The crystal structures of five new transition-metal complexes synthesized using thiazole-2-carboxylic acid (2-Htza), imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (2-H2ima) or 1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylic acid (4-Hoxa), namely diaquabis(thiazole-2-carboxylato-κ2 N,O)cobalt(II), [Co(C4H2NO2S)2(H2O)2], 1, diaquabis(thiazole-2-carboxylato-κ2 N,O)nickel(II), [Ni(C4H2NO2S)2(H2O)2], 2, diaquabis(thiazole-2-carboxylato-κ2 N,O)cadmium(II), [Cd(C4H2NO2S)2(H2O)2], 3, diaquabis(1H-imidazole-2-carboxylato-κ2 N 3,O)cobalt(II), [Co(C4H2N2O2)2(H2O)2], 4, and diaquabis(1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylato-κ2 N,O 4)cobalt(II), [Co(C4H2NO3)2(H2O)2], 5, are reported. The influence of the nature of the heteroatom and the position of the carboxyl group in relation to the heteroatom on the self-assembly process are discussed based upon Hirshfeld surface analysis and used to explain the observed differences in the single-crystal structures and the supramolecular frameworks and topologies of complexes 1–5.

Three series of lanthanide coordination polymers have been synthesized. The structural difference may be derived from the lanthanide contraction. Moreover, we also discussed the size-selective catalytic activity towards cyanosilylation of aldehydes.

Pyrazole (pz)-derived ligands can, besides exhibiting a strong coordination ability toward different metal ions, exhibit a great diversity in their coordination geometry and nuclearity, which can be achieved by varying the type and position of the pz substituents. The present study reports the synthesis and crystal structure of two binuclear complexes, namely bis(μ-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-ide-5-carboxylato)-κ3 N 1,O:N 2;κ3 N 2:N 1,O-bis[aqua(dimethylformamide-κO)copper(II)], [Cu2(C4HN3O4)2(C3H7NO)2(H2O)2], (II), and bis(μ-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-ide-5-carboxylato)-κ2 N 1,O:N 2;κ2 N 2:N 1,O-bis[triaquacobalt(II)] dihydrate, [Co2(C4HN3O4)2(H2O)6]·2H2O, (III). These compounds represent rare examples of metal complexes comprising 3,4-substituted pz derivatives as a bridging ligand and also the first crystal structures of transition-metal complexes with ligands derived from 4-nitropyrazole-3-carboxylic acid. Recently, the crystal structures of the same ligand in the neutral and mixed neutral/anionic forms have been reported. We present here the third form of this ligand, where it is present in a fully deprotonated anionic form within a salt, i.e. ammonium 4-nitropyrazole-3-carboxylate, NH4 +·C4H2N3O4 −, (I). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that in the present complexes, the CuII and CoII centres adopt distorted square-pyramidal and octahedral geometries, respectively. In both cases, the N,N′,O-coordinated pz ligand shows simultaneously chelating and bridging coordination modes, leading to the formation of a nearly planar six-membered M 2N4 metallocycle. In all three crystal structures, the supramolecular arrangement is controlled by strong hydrogen bonds which primarily engage the carboxylate O atoms as acceptors, while the nitro group adopts the role of an acceptor only in structures with an increased number of donors, as is the case with CoII complex (III). The electrostatic potential, as a descriptor of reactivity, was also calculated in order to examine the changes in ligand electrostatic preferences upon coordination to metal ions.

The crystal structures of six planar chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors and one NHC–Rh complex derived from [2.2]paracyclophane were described. The NHC–metal complexes were prepared to examine their catalytic activities toward the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric addition of phenylboronic acid to 1-naphthaldehyde. The results were correlated to the single-crystal crystallographic studies. The novel NHC precursor 5 can achieve high catalytic activity in the asymmetric addition of phenylboronic acid to 1-naphthaldehyde.
