The title compound, [Co(2)Cl(4)(C(7)H(8)N(4))(2)], contains a dinuclear complex molecule in which each Co(II) atom is tetra-hedrally coordinated by two N atoms and two chloride ions. The 1,1'-methyl-enebis(1H-imidazole) ligands adopt a bis-monodentate bridging mode linking two Co(II) atoms.

The efficiency of multidentate ligands as digestive ripening (DR) agents for the preparation of monodisperse Au nanoparticles (NPs) was investigated. This systematic investigation was performed using ligands possessing one, two, or three thiol moieties as ligands/DR agents. Our results clearly establish that among the different ligands, monodentate ligands and the use of temperature in the rang...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Zn(C₁₆H₁₆O₄Si)(C₁₂H₁₀N₄)]·H(2)O}(n), consists of one Zn(II) ion, two half 3,3'-(dimethyl-silanedi-yl)dibenzoate ligands and two half 1,1'-(1,4-phenyl-ene)di-1H-imidazole ligands. The Zn(II) ion is four-coordinated by two O atoms from two carboxlate ligands, two N atoms from two imidazole ligands. Two Zn(II) ions are bridged by two carboxyl-ate groups...

In the title layered coordination polymer, {[Cd(C(17)H(18)F(2)N(3)O(3))(C(8)H(4)O(4))]·3H(2)O}(n), the Cd(II) atom exhibits a very distorted CdO(6) octa-hedral geometry defined by one O(3),O(4)-bidentate 1-ethyl-6,8-difluoro-7-(3-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxyl-ate (lome) ligand, one O,O'-bidentate benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate (bdc) dianion and two O-monodentate bdc ...

In the title compound, {(C(16)H(22)N(4))[Co(C(10)H(2)O(8))(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O}(n), the octa-hedrally coordinated Co(II) atom is situated on an inversion center and possesses four aqua ligands. The Co atoms are linked into an anionic coordination polymer chain by bis-monodentate pyromellitate ligands. The chain motifs are connected into a supra-molecular layer by hydrogen bonding mediated by unco...

The title complex, [Cu(2)(CH(3)COO)(4)(C(16)H(11)N(3))(2)], lies on an inversion centre, with four acetate ligands bridging two symmetry-related Cu(II) ions and two monodentate 9-(pyrazin-2-yl)-9H-carbazole ligands coordinating each Cu(II) ion via the N atoms of the pyrazine rings, forming slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometries. There are weak π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyrr...

In the title compound, [Ni(C(7)H(4)N(3)O(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·CH(3)OH, the Ni(II) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted N(6) octa-hedral geometry and is chelated by two phenanthroline ligands and two phenyl-cyanamide groups which occupy cis positions. The (4-nitro-phen-yl)cyanamide anions act as monodentate ligands. There is one classical inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond and several C-...

In the title compound, [Ru(3)(C(6)H(12)Cl(3)O(3)P)(C(29)H(30)P(2))(CO)(9)], the bis-(di-o-tolyl-phosphan-yl)methane ligand bridges one Ru-Ru bond and the monodentate phosphite ligand bonds to the third Ru atom. Both ligands are equatorial with respect to the Ru(3) triangle. Each Ru atom bears one equatorial and two axial terminal carbonyl ligands. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rin...

In the title triangulo-triruthenium(0) compound, [Ru(3)(C(25)H(22)As(2))(C(6)H(12)Cl(3)O(3)P)(CO)(9)], the bis-(diphenyl-arsino)methane ligand bridges an Ru-Ru bond and the monodentate phosphine ligand bonds to the third Ru atom. Both the arsine and phosphine ligands are equatorial with respect to the Ru(3) triangle. In addition, each Ru atom carries one equatorial and two axial terminal carbon...

In the title compound, [Ni(C8H6ClO3)2(H2O)4], the Ni(II) ion is located on a crystallographic inversion centre and is octa-hedrally coordinated by two 2-(4-chloro-phen-oxy)acetate ligands in axial positions and by four water mol-ecules in the equatorial plane. The acetate ligands are bound to the Ni(II) ion in a monodentate manner through a carboxyl-ate O atom. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bo...
