The structure of the title compound, [N(C2H5)4]2[Co2(C2N3)5(H2O)4](C2N3), is a new example of a metal-dicyanamide coordination polymer which exhibits a unique three-dimensional framework of covalently linked CoII chains. All bridging dicyanamide ligands in the title structure are in the μ1,5-bridging mode. The anionic CoII-dicyanamide network is templated by tetra-ethyl-ammonium cations residin...

In the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))], the Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral arrangement by an N,N'-bidentate 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two bromide ions. In the crystal, there are aromatic π-π contacts between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.818 (3) and 3.728 (4) Å].

In the structure of the title complex salt, (Et2NH2)2[CuCl4], the asymmetric unit consists of four unique di-ethyl-ammonium cations and three unique tetra-chlorido-cuprate anions. Two of the three anions are located with their copper atoms on independent crystallographic twofold axes, while the remaining tetra-chlorido-cuprate is located at a general position of the ortho-rhom-bic space group P...

Repeated reaction between a chiral quaternary ammonium dimer and disodium disulfonate gave a chiral ionic polymer, which showed excellent catalytic activity in the asymmetric benzylation of N-diphenylmethylene glycine tert-butyl ester.

Pure barium zirconate nanopowders were successfully prepared in wet-chemistry synthesismethod, using barium stearate and tetra-n-butyl zirconate as Ba, Zr sources and stearic acid ascomplexing reagent. The gel was calcined at 800 and 900 °C in air. Results of thermal analysisare given, including both DTG and TG. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-raydiffraction (XRD), transmissio...

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Ni(C(12)H(8)N(2))(3)][NiCl(3)(C(7)H(12)N(2)S)](2)·2CH(3)CN, consists of one anion, one-half of a cation and one acetonitrile mol-ecule. The Ni(II) atom in the [Ni(phen)(3)](2+) cation (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) lies on an inversion centre in an octa-hedral environment, whereas in the [NiCl(3)(tm)](-) anion [tm is 1-tert-butyl-imidazole-2(3H)-thione]...

The title compound, (EtMe(3)N)(2)[Cd(Se(4))(2)], which has been prepared by reaction of CdI(2), K(2)Se(4) and EtMe(3)NI in dimethyl-formamide, is the first example of a [Cd(Se(4))(2)](2-) anion stabilized by alkyl-ammonium counter-ions. The Cd atom in the complex [Cd(Se(4))(2)](2-) anion is tetra-hedrally coordinated by two chelating tetra-selenide ligands, and both CdSe(4) rings exhibit an env...

The reaction of 2-methyl-8-hy-droxy-quinoline and zinc bromide in acetonitrile affords the title solvated salt, (C(10)H(10)NO)[ZnBr(2)(C(10)H(8)NO)]·CH(3)CN, in which the Zn(II) ion is coordinated by a N,O-chelating 2-methyl-quinolin-8-olate ligand and two bromide ligands in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The cation is linked to the anion by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond and the quinolinium H atom...

The asymmetric unit of the title three-dimensional coordination polymer, [Mn2Br6(C11H28N2O2)] n , consists of one Mn(II) cation, half of a dicationic N,N'-bis-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-propane-1,3-diaminium ligand (L) (the other half being generated by a twofold rotation axis), and three bromide ions. The Mn(II) cation is coordinated by a single L ligand via the hy-droxy O atom...

The title chiral quaternary ammonium salt, C(13)H(25)N(4) (+)·I(-), was synthesized through the Menschutkin reaction between the cage aminal (2S,7S)-1,8,10,12-tetra-aza-tetra-cyclo-[8.3.1.1(8,12).0(2,7)]penta-decane and ethyl iodide. The quaternization occurred regioselectively on the nitrogen with major sp3 character. The crystal structure consists of anions and cations separated by normal dis...
