Descripción: The title complex, aqua(2,2′-bipyridy-N,N′(3-thiapentanedioate-O,S,O′)zinc(II) tetrahydrate, [Zn(C4H4-O4S)(C10H8N 2)(H2O)].4H2O, is mononuclear with a coordination sphere consisting of one S, two N and three O atoms. The Zn atom is linked to a tridentate thiodiacetate ligand, a bidentate 2,2′-bipyridine ligand and an aqua ligand resulting in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The molecular units are linked together in the crystal by an extensive hydrogen-bonding network and by intermolecular S⋯S interactions.

Descripción: A new polymeric phase of zinc(II) oxydiacetate, catena-poly[[[diaquazinc(II)]-μ-oxydiacetato] hydrate], {[Zn(C4H4-O5)(H2O)2] ·H2O}n, isomorphous with the Co homologue [Hatfield, Helms, Rohrs, Singh, Wasson & Weller (1987). Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. Chem. Sci. 98, 23-31], is reported. It presents a chain-like structure, generated by ZnO6 cores which are bridged by carboxylate groups in an anti-anti conformation along the unique crystallographic b axis. The chains are held together through hydrogen-bonding interactions with the three water molecules.

Descripción: The title compound, catena-poly[[tetrakis(μ-decanoato- κ2O:O′)-diruthenium(II, III) (Ru - Ru)]- μ-octanesulfonato-κ2O:O′], [Ru2(C10H19O2)4 (C8H17O3S)], is an octanesulfonate derivative of the mixed-valence complex diruthenium tetradecanoate. The equatorial carboxylate ligands are bidentate, bridging two Ru atoms to form a dinuclear structure. Each of the two independent dinuclear metal complexes in the asymmetric unit is located at an inversion centre. The octanesulfonate anion bridges the two dinuclear units through axial coordination. The alkyl chains of the carboxylate and sulfonate ligands are arranged in a parallel manner. The global structure can be seen as infinite chains of polar moieties separated by a double layer of non-polar alkyl groups, without interdigitation of the alkyl chains.

Descripción: The title compounds, tetraphenylphosphonium chlorobis(diethyldithiocarbamato-S,S)cadmium(II), (C24H20P)-[CdCl(C5H10NS 2)2], (1), and tetraphenylphosphonium bromobis(diethyldithiocarbamato-S,S)cadmium(II), (C24-H20P)[CdBr(C5H10NS 2)2], (2), are isomorphous. The compexes are mononuclear with coordination spheres of the types S4Cl and S4Br, respectively. The central Cd atom is linked to four S atoms and two bidentate dithiocarbamate ligands and to the halide atom. The resulting Cd-atom coordination geometry is halfway between trigonal bipyrimidal and square pyramidal. Principal dimensions include: Cd-S 2.573 (1)-2.682 (1) in (1) and 2.571 (3)-2.736 (2) Å in (2); Cd-Cl and Cd-Br 2.462 (1) and 2.626 (1) Å, respectively.
