In the title compound, catena-poly[bis[(2,2'-bipyridine-κ(2)N,N')(1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-ethoxypropenido-κN)copper(II)]-μ4-hexanedioato-κ(6)O(1),O(1'):O(1):O(6),O(6'):O(6)], [Cu2(C9H5N4O)2(C6H8O4)(C10H8N2)2]n, the adipate (hexanedioate) dianion lies across a centre of inversion in the space group P1. The Cu(II) centre adopts a distorted form of axially elongated (4+2) coordination, and the Cu(II)...

Following previous work on complexes of the anions (1R,3S)-(+)-camphoric acid (H2cam) with uranyl cation, three novel species have been synthesized under solvo-hydrothermal conditions. [UO2(Hcam)2(4,4?-bipy)] (1), where 4,4?-bipy is 4,4?-bipyridine, crystallizes as a monoperiodic polymer bridging molecules and chelating, terminal Hcam– anions, hydrogen bonding between carboxylic carboxylate gro...

The title compound, C(30)H(28)N(2)S(16), is a precursor to hybrid magnetic materials. The complete molecule is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. In the crystal structure, the TTF core is not planar and adopts a chair conformation; the two C(3)S(2) rings are folded around the S⋯S hinges, the dihedral angles being 17.14 (8) and 13.46 (7)°. There is a short S⋯S contact [3.4863  (14...

We study the electrochemical, spectroscopic, and photocatalytic properties of a series of Ru(II)-Re(I) binuclear complexes linked by bridging ligands 1,3-bis(4'-methyl-[2,2']bipyridinyl-4-yl)propan-2-ol (bpyC3bpy) and 4-methyl-4'-[1,10]phenanthroline-[5,6-d]imidazol-2-yl)bipyridine (mfibpy) and a tetranuclear complex in which three [Re(CO)3Cl] moieties are coordinated to the central Ru using th...

In the title compound, [Zn(C(12)H(9)O(2))(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))]·0.5H(2)O, the water mol-ecule lies on a twofold rotation axis. The Zn(II) atom is coordinated by three O atoms from two 1-naphthyl-acetate ligands, one monodentate and the other asymmetric bidentate chelate, and two N atoms from a 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand, giving an irregular environment. In the crystal, the complex mol-e...

In the title compound, [Mo(2)(C(7)F(5)O(2))(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2))](n), the mol-ecule forms a paddle-wheel-type structure. Each Mo(2) (4+) unit is equatorially coordinated by four pentafluoro-benzoate groups, while the axial positions are occupied by two 4,4'-bipyridine mol-ecules. The Mo-Mo bond length of 2.1227 (4) Å is representative of a dimolybdenum quadruple bond. An infinite linear chain para...

Six homologous gold(III) dinuclear oxo-bridged complexes, of the type [(bipy)Au(μ-O)2Au(bipy)][PF6]2, bearing variously substituted 2,2’-bipyridine ligands (bipy = 2,2’-bipyridine, 4,4’-di-tert-butyl-, 6-methyl-, 6-neopentyl-, 6-o-xylyland 6,6’-dimethyl-2,2’-bipyridine), here called Auoxos, were prepared, characterised and recently tested as potential anticancer agents. Crystal structures were ...

The title six-coordinated distorted octa-hedral complex, [Cu(C(6)H(3)N(2)O(4))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))]·2H(2)O, consists of two 3-carboxy-pyrazine-2-carboxyl-ate anions and one 2,2'-bipyridine ligand. There is a twofold rotation axis positioned at the Cu(II) center. The N atoms of the pyrazine ring occupy the axial positions and two proton-transferred O atoms of tbe acid together with the two N atoms...
