Synthesis, characterization and ferromagnetic behavior of [Co^III(en)₂(RC₆H₄NH₂)I]I₂.H₂O complexes

171-175Mixed ligand cobalt(III) complexes containing aryl amine (RC6H4NH2) ligand have been synthesized using a modified route developed in this study. A wide range of complexes, [CoIII(en)2(L)I]I2.H2O, (where L = RC6H4NH2; R = m-OMe, p-F, H, m-Me, p-Me, p-OEt and p-OMe) show promising reactivities and physical properties due to the presence of electron donor/acceptor groups in the aryl ligand. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-vis and powder X-ray diffraction patterns. FT-IR ν(M-X) and UV-vis spectral data are compatible with trans-form of the complexes. Magnetic studies yield magnetic remanence Mr = 7.071 ´ 10-3 – 3.069 ´ 10-5 emu/g and intrinsic coercivity, -Hci = 141-1156 Oe. Linear regression plot of Mr versus σ yields negative slope, implying that electron withdrawing group in RC6H4NH2 (σ > 0) enhances ferromagnetic character while the electron donating groups (σ 6H4NH2 ligand illustrate a simple molecular fabrication technique, which can be suitably integrated into a system, to have some control on the behavior of metal complexes. A modified ferromagnetic character due to charge build up on the metal centre by ligating nitrogen atom, which in turn makes the molecule into a centre of systematic variation in magnetization, has been observed

cis-Diaquatetrakis(1-butyl-1H-imidazole-κN3)nickel(II) dichloride

In the title compound, [Ni(C7H12N2)4(H2O)2]Cl2, the nickel(II) ion has a distorted octahedral coordination environment. It is surrounded by three N atoms and one O atom occupying the equatorial plane, and one N and one O atom in the axial positions. The imidazole ring systems are inclined to one another with dihedral angles varying between 38.3 (4) and 74.1 (4)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds involving one Cl− anion and the water molecule in the equatorial plane, forming an inversion dimer-like arrangement. The water molecule in the axial position is hydrogen-bonded to both Cl− anions. There are also a number of C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds present, forming a three-dimensional structure. All four alkyl chains are disordered over two positions with refined occupancy ratios of 0.395 (15):0.605 (15), 0.658 (14):0.342 (14), 0.332 (11):0.668 (11) and 0.622 (12):0.378 (12)

In the title compound, [Cu(ClO4)(C3H10N2)2(H2O)]ClO4, the CuII atom has a distorted octahedral coordination sphere and is coordinated by the N atoms of two propane-1,3-diamine ligands in the equatorial plane. The axial positions are occupied by a water O atom and an O atom of a disordered perchlorate anion [occupancy ratio 0.631 (9):0.369 (9)]. In the crystal, the various components are linked via O—H...O, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets lying parallel to (001)

In the crystal, the complex cation and the two counter anions are linked via N—H...Br and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network

The title molecule, [CoCl2(C5H5N)2(H2O)2], has -1 symmetry with the CoII ion situated on an inversion centre. The cation has a distorted octahedral coordination environment and is surrounded by two N and two Cl atoms in the equatorial plane, while the coordinating water O atoms occupy the axial positions. The crystal exhibits nonmerohedral twinning with two domain states, the volume fractions of which were refined to 0.883 (2) and 0.117 (3). The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H...Cl hydrogen-bond interactions, forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (001). The crystal packing also features π–π interactions between the pyridine rings, with centroid–centroid separations of 3.493 (3) and 3.545 (3) Å

catena-Poly[[[bis(1H-imidazole-κN3)zinc(II)]-μ2-imidazol-1-ido-κ2N:N′] nitrate]

The title compound, {[Zn(C3H3N2)(C3H4N2)2]NO3}n, is a one-dimensional coordination polymer along [01-1] with the ZnII atom coordinating to four imidazole/imidazolide rings. The ZnII atom has a regular tetrahedral geometry with the planes of the two monodentate imidazole rings inclined to one another by 87.94 (17)°, while the planes of the bridging imidazolide rings are inclined to one another by 39.06 (17)°. In the crystal, the chains are linked via bifurcated N—H...(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (001). These two-dimensional networks are linked via C—H...O hydrogen bonds and a C—H...π interaction, forming a three-dimensional structure
