The title compound, [Cu2(C7H3NO4)2(C12H12N6)(H2O)2]·H2O, displays a discrete dinuclear structure, in which the central CuII atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-based pyramidal coordination geometry and the flexible ligand 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene adopts a bis-monodentate bridging mode linking the CuII atoms. It is further assembled by O—H...O hydrogen-bond interactions involving both the coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules. The latter exhibits half-occupancy.

Abstract: A mononuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(PIM)2(PhCOO)2] (1) [where PIM=2-propylimidazole] has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis, TGA, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural analysis indicated that Cu(II) atom in the complex is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by two N atoms from two 2-propylimidazole and four O atoms from two benzoate ligands. In addition, based on crystal structural data, quantum chemistry calculation in DFT/B3LYP level has been used to reoptimize and explore the electronic structure of the compound 1; time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations have also been performed in order to elucidate its spectroscopic properties. All parameters from the calculations are in well accordance with our experimental result. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The title salt, (C(6)H(11)N(2))(2)[Cd(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)], displays a discrete mononuclear structure, in which the central Cd(II) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry by two N and four O atoms from two different pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate anions in an O(2),N,O(6)-tridentate chelation mode. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.576 (5) Å].

In the title compound, [Mn(C(10)H(10)N(2))(6)](ClO(4))(2), the Mn(II) ion, located on an inversion center, is coordinated by six N atoms from three pairs of symmetry-related 1-benzyl-1H-imidazole ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex cations and perchlorate anions.

In the dication of the title compound, C(16)H(20)N(4) (2+)·C(10)H(4)O(8) (2-)·H(2)O, the dihedral angles formed by mean planes of the imidazolium rings and the benzene ring are 69.05 (18) and 89.1 (2)°. In the crystal, the components are linked into a three-dimensional network by inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(14)H(16)N(4) (2+)·2C(7)H(4)NO(4) (-)·2C(7)H(5)NO(4), comprises one-half of the 3,3'-(p-phenyl-enedimethyl-ene)di-1H-imidazol-1-ium dication, which lies on an inversion centre, one 4-nitro-benzoate anion and one 4-nitro-benzoic acid mol-ecule. In the crystal, the components are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to (110) by O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
