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.

The unsymmetric mixed-donor Nam,Npy,O-ligand N-trans-(2'-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-aminomethylpyridine (pyca, 1) was readily prepared by reaction of an epoxide (cyclohexene oxide) with (2-aminomethyl)pyridine. The ligand forms octahedral bis-tridentate complexes, exemplified with isolation of copper(II), nickel(II), zinc(II), and cobalt(III) compounds; in addition, a square-planar palladium(II) complex with the ligand behaving as bidentate was prepared. The bis-tridentate octahedral complexes may exist in six geometric isomeric forms, and molecular mechanics analysis was employed to predict the most stable isomer for copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(III) complexes. For the copper(II) and cobalt(III) complexes, the predictions match the X-ray crystal structures of the single isomer isolated in each case. Both the copper(II) complex [Cu . 12](ClO4)2 and the cobalt(III) complex [Co . 1 . (1–H)](ClO4)2 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n (no. 14), with a 9.8400(13), b 15.434(2), c 10.0180(13) Å, and β 109.004(2)°, and a 14.162, b 18.583, c 21.596 Å, and β 100.04°, respectively. Both complexes adopt distorted octahedral structures. The copper(II) complex exists as the all-trans-fac isomer with Jahn–Teller elongation of the Cu–O bond [2.3795(19) Å] compared to Cu–Npy [2.040(2) Å] and Cu–Nam [2.024(2) Å] distances. The cobalt(III) complex appears as the cis,cis,trans(Npy) fac isomer, but deprotonation of one of the two alcohol groups leads to all six M–L distances differing: for each of two similar independent complex cations, Co–O [e.g. 1.9123(16), 1.9459(16) Å], Co–Nam [e.g. 1.949(2), 1.968(2) Å], and Co–Npy [e.g. 1.938(2), 1.940(2) Å] vary, with particularly the deprotonated alcohol bond significantly shorter than the protonated bond, despite a strong hydrogen bonding interaction with the protonated alcohol in the partner complex cation in the unit cell.

The title complex salt,trans-anti-[CrBr2(Me2tn)2]ClO4(where Me2tn = 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine, C5H14N2), was prepared and its structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 100 K. The asymmetric unit contains three conformationally similar complex cations and three perchlorate anions. In each complex cation, the CrIIIcentre is coordinated by four N atoms of two chelating Me2tn ligands in the equatorial plane and by two Br atoms in atrans-axial arrangement, to give a distorted octahedral geometry. Interionic contacts are dominated by extensive hydrogen bonding, involving the NH groups of the Me2tn ligand as donors and the anion O atoms or coordinated Br atoms as acceptors, resulting in two-dimensional layers in thebcplane. Ligand field analysis based on the angular overlap model, and IR and electronic spectroscopic properties, are also discussed.

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].

A new copper(II) complex with formulae of [Cu(buobb)2](pic)2, where buobb stands for the ligand of 1,3-bis(1- butylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxopropane and pic represents 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity, IR, UV-Vis spectra measurements, and cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structure of the copper(II) complex has been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The coordination environment around each copper(II) atom can be described as a distorted octahedral geometry. The π-π stacking interactions link the copper(II) complex into a 1D infinite network. The interactions of the ligand and the copper(II) complex with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) are investigated by using electronic absorption titration, ethidium bromide-DNA displacement experiments, and viscosity measurements. Additionally, the copper(II) complex’s antioxidant properties have been investigated in vitro.

The complex cation of the title compound, [Co(CO3)(C10H8N2)2]2(C12H10N2O6)·6H2O, contains a CoIIIatom with a distorted octahedral coordination environment formed by four N atoms from two bidentate 2,2′-bipyridine ligands and one bidentate carbonate anion. The asymmetric unit is completed by one-half of the 2-({4-[(carboxylatomethyl)carbamoyl]phenyl}formamido)acetate dianion, which is located on a centre of inversion, and by three water molecules. Two [Co(CO3)(C10H8N2)2]+cations are connected through C—H...O contacts by the uncoordinating anions. The aromatic rings of the 2,2′-bipyridine ligands and diacetate anions are involved in π–π stacking and C—H...π interactions. The centroid–centroid distances are in the range 3.4898 (4)–3.6384 (5) Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by further O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds, which give rise to a three-dimensional supramolecular network.

Two noble metal complexes involving ancillary chloride ligands and chelating 2,2′-bipyridylamine (Hdpa) or its deprotonated derivative (dpa), namely [bis(pyridin-2-yl-κN)amine]tetrachloridoplatinum(IV), [PtCl4(C10H9N3)], and [bis(pyridin-2-yl-κN)aminido]dichloridogold(III), [AuCl2(C10H8N3)], are presented and structurally characterized. The metal atom in the former has a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment, formed by four chloride ligands and two pyridyl N atoms of Hdpa, while the metal atom in the latter has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment, formed by two chloride ligands and two pyridyl N atoms of dpa. The difference in conjugation between the pyridine rings in normal and deprotonated 2,2′-dipyridylamine is discussed on the basis of the structural features of these complexes. The influence of weak interactions on the supramolecular structures of the complexes, providing one-dimensional chains of [PtCl4(C10H9N3)] and dimers of [AuCl2(C10H8N3)], are discussed.
