ABSTRACT
The synthetic availability of mol-ecular water oxidation catalysts containing high-valent ions of 3d metals in the active site is a prerequisite to enabling photo- and electrochemical water splitting on a large scale. Herein, the synthesis and crystal structure of di-ammonium {µ-1,3,4,7,8,10,12,13,16,17,19,22-dodeca-aza-tetra-cyclo-[8.8.4.13,17.18,12]tetra-cosane-5,6,14,15,20,21-hexa-onato}ferrate(IV) acetic acid tris-olvate, (NH4)2[FeIV(C12H12N12O6)]·3CH3COOH or (NH4)2[FeIV(L-6H)]·3CH3COOH is reported. The FeIV ion is encapsulated by the macropolycyclic ligand, which can be described as a dodeca-aza-quadricyclic cage with two capping tri-aza-cyclo-hexane fragments making three five- and six six-membered alternating chelate rings with the central FeIV ion. The local coord-ination environment of FeIV is formed by six deprotonated hydrazide nitro-gen atoms, which stabilize the unusual oxidation state. The FeIV ion lies on a twofold rotation axis (multiplicity 4, Wyckoff letter e) of the space group C2/c. Its coordination geometry is inter-mediate between a trigonal prism (distortion angle φ = 0°) and an anti-prism (φ = 60°) with φ = 31.1°. The Fe-N bond lengths lie in the range 1.9376â (13)-1.9617â (13)â Å, as expected for tetra-valent iron. Structure analysis revealed that three acetic acid mol-ecules additionally co-crystallize per one iron(IV) complex, and one of them is positionally disordered over four positions. In the crystal structure, the ammonium cations, complex dianions and acetic acid mol-ecules are inter-connected by an intricate system of hydrogen bonds, mainly via the oxamide oxygen atoms acting as acceptors.
ABSTRACT
The title compound, [FeLi2(C12H12N12O6)(H2O)4]·4H2O, consists of iron complex anions, lithium cations and water mol-ecules. The complex anion shows a clathrochelate topology. The coordination geometry of the FeIV centre is inter-mediate between a trigonal prism and a trigonal anti-prism. In the crystal, the complex anions are connected through two Li cations into dimers, which are connected by Li-O bonds, forming infinite chains along the b-axis direction.
ABSTRACT
In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C9H11N5O2, the oxime and hydrazide groups are situated in a cis-position in relation to the C-C bond linking the two functional groups. The CH3C(=NOH)C(O)NH fragment deviates from planarity because of a twist between the oxime and amide groups. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains in the [013] and [03] directions.
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
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.
ABSTRACT
The title compound, C19H17NO5, obtained by ether bond formation between the reagents, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The compound is non-planar, subtending a dihedral angle of 82.38â (4)° between the plane of hy-droxy isophthalate-based ester and that of the benzo-nitrile moiety. The mol-ecule is bent at the ether linkage, with a Car-yl-O-Car-yl bond angle of 116.74â (11)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds and other weak inter-actions forming a supra-molecular framework. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed to generate two-dimensional fingerprint plots, which reveal the type of inter-actions occurring in the vicinity of the mol-ecule.
