[N-(2-Hydroxy­ethyl)ethyl­enediamine]oxalatocopper(II)

In the title mononuclear copper(II) compound, [Cu(C2O4)(C4H12N2O)], the CuII ion has a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry, with a tridentate N-(2-hydroxy­ethyl)ethyl­enediamine (HydEt-en) and a bidentate oxalate (ox) ligand. The N atoms of the HydEt-en ligand and the O atoms of ox ligand form the basal plane, while the O atom of the ethanol group of the HydEt-en ligand is located in the axial position. The complex mol­ecules participate in a supra­molecular assembly through N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between HydEt-en and ox ligands

Bis(propane-1,3-diamine)­disaccharinatonickel(II)

In the title complex, [Ni(C7H4NO3S)2(C3H10N2)2] or [Ni(sac)2(pen)2] (sac = saccharinate or 1,1,3-trioxo-2,3-dihydro-1λ6,2-benzothia­zol-2-ide and pen = propane-1,3-diamine), the NiII ion sits on an inversion center, being coordinated by two N atoms of the sac ligands, which occupy trans positions, and four N atoms of the bidentate pen ligands to define a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The pen ligands chelate the metal ion, forming a six-membered ring which adopts a half-chair conformation, while the sac ligands adopt the most common coordination mode. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which form a one-dimensional network along [010]. It is also supported by an N—H⋯S hydrogen bond between the amine group of the pen ligand and the sulfonyl group of the sac ligand
