The Cu(I) complex [Me2Ga(OCH2CH2NMe2)N2C5H7]Cu•PPh3 has been synthesized and its fluxional behavior in solution probed. Attempts have been made to isolate the analogous Cu(I) carbonyl complex. Crystals of [dimethyl(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)(N,N-dimethylethanolamino)gallato (N(2),O,N(3))](triphenylphosphine)copper(I) are monoclinic, a = 18.871(2), b = 9.464(1), c = 18.374(2) Ā, β = 109.62(1)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.028 and Rw = 0.035 for 2729 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The copper atom is bonded to the phosphine and to the tridentate Me2Ga(OCH2CH2NMe2)N2C5H7− ligand resulting in a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The Cu—P distance of 2.156(1) Å is unusually short. Other important bond distances (corrected for libration) are: Cu—O, 2.163(2), Cu—N(pyrazolyl), 2.025(3), Cu—N(amino), 2.144(3), Ga—O, 1.896(3), Ga—N, 2.005(3), and Ga—C, 1.972(5) and 1.987(5) Å.

The room-temperature reaction of Me3Ga with benzimidazole 2-carboxylic acid in xylene solvent has yielded a novel crystalline hexameric gallium compound with "MeGa" moieties bridged by the doubly depronotated ligand precursor. Crystals of [MeGa(4,5-benzimidazolato-2-carboxylato)]6·(C6H6)·(m-Me2C6H4)2 are monoclinic, a = 18.091(2), b = 17.094(2), c = 13.2215(5) Å, Z = 2, space group C2/m. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R (F, I [Formula: see text] 3σ(I)) = 0.064 (Rw (F2, all data) = 0.134). The hexameric Ga complex contains a six-membered ring of Ga atoms, bridged by the benzimidazolate ligands with the benzo rings projecting alternately above and below the Ga plane, thus forming a ball-shaped molecule. The complex could have ideal D3d symmetry, but it contains an encapsulated molecule of benzene, which distorts the regularity of the Ga6 hexagon, and reduces the symmetry of the complex to the crystallographically observed C2h. The coordination geometry at each of the two independent GaO2N2C centres approximates a trigonal bipyramid, with a N2C trigonal plane, and the O atoms above and below; average dimensions are Ga-O = 2.176(2), Ga-N = 1.973(3), Ga-C = 1.927(5) Å, O-Ga-O = 165°. The unit cell also contains four m-xylene solvent molecules (outside the molecular cage).Key words: gallium, crystal structure, benzene intercalate, benzimidazolecarboxylic acid.

The preparation, magnetic properties, electronic and infrared spectra, and molecular structure of poly-bis(μ-diethylphosphinato)copper(II) are described. Crystals of poly-bis(μ-diethylphosphinato)copper(II) are triclinic, a = 7.700(1), b = 9.807(1), c = 10.101(1) Å, α = 90.48(1), β = 104.77(1), γ = 112.21(1)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.025 and Rw = 0.032 for 3491 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The polymeric structure consists of Cu atoms with flattened tetrahedral coordination geometry linked by double phosphinate bridges. Mean bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: Cu—O, 1.924(3), P—O, 1.526(4), and P—C, 1.807(4) Å. Assignment of the electronic spectrum using a crystal field model gives Dq = 1665 cm−1 and Cp = 1800 cm−1. Magnetic susceptibility studies give no evidence for magnetic concentration over the temperature range 80 to 300 K.

The synthesis and characterisation of zinc(II) complex with 2-amino-5-bromopyridine (C5H5BrN2) ligand have been described. The complex was structurally characterised via X-ray crystallography, in the title compound, (2-amino-5-bromopyridinium) [ZnCl¬3(2-amino-5-bromopyridine)] or which is also called (C5H6BrN2) [ZnCl3(C5H5BrN2)]¬. The Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated by three Cl atoms and one imine N-atom of 2-amino-5-bromopyridine ligand, forming a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The complex was also investigated by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, IR spectroscopy and UV-Visible absorption. The protonation behaviour upon coordination is discussed.

A novel and reliable method for the synthesis of polybis(μ-pyrazolato-N,N′)copper(II), [Cu(pz)2]x(where pz = N2C3H3), is presented. Single crystals of the polymer suitable for X-ray study have been grown under carefully controlled conditions. Crystals of polybis(μ-pyrazolato-N,N′)copper(II) are orthorhombic, a = 7.917(1), b = 11.491(2), c = 7.778(1) Å, Z = 4, space group Ibam. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.029 and Rw = 0.038 for 507 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The crystal structure consists of infinite double-bridged polymeric chains. The Cu atom has a D2 distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry with Cu—N = 1.957(2) Å and N—Cu—N = 94.3(1)–139.5(1)°. Magnetic susceptibility studies (4.2 to 299 K) on this material reveal very strong antiferromagnetic exchange between copper(II) centres in the extended linear chains. The magnetic data have been successfully analyzed according to the isotropic Heisenberg model for linear chains with −J = 78 cm−1 and g = 2.12. Keywords: crystal structure, copper(II) pyrazolate chain polymer, antiferromagnetic exchange.

Preparation of the thiophenophane C10H14S4, (L), and syntheses of its copper(I) complex [CuL2]ClO4 or [CuL2]BF4 are described. The 13C and 1H nmr spectra of L and the ir spectra (4000–200 cm−1) of [CuL2]ClO4 and [CuL2]BF4 are reported. The molecular structures of L and [CuL2]ClO4 have been determined. For L: space group P21/a, a = 7.9347(2) Å, b = 18.7479(3) Å, c = 8.8596(2) Å, β = 108.446(2)°, Z = 4, Rf = 0.048, and Rw = 0.034. For [CuL2]ClO4: space group P21/c, a = 9.4363(1) Å, b = 18.2768(3) Å, c = 16.2157(3) Å, β = 96.520(2)°, Z = 4, Rf = 0.056, and Rw = 0.037. The Cu(I) complex has distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry; its perchlorate anion is non-coordinating and disordered. The Cu—S bond lengths lie in the range 2.301–2.392 Å and the S—Cu—S angles in the range 92.43—150.26°. Cyclic voltammetry of [CuL2]ClO4 (10−3 mol/L in dimethylsulfoxide, 0.1 mol/L Et4NClO4, glassy carbon working electrode, platinum counter electrode, aqueous saturated calomel reference electrode against which the ferrocenium/ferrocene potential under similar conditions was 400 mV) shows a quasi-reversible oxidation (E1/2 = 0.150 V, ΔEp = 170 mV at 50 mV/s). Thiophene's effect as a sub-unit in a small macrocycle upon properties of the latter is discussed.

In the title heteroleptic cuprous complex, (acetonitrile-κN)({2-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)phenoxy]phenyl}diphenylphosphane-κ2P,P′)[2-(pyridin-4-yl-κN)-1,3-benzoxazole]copper(I) hexafluoridophosphate, [Cu(C36H28OP2)(CH3CN)(C12H8N2O)]PF6, conventionally abbreviated [Cu(POP)(CH3CN)(4-PBO)]PF6, where POP is the diphosphane ligand {2-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)phenoxy]phenyl}diphenylphosphane and 4-PBO is the N-containing ligand 2-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3-benzoxazole, the asymmetric unit consists of a hexafluoridophosphate anion and a whole mononuclear cation, where the CuIcentre is coordinated by two P atoms from the POP ligand, by one N atom from the 4-PBO ligand and by the N atom of the coordinated acetonitrile molecule, giving rise to a CuP2N2distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The electronic absorption, photoluminescence and thermal stability properties of this complex have been studied on as-synthesized samples, which had previously been examined by powder X-ray diffraction. A yellow emission signal is attributed to an excited state arising from metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT).

The title hydrated complex, [Zn2Cl4(C9H12N4)2]·2H2O, is a discrete dinuclear zinc complex with 1,3-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propane as the bridging ligand. The complex molecule lies about a crystallographic inversion centre. The ZnIIatom exhibits a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry defined by two imidazole N atoms and two Cl atoms. O—H...Cl hydrogen bonding between the lattice water molecules and the terminal Cl atoms of the molecule lead to a two-dimensional structure extending parallel to (100).
