The present study aims at the integration of the "oxalic conversion" route into "green chemistry" for the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) with controllable structural, morphological, and magnetic properties. Two oxalate-containing precursors (HCO.2HO and (NH)CO.

The title organic-inorganic hybrid salt, (C7H11N2)2[V(C2O4)2O(H2O)]·2H2O, shows a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment for the vanadium(IV) atom in the anion (point group symmetry 2), with four O atoms from two symmetry-related chelating oxalate dianions and two O atoms in trans configuration from a coordinating water mol-ecule and a terminal vanadyl O atom. In the crystal, (001) layers of cations and anions alternate along [001]. The anionic layers are built up by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the coordinating and solvent water mol-ecules.

As part of our studies on the synthesis and the characterization of oxalate-bridged compounds M-ox-M (ox = oxalate dianion and M = transition metal ion), we report the crystal structure of a new oxalate-bridged Mn(II) phase, {(CH6N3)[Mn(C2O4)Cl(H2O)]·H2O} n . In the compound, a succession of Mn(II) ions (situated on inversion centers) adopting a distorted octa-hedral coordination and bridged by oxalate ligands forms parallel zigzag chains running along the c axis. These chains are inter-connected through O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions to form anionic layers parallel to (010).

In the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, (C3H5N2)[Cr(C2O4)2(H2O)2]·2H2O, the complete cation is generated by a crystallographic twofold rotation axis, with one C atom lying on the rotation axis. The complete anion is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry (Cr(III) site symmetry -1), to generate a slightly distorted CrO6 octa-hedron with trans water mol-ecules and chelating oxalate dianions. The oxalate ion is almost planar (r.

In the structure of the title compound, (C₅H₇N₂)[Cr(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂], two crystallographically independent formula units are present. Both chromium atoms are six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by two chelating equatorial oxalato ligands and two axial water mol-ecules. The [Cr(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]⁻ anions and C₅H₇N₂ ⁺ cations are linked through a complex three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network consisting of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O inter-actions.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C(5)H(6)ClN(2))[Cr(C(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·1.5H(2)O, the Cr(III) atom adopts a distorted octa-hedral geometry being coordinated by two O atoms of two cis water mol-ecules and four O atoms from two chelating oxalate dianions. The cis-diaqua-dioxalatochromate(III) anions, 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridinium cations and uncoordinated water mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional supra-molecular array by O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

In the non-centrosymmetric structure of the title compound, (C(5)H(7)N(2))[Cr(C(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O, the Cr(III) ion has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment defined by two chelating oxalato ligands in equatorial positions and two water mol-ecules in axial positions. An extensive three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds involving all the water mol-ecules, the 4-amino-pyridinium cation and some of the oxalate O atoms contributes to the stabilization of the structure. π-π inter-actions between adjacent pyridine rings provide additional stability of the crystal packing, with a closest distance between pyridine mean planes of 3.
