The title complex, {[Mn(C(14)H(8)O(4)S(2))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·0.5CH(3)OH·H(2)O}(n), has a one-dimensional chain structure in which the Mn(II) atom is six-coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands and two O atoms from two 2,2'-dithio-dibenzoate (L) ligands. The L ligands adopt a bis-(monodentate) (syn-anti) coordination mode and bridge adjacent Mn(II) centres, gener...

In the title complex, [Pd(CH(3)COO)(2)(C(10)H(9)N(3))], the Pd(II) ion is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment by two pyridine N atoms of the chelating di-2-pyridyl-amine (dpa) ligand and two O atoms from two anionic acetate ligands. The dpa ligand coordinates the Pd(II) atom in a boat conformation of the resulting chelate ring; the dihedral angle between the pyrid...

The mol-ecule of the title Cu(II) complex, [Cu(C7H4ClO2)2(C6H6N2O)2], contains two 3-chloro-benzoate (CB) and two nicotinamide (NA) ligands; the CB act as bidentate ligands, while the NA are monodentate ligands. The resulting CuN2O4 coordination polyhedron is a considerably distorted octahedron. The dihedral angles between the carboxyl-ate groups and the adjacent benzene rings are 17.92 (12) an...

Control over the integrative self-sorting of metallo-supramolecular assemblies opens up possibilities for introducing increased complexity and function into a single self-assembled architecture. Herein, the relationship between the geometry of three ligand components and morphology of three self-sorted heteroleptic [Pd2 L2 L'2 ]4+ cages is examined. Pd-mediated assembly of two bis-monodentate p...

The title Mn(II) complex, [Mn(C(7)H(4)BrO(2))(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], is centrosymmetric. The mol-ecule contains two 2-bromo-benzoate (BB) and two diethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligands and two water mol-ecules, all ligands being monodentate. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the Mn atom form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement, while the distorted octa-hedral c...

In the title complex, [Ni(C8H5N5O3)(C2H8N2)(C3N2H4)]·2H2O, a tridentate 2-amino-7-methyl-4-oxidopteridine-6-carboxyl-ate (pterin) ligand, a bidentate ancillary ethane-1,2-diamine (en) ligand and a monodentate 1H-imidazole (im) ligand complete a distorted octa-hedral geometry around the Ni(II) atom. The pterin ligand forms two chelate rings. Both the en and im ligands are arranged nearly orthogo...
