The effect of methyl substitution on 15- and 17-membered macrocycles (incorporating N2O2- and N3O2-donors, respectively) on their interaction with cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II), cadmium(II) and lead(II) has been investigated. The results are compared with those obtained for the corresponding complexes of the unsubstituted (parent) rings. Binding constants for the formation of the metal complexes have been determined potentiometrically in 95% methanol (I = 0·1; Et4NClO4). An X-ray crystallographic study of [NiL(H2O)] (ClO4)2 (where L is the dimethyl derivative of a 17-membered, N3O2-donor macrocycle) confirms that the nickel ion is six-coordinate, with the complex cation exhibiting a distorted octahedral geometry defined by all five donor atoms of the O2N3-macrocycle (in its meso form) and the oxygen of the water molecule. In this structure the macrocyclic backbone incorporating the N3-donor fragment is arranged facially. Molecular mechanics modelling of this complex predicts that the observed facial configuration will be favoured over an alternative facial arrangement or a meridional one.

The title complex, [Co(C21H16N4)2][Co(NCS)4]·CH3OH, consists of one [Co{C(py)4}2]2+complex cation [C(py)4= tetrakis(pyridin-2-yl)methane], one [Co(NCS)4]2−complex anion and a methanol solvent molecule. In the cation, the CoIIatom is coordinated by six N atoms of two C(py)4ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the anion, the CoIIatom is coordinated by the N atoms of four NCS−ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The methanol molecule is disordered and was modelled over three orientations (occupancies 0.8:0.1:0.1). There are two weak hydrogen-bond-like interactions between the methanol solvent molecule and NCS−ligands of the anion [O...S = 3.283 (3) and 3.170 (2) Å].

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Co(NO3)(C10H8N2)(H2O)3]Cl, consists of a chloride anion and a complex cation, which is built on a monodentate nitrate anion, three water molecules and one bidentate 2,2′-bipyridine molecule, coordinated to a CoII cation, in a distorted octahedral geometry. The water molecules are arranged in a facial geometry, and serve as donors for hydrogen bonding. Acceptor sites in the crystal are chloride ions and one O atom of the coordinating nitrate ion. A three-dimensional framework is formed, based on O—H...O and O—H...Cl contacts.

The structure of the title compound, [Cr(NCS)2(C2H8N2)2]ClO4, has been determined from synchroton data. The asymmetric unit consists of one half of a centrosymmetric CrIIIcomplex cation and half of a perchlorate anion with the Cl atom on a twofold rotation axis. The CrIIIion is coordinated by the four N atoms of two ethane-1,2-diamine (en) ligands in the equatorial plane and two N-bound thiocyanate (NCS−) anions in atrans-axial arrangement, displaying a slightly distorted octahedral geometry with crystallographic inversion symmetry. The Cr—N(en) bond lengths are in the range 2.053 (16)–2.09 (2) Å, while the Cr—N(thiocyanate) bond length is 1.983 (2) Å. The five-membered en rings are disordered over two sites, with occupancy ratios of 0.522 (16):0.478 (16). Each ClO4−anion is disordered over two sites with equal occupancy. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving the en NH2groups as donors and perchlorate O and thiocyanate S atoms as acceptors.

The structure of the title compound, [Cr(NCS)2(cyclam)]2[ZnCl4] (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, C10H24N4), has been determined from synchrotron data. The asymmetric unit contains two independent halves of the CrIIIcomplex cations and half of a tetrachloridozincate anion. In each complex cation, the CrIIIatom is coordinated by the four N atoms of the cyclam ligand in the equatorial plane and by two N-bound NCS−anions in atransaxial arrangement, displaying a distorted octahedral geometry with crystallographic inversion symmetry. The mean Cr—N(cyclam) and Cr—N(NCS) bond lengths are 2.065 (4) and 1.995 (6) Å, respectively. The macrocyclic cyclam moieties adopt centrosymmetrictrans-III configurations with six- and five-membered chelate rings in chair andgaucheconfigurations, respectively. The [ZnCl4]2−anion, which lies about a twofold rotation axis, has a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The crystal packing is stabilized by hydrogen-bonding interactions between the N—H groups of the cyclam ligands, the S atoms of the NCS−groups and the Cl−ligands of the anion.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, catena-poly[[[(perchlorato-κO)copper(II)]-μ-3-(3-carboxypropyl)-1,5,8,12-tetraaza-3-azoniacyclotetradecane-κ4 N 1,N 5,N 8,N 12] bis(perchlorate)], {[Cu(C13H30N5O2)(ClO4)](ClO4)2} n , (I), consists of a macrocyclic cation, one coordinated perchlorate anion and two perchlorate ions as counter-anions. The metal ion is coordinated in a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry by the four secondary N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand, the mutually trans O atoms of the perchlorate anion and the carbonyl O atom of the protonated carboxylic acid group of a neighbouring cation. The average equatorial Cu—N bond lengths [2.01 (6) Å] are significantly shorter than the axial Cu—O bond lengths [2.379 (8) Å for carboxylate and average 2.62 (7) Å for disordered perchlorate]. The coordinated macrocyclic ligand in (I) adopts the most energetically favourable trans-III conformation with an equatorial orientation of the substituent at the protonated distal 3-position N atom in a six-membered chelate ring. The coordination of the carboxylic acid group of the cation to a neighbouring complex unit results in the formation of infinite chains running along the b-axis direction, which are crosslinked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the secondary amine groups of the macrocycle and O atoms of the perchlorate counter-anions to form sheets lying parallel to the (001) plane. Additionally, the extended structure of (I) is consolidated by numerous intra- and interchain C—H...O contacts.

The structure of the title compound,cis-[CrCl(cycb)(H2O)][ZnCl4]·3H2O (cycbisrac-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane; C16H36N4), has been determined from synchrotron data. In the complex cation, the CrIIIion is bound by four N atoms from the tetradentate cycbligand, a chloride ion and one water molecule in acisarrangement, displaying a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The distorted tetrahedral [ZnCl4]2−anion and three additional water molecules remain outside the coordination sphere. The Cr—N(cycb) bond lengths are in the range of 2.0837 (14) to 2.1399 (12) Å while the Cr—Cl and Cr—(OH2) bond lengths are 2.2940 (8) and 2.0082 (13) Å, respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by hydrogen-bonding interactions between the N—H groups of the macrocyclic ligand, the O—H groups of the water molecules and the Cl atoms of the tetrachloridozincate anion, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ru(C7H6N4)3](PF6)2·3H2O, a novel RuII complex with the bidentate ligand 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyrimidine, comprises a complex cation in the meridional form exclusively, with a distorted octahedral geometry about the ruthenium(II) cation. The Ru—N bonds involving imidazole N atoms are comparatively shorter than the Ru—N bonds from pyrimidine because of the stronger basicity of the imidazole moiety. The three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network involves all species in the lattice with water molecules interacting with both counter-ions and NH hydrogen atoms from the complex. The supramolecular structure of the crystal also shows that two units of the complex bind strongly through a mutual N—H...N bond. The electronic absorption spectrum of the complex displays an asymmetric band at 421 nm, which might point to the presence of two metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) bands. Electrochemical measurements show a quasi-reversible peak referring to the RuIII/RuII reduction at 0.87 V versus Ag/AgCl.

Reaction of Co(BF4)2·6H2O with tris[(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl]amiine in methanol results in a fluoride abstraction from BF4−, yielding the unexpected title compound, [Co2F2(C21H24N4)2](BF4)2. The complex cation consists of two inversion-related [Co(C21H24N4)]2+moieties bridged by a pair of fluoride ligands. The CoIIcation is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry and forms a +II high-spin state. In the crystal, the complex cation and the BF4−anion are connected by C—H...F hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. An intramolecular C—H...F hydrogen bond is also observed.

The structure of the title compound, [Cu(ClO4)2(C16H38N6)] has been determined from synchrotron data, λ = 0.62988 Å. The asymmetric unit comprises one half of the CuIIcomplex as the CuIIcation lies on an inversion center. It is coordinated by the four secondary N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand and the mutuallytransO atoms of the two perchlorate ions in a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry. The average equatorial Cu—N bond length is significantly shorter than the average axial Cu—O bond length [2.010 (4) and 2.569 (1) Å, respectively]. Intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the macrocyclic ligand and uncoordinating O atoms of the perchlorate ligand stabilize the molecular structure. In the crystal structure, an extensive series of intermolecular N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network.

The reaction of (±)-trans-diaminocyclohexane (dach) with copper(ii) sulfate in water resulted in the spontaneous formation of a double complex salt of type [Cu(dach)2(H2O)2][Cu(dach)2(SO4)2]·6H2O, whose X-ray structure confirmed the presence of the same square-planar Cu(dach)22+ coordination motif in both the complex cation and anion. Each copper centre adopts a Jahn–Teller-distorted octahedral geometry. Both axial positions of the metal centre in the complex cation are occupied by water molecules, whereas two monodentate sulfato ions occupy the corresponding sites in the complex anion, leading to a trans N4O2-donor coordination environment in each ion.
