The reactions o f M n(CF3COO)2 (1) with N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen), 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) and triethanolamine (tea) yield three new mononuclear coordination compounds: rra«5-[Mn(tmen)2(CF3COO)2] (2), cw-[Mn(bipy)2(C F3COO)2] (3), and [Mn(tea)2](CF3COO)2 (4). The X-ray structures o f the compounds 2, 3, and 4 are described. The seven-coordination o f the manganese(II) ion in 4,...

In the title complex, (C(10)H(9)N(2))[Pr(C(6)H(2)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(5)], the Pr atom is nine-coordinated by nine O atoms from two pyridazine-4,5-dicarboxyl-ate anions and five water mol-ecules. It is noteworthy that there is a protonated bipyridine mol-ecule in the structure. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds are present, resulting in a three-dimensional network.

The first metal complexes of 2,5-di(2-pyridyl)thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole (5) are described. X-Ray crystal structures are reported for the free ligand 5, a dinuclear copper complex 6 and the two diastereoisomers, 7meso and 7rac, of the dinuclear bis(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium complex. The two diastereoisomers of 7 and the 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine analogue 8 are readily separated by cation excha...

In the tetranuclear centrosymmetric title compound, [Pb(4)(NO(3))(8)(C(11)H(10)N(2))(4)], irregular PbN(2)O(5) and PbN(2)O(4) coordination polyhedra occur. The hepta-coordinated lead(II) ion is bonded to two bidentate and one monodentate nitrate ion and one bidentate 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine (mbpy) ligand. The six-coordinate lead(II) ion is bonded to one bidentate and two monodentate nitrate an...

In the title compound, 2C(8)H(6)O(4)·C(10)H(8)N(2), the 4,4'-bipyridine mol-ecule is located on an inversion centre. In the crystal structure, strong inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the terephthalic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine mol-ecules lead to the formation of chains with graph-set motif C(2) (2)(8) along the diagonal of the bc plane.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C(7)H(2)F(4)O(2)·C(10)H(8)N(2), contains one mol-ecule of 2,3,4,5-tetra-fluoro-benzoic acid (tfb) and half of a centrosymmetric 4,4'-bipyridine mol-ecule. Inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link two tfb mol-ecules and one 4,4'-bipyridine mol-ecule into a trimer. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯F inter-actions assemble these trimers into a three-dimensional...

In the present study, a zinc(II) complex with 4-ethynyl-2,2?-bipyridine (ebpy), [Zn(ebpy)Cl2], was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (1H NMR, IR UV-Vis) methods molar conductivity measurement. The crystal structure of [Zn(ebpy)Cl2] determined single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, confirming bidentate coordination ebpy ligand through its two nitrogen atoms, while remaining site...

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(10)H(8)N(2)·2C(2)H(4)O(2), is built up from 4,4'-bipyridine and acetic acid mol-ecules linked by strong O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The 4,4'-bipyridine and the two acetic acid mol-ecules are further connected through weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a supra-molecular two-dimensional network parallel to the (001) plane. The two pyridine rings make a dihe...

The oxidative decarbonylation of the η(3)-allyl dicarbonyl complexes [Mo(η(3)-C(3)H(5))Cl(CO)(2)(L)] (L = 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) (1), 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (di-tBu-bipy) (2)) by reaction with aqueous tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) or H(2)O(2) gave the following compounds in good to excellent yields: the oxo-bridged dimers [MoO(2)Cl(L)](2)O (L = bipy (3), di-tBu-bipy (6)) using TBHP...
