the development of new cytotoxic drugs. Their interaction with proteins has been scarcely studied. Here, the reactivity of the five-coordinate Pt(II) compound [Pt(I)(Me) (dmphen)(olefin)] (Me = methyl, dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, olefin = dimethylfumarate) with the model proteins hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) and bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) has been investigated by X-ray crystallography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The X-ray structures of the adducts of RNase A and HEWL with [Pt(I)(Me)(dmphen)(olefin)] are not of very high quality, but overall data indicate that, upon reaction with RNase A, the compound coordinates the side chain of His105 upon releasing the iodide ligand, but retains the pentacoordination. On the contrary, upon reaction with HEWL, the trigonal bi-pyramidal Pt geometry is lost, the iodide and the olefin ligands are released, and the metal center coordinates the side chain of His15 probably adopting a nearly square-planar geometry. This work underlines the importance of the combined use of crystallographic and mass spectrometry techniques to characterize, in detail, the protein–metallodrug recognition process. Our findings also suggest that five-coordinate Pt(II) complexes can act either retaining their uncommon structure or functioning as prodrugs, i.e., releasing square-planar platinum complexes as bioactive species.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ag(C24H46N6O2)](NO3)2 [C24H46N6O2 is (5,16-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[16.4.0.07,12]docosane-2,13-diyl)diacetamide, L], consists of one independent half of the [Ag(C24H46N6O2)]2+ cation and one nitrate anion. The Ag atom, lying on an inversion centre, has a square-planar geometry and the complex adopts a stable trans-III conformation. Interestingly, the two O atoms of the pendant acetamide groups are not coordinated to the AgII ion. The longer distance of 2.227 (2) Å for Ag—N(tertiary) compared to 2.134 (2) Å for Ag—N(secondary) may be due to the effects of the attached acetamide group on the tertiary N atom. Two nitrate anions are very weakly bound to the AgII ion in the axial sites and are further connected to the ligand of the cation by N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is stabilized by hydrogen-bonding interactions among the N—H donor groups of the macrocycle and its actetamide substituents, and the O atoms of the nitrate anions and of an acetamide group as the acceptor atoms.

Reaction of [Rh(μ-Cl)(CO)(TXPB)] (1; TXPB = 2,7-di-tert-butyl-5-diphenylboryl-4-diphenylphosphino-9,9-dimethylthioxanthene) with NaBH4 yielded square planar [Rh(μ-H)(CO)(TXPB)] (2) in which the hydride ligand bridges between rhodium and the borane unit of TXPB. The Rh–H, Rh–B, and Rh–Cipso distances are short at 1.84(5), 2.456(6), and 2.568(5) Å, respectively, whereas the B–H bond, 1.59(6) Å, falls at the longer end of the usual range. Compound 2 is compared with the previously reported series of rhodium TXPB complexes: [RhX(CO)(TXPB)] {X = F (3), Cl (1), Br (4), I (5)}. Compound 4 in this series features the only crystallographically characterized example of an M–Br–BR3 interaction, and to expand this area, [NiBr(μ-Br)(TXPB)] (6) was prepared via the reaction of [NiBr2(dme)2] (dme = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) with TXPB. An X-ray crystal structure of light purple 6 revealed a square-planar geometry with a strong B–Br interaction {B–Br = 2.311(6) Å; ∑(C–B–C) = 344.5(7)°}. An 11B NMR chemical shift of 23 ppm was observed for 6, indicating that an appreciable B–Br interaction is maintained in solution. No signals were observed in the 31P{1H} NMR spectrum at room temperature, whereas a broadened 31P signal was observed at −20 °C, evolving into a sharp singlet at −67 °C. This behaviour suggests that at room temperature, square planar 6 exists in equilibrium with a paramagnetic tetrahedral isomer, present at a level below that detectable through Evans magnetic measurements.

A new Cu(II) complex with N-sulfonamide ligand, [Cu(N-(5-(4-methylphenyl)-[1,3,4]-thiadiazole-2-yl)-toluenesulfonamidate)4]((CH3)2NH2+)2(complex) has been synthesized and characterized. The X-ray crystal structure of the complex has been determined. The Cu(II) ion is four-coordinated, forming a CuN4 chromophore. The ligand acts as monodentate, coordinating the metal ion through a single Nthiadiazole atom. The complex has a square planar geometry. The characterization of the complex has been studied by FT-IR, electronic, EPR spectroscopic and magnetic methods.

AbstractThe highly insoluble organic-inorganic hybrid ionic compounds N,N′-methylenedipyridinium tetrachloroplatinate(II) [(C5H5N)2CH2] · [PtCl4] and N,N′-methylenedipyridinium hexachloroplatinate(IV) [(C5H5N)2CH2] · [PtCl6] were obtained by the treatment of N,N′-methylenedipyridinium dichloride monohydrate [(C5H5N)2CH2]Cl2 · H2O with K2[PtCl4] or (NH4)2[PtCl6], respectively, in an aqueous solution. Both complexes were isolated, purified, characterised by elemental analysis, and their molecular structures were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of both compounds consists of separated discrete dications [(C5H5N)2CH2]2+ and anions [PtCln]2− (n = 4 or 6). As anticipated, the dications formed a butterfly shape consisting of two pyridine rings bound to the methylene group via their N atoms, while the Pt centre had a square planar geometry in [(C5H5N)2CH2] · [PtCl4] and an octahedral coordination in [(C5H5N)2CH2] · [PtCl6]. Interestingly, both crystal structures are stabilised by intermolecular C-H…Cl non-standard hydrogen bonds, π-π ring interactions between two pyridine rings of adjacent dications, and also by Cl-π interactions.

N,N′,N″,N‴-Tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide 1 is a pyrophosphoramide with documented butyrylcholinesterase inhibition, a property shared with the more widely studied octamethylphosphoramide (Schradan). Unlike Schradan, 1 is a solid at room temperature making it one of a few known pyrophosphoramide solids. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with that of other previously described solid pyrophosphoramides. The pyrophosphoramide discussed in this study was synthesised by reacting iso-propyl amine with pyrophosphoryl tetrachloride under anhydrous conditions. A unique supramolecular motif was observed when compared with previously published pyrophosphoramide structures having two different intermolecular hydrogen bonding synthons. Furthermore, the potential of a wider variety of supramolecular structures in which similar pyrophosphoramides can crystallise was recognised. Proton (1H) and Phosphorus 31 (31P) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) were carried out to complete the analysis of the compound.

The coordination chemistry of N-(2,6-di-methylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldimine (1) with Cu(II) has been investigated by X-ray crystallography, electronic and EPR spectroscopies, as well as by electro- and magnetochemistry. The title complex 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 (a = 8.1538, b = 17.7466, c =19.8507 Å). The mononuclear square-planar molecules 2 featuring trans-N2O2 coordination are connected via weak intermolecular C-H· · ·π interactions into infinite chains parallel to the a axis. Although the intermolecular Cu· · ·Cu separations within individual chains and between chains are very long (8.154 and 9.726 Å ), the exchange interaction parameter G = 2.03 < 4, estimated from solid state EPR spectra, suggests the existence of long-distance superexchange pathways between adjacent Cu(II) centers. The electronic and electrochemical features of the compound are also discussed.

Single crystals of rubidium tetrafluoridobromate(III), RbBrF4, were grown by melting and recrystallizing RbBrF4 from its melt. This is the first determination of the crystal structure of RbBrF4 using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. We confirmed that the structure contains square-planar [BrF4]− anions and rubidium cations that are coordinated by F atoms in a square-antiprismatic manner. The compound crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type. Atomic coordinates and bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision than in a previous report based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2015). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 641, 2593–2598].
