ABSTRACT
The title compound, poly[tri-aqua-bis-[µ4-N,N'-(1,3,5-oxadiazinane-3,5-di-yl)bis(carbamoyl-methano-ato)]dinickel(II)tetra-potassium], [K4Ni2(C7H6N4O7)2(H2O)3] n , is a second solvatomorph of poly[(µ4-N,N'-(1,3,5-oxadiazinane-3,5-di-yl)bis-(carbamoyl-methano-ato)nickel(II)dipotassium] reported previously [Plutenko et al. (2021 â¸). Acta Cryst. E77, 298-304]. The asymmetric unit of the title compound includes two structurally independent complex anions [Ni(C7H6N4O7)]2-, which exhibit an L-shaped geometry and consist of two almost flat fragments perpendicular to one another: the 1,3,5-oxadiazinane fragment and the fragment including other atoms of the anion. The central Ni atom is in a square-planar N2O2 coordination arrangement formed by two amide N and two carboxyl-ate O atoms. In the crystal, the title compound forms a layered structure in which layers of negatively charged complex anions and positively charged potassium cations are stacked along the a-axis direction. The polymeric framework is stabilized by a system of hydrogen-bonding inter-actions in which the water mol-ecules act as donors and the carb-oxy-lic, amide and water O atoms act as acceptors.
ABSTRACT
Mn cage complexes are rare, and the ones successfully isolated in the solid state are not stable in water and organic solvents. Herein, we present the first report of mononuclear Mn clathrochelates, in which the encapsulated metal exists in the oxidation state +4. The complexes are extremely stable in the crystalline state and in solutions and show rich redox chemistry.
ABSTRACT
The title compound, {[K4Ni2(C7H6N4O7)2]·4.8H2O} n , was obtained as a result of a template reaction between oxalohydrazide-hydroxamic acid, formaldehyde and nickel(II) nitrate followed by partial hydrolysis of the formed inter-mediate. The two independent [Ni(C7H6N4O7)]2- complex anions exhibit pseudo-C S symmetry and consist of an almost planar metal-containing fragment and a 1,3,5-oxadiazinane ring with a chair conformation disposed nearly perpendicularly with respect to the former. The central NiII atom has a square-planar N2O2 coordination arrangement formed by two amide N and two carboxyl-ate O atoms. In the crystal, the nickel(II) complex anions form layers parallel to the ab plane. Neighboring complex anion layers are connected by layers of potassium cations for which two of the four independent cations are disordered over two sites [ratios of 0.54â (3):0.46â (3) and 0.9643â (15):0.0357â (15)]. The framework is stabilized by an extensive system of hydrogen bonds where the water mol-ecules act as donors and the carb-oxy-lic O atoms, the amide O atoms and the oxadiazinane N atoms act as acceptors.
