Silver complexes with 5-(4-(tert-butyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-ylidene ligands were synthesized as metal-imidazole acid-base cooperative catalysts. Single crystal XRD analysis revealed that the silver atom was located in vicinity of imidazole ring and cationic formed dimers through coordination between metal pendant. These served catalysts for cyclization alkyne-tethered carb...

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...

In the polymeric title compound, [CdCl2(C6H6N4)] n , the central CdII atom is coordinated by four chloride ligands and two N atoms from a chelating 2,2'-bi-1H-imidazole mol-ecule, leading to a distorted octa-hedral Cl4N2 coordination set. As a result of the μ2-bridging character of the Cl ligands, chains parallel to the c axis are formed, with the chelating 2,2'-bi-1H-imidazole ligands decorate...

The imidazole ring in the title compound, C(27)H(22)N(8), adopts a slight envelope conformation with the C atom carrying the phenyl ring being the flap atom. The phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to the mean plane of the imidazole ring [dihedral angle = 88.90 (7)°]. The (1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)methyl groups bound to the imidazole ring are positioned on the same side of the imidazole ring. The d...

The title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(3)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], is a triclinic modification of a monoclinic form recently reported by Du et al. [Acta Cryst. (2011) ▶, E67, m997]. The Fe(II) ion lies at an inversion center and is coordinated by two N and two O atoms from two 5-carb-oxy-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl-ate ligands in trans positions, together with two water mol-ecules, completing a slightly dist...

In the title compound, [Mn(C(8)H(6)N(5)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Mn(II) ion is situated on an inversion center and is six-coordinated by two N and two O atoms from two L ligands (HL = 2-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)meth-yl]-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid) and two water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In ligand L, the imidazole and triazole rings form a dihedral angle of 74.25 (8)°...

The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric Co(II) complex, [Co2(C13H7NO4)2(C12H10N4)(H2O)4] n , contains a Co(II) cation, a 5-(4-carboxyl-atophen-yl)picolinate dianion, two coordination water mol-ecules and half of 1-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phen-yl]-1H-imidazole ligand. The Co(II) cation is coordinated by two picolinate dianions, two water mol-ecules and one 1-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phen-yl]-1H-imid...
