The title complex, [Co(C7H7N4O2)2(H2O)4], comprises mononuclear mol-ecules consisting of a CoII ion, two deprotonated theophylline ligands (systematic name: 1,3-dimethyl-7H-purine-2,6-dione) and four coordinating water mol-ecules. The CoII atom lies on an inversion centre and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment, with two N atoms of two trans-oriented theophylline ligan...

In the title compound, [Co(C11H12NO6P)(C6H5N3)2]·C6H5N3, the 2,2'-[N-(phenyl-phospho-rylmethyl-κO)aza-nedi-yl]di-acetate dianion N,O,O',O''-chelates the CoII cation and two 1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole mol-ecules coordinate to the CoII cation to complete the slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination. In the crystal, classical O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mo...

Polyhydroxylated flavylium ions, such as 3',4',7-trihydroxyflavylium chloride (P1) and its more water-soluble 7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (P2), are readily accessible by chemical synthesis and suitable models of natural anthocyanins in terms of color and species distribution in aqueous solution. Owing to their catechol B-ring, they rapidly bind FeIII, weakly interact with FeII and promote its autox...

Photocatalytic Syngas Production In article number 2200085, Mingxiong Lin, Zanyong Zhuang, Yan Yu, and co-workers report the construction of an ordered CoIII[email protected]II-MOF heterostructure based on a spontaneous oriented attachment mechanism. CoIII-PBA exerts stronger affinity for CO2 molecules than CoII-PBA, thus serves as active sites, built-in electric field in protected]II-PBA heter...

The asymmetric unit of the title one-dimensional polymeric compound, {[Co(C10H11O2)2(H2O)3]·2H2O} n , contains one CoII cation situated on a centre of inversion, one-half of a coordinating water mol-ecule, one 2,4,6-tri-methyl-benzoate (TMB) anion together with one coordinating and one non-coordinating water mol-ecule; the TMB anion acts as a monodentate ligand. In the anion, the carboxyl-ate g...
