The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(8)N(4)O(2), contains one half-mol-ecule; a twofold rotation axis bisects the molecule. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond results in the formation of a five-membered ring, which displays an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules.

Heterobimetallic NiZn complexes featuring metal centers in distinct coordination environments have been synthesized using diimine-dioxime ligands as binucleating scaffolds. A tetramethylfuran-containing ligand derivative enables a stable one-electron-reduced S = 1/2 species to be accessed using Cp2Co as a chemical reductant. The resulting pseudo-square planar complex exhibits spectroscopic and ...

Glutarimidedioxime (H(2)A), a cyclic imide dioxime ligand that has implications in sequestering uranium from seawater, forms strong tridentate complexes with UO(2)(2+). The stability constants and the enthalpies of complexation for five U(VI) complexes were measured by potentiometry and microcalorimetry. The crystal structure of the 1 : 2 metal-ligand complex, UO(2)(HA)(2)·H(2)O, was determined...
