A new cobalt(II) coordination polymer 2 with μ1,5 dicyanamide (dca) and a bidentate ligand 3,5-dimethyl-1-(2'-pyridyl)pyrazole (pypz) is prepared in a stepwise manner using the newly synthesized one-dimensional linear Co(II) coordination polymer 1 as a precursor. The structural and thermal characterizations elucidate that the more stable complex 2 shows a two-dimensional layer structural feature. Here, Co(II) atoms with μ1,5 dicyanamido bridges are linked by the ligand pypz forming a macrocyclic chain that runs along the crystallographic 'c' axis having 'sql' (Shubnikov notation) net topology with a 4-connected uninodal node having point symbol {4(4).6(2)}. The remarkable noncovalent carbon-bonding contacts detected in the X-ray structure of compound 1 are analyzed and characterized by density functional theory calculations and the analysis of electron charge density (atoms in molecules).

In this manuscript we report the synthesis and X-ray characterization of two new Ni(ii) and Cu(ii) complexes using 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine as a ligand and chloride as a coligand.

A new octahedral Ni(II) complex 1 of protonated ligand Htptz+ (tptz: 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine) has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. It is worth of note that the protonated...

Newly synthesized uncommon oxalate bridged Cu(ii) chain of formula [Cu(L)(Ox)2(H2O)]n (2) and a mononuclear Cu(ii) complex [Cu(L)(NO3)2] (1) with uncommon π hole interactions are reported and rationalized using DFT calculations.
