The title compound, {[Co2(C15H14N4O3)2(C5H5N)4(H2O)2]ClO4·3.66H2O}n, is a one-dimensional coordination polymer, with both CoII and CoIII centres in its structure. The ligand environment surrounding CoIII is formed by two N,N-chelating pyrazole-containing ligands and two pyridine mol­ecules in axial positions. The high-spin CoII ions, situated at crystallographic centres of inversion, exhibit a distorted octa­hedral coordination mode. The ClO4 − anion is linked to the polymer chain via hydrogen bonds. The chains are connected by hydrogen bonds to produce a three-dimensional structure

Dibromidobis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-κN 2)cobalt(II)

In the mononuclear title complex, [CoBr2(C5H8N2)2], the CoII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two monodentate 3,5-dimethyl­pyrazole ligands and two Br atoms in a highly distorted tetra­hedral geometry. In the crystal, the complex mol­ecules are linked by inter­molecular N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds into chains along [101]. An intra­molecular N—H⋯Br hydrogen bond is also present

1-{3-[1-(Hydroxyimino)ethyl]-4-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl}ethanone

In the title compound, C8H11N3O2, the oxime and the acetyl groups adopt a transoid conformation, while the pyrazole H atom is localized in the proximity of the acetyl group and is cis with respect to the acetyl O atom. In the crystal, dimers are formed as the result of hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the pyrazole NH group of one molecule and the carbonyl O atom of another. The dimers are associated into sheets via O—H...N hydrogen bonds involving the oxime hydroxyl and the unprotonated pyrazole N atom, generating a macrocyclic motif with six molecules

Bis{4-[(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)selanyl]-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-2-ium} chloride monohydrate

In the title compound, 2C10H15N4Se+·Cl−·OH−, a singly protonated molecule of the organic selenide participates in hydrogen bonding with neighboring molecules, forming zigzag chains along [001]. The molecule adapts a cis bridging mode with a C—Se—C angle of 102.13 (15)°. π–π stacking interactions are observed between the closest pyrazole rings of neighboring chains [centroid–centroid distance = 3.888 (1) Å] and hydrogen bonding occurs through bridging chloride anions and hydroxide groups. Additionally, O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds are formed

Novel pyrazolate-based copper(II) [2 x 2] grid complexes: Synthesis, structure and properties

5-Acetyl-substituted pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (H2L) forms [2 x 2] grid-like tetranuclear Cu(II) complexes with four five-coordinated copper(II) ions bridged by pyrazolate groups. Despite a significant dissociation of [Cu4L4(H2O)(4)]center dot 4H(2)O (1) in aqueous solution(1), it was possible to substitute the coordinated water molecules by pyridine ligands or azide anions. The resulting tetranuclear complexes [Cu4L4Py4]center dot 2H(2)O (2) and Na-4[Cu4L4(N-3)(4)]center dot 7MeOH (3) were isolated and studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. In 2 and 3 the azide anions or pyridine molecules complete the distorted square-pyramidal coordination of each copper(II) center. Magnetic susceptibilities of the obtained compounds have been measured by SQUID techniques. Simulation of the data using a Heisenberg spin Hamiltonian approach showed that the bridges between the metals mediate weak intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling (J in the range -13.3 to -17.1 cm (1)) and lead to a singlet ground state in all cases.

Zinc(II) Complexes with Asymmetric 3,5-Substituted 1H-Pyrazoles

Two new pyrazolate-based ligands, N'-[1-(3-acetyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)ethylidene]-2-(hydroxyimino)propanehydrazide (L1) and 5-[(E)-1-(2-{(E)-2-(hydroxyimino}propanoyl}hydrazono)ethyl]-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (L2), were synthesized and studied for zinc(II) complexation. A set of pH-dependent UV/Vis measurements has been performed to determine the complex formation properties of L2. According to the calculations, in solution, L2 forms variously protonated mononuclear (ZnII/L2 = 1:1) and dinuclear (ZnII/L2 = 2:1) complexes. The reaction of the deprotonated ligands with hydrated ZnII salts and slow diffusion of ammonia into the reaction mixtures gave mononuclear [Zn(L1-2H)(NH3)2]center dot DMF (1) and trinuclear mu-pyrazolato-bridged [Zn3(L2-3H)2(NH3)5]center dot 4H2O (3). In both complexes, the zinc ions are in the same distorted trigonal-bipyramidal environment, coordinated to two nitrogen atoms of the ammonia and one oxygen and two nitrogen atoms of the pyrazolate and hydrazide groups. The molecular structures of all of the ligands and complexes have been elucidated by X-ray crystallography
