The title compound, [CuCl2(C10H16N2O)], has been synthesized and characterized by synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy. The 2-methyl-2-[(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amino]-propan-1-ol (mpmapOH) ligand, including pyridine, amine and hy-droxy groups, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-2-methyl-propan-1-ol with pyridine-2-carbaldehyde and was characterized by NMR spe...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ru(3)(C(29)H(30)P(2))(CO)(10)].1/8CH(3)OH, contains two triangulo-triruthenium mol-ecules with similar configurations and a methanol solvent mol-ecule (fractional site occupancy for the latter = 0.25). The bis-(di-o-tolyl-phosphan-yl)methane ligand bridges an Ru-Ru bond and its P atoms are equatorial with respect to the Ru(3) triangle. The phosphine-s...

In the title compound, [CuBr(2)(C(8)H(22)N(4))], the Cu(II) atom is six-coordinate forming a distorted octa-hedral complex and is bonded to two axial bromide anions and four equatorial nitro-gen donors. The equatorial Cu-N bond distances range from 2.005 (8) to 2.046 (8) Å while the axial Cu-Br distances are 2.8616 (17) and 2.9402 (17) Å, thus the six-coordinate Cu complex shows the usual Jahn-...

The crystal structure of the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, [Ru(3)(C(21)H(21)AsS(3))(CO)(11)], confirms that during the synthesis one equatorial carbonyl ligand is substituted by a monodentate arsine ligand, leaving one equatorial and two axial carbonyl substituents on an Ru atom. The other two Ru atoms each carry two equatorial and two axial carbonyl ligands. The three arsine-substitut...

The asymmetric unit of the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, [Ru(3)(C(18)H(12)Cl(3)P)(2)(CO)(10)]·H(2)O, consists of one triangulo-triruthenium complex and one disordered water solvent molecule. Two of the 3-chloro-phenyl rings are disordered over two positions with refined site occupancies of 0.671 (3)/0.329 (3) and 0.628 (3)/0.372 (3). The water mol-ecule is disordered over two positions...

Organocobalt complexes containing axial haloalkyl groups afford metallacycles of different size by N or O alkylation of the macrocyclic equatorial ligands. The reaction mechanism involves the intramolecular nucleophilic attack of a negatively charged atom of the equatorial ligand on the axial 2 XCH haloalkyl group with simultaneous detachment of a halide ion, X. In imino/oxime and amino/oxime d...

A new binuclear paddle-wheel palladium(II) complex of [Pd2(μ-mtzt)4]dmgH2 (1) has been prepared by the treatment of PdCl2 in acetonitrile with mixture of 1-methyl-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazole-5-thiol (Hmtzt) and dimethylglyoxime (dmgH2) in methanol. Resulted complex was characterized by elemental analysis (CHNS), IR, UV–Vis absorption, 1H NMR spectroscopy and its structure was determined with single-cr...

In the title compound, [Cu(C(5)H(14)NO(6)P(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Cu(II) atom occupies a special position on an inversion centre. It exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment consisting of two O,O'-bidentate (1-ammonio-pentane-1,1-di-yl)diphospho-nate anions in the equatorial plane and two trans water mol-ecules located in axial positions. The ligand mol-ecules are coordinated t...

Since their introduction by E. L. Eliel nearly four decades ago, derivatives of 1,3-dioxane have proved useful in conformational analysis. Examples are discussed, where 5-polar substituents permit the evaluation of fundamental phenomena such as attractive and repulsive gauche effects, electrostatic interactions, and stereoelectronic effects. By the same token, 2-substituted 1,3-dioxanes, 1,3-di...

Conformational analyses on 2-substituted (methoxy, vinyloxy, and acetoxy) methylenecyclohexanes have been performed computationally with HF, B3LYP, PBE0, and MP2 and the 6-31G(d) basis set. The global minimum for the methoxy substituent is an axial conformer. For the vinyloxy substituent, except with PBE0, an axial conformer is determined as the global minimum. The acetoxy substituent prefers t...
