μ-Carbonato-bis(bis{2-[(diethylamino)methyl]phenyl}bismuth(III))
The molecular structure of the title compound, [Bi2(C11H16N)4(CO3)], consists of a symmetrically bridging carbonato group which binds two [2-Et2NCH2C6H4]2Bi units that are crystallographically related via a twofold rotation axis bisecting the carbonate group. The two Bi atoms and two of the C atoms directly bonded to bismuth are quasi-planar [deviations of 0.323 (1) and 0.330 (9)Å for the Bi and C atoms, respectively] with the carbonate group. The remaining two ligands are in a trans arrangement relative to the quasi-planar (CBi)2CO3 system. The metal atom is strongly coordinated by the N atom of one pendant arm [Bi—N = 2.739 (6) Å], almost trans to the O atom, while the N atom of the other pendant arm exhibits a weaker intramolecular interaction [Bi⋯N = 3.659 (7) Å] almost trans to a C atom. If both these intramolecular N→Bi interactions per metal atom are considered, the overall coordination geometry at bismuth becomes distorted square-pyramidal [(C,N)2BiO cores] and the compound can be described as a hypervalent 12-Bi-5 species. Additional quite short intramolecular Bi⋯O interactions are also present [3.796 (8)–4.020 (9) Å]. Intermolecular associations through weak η6⋯Bi interactions [Bi⋯centroid of benzene ring = 3.659 (1) Å] lead to a ribbon-like supramolecular association
4-Benzylpiperazin-1-ium chloride chloroform solvate
The ions of the title chloroform-solvated salt, C11H17N2
+·Cl−·CHCl3, are linked by a strong N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond; the solvent molecule also interacts with the chloride ion through a C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond. Additionally, neighboring cations form weak hydrogen bonds to the anion, resulting in a supramolecular ribbon that runs along the a axis
