micro-Oxo-bis{{2,2'-[2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}oxorhenium(V)}.

The title compound, [Re(2)O(3)(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(2))(2)], is a hexacoordinate complex containing an [Re(2)O(3)](4+) core with a linear O=Re-O-Re=O bridge. The distorted octahedral coordination of the Re(V) atom is achieved by an N(2)O(2) donor set from the tetradentate imine-phenol ligand. The overall charge of the compound is neutral due to deprotonation of the phenol groups, and the terminating and bridging O atoms.

Zn(II)-induced ground-state pi-deconjugation and excited-state electron transfer in N,N-bis(2-pyridyl)amino-substituted arenes.

The synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of two N,N-bis(2-pyridyl)amino (dpa)-substituted aromatic systems (Ar-dpa) 1 (Ar = 4,4'-disubstituted trans-stilbene) and 2 (Ar = 1,4-disubstituted benzene) and their ZnCl(2) complexes (1/ZnCl(2) and 2/ZnCl(2)) are reported. The fluoroionophoric behavior of 1-2 in response to Zn(II) in acetonitrile also has been investigated. In addition, compound 3DPA has been prepared and served as a pi-deconjugated model for 1DPA.

Cs2Pd3(P2O7)2 and Cs2Pd3(As2O7)2: a 3D palladium phosphate with a tunnel structure and a 2D palladium arsenate containing strings of palladium atoms.

Cs(2)Pd(3)(P(2)O(7))(2) (1) and Cs(2)Pd(3)(As(2)O(7))(2) (2) have been synthesized by molten flux reactions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 1 consists of discrete Pd(II)O(4) squares which are linked by P(2)O(7) groups via corner-sharing to generate a 3D framework containing 12-ring channels in which Cs(+) cations are located. Compound 2 adopts a 2D layer structure with the interlayer space filled with Cs(+) cations.

The title compound, C(10)H(18)N(2)S(2), acts as an important precursor for the synthesis of the pharmaceutically important diaminedithiol ligand system. The molecule has a local twofold axis and the arrangement of the S(2)N(2) donor atoms in the macrocycle is anticlinal.

A zeolitic organo-metallophosphate hybrid material with bimodal porosity.

The first metal carboxylatophosphate, NTHU-2, contains inorganic ZnHPO4 layers linked by BDC units (BDC = 1,4-benzene dicarboxylate or terephthalic anion); the three-dimensional anionic framework has large pores with the smallest diameter being 1.36 nm; N2 sorption isotherms reveal both micro- and mesoporosity; the new material is photoluminescent and disassembles in water wherein the discharged organic fragments form mixed crystals.

Crystal structure of bromo(2,2':6',2"-terpyridine)(2-(phenylazo)-pyridine)ruthenium(II) tetrafluoroborate.

The title compound, C26H20N6BrRu(BF4), crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P2(1)/n and consists of discrete complex units. The Ru(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated to one 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine (tpy), one 2-(phenylazo)pyridine (azpy) and a Br atom in trans-axial position at a distance of 2.547(5)A.

Crystal structure of (1,10-phenanthroline-N,N')(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N",N"')nickel(II) diperchlorate.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C8H20N4)(C12H8N2)](ClO4)2, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The Ni(II) ion is six coordinated with four nitrogen atoms of the tetradentate macrocyclic ligand and two nitrogen atoms of the bidentate ligand in a distorted octahedron geometry. The folded tetradentate macrocyclic ligand adopts a configuration having four five-membered chelate rings in distorted eclipsed conformations.

Crystal structure of (2,2'-bipyridine-N,N)(2,2',2''-triaminotriethylamine-N,N',N'',N''')nickel(II) diperchlorate.

An X-ray structure determination shows that the Ni(II) ion is a distorted six-coordinated octahedron by four nitrogen atoms of the tetradentate tren ligand constituting the equatorial square base, and by two nitrogen atoms of the bidentate bpy ligand in a cis position. The two six-membered rings of bpy are coplanar and almost pararell. The tetradentate ligand consists of three five-membered chelate rings in gauche coformations.
