RESUMO
Pyrazole (pz)-derived ligands can, besides exhibiting a strong coordination ability toward different metal ions, exhibit a great diversity in their coordination geometry and nuclearity, which can be achieved by varying the type and position of the pz substituents. The present study reports the synthesis and crystal structure of two binuclear complexes, namely bis(µ-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-ide-5-carboxylato)-κ3N1,O:N2;κ3N2:N1,O-bis[aqua(dimethylformamide-κO)copper(II)], [Cu2(C4HN3O4)2(C3H7NO)2(H2O)2], (II), and bis(µ-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-ide-5-carboxylato)-κ2N1,O:N2;κ2N2:N1,O-bis[triaquacobalt(II)] dihydrate, [Co2(C4HN3O4)2(H2O)6]·2H2O, (III). These compounds represent rare examples of metal complexes comprising 3,4-substituted pz derivatives as a bridging ligand and also the first crystal structures of transition-metal complexes with ligands derived from 4-nitropyrazole-3-carboxylic acid. Recently, the crystal structures of the same ligand in the neutral and mixed neutral/anionic forms have been reported. We present here the third form of this ligand, where it is present in a fully deprotonated anionic form within a salt, i.e. ammonium 4-nitropyrazole-3-carboxylate, NH4+·C4H2N3O4-, (I). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that in the present complexes, the CuII and CoII centres adopt distorted square-pyramidal and octahedral geometries, respectively. In both cases, the N,N',O-coordinated pz ligand shows simultaneously chelating and bridging coordination modes, leading to the formation of a nearly planar six-membered M2N4 metallocycle. In all three crystal structures, the supramolecular arrangement is controlled by strong hydrogen bonds which primarily engage the carboxylate O atoms as acceptors, while the nitro group adopts the role of an acceptor only in structures with an increased number of donors, as is the case with CoII complex (III). The electrostatic potential, as a descriptor of reactivity, was also calculated in order to examine the changes in ligand electrostatic preferences upon coordination to metal ions.
RESUMO
In the title compound, C9H11Cl2NO3, the six-membered ring adopts a screw-chair conformation. In the crystal, two different C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds involving the same acceptor atom connect the mol-ecules into a chain extending along the c-axis direction.
RESUMO
The title Cu(II) complex, [Cu2(NCS)4(C6H10N4)2], represents the first crystal structure of a polynuclear transition metal complex with the 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine ligand (HL). It is compared with previously reported crystal structures of metal complexes with the same HL ligand. The molecule contains an eight-membered binuclear Cu2(NCS)2 ring, which is centrosymmetric and in a chair conformation. The Cu atom has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with a very elongated Cu-S bond of 2.993 (2) A. The crystal structure redetermination of the bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine-kappa(2)N,N')bis(nitrato-kappaO)copper(II)complex, [Cu(NO3)2(C6H10N4)2], and analysis of its hydrogen bonds confirm the significance of the NO3 groups in the formation of a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network. Both complexes are centrosymmetric, the inversion centre being located at the mid-point of the Cu...Cu line in (I) and the Cu atom being located at the inversion centre in (II).
RESUMO
In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Co(C(6)H(8)N(3)S)(3)], the Co(III) atom is octahedrally coordinated by three monodeprotonated bidentate 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-thiocarboxamide ligands with two thiocarboxamide N atoms in axial positions. The asymmetric unit contains two molecules (A and B) and these molecules are arranged in chains in an alternating fashion connected by N-H...S interactions.
