In the title compound, [Pd(C(15)H(14)NO)(2)], the Pd atom lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by two ligand mol-ecules through the O and N atoms in a bidentate manner, forming a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings in the ligand is 76.53 (19)°. The mol-ecular packing is stablized by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

The chelating behavior of the thiosemicarbazone derivatives of 2-hydroxy-8-R-tricyclo[7.3.1.0.(2,7)]tridecane-13-one (where R = H, CH3, C6H5) towards Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) has been investigated by elemental analysis, molar conductivity measurements, UV-VIS, IR, ESR spectroscopy and thermal studies. It was deduced from the experiments performed that the ligands coordinate to metal ions in di...

In the title complex, [Cd(C(2)O(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))](n), the Cd(II) atom has a distorted octa-hedral coordination, defined by four O atoms from two symmetry-related oxalate ligands and by two N atoms from a bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. Each oxalate ligand bridges two Cd(II) atoms, generating a zigzag chain structure propagating along [100]. The packing of the structure is consolidated b...

The structure of the title complex, [ZnCl(2)(C(12)H(18)N(2)O(2))], contains a zwitterionic Schiff base ligand. The complex adopts a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry around the metal centre with the Schiff base ligand coordinated in a bidentate fashion via the imine N and phenolate O atoms. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chain...

In the salt, (NH(4))(2)[Co(CH(4)O(6)P(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the methyl-ene-diphospho-nate acts as a bidentate ligand and the Co(II) ion (site symmetry ) assumes an octa-hedral CoO(6) coordination geometry. The acid H atom of the ligand is distributed over two O atoms. In the crystal, a three-dimensional network is formed through O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the cations and anions.

Zinc sulphate is currently used for treatment of zinc deficiency. Its uptake by the body is poor, necessitating the administration of high doses. This leads to a range of unpleasant side effects. In order to increase the bioavailability of zinc, several zinc complexes have been designed and synthesized using bidentate ligands of hydroxypyranones and hydroxypyridinones. Elemental analysis in eac...

In the title compound, [ReCl(C15H16N4)(CO)3], the Re(I) ion is coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by one Cl atom, two N atoms of the bidentate ligand and three carbonyl groups. The cyclo-pentane group is orientated in a transoid fashion with respect to the chloride ligand. The dihedral angle between the pryridine rings is 10.91 (12)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link comp...

The title compound, [U(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2)O(2)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)], exhibits a penta-gonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry around the U(VI) atom, involving two bidentate acetyl-acetonate ions and the pyridine ring of the pyridine-4-carbaldehyde oxime ligand. Hydrogen bonds exist between the OH group of the pyridine-4-carbaldehyde oxime ligand and the two O atoms of the acetyl-acetonate ions.

In the title compound, [Cu(C(2)H(3)N)(2)(C(22)H(28)N(2)O(6))]ClO(4), the Cu atom is coordinated by two N atoms from one bidentate Schiff base ligand and two N atoms from two acetonitrile groups. The Cu atom adopts a tetra-hedral geometry. The Cu-N(ligand) distances are 2.076 (3) and 2.089 (3) Å, and the Cu-N(acetonitrile) distances are 1.964 (4) and 1.975 (4) Å.

1,1 0-Ferrocene dicarboxylic acid pyridin-4-yl ester (1) is prepared from 1,1 0-ferrocene dicarbonyl chloride and 4-hydroxypyridine. This new bidentate ferrocenoyl ligand reacts with the monocationic complex [(g-p-cymene)2Ru2(l-OH)3] + to give the dicationic complex [(g-p-cymene)2Ru2(l-OH)2(1,1 0(NC5H4–OOC)2–Fc)] 2+ (2) (Fc: C5H4–Fe–C5H4), isolated as a tetrafluoroborate salt. The single-crysta...
