The crystal structures of the complexes cis-bis(ethane-1,2-diamine)(nitrito-O,O')zinc(II) nitrite and trans-bis[N,N-dimethyl(ethane-l,2-diamine)]dinitritozinc(II) are described. The former compound contains one chelating nitrite, the second group being present as a counter ion. In this complex the coordination polyhedron about the metal ion may be described either as a distorted trigonal bi-pyramid or an octahedron, depending upon whether the chelated nitrite is considered to occupy one or two coordination sites. The second compound is a trans nitrito complex, having an octahedral ligand geometry, though with three markedly different metal-ligand bond lengths. The structures of the complexes are compared with those of analogous nickel(II) nitrite complexes, and the differences are discussed in terms of the electron configurations of the two metal ions.

Transition-metal-bound imidazoles are suitable models for evaluating the roles of metal ions in biomolecules having the imidazole moiety and similar heterocyclic residues as part of their structure. Such studies provide useful insights into metal–biomolecule interactions in biological systems, especially when the lability of the metal–ligand bond is substantially reduced, such that the identity of the metal–ligand complex is preserved during the course of the reaction under investigation. The present paper reports on a kinetic study of tritium exchange from the C(2) position of the imidazole moiety in the substitution-inert complex cations [Co(NH3)5[2-3H]-imidazole]3+ (1) and [Co(NH3)5-1-methyl-[2-3H]-imidazole]3+ (2). Rate–pH profiles have been determined in aqueous solution at 60 °C. Both substrates are believed to react through rate-determining attack of hydroxide ion (kM+ pathway) at C(2)-T. Dissection of the kinetic data reveals an additional pathway for 1 consequent upon deprotonation of its pyrrole-like N-H(T) to yield 3, which is then attacked by hydroxide at C(2) (kM pathway). The ratio kM+/kM = 103 that is obtained is in accord with the expected reduced reactivity of 3. Comparison of the present data with those reported for a variety of heterocyclic substrates shows that the order of reactivity, protonated [Formula: see text] metal ion coordinated [Formula: see text] neutral form of substrates, prevails. The superiority of the proton over metal ions in catalyzing isotopic hydrogen exchange is attributed to its larger ground state acidifying effect coupled with the greater transition state stabilization it affords, relative to metal ions. The exchange reaction of 3 via the kM pathway is the first example of a reactive anionic species in which the negative charge is located α to the exchanging C-H. Keywords: tritium exchange, cobalt (III)-coordinated imidazoles.

155Gd Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of the title complexes have been performed. Although the 155Gd isomer shifts (d) varied scarcely, the quadrupole coupling constants (e2qQ) changed in the range 4.07-4.81 mm s-1. The e2qQ values of KGdM(CN)6 · 3H2O (M = FeII and RuII) are larger than those of GdM(CN)6 · 4H2O (M = CrIII, FeIII, and CoIII), these values increasing with increasing orthorhombic distortion of the crystal structures. A relationship between the e2qQ values and the ionic radii of the transition metal ions has also been recognized

Reactions of [2.2.2]cryptand, 4,7,13,16,21,24-Hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo-[8.8.8]hexacosane, (“cryptand 222”) with cadmium chloride and mercuric chloride yielded crystals of [Cd(cryptand 222)][CdCl4] (1) and [Hg(cryptand 222)][Hg2Cl6] (2). 1 crystallizes tetragonally, space group P42/n, Z = 4, a = 1239.8(2), c = 1801.2(8) pm; 2 is monoclinic, space group P2/n, Z = 2, a = 1060.3(3), b = 955.2(2), c = 1607.0(3) pm. and β = 108.85(2)°. In the cations of both complexes the metal ions are enclosed in the bicyclic ligand and show 8-coordination to its six oxygen and two nitrogen atoms, the coordination polyhedron is a distorted cube for 1 and a bicapped trigonal antiprism for 2. The anion of 2 is dimeric, the two mercury atoms are connected via chlorine bridges with Hg-Cl distances of 258 and 278 pm, the Hg-Cl bond lengths to the two terminal chloro ligands being shorter at 236 and 238 pm.

The preparation of a series of novel compounds of general formula [Ni5L4(NO2)8(OH)2] formed by ethane-1,2-diamine or one of five N-substituted ethane-1,2-diamines (L) is described. The crystal and molecular structures of the ethane-1,2-diamine, N,N'-diethylethane-1,2-diamine and N,N-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine complexes are reported. Each compound contains a planar, pentameric arrangement of nickel(II) ions, linked by bridging hydroxide and nitrite ligands. The details of the nitrite bridges differ among the complexes, causing differences in their electronic and infrared spectra. The structural variations are probably caused by the differing steric requirements of the amine substituents.

The structures of two crystalline modifications of mer -(Pme2Ph)3H-cis-Cl2IrIII, (1), have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Modification (A) is monoclinic, space group P21/c with a 12.635(1), b 30.605(3), c 14.992(2)Ǻ, β 110.01(2)° and Z = 8. Modification (B) is orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a 27.646(3), b 11.366(1), c 17.252(2)Ǻ and Z = 8. The structures were solved by conventional heavy atom techniques and refined by full-matrix least- squares analyses to conventional R values of 0.037 [(A), 8845 independent reflections] and 0.028 [(B), 5291 independent reflections]. Important bond lengths [Ǻ] are Ir -P(trans to Cl ) 2.249(1) av. (A) and 2.234(1) (B), Ir -P(trans to PMe2Ph) 2.339(2) av. (A) and 2.344(1), 2.352(1) (B), Ir-Cl (trans to H) 2.492(2), 2.518(2) (A) and 2.503(1) (B) and Ir-Cl (trans to PMe2Ph)2.452(2) av. (A) and 2.449(1)(B). Differences in chemically equivalent metal- ligand bond lengths emphasize the importance of non-bonded contacts in determining those lengths.
