The reactions of metal(II) chlorides and bromides with 2-amino-5-bromopyrimidine (2-abpm) in neutral and acidic solution were investigated. The reaction with ZnCl 2 , ZnBr 2 , CoCl 2 , CoBr 2 and MnCl 2 in acidic nitromethane solution gave complexes of the formula (2-abpmH) 2 Crystals of 1 and 3 suitable for single crystal X-ray diffraction were obtained. Crystal data: For (1): triclinic, P-1, a ¼ 6.2485 (13), b ¼ 9.0520(14), c ¼ 15.334(4) Å , ¼ 94.81(2), ¼ 95.224(17), ¼ 98.027(17) , V ¼ 851.1(3) Å 3 , Z ¼ 2, R ¼ 0.0596 for [|I| ! 2(I)]. For (3): triclinic, P-1, a ¼ 6.2438(13), b ¼ 9.0597(15), c ¼ 15.318(3) Å , ¼ 94.749(18), ¼ 95.343(15), ¼ 98.021(17) , V ¼ 850.2(3) Å 3 , Z ¼ 2, R ¼ 0.0452 for [|I| ! 2(I )]. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data indicates weak antiferromagnetic interactions in the cobalt and manganese complexes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
