In this research, 1D four-coordinate copper(I) coordination Polymer [Cu(Clba2-1,2-pn)(NCS)]n (1) with thiocyanate anion as bridging ligand, where Clba2-1,2-pn = N,Nʹ-bis(2,4-chlorobenzylidene)propane-1,2-diamine), was synthesized by slow evaporation of solvent at room temperature and characterized by elemental analysis (CHN) and single-cryst...

A number of complexes in the series (Cu LL'),, where L = [(CH,),C-CO-CH-COC( CH,),]-I and L'= 3-(Me) C6H,0-, 2,6-(Di-Me)C6H30-, 4-(OH)C6H?O-, 3- (F) C6H,0-, 4-(Br)C6H40-a, nd 3,s-(Dl-Me)C6H30h- ave been prepared and theu magnetic and optical properties determined. In chloroform, the complexes exhibit two bands in the visible and near UV regions. All complexes show room temperature magnetic ...

In the title hydrated coordination polymer, {[Zn(C6H2O5)(C10H8N2)(H2O)]·2H2O} n , an infinite [1-10] chain is formed by the linking of [Zn(C10H8N2)(H2O)](2+) entities by bridging, monodentate furan-2,5-dicarboxyl-ate dianionic linkers. The Zn(2+) coordination geometry is a trigonal bipyramid, with one N atom (from 2,2'-bipyridine) and one O atom (from the bridging dianion) in the axial position...

In the crystal of the title polymeric compound, [CdBr(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))](n), the Cd(II) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis. The Cd(II) cation is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry formed by two N atoms from the 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and four bridging Br(-) anions. The bridging function of the Br(-) anions leads to a polymeric chain running along the c ...

The title compound, [Cr(2)Cl(2)O(C(18)H(18)N(4))(2)](PF(6))(2), is isostructural with the V(III) analogue. Each Cr(III) atom is chelated by the tetra-dentate tris-(2-pyridylmeth-yl)amine ligand via four N atoms, and further coordinated by one Cl atom and one bridging O atom, giving a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The dinuclear complex is centrosymmetric, with the bridgin...

The initial 'accidental', metal ion-assisted hydrolysis of PF6(-) to PO3F(2-) has been evolved in a systematic investigation of the bridging affinity of the latter group in Ni(II)/oximate chemistry; mono-, di- and trinuclear complexes have been prepared and confirmed both the rich reactivity of PO3F(2-) and its potential for further use as bridging ligand in high-nuclearity 3d-metal cluster che...

The reaction of the bis(pentalene)dititanium complex Ti2(μ:η5,η5-Pn†)2 (Pn† = C8H4(1,4-SiiPr3)2) with the N-heterocyclic carbene 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene results in intramolecular C-H activation of one of the iPr methyl groups of a Pn† ligand and formation of a "tucked-in" bridging hydride complex. The "tuck-in" process is reversed by the addition of hydrogen, which yields a dihydr...

In the title compound, [Co4(C5H5)4(μ3-CCH2SiMe3)(μ3-H)], the Co atoms form a distorted tetra-hedron with the ethyl-idyne moiety bridging three of the Co atoms as well as the hydrido ligand also bridging three of the Co atoms. The Co-Co bond lengths in the Co4 tetrahedron vary from 2.3844 (4) to 2.4608 (4) Å. Each Co atom is additionally η(5)-bonded to a cyclopentadienyl (Cp) anion.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C(8)H(8)O(5))(H(2)O)(2)](n), the Ni(II) cation is in a Jahn-Teller-distorted octahedral coordination environment binding to two O atoms from water molecules, the bridging O atom of the bicycloheptane unit, two carboxylate O atoms from different carboxylate groups and one carboxylate O atom from a symmetry-related bridging ligand. The crystal s...

In the title centrosymmetric dinuclear complex, [Tm(2)(C(10)H(11)O(4))(6)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], the unique Tm(III) ion is coordin-ated by five 3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl-acetate (DMPA) ligands and and a bis-chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand via seven O atoms and two N atoms, forming a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic environment. The DMPA ligands coordin-ate in the bis-chelate, bridging...
