The title lanthanide complexes, [Ln(DAPBH2)(CH3OH)(H2O)3]Cl3·2CH3OH [Ln III = Tb and Dy; DAPBH2 = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(benzoylhydrazone), C23H21N5O2], are isotypic. The central lanthanide ions are nine-coordinate, being ligated by three N and two O atoms from the pentadentate DAPBH2 ligand, and four O atoms from the coordinated methanol molecule and three coordinated water molecules. The coordination geometry of the lanthanide ion is a distorted capped square antiprism. In the crystals, the various components are linked by O—H...Cl, N—H...Cl and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming three-dimensional supramolecular frameworks. Within the frameworks, there are C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and offset π–π interactions (intercentroid distance ca 3.81 Å).

AbstractIrinotecan inhibits cell proliferation and thus is used for the primary treatment of colorectal cancer. Metabolism of irinotecan involves incorporation of β-glucuronic acid to facilitate excretion. During transit of the glucuronidated product through the gastrointestinal tract, an induced upregulation of gut microbial β-glucuronidase (GUS) activity may cause severe diarrhea and thus force many patients to stop treatment. We herein report the development of uronic isofagomine (UIFG) derivatives that act as general, potent inhibitors of bacterial GUSs, especially those of Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens. The best inhibitor, C6-nonyl UIFG, is 23,300-fold more selective for E. coli GUS than for human GUS (Ki = 0.0045 and 105 μM, respectively). Structural evidence indicated that the loss of coordinated water molecules, with the consequent increase in entropy, contributes to the high affinity and selectivity for bacterial GUSs. The inhibitors also effectively reduced irinotecan-induced diarrhea in mice without damaging intestinal epithelial cells.

The title compound, [CdNa2(C8H4O4)2(C3H7NO)(H2O)2]nor [CdNa2(1,3-bdc)2(DMF)(H2O)2]n, is a new CdII–NaIheterobimetallic coordination polymer. The asymmetric unit consists of one CdIIatom, two NaIatoms, two 1,3-bdc ligands, two coordinated water molecules and one coordinated DMF molecule. The CdIIatom exhibits a seven-coordinate geometry, while the NaIatoms can be considered to be pentacoordinate. The metal ions and their symmetry-related equivalents are connectedviachelating–bridging carboxylate groups of the 1,3-bdc ligands to generate a three-dimensional framework. In the crystal, there are classical O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the coordinated water molecules and the 1,3-bdc carboxylate groups and π–π stacking between the benzene rings of the 1,3-bdc ligands present within the frameworks.

In the title polymeric complex, {[Fe(C12H10N2)2(H2O)4](CH3C6H4SO3)2·2CH3OH}n, the FeIIcation, located on an inversion centre, is coordinated by four water molecules in the equatorial positions and two 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethene molecules in the axial positions. This results in a distorted octahedral geometry for the [N2O4] coordination polyhedron. The 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethene molecules bridge the FeIIcations, forming polymeric chains running along thea-axis direction. Stabilization of the crystal structure is provided by O—H...O hydrogen bonds; these are formed by coordinated water molecules as donors towards the O atoms of the methanol molecules and tosylate anions as acceptors of protons, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds are also observed in the crystal.

The title compound, diaqua[tris(2-aminoethyl)amine]nickel(II) hexaaquanickel(II) bis(sulfate), [Ni(C6H18N4)(H2O)2][Ni(H2O)6](SO4)2 or [Ni(tren)(H2O)2][Ni(H2O)6](SO4)2, consists of two octahedral nickel complexes within the same unit cell. These metal complexes are formed from the reaction of [Ni(H2O)6](SO4) and the ligand tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren). The crystals of the title compound are purple, different from those of the starting complex [Ni(H2O)6](SO4), which are turquoise. The reaction was performed both in a 1:1 and 1:2 metal–ligand molar ratio, always yielding the co-precipitation of the two types of crystals. The asymmetric unit of the title compound, which crystallizes in the space group Pnma, consists of two half NiII complexes and a sulfate counter-anion. The mononuclear cationic complex [Ni(tren)(H2O)2]2+ comprises an Ni ion, the tren ligand and two water molecules, while the mononuclear complex [Ni(H2O)6]2+ consists of another Ni ion surrounded by six coordinated water molecules. The [Ni(tren)(H2O)2] and [Ni(H2O)6] subunits are connected to the SO4 2− counter-anions through hydrogen bonding, thus consolidating the crystal structure.

Two new complexes, [Cu(dimpyr)2(H2O)2](NO3)2.2H2O (1) and (Hamdimpy)2[CoCl4].H2O (2), with the monodentate ligand 2-amino-6-methylpyrimidin-4-(1H)-one (dimpyr) and the countercation 4-amino-2,6-dimetylpyrimidium (Hamdimpy), respectively, were prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. In (1), the Cu(II) cation is tetracoordinated, in a square plan fashion, by two nitrogen atoms from the pyrimidine ring of the organic ligand and two oxygen atoms of two coordinated water molecules. In the atomic arrangement, the CuO2N2 square planes are interconnected via the formation of O-H…O hydrogen bonds involving both coordinated and free water molecules and NO3− nitrate anions to form inorganic layers parallel to the (a, b) plane at z = (2n + 1)/4. In (2), the central atom Co(II) is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral fashion by four Cl− ions. The [CoCl4]2− tetrahedra are arranged parallel to the plane (110) at x = (2n + 1)/2 and the organic cations are grafted between them by establishing with them hydrogen bonds of CH…Cl and NH…Cl types. The vibrational absorption bands were identified by infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Intermolecular interactions were investigated via Hirshfeld surfaces and electronic properties such as HOMO and LUMO energies were derived. The two compounds were characterized by thermal analysis to determine their thermal behavior with respect to temperature.

The title compound, {[La2(CH3COO)2(C8H10O4)2(H2O)4]·2H2O}nor [La2(ac)2(e,a-cis-1,4-chdc)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, whereacis acetate and 1,4-chdc is cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate anion, is a binuclear lanthanum(III) complex. Each metal atom is decacoordinated by four O atoms from two distinct 1,4-chdc2−ligands, four O atoms from three acetate groups and two O atoms from coordinated water molecules to form a distorted bicapped square-antiprismatic geometry. Two non-coordinated water molecules are also present in the formula unit. The most remarkable feature of this compound is that it possesses a onlycisconformation for cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid, although the raw material consists of a mixture ofcisandtransisomers. The μ3-η2:η2coordination mode of the bridging acetate group and the flexible dicarboxylate fragments of 1,4-chdc2−results in the formation of infinite two-dimensional lanthanide–carboxylate layers within the crystal structure. The directionality of strong intermolecular O—H...O and weak C—H...O interactions provides robustness to the layers, which leads to the construction of a three-dimensional supramolecular network. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component twin.

Abstract A novel metal-organic complex formulated as [Cd (phen)(dipic) (H2O)2]. 3 H2O (phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline; dipic2−= pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate) has been hydrothermally synthesized at 150°C for 48h. The structure of Cd complex was characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD). The crystal system of Cd complex is monoclinic with space group C 2/c. The pentagonal bipyramid (seven coordinate) around Cd2+ center filled by two terminal water ligands, one 1,10-phenanthroline, and one pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate anion. Extensive O–H···O hydrogen bonding interactions involving all coordinated water molecules, dipicolinate oxygens, and crystallization water molecules further stabilize the complex units by linking them to form three-dimensional polymeric networks. Indeed, quantum mechanical studies were performed to understand effective factors on stability of the Cd(II) complex.
