In the title compound, [Ag(2)(C(5)H(2)N(2)O(4))(NH(3))(2)], each of the two Ag(I) atoms is coordinated by two N atoms from an ammonia mol-ecule and a 5-carb-oxy-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl-ate ligand in an almost linear geometry, and by one carboxyl-ate O atom with a weak inter-action. The Ag atoms are assembled into a linear tetra-mer through Ag⋯Ag inter-actions. Each Ag tetra-mer is linked by fou...

The complexes of Fe(II), Mn(II) and Ni(II) with a combination of a Schiff base, nitrogen-donor ligand or macrocyclic ligand and trithiocyanuric acid (ttcH3) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopies. Crystal and molecular structures of the iron complex of composition [Fe(L1)](ttcH2)(ClO4)·EtOH·H2O (1), where L1 is Schiff base derived from tris(2-aminoethyl)amine a...

Three cobalt complexes bearing tunable, redox-active bipyridyl N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based ligands have been studied for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution from aqueous solutions. The effect of structural modifications to the ligand framework is investigated across catalyst series, which includes a non-macrocyclic derivative (1-Co) and 16-(2-Co) 15-(3-Co) membered macrocycles. A structu...

The ligand 4,4'-bipyrimidine combines a chelating bipyridine group and two terminal donor atoms into a single molecule; chelation to a single Ag(I) centre forms a square planar complex which can then form an extended planar ladder-type polymer by linking through linear Ag(I) centres whereas bis-coordination to an octahedral Co(II) centre yields a building block with four external donor nitrogen...

The geometrically pure 'complex ligand' fac-[Ru(L(ph))3](2+), in which three pendant bidentate binding sites are located on one face of the complex, reacts with Ag(I) ions to form the adamantoid decanuclear cage [{Ru(L(ph))3}4Ag6](PF6)14 which contains a 6-coordinate Ru(II) ion at each vertex of a large tetrahedron and a 4-coordinate Ag(I) ion along each edge.

Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes with a tetradentate nitrogen donor [N4] macrocyclic ligand, viz. 6,15-dimethyl-8,17diphenyl-7,16-dihydrodibenzo[b,i][1.4.8.11]tetraazacyclotetradecine, were synthesized. Their structures were determined based on elemental analyses, molar conductance and magnetic susceptibility measurements, and IR, 1H-NMR (ligand) and electronic spectral studies. Based on an...

The 4-carboxyphenyl-appended macrocyclic ligand trans-6,13-dimethyl-6-((4-carboxybenzyl)amino)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-6-amine (HL10) has been synthesised and complexed with Co(III). The mononuclear complexes [Co(HL10)(CN)]2+ and [CoL10(OH)]+ have been prepared and the crystal structures of their perchlorate salts are presented, where the ligand is bound in a pentadentate mode in each...

Silver(I) salts, AgX, form self-assembled polymers with the chiral diphosphine ligand R,R-trans-C(6)H(10)(NHCO-2-C(6)H(4)PPh(2))(2), 1, of formula {Ag(2)X(2)(μ-1)}(n) and ring-opening polymerization of the trans chelate complex [Ag(1)]X has given the helical polymer [{Ag(μ-1)}(n)]X(n), when X = CF(3)SO(3).

The title complex, [Ag(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(C(32)H(30)N(2)P(2))](ClO(4))(2)·2CH(3)COCH(3), is a centrosymmetric dimer with pairs of Ag(I) atoms bridged by N,N'-bis-(diphenyl-phosphinometh-yl)ben-zene-1,4-diamine ligands. In addition, each Ag(I) atom is coordin-ated by one chelating 2,2'-bipyridine ligand, giving a distorted trigonal coordination environment.
