Abstract: This work describes the synthesis and characterization of two Pd(II) complexes [(3,5-Hdmpz)2Pd2(μ-3,5-dmpz)2(2,6-dipic)] (1) and [Na2(H2O)4Pd(2,6-dipic)2] (2) (3,5-Hdmpz=3,5-dimethylpyrazole and 2,6-dipic=2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate). The X-ray molecular structure determination shows that 1 is a binuclear complex bridged by two 3,5-dmpz units and is completely unsymmetric since one palladium atom contains two protonated 3,5-Hdmpz ligands and the other one contains the 2,6-dipic2− unit that coordinates in a bidentate fashion. The central six-member Pd2N4 core shows a boat-like conformation where the palladium atoms are positioned at the vertices of the boat. The molecules are assembled in an extended zigzag one-dimensional network formed through 3,5-Hdmpz-carboxylate (2,6-dipic2−) hydrogen bonds. The packing of complex 2 is constructed of cationic Na+–H2O and anionic Pd-2,6-dipic2− units joined together to form an extended two dimensional network. Alternate short and long Na–Na distances are observed in the cationic layer. A detailed quantum-chemical calculation on the Na-chains in 2 has been made. Complex 1 shows a luminescence property and antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Aspergillus niger where the MIC has been found to be 100μg/mL for all three species.

Abstract: Two hydrogen-bonded palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes, [Pd(Hida)2] (1) and [Pt(Hida)2] (2) (Hida− =iminodiacetate), have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Hida− serves as a bidentate ligand coordinating to both Pd(II) and Pt(II) through its nitrogen and oxygen atom, exhibiting a square planar geometry with a trans configuration. The uncoordinated carboxylic group and the imino group of the ligand are involved in strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding to form a two dimensional layered network in both the complexes. The network is propagated along the ac-plane and stacks orthogonally to the b-axis. The thermogravimetric analyses for complexes 1 and 2 reveal stepwise decomposition processes indicating the probable decarboxylation of the free and bonded carboxylates. As there are two types of hydrogen bonding (N–H⋯O, O–H⋯O) present in both the complexes, two endothermic peaks regarding heat change are evident from their DSC diagrams. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Cations and anions of the title compound {systematic name: 1-[4-(amino­carbonyl)butyl]guanidinium bis­(hydrogen­squarate)}, C6H17N5O2+·2C4HO4−, are connected into a three-dimensional network by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between thel-argininamidium ammonium, amide and guanidinium functions and the hydrogensquarate carbonyl O atoms. The independent hydrogensquarate monoanions are linked into dimers by pairs of O—H⋯O′ hydrogen bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We report the synthesis, spectroscopic and structural elucidation of two prolinamide derivatives of squaric acid, i.e. prolinamide ester amide of squaric acid ethyl ester (1) and prolinamide diamide of squaric acid dihydrate (2). Both compounds crystallize in non-centrosymmetric space groups, monoclinic P21 (1) and orthorhombic P212121 (2), respectively. For first time in the literature the crystal structure of homodiamide of amino acid amide of squaric acid is reported. The data for heterodiamides is also absent. Supramolecular zig-zag chains by hydrogen bonds of H2N–C=O⋯HNH (3.020 Å) and HNH⋯O=C(Sq) (2.972 Å) types with the participation of amide and squaric acid (Sq) fragments, –C=O–NH2 and O=C(Sq) are refined in (1). A helix supramolecular structure is formed in (2) by moderate intermolecular HNH⋯O=C(NH2) hydrogen bond with length of 2.947 Å. The two crystallographical non-equivalent water molecules stabilized the helix by interactions of types HOH⋯O=C(Sq) (2.917 Å), HOH⋯O=C(NH2) (2.899 Å), H2O⋯NH2(C=O) (2.972 Å), respectively. Optical and magnetic properties are investigated with a view to explain the correlation structure-properties of the newly synthesized molecules. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: This work describes the synthesis and X-ray crystallographic characterization of three nickel(II) complexes [Ni(3,2,3-tet){Ag(CN)2}2] (1), [Ni(3,2,3-tet)(μ-tp)] n ·1.5nH2O (2) and {[Ni(3,2,3-tet)(μ1,5-dca)](ClO4)} n (3) where 3,2,3-tet= N,N′-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,2-ethylenediamine, tp=terephthalate and dca=dicyanamide. Compound 1 is a heterotrinuclear discrete distorted octahedral molecule whereas compound 2 forms a 1D polymeric network and an extended 2D network is formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Interestingly, two adjacent 1D chains execute a novel double-helical network constructed by Ni(II) and the bridging dca ligand in compound 3. The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements for compounds 2 and 3 were also carried out. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: (E)-4-(Hydroxyiminomethyl)-pyridinium hydrogenoxalate (1) and bis((E)-4-(hydroxyiminomethyl)-pyridinium) squarate (2) were synthesized and their crystal structures determined by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structures of (1) and (2) consist of infinite layers and chains, respectively, formed by (1): N–H···O (2.852(2), 2.827(2)Å) and O–H···O (2.665(2)Å) and (2): N–H···O (2.620(2)Å) and O–H···O (2.600(1)Å) intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the cations and anions. Hydrogenoxalate ions form chains within the infinite layers by strong interanionic O–H···O interactions (2.583(2)Å). Antiperiplanar conformations of the cations for (1) and (2) (CCOH) dihedral angle of 178.9(1)° (1) and 179.4(1)° (2) are observed. Spectroscopic properties both in solution and in the solid state were elucidated by means of 1H- and 13C-NMR, UV-spectroscopy and conventional and linear polarized IR- (IR-LD) spectroscopy. Quantum chemical calculations at the DFT, MP2 and CIS level of theory and the 6-31++G∗∗ basis set were employed for predicting and supporting experimentally observed optical propertied and electronic structures of the protonated (E)-4-(hydroxyiminomethyl)-pyridine.

Abstract: The title compound was synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and solid-state polarized IR-spectroscopy of oriented colloids in a nematic host. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c and its structure consists of a 3D supramolecular network of tyrammonium cations, water and sulfate anions directed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. Two non-equivalent tyrammonium cations are observed with pseudo T and T trans configurations, respectively. The vibrational characteristics of the non-equivalent molecules are assigned using solid-state polarized IR-spectroscopy. The structural and spectroscopic data are compared with theoretical calculations at the MP2/6-31++G∗ level of theory and basis set using the tyrammonium cation heptahydrate as a model system.

Abstract: The novel, 1-methyl-4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]pyridinium dihydrogenphosphate salt was synthesized and its structure and properties elucidated spectroscopically, thermally and structurally, using single crystal X-ray diffraction, linear-polarized solid-state IR spectroscopy (IR-LD), UV–vis spectroscopy, TGA, DSC, DTA and MS. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c space group and exhibits a pseudo layer structure with molecules linked by strong OH⋯O–P intermolecular hydrogen bonds of length 2.593Å. The dihydrogenphosphate anions themselves form infinite chains through strong OH⋯O–P intermolecular hydrogen bonds of lengths 2.636 and 2.658Å. The crystallographic disorder of these systems and its effect on IR-LD spectra in the solid state are discussed. Solutions of different polarity show a significant CT band shift of up to 70nm, corresponding to a molecular first hyperpolarizability value. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Benzamidinium d-glucuronate (1) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 and exhibits a 3D network with molecules linked by moderate intermolecular hydrogen bonds (HNH…O(solvent) 2.993Å, HNH…OCO 2.894Å, HNH…O(cycle) 2.844Å, OH…NH2 2.931Å, OH…O(solvent) 2.894, 2.924 and 2.715Å (stronger)) with participation of cations, anions and solvent molecules. The IR-band assignment of carbohydrate moieties is elucidated by a comparison between the types and bond lengths of intermolecular interactions with participation of OH groups in d-glucuronate and linear polarized IR-(IR-LD) spectroscopic data. Experimental results are supported by theoretical ab initio calculations of benzamidinium cation and d-glucuronate anion. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
