We report our joint computational and anion photoelectron spectroscopic study of indole-water cluster anions, indole(H2O)1,2 (-). The photoelectron spectra of both cluster anions show the characteristics of dipole-bound anions, and this is confirmed by our theoretical computations. The experimentally determined vertical electron detachment (VDE) energies for indole(H2O)1 (-) and indole(H2O)2 (-...

In the title compound, C(5)H(7)N(2) (+)·C(6)H(2)N(3)O(7) (-), there are two crystallographically independent cations and anions (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In both picrate anions, one of the nitro groups lies in the plane of the benzene ring [r.m.s. deviations = 0.014 (2) and 0.014 (2) Å for anions A and B, respectively] and the other two are twisted away by 39.0 (2) and 18.8 (2)° in A, a...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [CoK(CHO2)3]n the Co cations are coordinated by six O-bonded formate anions in an octahedral coordination mode and the K cations are eightfold coordinated by seven O-bonded formate anions within irregular polyhedra. The Co cations are connected by bridging formate anions into a three-dimensional coordination network in which the K cations are embe...

A number of biologically active complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with pyrazinedicarboxaimido derived thienyl and furanyl compounds having the same metal ion but different anions such as sulphate, nitrate, oxalate and acetate have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of their physical, spectral and analytical data. In order to evaluate the role of anions on their antibacterial p...

meta-Substituted arylamide trimer, pentamer and heptamer have been prepared from simple benzene-1,3-diamine, benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid, and 3-aminobenzoic acid units. 2D NOESY (1)H NMR experiments reveal that these flexible oligomers form folded conformations to complex di- and tricarboxylate anions of varying sizes and shapes in DMSO of high polarity, which is driven by multiple intermolec...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(C(2)H(5)OH)](n), the Cd(2+) cation is coordinated by one N and two O atoms of two symmetry-related isonicotinate anions, one ethanol mol-ecule and two μ-1,3-bridging thio-cyanate anions in a distorted octa-hedral N(2)O(3)S geometry. The metal cations are μ-1,3-bridged via thio-cyanate anions into chains that are further con...
