A series of six novel mononuclear, binuclear and linear one-dimensional (1D) compounds of copper(II) with chloranilic acid (3,6-dichloro-2,5-dihydroxybenzoquinone, H2CA) is prepared and a design strategy for the preparation of such complexes is discussed. Four described compounds are linear 1D coordination polymers [Cu(CA)]n, whereas another two involve a binuclear and a mononuclear, Cu2(CA)3 a...

The structures of the solvated zinc ion and the solvated zinc-iodide complexes in methanol solution have been determined by EXAFS. The zinc ion is six-coordinated in an octahedral fashion with a mean Zn-O bond distance of 2.071(4) Å. According to the stability constants of the zinc-iodide system in methanol solution the first complex, ZnI+, is suppressed, which may indicate that a coordination ...

An X-ray crystallographic study demonstrated that the tris complex of Al3+ with 2-methyl-8-quinolinol (Hmq), [Al(mq)3], had a discrete octahedral geometry in a meridional configuration with respect to mq-; the Al-N bonds were appreciably elongated. In organic solvents, the complex reacted with water to give a lower species of a mu-oxo dimer, [Al2O(mq)4], and a protonated ligand, depending on th...

A six-coordinate manganese (II) complex with the tripod ligand tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine (ntb), with composition [Mn(ntb) (4-hydroxycinnamate)](4-hydroxycinnamate) · (DMF)0.5 · (H2O)3, was synthesized and characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, electrical conductivity, IR, and UV/vis spectral measurements. The crystal structure of the complex has been determined by the single-c...

Abstract Triethylammonium dichloro[ N -[(2-oxyphenyl)methylidene]valinato]-phenyl-tin( iv ) was prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods single crystal X-ray crystallography. The compound consists of a triethylammonium cation tin complex as anion. is composed tridentate O,N,O -Schiff base ligand coordinated to SnCl 2 Ph unit. atom in distorted octahedral coordination geometry. NMR st...

The resurgence of the molten-salt nuclear reactors (MSRs) creates interesting problems in chemistry. As MSRs operate, composition and physical properties salts change because fission corrosion. Since Cr is principal corrosion product NaCl a common constituent, we studied atomic structure molten NaCl–CrCl3. We found networks CrCl63– octahedra an intermediate-range order with nonmonotonic tempera...

In this paper, we enumerate the parameter matrices of all perfect $2$-colorings of the Platonic graphs consisting of the tetrahedral graph, the cubical graph, the octahedral graph, the dodecahedral graph, and  the icosahedral graph.
