Three 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-based ligands decorated with two pyridyl groups, 4,7-di(2-pyridyl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazol (2-PyBTD), 4,7-di(3-pyridyl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazol (3-PyBTD) and 4,7-di(4-pyridyl)-2,1,3 benzothiadiazol (4-PyBTD), generate ZnII AgI complexes a rich structural variety: [Zn(hfac)2(2-PyBTD)] 1, [Zn2(hfac)4(2-PyBTD)] 2, [Ag(CF3SO3)(2-PyBTD)]23, [Ag(2-PyBTD)]2(SbF6)24, [Ag2(NO3)2...

Reaction of [enM(H2O)2](NO3)2 (en = ethylenediamine, M = PdII, PtII) with 2-hydroxypyrimidine (Hpymo) in water results in self-assembly to cyclic complexes of type [enM(pymo-N1,N3)]4(NO3)4 (1, M = PdII; 2, M = PtII) which are structurally analogous to calix[4]arenes. The tetranuclear cations in compounds 1 and 2 adopt, in the solid state, a 1,3-alternate orientation of the pymo residues. Attemp...

The synthesis, structure, and physical properties of a Heisenberg exchange-coupled cluster containing naphthalene groups are described. [Fe2(O)(O2CCH2C10H7)2(TACN-Me3)2]2+ (3) crystallizes in space group P1 with unit cell parameters a = 12.94(2) A, b = 14.84(2) A, c = 15.23(2) A, alpha = 101.12(7) degrees, beta = 90.8(1) degrees, gamma = 114.14(7) degrees, V = 2605(6) A3, and Z = 2 with R = 0.0...

Incorporation of heavy metal ions in cement hydrates is great interest for the storage and immobilization toxic, hazardous, radioactive wastes using cementitious matrix. Magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) a low pH alternative binder to commonly used Portland cement. Low cements have been considered as promising matrix municipal nuclear waste last decades. It however crucial assure that incorpor...
