MII (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) complexes with a chromone-derived neutral ligand: synthesis, structural characterization, photocatalytic and mycobacterial activity studies

The reaction of 2-(2-furyl)-3-hydroxychromone and nicotinoyl chloride produces a neutral ligand (L) which has nitrogen and oxygen donor atoms. Evidence of L polymorphism is discussed. The new molecule showed fluorescence...

Synthesis, Magnetic Property and Assembly Studies of Two Cu(II) Complexes Based on o-phenanthroline and Phosphate

Using newly precipitated Cu(OH)2, o-phenanthroline and phosphoric acid as raw materials, two complicated Cu(II) compounds were obtained by one-pot method. They are double-nuclear Cu(II) 1, {[Cu2(phen)2(H2PO4)3][Cu2(phen)2(H2O)(H2PO4)3]}·2H2PO4·5H2O, and mononuclear Cu(II) 2, [Cu(phen)2(H2PO4)]4·4H3PO4·2HPO4·6H2O. The crystal structure analysis showed that the copper phosphate reacted with the neutral ligand o-phenanthroline to obtain the compounds with different structures. Phosphoric acid can exist in various forms in copper complexes, such as H3PO4, (H2PO4)1-, (HPO4)2-, and form a rich and colorful supramolecular interaction with water molecules. Hirschfeld surface analysis gives the types and regions of molecular interactions in crystals. It is of scientific significance to understand the reaction between transition metal phosphate and organic neutral ligand. The thermogravimetric and magnetic properties of compounds 1 and 2 were also reported. Magnetic analysis shows that supramolecular interactions and dipole-dipole interactions have great influence on the magnetic properties of two compounds. CCDC: 20565681 for 1; 2090334 for 2.

Induction of Λ-helicity in a zinc complex with an alanine-appended aminopyridine ligand

The crystal structure of tris[dimethyl 5-({1-[(pyridin-2-yl-κN)carbamoyl-κO]ethyl}carbamoyl)benzene-1,3-dicarboxylate]zinc(II) dinitrate acetonitrile trisolvate, [Zn(C19H19N3O6)3](NO3)2·3CH3CN or [Zn(L)3](NO3)2·3CH3CN, (1), has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The neutral ligand L coordinates to the Zn2+ cation in a bidentate fashion via the pyridine N atom and an amide O atom, forming a six-membered chelate ring. The Λ-helical chirality of the Zn2+ coordination sphere is induced by pendant L-alanine residues through stacking interactions between the arene groups of two coordinated ligands, assisted by a hydrogen bond between amide groups bonded to the stacked arene rings. The third ligand is coordinated to the Zn2+ cation by the same six-membered chelate ring, but in the opposite direction with respect to the analogous chelate rings of the first two coordinated ligands. Besides ionic interactions between [ZnL 3]2+ complexes and NO3 − anions, several types of hydrogen bonds and intermolecular stacking interactions contribute to the stability of the solid-state phase.

catena-Poly[[bis(1H-indole-5-carboxylato-κ2 O,O′)zinc(II)]-μ-4,4′-azobipyridine-κ2 N 1:N 1′]

The asymmetric unit of the title coordination polymer [Zn(C9H6NO2)2(C10H8N4)] n , consists of one ZnII cation, one bidentate 1H-indole-5-carboxylate (I5C) anion and half of a 4,4′-azobipyridine (Abpy) neutral ligand. In the coordination polyhedron, the ZnII ion adopts a distorted octahedral geometry. The coordination polymer is stabilized by a combination of N—H...O and C—H...π interactions, which leads to the formation of wave-like two-dimensional coordination polymeric layers.

Reactivity of a T-Shaped Cobalt(I) Pincer-Complex

The reactivity of a paramagnetic T-shaped cobalt(I) complex, [(iPrboxmi)Co], stabilised by a monoanionic bis(oxazolinylmethylidene)-isoindolate (boxmi) NNN pincer ligand is described. The exposure to carbon monoxide as additional neutral ligand resulted...
