Di-propyl-ammonium 4-amino-benzene-sulfonate.

In the title mol-ecular salt, NH2(C3H7)2 +·[NH2C6H4SO3]-, the cation displays an extended conformation. In the crystal, anion-to-anion N-H⋯O and N-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds generate (101) layers. Cation-to-anion N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the layers into a three-dimensional network.

Synthesis, structure determination and characterization by UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy of bis-(diiso-propyl-ammonium) cis-di-chlorido-bis(oxalato-κ2 O 1,O 2)stannate(IV).

The organic-inorganic title salt, (C6H16N)2[Sn(C2O4)2Cl2] or ( i Pr2NH2)2[Sn(C2O4)2Cl2], was obtained by reacting bis-(diiso-propyl-ammonium) oxalate with tin(IV) chloride dihydrate in methanol. The SnIV atom is coordinated by two chelating oxalate ligands and two chloride ions in cis positions, giving rise to an [Sn(C2O4)2Cl2]2- anion (point group symmetry 2), with the SnIV atom in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination. The cohesion of the crystal structure is ensured by the formation of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding between (iPr2NH2)+ cations and [SnCl2(C2O4)2]2- anions. This gives rise to an infinite chain structure extending parallel to [101]. The main inter-chain inter-actions are van der Waals forces. The electronic spectrum of the title compound displays only one high intensity band in the UV region assignable to ligand-metal ion charge-transfer (LMCT) transitions. An IR spectrum was also recorded and is discussed.

Synthesis and crystal structure of a new hybrid organic-inorganic material containing neutral mol-ecules, cations and hepta-molybdate anions.

The title compound, hexa-kis-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) hepta-molybdate 2-methyl-1H-imidazole disolvate dihydrate, (C4H7N2)6[Mo7O24]·2C4H6N2·2H2O, was prepared from 2-methyl-imidazole and ammonium hepta-molybdate tetra-hydrate in acid solution. The [Mo7O24]6- hepta-molybdate cluster anion is accompanied by six protonated (C4H7N2)+ 2-methyl-imidazolium cations, two neutral C4H6N2 2-methyl-imidazole mol-ecules and two water mol-ecules of crystallization. The cluster consists of seven distorted MoO6 octa-hedra sharing edges or vertices. In the crystal, the components are linked by N-H⋯N, N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O, N-H⋯(O,O) and O-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network. Weak C-H⋯O inter-actions consolidate the packing.

Crystal structure of bis-(diiso-propyl-ammonium) molybdate.

The organic-inorganic title salt, (C6H16N)2[MoO4] or ( i Pr2NH2)2[MoO4], was obtained by reacting MoO3 with diiso-propyl-amine in a 1:2 molar ratio in water. The molybdate anion is located on a twofold rotation axis and exhibits a slightly distorted tetra-hedral configuration. In the crystal structure, the diiso-propyl-ammmonium ( i Pr2NH2)+ cations and [MoO4]2- anions are linked to each other through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating rings with R 12 12(36) motifs that give rise to the formation of a three-dimensional network. The structure was refined taking into account inversion twinning (ratio of ca 4:1 between the two domains).

Crystal structure of bis-(diiso-propyl-ammonium) cis-di-iodido-bis-(oxolato-κ2O1,O2)stannate(IV).

In the title compound, (iPr2NH2)2[SnI2(C2O4)2], which was prepared by reacting ( i Pr2NH2+)2·C2O42- with SnI4 in a 2:1 molar ratio in a mixed ethanol-aceto-nitrile solvent, the Sn atom is coordinated by two chelating oxalate ions and two iodide ions, with the latter in a cis configuration. In the crystal, the cations are linked to the anions by N-H⋯O and bifurcated N-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, generating [10-1] chains.
