Two novel mixed ligand complexes with general formula [M2(4,4′-bpy)1.5(CBr2HCOO)6(H2O)2]n (where 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine) were synthesized. Thermal analysis was used to describe a solid intermediate and final products of thermolysis. A coupled TG-MS system was used to monitor principal volatile fragments evolved during pyrolysis. Crystal structures of the complexes were determined. Cationic dinuclear M2 (M(III) = La, Sm) coordination cores were obtained. Both crystal structures are isostructural. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that investigated structures of 1D coordination polymers assembled in ladder-like systems. The central atom replacement resulted in unit cell identity parameter П = 0.0091. Additionally, the isostructurality of the reported La(III) and Sm(III) complexes was revealed using Hirshfeld Surface analysis supported by Enrichment Ratio calculations.

AbstractAlthough thienopyridines attract attention because of their biological activities, they have not been used as ligands in coordination compounds. Thieno[2,3-b]pyridine was prepared by known procedures; by reduction of 2-nitrothiophene, and reaction of the resulting 2-thienyl ammonium salt with malondialdehyde tetramethylacetal in the presence of zinc chloride. The same procedure was used for the preparation of a new derivative, 2-methylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine, starting from 2-methyl-5-nitrothiophene. The thienopyridines were used in the synthesis of coordination compounds. Chlorides, isothiocyanates, acetates, and chloroacetates of copper(II), nickel(II), or cobalt(II) were used as starting salts. The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and FT IR. Structures of the four complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Two new organic–inorganic hybrid compounds, triethylenetetraammonium hexachloridostannate (IV) dichloride dihydrate, (C6H22N4)[SnCl6]Cl2·2H2O, (I), and 1,4-bis(2-ammonioethyl)piperazin-1,4-diium hexachloridostannate (IV) dichloride dihydrate, (C8H24N4)[SnCl6]Cl2·2H2O, (II), have been synthesized from the same starting materials. In each case both the cations and anions are located about inversion centers. Their crystal structures exhibits alternating inorganic and organic stacking sheets in (I) and layers in (II), with Cl− ions and water molecules occupying the space in between. The cohesion of the three-dimensional frameworks are governed by N—H...Cl, N—H...O, C—H...Cl and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface analysis of both crystal structures indicates that the H...Cl/Cl...H contacts exert an important influence on the stabilization of the packing.

Abstract Two new organic–inorganic hybrid materials, based on 1,3-CycloHexaneBis-(Methyl Amine), abbreviated CHBMA, namely (H2CHBMA)ZnCl4·2H2O (CP1) and (H2CHBMA)CdI4·2H2O (CP2), have been synthesized under mild conditions in acidic media and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic techniques (13C NMR, FTIR, RAMAN) and thermal analysis. The crystal structures of the two compounds were solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Both compounds show a 3-dimensional supramolecular structure directed by various interactions between tetrahalidometallate anions (ZnCl42−, CdI42−), water molecule and organic cations (H2CHBMA)2+. For both compounds, the cyclohexane ring of the template cation is in a chair conformation with the methylammonium substituent in the equatorial positions and the two terminal ammonium groups in a cis conformation but with two different orientations (upward for CP1 and downward for CP2) which influences the supramolecular architecture of the two structures. Hirshfeld surface analysis and the associated two-dimensional finger print plots were used to explore and quantify the intermolecular interactions in the crystals.

AbstractThis article covers the structural chemistry of fluoride and mixed-ligand fluoride complexes of gallium(III), discusses more than 140 known crystal structures of anionic fluoride and mixed-ligand fluoride complexes and continues the discussion initiated in previous reviews dedicated to the stereochemistry and structural chemistry of group III–V metals fluoride complexes. Most of these structures have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, but some were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction methods. This paper offers a discussion of the geometry of gallium and outer sphere cation coordination polyhedra, the association of gallium atoms in dimer and polymer formations, types of cation-anion interactions, and their contributions in actual three-dimensional crystal structures. The structural information has been compiled in a single table containing phase compositions and the corresponding standard crystallographic data (such as crystal system, space group, unit cell parameters, number of formula units per cell [Z], reliability factors [R1], Ga-F, and Ga-O bond lengths).

The use of high temperature special ceramics which are usually complex materials based on oxides, nitrides, carbides and borides of silicon and aluminum, is critically dependent on their thermomechanical and other physical properties. The investigations of the phase diagrams, crystal structures and microstructural features are essential for better understanding of the macro-properties. Phase diagrams and crystal structures have been studied mainly by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has contributed to this field to a very limited extent; it has been used more extensively in the study of microstructure, phase transformations and lattice defects. Often only TEM can give solutions to numerous problems in the above fields, since the various phases exist in extremely fine grains and subgrain structures; single crystals of appreciable size are often not available. Examples with some of our experimental results from two multicomponent systems are presented here. The standard ion thinning technique was used for the preparation of thin foil samples, which were then investigated with JEOL 200A and Siemens ELMISKOP 102 (for the lattice resolution work) electron microscopes.

Single crystals of two novel shchurovskyite-related compounds, K2Cu[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (1) and K2.35Cu0.825[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (2), were synthesized by crystallization from gaseous phase and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structures of both compounds are based upon similar Cu-based layers, formed by rods of the [O2Cu6] dimers of oxocentered (OCu4) tetrahedra. The topologies of the layers show both similarities and differences from the shchurovskyite-type layers. The layers are connected in different fashions via additional Cu atoms located in the interlayer, in contrast to shchurovskyite, where the layers are linked by Ca2+ cations. The structures of the shchurovskyite family are characterized using information-based structural complexity measures, which demonstrate that the crystal structure of 1 is the simplest one, whereas that of 2 is the most complex in the family.
