The title compound, [Ru(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(C(13)H(7)N(3)S)](PF(6))(2)·CH(3)CN, was synthesized by the reaction of thio-phosgene and bis-(2,2'-bipyridine)(1,10-phenanthrolin-5-amine)ruthenium(II) bis-(hexa-fluoridophosphate). The Ru(II) atom adopts a slightly distorted octa-hedral RuN(6) coordinaton formed by four N atoms of two bipyridine ligands and by two N atoms of the 1,10-phenantroline liga...

The Co(III) atom in the title compound, [Co(C(12)H(6)N(2)O(4))(C(12)H(7)N(2)O(4))], is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by four N atoms and two O atoms of the chelating 2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxyl-ate and 6'-carb-oxy-2,2'-bipyridine-6-carboxyl-ate ligands. Intermolecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and face-to-face π-stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6352 (1...

In the crystal structure of the title mixed-ligand coordination polymer, [Nd(2)(C(12)H(6)N(2)O(4))(3)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n), the Nd(III) ion is in an octa-hedral coordination environment formed by one water mol-ecule, one chelating 2,2'-bipyridine ligand, and five monodentate carboxyl-ate groups. The local coordination polyhedron around the Nd(III) ion is a bicapped trigonal prism. Tw...

Mn( ii ), Co( and Ni( ) morpholine 2,2′-bipyridine complexes gave potent DNA cleavage, antimicrobial antioxidant activity. Calculations support the results, with Co Ni showing better anticancer efficacy than cisplatin.

In the title compound, {[Co(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(4)](ClO(4))(2)·2C(10)H(8)N(2)·2H(2)O}(n), slightly distorted octa-hedrally coordinated Co(II) ions situated on inversion centers are linked into polycationic chains through 4,4'-bipyridine tethering ligands. These are connected into supra-molecular layers by hydrogen bonding involving aqua ligands, perchlorate anions and uncoordinated water mol-...

In the title compound, [Cu(C(8)H(7)O(2))(NO(3))(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Cu(II) ion is five-coordinate in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The basal positions are occupied by two N atoms from a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two O atoms from the 2-acetyl-phenolate anion. The axial position is occupied by one O atom of a nitrate anion. In the bipyridine ligand, the two pyridine rings are slightly ...

In the title co-crystal, C(10)H(8)N(2)·C(8)H(7)NO(4)S, the formate group is coplanar with the pyridyl ring of the acid [dihedral angle = 6.2 (7)°], while the carb-oxy-methyl-sulfanyl group makes a C-S-C-C torsion angle of 70.2 (1)° with the pyridine ring. The dihedral angle between the pyridyl rings of the 4,4'-bipyridine mol-ecule is 27.4 (1)°. The acid and the 4,4'-bipyridine mol-ecules are i...

Cationic tetranuclear arene ruthenium complexes of the general formula [Ru4(p-cymene)4(N N)2(dhnq)2] comprising rectangular structures are obtained in methanol from the reaction of the dinuclear arene ruthenium precursor [Ru2(p-cymene)2(dhnq)2Cl2] (dhnq = 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinonato) with pyrazine or bipyridine linkers [N N = pyrazine, 1; 4,4 -bipyridine, 2; 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, 3...

In the title compound, [Zn(2)(C(14)H(8)O(5))(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))(2)]·2H(2)O, the Zn(II) atom exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry, defined by two N atoms from one 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and four O atoms from two bridging 2,2'-oxydibenzoate ligands. The mol-ecule is a centrosymmetric dimer. π-π Stacking inter-actions are observed between the 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipy...
