The structures of [(py)2CdFe(CO)4]3 and {(THF)5[CdFe(CO)4]3} have been determined (py = pyridine; THF = tetrahydrofuran). Each is composed of a six-membered ring having alternating cadmium and iron centers. The presence of the more strongly basic amine ligands in the former led to a greater contribution of an ionic resonance form, which resulted in overall longer Cd–Fe bonds and a greater contribution of a bicapped tetrahedral coordination geometry about iron. Thus, the Cd–Fe distances range from 2.5679(4) to 2.6501(1) Å for the THF complex versus 2.6445(8) to 2.6833(7) Å for the py complex. Similarly, the Fe–Cd–Fe and Cd–Fe–Cd angles for the THF complex fell in respective ranges of 139.03(2)–157.27(2)° and 84.41(1)–99.79(1)°, as compared to 135.31(3)–139.51(4)° and 102.52(3)–104.62(4)° for the py complex. The space group for the former compound is Pbcn, with a = 12.2678(2), b = 22.4601(5), and c = 17.0039(4) Å, while for the THF complex, the space group is P21/c, with a = 10.7297(2), b = 20.4961(2), c = 18.7464(3) Å, and β = 94.2715(6)°.

A series of anionic pyrazolyl-bridged nickel nitrosyl complexes, M+[(ON)Ni(μ-L2)(μ-X)Ni(NO)]− (where L = pyrazolyl, N2C3H3, or 3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl, N2C5H7; X = Cl, Br, I, or N2C5H7; and M = Na, (CH3)4N, or (C2H5)4N) is described. Crystallographic analyses have been carried out on two of these complexes. Crystals of [(C2H5)4N]+[(ON)Ni(μ-I)(μ- N2C5H7)2Ni(NO)]− are orthorhombic, a = 19.910(1), b = 14.0330(7), c = 9.3195(9) Å, Z = 4, space group Pn21a and crystals of [(C4H8O)2Na][(ON)Ni(μ-N2C5 H7)3Ni(NO)] are orthorhombic, a = 19.897(2), b = 19.529(3), c = 15.894(2) Å, Z = 8, space group Pbca. Both structures were solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.027 and 0.057 for 2572 and 2168 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I) respectively. The structure of [(C2H5)4N]+[(ON)Ni(μ-I)(μ-N2C5H7)2Ni(NO)]− consists of discrete cations and binuclear anions which have approximate C2v symmetry. The nickel atoms have distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. Important mean molecular dimensions (distances corrected for libration) are: Ni—I—Ni, 73.67(2)°, Ni—I, 2.765(3), Ni—NO, 1.649(5), Ni—N(pyrazolyl), 1.980(14) Å, and Ni—N—O, 172.5(18)°. The structure of [(C4H8O)2Na][(ON)Ni(μ-N2C5 H7)3Ni(NO)] consists of discrete ion-pair units in which the two NiNO moieties are bridged by three N2C5H7 ligands, two of which are coordinated to the sodium ion via a novel η2(N,N) π-interaction (mean Na—N = 2.61(3) Å). The sodium is also coordinated to two tetrahydrofuran oxygen atoms to give a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry about the sodium (Na—O = 2.301(6) and 2.266(5) Å). Except for disordered tetrahydrofuran carbon atoms, the molecular unit has approximate C2v symmetry. The nickel atoms have distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, the mean distances being Ni—NO, 1.591(6), Ni—N(pyrazolyl), 1.985(2) for the unique pyrazolyl group and 2.016(5) Å for the pyrazolyl nitrogen atoms coordinated to Na. The mean Ni—N—O angle is 176.9(11)°.

Preparation of the thiophenophane C10H14S4, (L), and syntheses of its copper(I) complex [CuL2]ClO4 or [CuL2]BF4 are described. The 13C and 1H nmr spectra of L and the ir spectra (4000–200 cm−1) of [CuL2]ClO4 and [CuL2]BF4 are reported. The molecular structures of L and [CuL2]ClO4 have been determined. For L: space group P21/a, a = 7.9347(2) Å, b = 18.7479(3) Å, c = 8.8596(2) Å, β = 108.446(2)°, Z = 4, Rf = 0.048, and Rw = 0.034. For [CuL2]ClO4: space group P21/c, a = 9.4363(1) Å, b = 18.2768(3) Å, c = 16.2157(3) Å, β = 96.520(2)°, Z = 4, Rf = 0.056, and Rw = 0.037. The Cu(I) complex has distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry; its perchlorate anion is non-coordinating and disordered. The Cu—S bond lengths lie in the range 2.301–2.392 Å and the S—Cu—S angles in the range 92.43—150.26°. Cyclic voltammetry of [CuL2]ClO4 (10−3 mol/L in dimethylsulfoxide, 0.1 mol/L Et4NClO4, glassy carbon working electrode, platinum counter electrode, aqueous saturated calomel reference electrode against which the ferrocenium/ferrocene potential under similar conditions was 400 mV) shows a quasi-reversible oxidation (E1/2 = 0.150 V, ΔEp = 170 mV at 50 mV/s). Thiophene's effect as a sub-unit in a small macrocycle upon properties of the latter is discussed.

Zinc metal reacts with excess 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (Hdmpz) in the presence of O2 to produce materials of composition Zn(dmpz)2(Hdmpz)y. Thermolysis of these materials results in the loss of Hdmpz and the formation of the [Zn(dmpz)2]x polymer. Under appropriate conditions the pure dimer [Zn2(dmpz)4(Hdmpz)2] can be obtained in high yield. Crystals of bis[μ-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl-N1,N2)]bis[(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)(3,5-dimethylpyrazole)zinc(II)] are orthorhombic, a = 17.009(2), b = 29.239(2), c = 13.590(2) Å, Z = 8, space group Fddd. The structure was solved by heavy atom methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.037 and Rw = 0.042 for 913 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure of [Zn2(dmpz)4(Hdmpz)2] contains nearly planar doubly dmpz bridged Zn2 units capped at each end by strongly hydrogen-bonded [Formula: see text] units. The zinc atoms display pseudotetrahedral coordination geometry with Zn—N = 1.991(3) (bridging) and 2.025(3) Å (terminal), and N—Zn—N = 99.6(2)–113.8(2)°. Keywords: zinc 3,5-dimethylpyrazolate complexes, crystal structure.

Rhodium complexes of the phosphorus—sulfur ligands, 2-diphenylphosphinoethyl methyl sulfide (MeSP), 1, and 2-diphenylphosphinothiophene (PTH), 2, have been prepared and studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. [Rh(MeSP)2]BF4•H2O, 3, crystallizes in the space group P21/n with a = 16.939(6) Å, b = 17.152(5) Å, c = 12.049(9) Å, β = 106.50(4)°, and Z = 4. The MeSP ligands chelate to Rh yielding a distorted square-planar geometry. The disposition of the methyl groups on the cis sulfur atoms is transoid. Average Rh—P and Rh—S bond distances were found to be 2.225(3) and 2.347(3) Å, respectively. [Rh(PTH)2(COD)]BF4, 4, crystallizes in the space group Cc with a = 15.862(2) Å, b = 15.112(3) Å, c = 16.029(3) Å, β = 103.32(1)°, and Z = 4. The Rh atom in 4 also has essentially a square-planar coordination geometry. 2 does not chelate but rather is monohapto through phosphorus. Rh—P distances of 2.319(3) and 2.378(3) Å and Rh—C distances of 2.17(1), 2.22(1), 2.24(1), and 2.27(1) Å were found. The small variations in the Rh—P and Rh—C bonds distances appear to be a result of steric interactions between 2 and the COD ligand.

Two new saccharinato-silver(I) (sac) complexes, [Ag(sac)(ampy)] (1), and [Ag2(sac)2(μ-aepy)2] (2), [ampy = 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine, aepy = 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine], have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c and triclinic space group P1̄, respectively. The silver(I) ions in both complexes 1 and 2 exhibit a distorted T-shaped AgN3 coordination geometry. 1 consists of individual molecules connected into chains by N-H···O hydrogen bonds. There are two crystallographically distinct dimers in the unit cell of 2 and in each dimer, the aepy ligands act as a bridge between two silver(I) centers, resulting in short argentophilic contacts [Ag1···Ag1 = 3.0199(4) Å and Ag2···Ag2 = 2.9894(4) Å ]. Symmetry equivalent dimers of 2 are connected by N-H···O hydrogen bonds into chains, which are further linked by aromatic π(py)···π(py) stacking interactions into sheets.

Crystals of (salicylaldoximato-O,N)diphenylboron are triclinic, a = 10.125(2), b = 10.797(1), c = 14.760(2) Å, α = 89.05(1), β = 86.98(1), γ = 83.18(1)°, Z = 4, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.040 and Rw = 0.048 for4145 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of two crystallographically independent, but essentially identical, molecules linked by strong [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds to form continuous spirals along the a axis. The Ph2B moiety is chelated by the phenolic oxygen and oxime nitrogen atoms of the ligand resulting in the formation of a non-planar six-membered chelate ring. Important libration-corrected mean bond lengths are O—B = 1.516(1), N—B = 1.609(2), and C—B = 1.613(2) Å.

The title hydrated complex, [Zn2Cl4(C9H12N4)2]·2H2O, is a discrete dinuclear zinc complex with 1,3-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propane as the bridging ligand. The complex molecule lies about a crystallographic inversion centre. The ZnIIatom exhibits a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry defined by two imidazole N atoms and two Cl atoms. O—H...Cl hydrogen bonding between the lattice water molecules and the terminal Cl atoms of the molecule lead to a two-dimensional structure extending parallel to (100).
