The alkyl chain carrying ligands N,N-di(pyridin-2-yl)butanamide (LC4) and N,N-di(pyridin-2-yl)decanamide (LC10) were combined with NCS- co-ligands to form the neutral heteroleptic Fe(II) complexes trans-[FeII(LC4)2(NCS)2] (1C4) and trans [FeII(LC10)2(NCS)2] (1C10). Variable temperature crystallographic studies revealed that 1C4 is in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 between 85-200 K whereas 1C10 is in the monoclinic space group P21/c between 85-105 K before undergoing a crystallographic phase transition to the triclinic space group P1􀴤 by 140 K. The average Fe-N bond lengths suggest that at 85 K 1C4 contains LS Fe(II) centres; However, the ca. 0.18 Å increase in the average Fe-N bond lengths between 85 and 120 K suggests a spin-transition occurs within this temperature interval and the HS state is predominant beyond this. 1C10 contains LS Fe(II) centres between 85 and 105 K. Upon warming from 105 to 140 K the average Fe-N bond lengths increase by ca. 0.19 Å, which suggests that a spin-transition to the HS accompanies the P21/c to P1􀴤 crystallographic phase transition. Solid-state magnetic susceptibility measurements showed that 1C4 undergoes semi-abrupt spin-crossover with T1/2 = 127.5 K and a thermal hysteresis of ca. 13 K whereas, 1C10 undergoes an abrupt spin-crossover with T1/2 = 119.0 K, and is also accompanied by thermal hysteresis of ca. 4 K. The crystallographic and magnetic data show that the length of the complex’s alkyl chain substituents can have a large impact on the structure of the crystal lattice as well as a subtle effect on the T1/2 value for thermal spin-crossover.

The crystal structure of barbituric acid dihydrate (C4H4N2O3·2H2O) has twice been reported as orthorhombic, space group Pnma, with all atoms (except for CH2 H atoms) lying on the mirror plane [Al-Karaghouli et al. (1977). Acta Cryst. B33, 1655–1660; Jeffrey et al. (1961). Acta Cryst. 14, 881–887]. The present study has found that at low temperatures, below 200 K, the crystal structure is no longer orthorhombic but is non-merohedrally twinned monoclinic, space group P21/n. This phase is stable down to 100 K. Above 220 K the crystal structure is orthorhombic, and between 200 and 220 K the structure undergoes a phase change, with the monoclinic-to-orthorhombic phase transition itself taking place at around 216–217 K. The size of the β angle in the monoclinic structure is temperature dependent; at 100 K β is around 94° and it decreases in magnitude towards 90° as the temperature increases. Although the hydrogen-bonding motifs are the same for both crystal systems, there are significant differences in the crystal packing, in particular the out-of-plane displacement of the two water molecules and the sp 3-hybridized C atom of barbituric acid.

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.

Iron(II) and nickel(II) bis(ligand) complexes of 6-(5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-2,2′-bipyridine (L) are described. The ligand field in the iron complex is close to that at the singlet ( 1 A1) ? quintet ( 5 T2) crossover and magnetic and Mössbauer spectral evidence indicates that a spin transition occurs in salts of the iron complex but is centred above room temperature. The structures of [FeL2] [CF3SO3]2.CH3CN and [NiL2] [BF4]2.CH3CN were determined and both are very similar to the structures of the corresponding terpyridine complexes. Spectroscopic data indicate that for the iron complex π-interaction between the metal and the ligand is less than that in the terpyridine system. [FeL2] [CF3SO3]2.CH3CN is monoclinic, space group P 21/c; a 8 . 232(5), b 25 . 273(10), c 17 . 306(10) Å, β 92 . 37(3)°, Z 4; [NiL2] [BF4]2.CH3CN is monoclinic, space group P 21/c; a 8 . 136(2), b 17 . 558(2), c 23 . 783(7) Å, β 109 . 32(1)°, Z 4.

AbstractFour new Ln(III)-based coordination polymers (CPs), [Eu(HL)Cl2(DMF)2]·(H2L) (1), [Dy(HL)Cl2(DMF)2]·(H2L) (2), [Er(HL)Cl2(DMF)(CH3OH)]·(DMF) (3) and [Yb(HL)Cl2(DMF)(H2O)]·(DMF) (4) (H2L=2,6-bis[(3-methoxysalicylidene)hydrazinocarbonyl]pyridine) have been synthesized through the reaction of Ln(III) chloride and H2L by using the vapour diffusion method. Interestingly, Cl−as a template agent plays a vital role in the formation of the target complexes. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies indicate that1and2are isostructural and crystallize in triclinic space groupP1̅, while complexes3and4are isostructural and crystallize in monoclinic space groupC2/c. Variable temperature magnetization measurement (χMT–T) demonstrates possible antiferromagnetic interactions in complex2. Alternating-current (ac) susceptibility measurement furthermore indicated frequency dependence for both the in-phase (χ′) and out-of-phase (χ″) components in2, suggesting that there is a slow relaxation behavior of the magnetization, which is typical of single-molecule magnets (SMMs). This is the first time that Ln(III) CPs based on such a dihydrazone ligand has been reported so far.

Tris(ligand)iron(II) complexes of 2-(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (3ppH) and 3-(thiazol-2-yl)pyrazole (3tpH) undergo temperature-induced singlet (1A1) ⇔ quintet (5T2) transitions. The transition in [Fe(3ppH)3] [CF3SO3]2.2H2O is continuous and centred above room temperature while that in the anhydrous triflate salt is discontinuous and is centred below room temperature. The latter transition occurs via a thermal hysteresis loop of width 12 K, Tc↓ and Tc↑ being 229 and 241 K, respectively. The displacement of the transition to lower temperature in the anhydrous salt is believed to be associated with the loss of hydrogen bonding involving the uncoordinated pyrazole >NH group and solvate water. In [Fe(3tpH)2(3tp)] [ClO4].2H2O and [Fe(3tpH)2(3tp)] [BF4].2H2O (3tp is the deprotonated ligand) continuous transitions are observed, centred below room temperature. In these instances the displacement is consistent with the intrinsically weaker field of the bidentate system containing two five-membered heterocycles. Structural data were obtained for [Fe(3ppH)3][CF3SO3]2.2H2O, [Fe(3tpH)3] [BF4]2.1·5H2O and [Ni(3tpH)3] [BF4]2.2(3tpH). The average metal–nitrogen distances in the complexes are 1·97, 2·18 and 2·09 Å, severally. The large difference in the distances for the two iron complexes arises from the different ground states: a singlet for the 3ppH complex and a quintet for the 3tpH complex. In all three salts there is extensive hydrogen bonding involving the pyrazole >NH groups, the anions and the solvate molecules. [Fe(3ppH)3] [CF3SO3]2.2H2O: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a 12·33(1), b 24·44(1), c 12·55(1) Å, β 115·27(4)°, Z 4. [Fe(3tpH)3] [BF4]2.1·5H2O: monoclinic, space group C 2/c, a 41·56(2), b 16·418(3), c 18·154(7) Å, β 106·94(2)°, Z 8.

The structures of [Pt(S2CN(C2H5)2)2] (1) and [Pt(S2CN(C2H4OH)2)2] (2) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Compound (1) crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P42/n, a 16.4692(10),c 6.2160(6) � (Z = 4); R was 0.029 for 1012 observed reflections. Compound (2) is monoclinic, space group Pc, a 6-0663(11), b 1.1784(15), c 12.5740(21) � ,β92.569(8)� (Z = 2); R was 0.019 for 1573 observed reflections. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups in the ligands of (2) appears to have little effect on the Pt-S distances but causes an increase in the C-N bond length, with the C-N bond lengths being significantly different at the 2 σ level.

P3Se4I is formed by the reaction of molten P4Se3 and I2. P3Se4I is monoclinic, space group P21/c with the lattice parameters of a = 1130.3(3) pm, b = 654.5(2) pm, c =1420.5(4) pm, β - 117.64(2)°. d = 3.87 g cm-3 and dx = 3.82 g cm-3 for Z = 4. The structure of the molecule is derived from the structure of α-or β-P4Se3I2 by the substitution of a P−I group by a Se-atom. The P−I, P−P and Se−Se bond lengths are 249.9, 219.2 and 236.9 pm. resp. The mean P−Se bond length is 225.0 pm. The molecule is stabilized by two weak intramolecular P−Se and P−I bonds, comparable to the bonding situation in α-P4Se3I2 . The 31P NMR spectra reveal a coalescence effect, due to equilibrium between two isomeric forms of the molecules.

Abstract The reactions of Mo(CO)6, W(CO)6 and Re(CO)6Br with the ligand l-thia-4,7-diazacyclononane (C6H14N2S = L) yield crystals of LMo(CO)3 (4a), LW(CO)3 (4b) and LRe(CO)3Br (5). A n improved synthesis of L has been developed, and the structures of 4a and 5 have been determined. Crystal data: 4a, monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 791.3(4), b - 1332.6(4), c = 1149.2(6) pm, β - 98.96(4)°, Z = 4.1841 reflexions, R = 0.045. 5, orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 1413.4(5), b = 1398.0(5), c = 1409.5(5) pm, Z = 8.2619 reflexions, R = 0.038. Both crystals contain pseudooctahedral LM(CO)3 moieties, with facial coordination of the CO molecules. The Re - N bond lengths (average 220.3(4) pm) are rather short. The structure of L 'Mo(CO)3 (3) with the acyclic ligand 1,7-diaza-4-thiaheptane (C4H10N2S = L') was also determined. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 682.8(2), b = 1213.0(3), c = 1253.0(3), β = 99.74°, Z = 4.1889 reflexions, R = 0.023.
