Cluster analysis is shown to be an effective method to analyse and classify metal coordination geometry in a very large number of four-coordinate bis-salicylaldimato (or bis-β-iminoketonate) transition-metal complexes available in the Cambridge Structural Database. The methods described require no prior knowledge of chemistry to be input; retrieved structures are automatically clustered into groups based purely on the geometric similarity of the fragments and these groupings can then be interpreted by the structural chemist.

An analysis of the [M(bpy)3]n+ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) complexes with halide counterions in the Cambridge Structural Database reveals a common structural motif in two thirds of the compounds. This interaction involves the formation of 12 short C–H…X contacts between halide ions lying within sheets of the cations and H-3 and H-3′ of six [M(bpy)3]n+ complex cations. A second motif, also involving 12 short contacts, but with H-6 and H-5, is identified between halide ions lying between sheets of the [M(bpy)3]n+ cations.

Cu Complexes

The structures are described of two bis-chelated metal complexes of nickel(II) and copper(II) with S-n-hexyl 3-(1-phenylethylidene)dithiocarbazate Schiff bases in a cis configuration, namely, bis[S-n-hexyl 3-(1-phenylethylidene)dithiocarbazato-κ2 N 3,S]nickel(II), [Ni(C15H21N2S2)2], and bis[S-n-hexyl 3-(1-phenylethylidene)dithiocarbazato-κ2 N 3,S]copper(II), [Cu(C15H21N2S2)2]. In both complexes, the metals have distorted square-planar geometries. A search in the Cambridge Structural Database [Groom et al. (2016). Acta Cryst. B72, 171–179] for bis-chelated nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with similar Schiff bases retrieved 55 and 36 hits for the two metals, respectively. An analysis of the geometrical parameters of complexes showing cis and trans configurations is reported and the values compared with those for the complexes described in this work.

Title compound is triclinic, Mr = 461.60; P1, a = 9.158(1), b = 16.062(3), c = 19.472(3) Å, α = 110.69(1)°, β = 89.70(1)°, γ = 103.17(1)°, V = 2 600(1) Å3, Z = 4, Do = 1.15(3), Dc = 1.179(1) Mg m-3, λ(CuKα) = 1.5418 Å, μ = 0.509 mm-1, F(000) = 976 K, R = 0.040 for 8 059 unique observed reflections. Both symmetrically independent molecules show a different geometry of the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring: either the boat conformation with apexes C(sp3), N and boat angles 14.7(3)° and 10.3(2)° respectively, or the planar conformation. The conformation has been compared with similar dihydropyridines obtained from Cambridge Structural Database.

Molecular Dimensions

Applications of the data in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) to knowledge acquisition and fundamental research in molecular inorganic chemistry are reviewed. Various classes of application are identified, including the derivation of typical molecular dimensions and their variability and transferability, the derivation and testing of theories of molecular structure and bonding, the identification of reaction paths and related conformational analyses based on the structure correlation hypothesis, and the identification of common and presumably energetically favourable intermolecular interactions. In many of these areas, the availability of plentiful structural data from the CSD is set against the emergence of high-quality computational data on the geometry and energy of inorganic complexes.
