The 4-methylpyridine (4-Mepy) based dimeric copper(II) carboxylate complex [Cu2(C10H19O2)4(C6H7N)2] or [Cu2(μ-O2CC9H19)4(4-Mepy)2] crystallizes with triclinic (P\overline{1}) symmetry. The two CuII ions exhibit a distorted square-pyramidal environment and are connected into a centrosymmetric paddle-wheel dinuclear cluster [Cu...Cu = 2.6472 (8) Å] via four bridging carboxylate ligands arranged in the syn–syn coordination mode. The apical positions around the paddle-wheel copper centers are occupied by the N atoms of the 4-methylpyridine ligands. The structure exhibits disorder of the terminal alkyl carbon atoms in the decanoate chains.

A copper(II) dimer with the deprotonated anion of 2-bromonicotinic acid (2-BrnicH), namely, tetrakis(μ-2-bromonicotinato-κ2 O:O′)bis[aquacopper(II)](Cu—Cu), [Cu2(H2O)2(C6H3BrNO2)4] or [Cu2(H2O)2(2-Brnic)4], (1), was prepared by the reaction of copper(II) chloride dihydrate and 2-bromonicotinic acid in water. The copper(II) ion in 1 has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment, achieved by four carboxylate O atoms in the basal plane and the water molecule in the apical position. The pair of symmetry-related copper(II) ions are connected into a centrosymmetric paddle-wheel dinuclear cluster [Cu...Cu = 2.6470 (11) Å] via four O,O′-bridging 2-bromonicotinate ligands in the syn-syn coordination mode. In the extended structure of 1, the cluster molecules are assembled into an infinite two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network lying parallel to the (001) plane via strong O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of various hydrogen-bond ring motifs: dimeric R 2 2(8) and R 2 2(16) loops and a tetrameric R 4 4(16) loop. The Hirshfeld surface analysis was also performed in order to better illustrate the nature and abundance of the intermolecular contacts in the structure of 1.

In this paper, we present studies on the influence of the disulfide bridge on the copper (II) ions’ binding abilities by the cyclic His4-peptide. The studied ligand HKHPHRHC-S-S-C consists of nine amino acids. The cyclic structure was obtained through a disulfide bridge between two cysteinyl groups. Moreover, this peptide is characterized by the presence of four His residues in the sequence, which makes it an interesting ligand for transition metal ions. The potentiometric and spectroscopic (UV-Vis spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD)) studies were carried out in various molar ligand to metal ratios: 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2, in the pH range of 2.5–11 at 25 °C. The results showed that the cyclic His4-peptide promotes dinuclear complexes in each of these systems and forms the final dinuclear species with the {NIm, 3N-amide}{NIm, 3N-amide} coordination mode. The obtained data shows that cyclization by the formation of the disulfide bond has an impact on the peptide chain flexibility and appearance of additional potential donors for metal ions and influences the copper (II) ions’ coordination.

Treatment of the ortho-triazacyclophane 1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-triene [(C6H5)3(NH)(NCH3)2, L1] with Fe[N(SiMe3)2]2 yields the dimeric iron(II) complex bis(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido)bis[(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido)iron(II)], [Fe(C20H18N3)4] or Fe2(L1)4 (9). Dissolution of 9 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) results in solvation by two THF ligands and the formation of a simpler monoiron complex, namely bis(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido-κN 7)bis(tetrahydrofuran-κO)iron(II), [Fe(C20H18N3)2(C4H8O)2] or (L1)2Fe(THF)2 (10). The reaction is reversible and 10 reverts in vacuo to diiron complex 9. In the structures of both 9 and 10, the monoanionic triazacyclophane ligand L1− is observed in only the less-symmetric saddle conformation. No bowl-shaped crown conformers are observed in the solid state, thus preventing chelating κ3-coordination to the metal as had been proposed earlier based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Instead, the L1− ligands are bound in either a η2-chelating fashion through the amide and one amine donor (for one of the four ligands of 9), or solely through their amide N atoms in an even simpler monodentate η1-coordination mode. Density functional calculations on dimer 9 revealed nearly full cationic charges on each Fe atom and no bonding interaction between the two metal centers, consistent with the relatively long Fe...Fe distance of 2.912 (1) Å observed in the solid state.
