Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of a cadmium complex of naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate and o-phenylenediamine
A novel o-phenylenediamine (opda)-based cadmium complex, bis(benzene-1,2-diamine- κ 2N,N ′ )bis(benzene-1,2-diamine- κ N)cadmium(II) naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate, [Cd(C6H8N2)4](C10H6O6S2), was synthesized. The complex salt crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. The Cd atom occupies a special position and coordinates six nitrogen atoms from four o-phenylenediamine molecules, two as chelating ligands and two as monodentate ligands. The amino H atoms of opda interact with two O atoms of the naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate anions. The anions act as bridges between [Cd(opda)4]2+ cations, forming a two-dimensional netwo...

Crystal structures of the isotypic complexes bis(morpholine)gold(I) chloride and bis(morpholine)gold(I) bromide
The compounds bis(morpholine- κ N)gold(I) chloride, [Au(C4H9NO)2]Cl, 1, and bis(morpholine- κ N)gold(I) bromide, [Au(C4H9NO)2]Br, 2, crystallize isotypically in space group C2/c with Z = 4. The gold atoms, which are axially positioned at the morpholine rings, lie on inversion centres (so that the N — Au — N coordination is exactly linear) and the halide anions on twofold axes. The residues are connected by a classical hydrogen bond N — H...halide and by a short gold...halide contact to form a layer structure parallel to the bc plane. The morpholine oxygen atom is not involved in classical hydrogen bonding. (Source:...
