The crystal structure of the new double CuII complex salt, [Cu(L)(H2O)2][Cu(L)]Br4·2H2O (L = 3,14-diethyl-2,6,13,17-tetra­aza­tri­cyclo­[16.4.0.07,12]docosane, C22H44N4) has been determined using synchrotron radiation. The asymmetric unit contains one half of a [Cu(L)(H2O)2]2+ cation, one half of a [Cu(L)]2+ cation (both completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry), two bromide anions and one water solvent mol­ecule. The CuII atom in the first complex exists in a tetra­gonally distorted octa­hedral environment with the four N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand in equatorial and two aqua ligands in axial positions, whereas the CuII atom in the second complex exists in a square-planar environment defined by the four nitro­gen atoms of the macrocyclic ligand. The two macrocyclic rings adopt the most stable trans-III configuration with normal Cu—N bond lengths from 2.016 (3) to 2.055 (3) Å and an axial Cu—O bond length of 2.658 (4) Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular hydrogen bonds involving the macrocycle N—H or C—H groups and the O—H groups of water mol­ecules as donor groups, and the O atoms of water mol­ecules and bromide anions as acceptor groups, giving rise to a one-dimensional network extending parallel to [100].

The crystal structure of title salt, C22H46N42+·2NO3−·2H2O, has been determined using synchrotron radiation at 220 K. The structure determination reveals that protonation has occurred at diagonally opposite amine N atoms. The asymmetric unit contains half a centrosymmetric dication, one nitrate anion and one water mol­ecule. The mol­ecular dication, C22H46N42+, together with the nitrate anion and hydrate water mol­ecule are involved in an extensive range of hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecule is stabilized, as is the conformation of the dication, by forming inter­molecular N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O, together with intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, Ag[Cr(C11H14N2O8)]·3H2O, contains one [Cr(1,3-pdta)]- anion [1,3-pdta is (propane-1,3-diyldinitrilo)tetraacetate], one Ag+ cation and three water molecules. The Cr3+ ion is coordinated to the four O and two N atoms of the 1,3-pdta ligand, displaying a distorted octahedral geometry. The mean Cr--N and Cr--O bond lengths are 2.0727 (17) and 1.9608 (15) Å, respectively. The conformations of the chelate rings were found to be envelope for the glycinates and twist-boat for the six-membered diamine (T) ring. The Ag+ cation is surrounded by six O atoms from three noncoordinated carbonyl O atoms of neighbouring 1,3-pdta groups and three water molecules. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving the water O--H group as donor and the carboxyl O atom as acceptor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The structure of the title compound, [CrCl2(tn)2]2[Cr2O7] (tn = propane-1,3-diamine; C3H10N2), has been determined from synchrotron data. The asymmetric unit contains one CrIII complex cation and half a [Cr2O7]2- anion. In the complex cation, the CrIII ion is coordinated by the four N atoms of two propane-1,3-diamine (tn) ligands in the equatorial plane and by two Cl atoms in a trans configuration, displaying a distorted octahedral coordination sphere. The two six-membered rings in the complex cation have an anti chair-chair conformation with respect to each other. The mean Cr-N(tn) and Cr-Cl bond lengths are 2.09 (1) and 2.320 (2) Å, respectively. The slightly bent dichromate anion is disordered over two sets of sites (occupancy ratio = 0.7:0.3) and has a staggered conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving the NH2 groups of the tn ligands as donors and the O atoms of the [Cr2O7]2- anion and chlorido ligands as acceptors.

The structure of the title salt, [CrCl(C10H8N2)2(H2O)][ZnCl4], has been determined from synchrotron data. The CrIII ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) ligands, one O atom from a water molecule and a chloride anion in a cis arrangement, displaying a distorted octahedral geometry. The tetrahedral [ZnCl4]2- anion is slightly distorted owing to its involvement in O-H···Cl hydrogen bonding with the coordinating water molecule. The Cr-N(bipy) bond lengths are in the range 2.0485 (13)-2.0632 (12) Å , while the Cr-Cl and Cr-OH2) bond lengths are 2.2732 (6) and 1.9876 (12) Å, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are stacked along the a axis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
