Hydrogen bonding induced lowering of the intra-chain metal–metal distance in single end-on azide bridged one-dimensional copper(II) complexes with tridentate Schiff bases as blocking ligands

Anion directed cation templated synthesis of three ternary copper(II) complexes with a monocondensed N2O donor Schiff base and different pseudohalides

“…Pseudohalides, especially azide, cyanate and thiocyanate, have widely been employed for the syntheses of such systems because of their ability to coordinate metal ions with different modes [21][22][23]. Dicyanamide is sometimes called bent pseudohalide [24][25] and the coordination polymers based on dicyanamide (dca) have also attracted much attention in the past few years for their interesting extended architectures and magnetic properties as well [26-.…”

Mono, di and trinuclear photo-luminescent cadmium(II) complexes with N2O and N2O2 donor salicylidimine Schiff bases: Synthesis, structure and self assembly

“…On the other hand, there have been immense interests in studying supra-molecular structures [21]. The molecular and crystalline architectures of the complexes are modulated by hydrogen bonding [22][23][24][25][26] as well as pÁ Á Áp, C-HÁ Á Áp and anionÁ Á Áp interactions [27][28][29]. In the present work, we have used four different Schiff bases, produced by the condensation of N-substituted-1,2-diaminoethane and salicylaldehyde or its derivatives, to form cadmium(II) complexes.…”

Formation of H-bonding networks in the solid state structure of a trinuclear cobalt(iii/ii/iii) complex with N2O2 donor Schiff base ligand and glutaric acid as bridging co-ligand: synthesis, structure and DFT study

“…[79][80][81][82] Obviously, the most commonly used approach for engineering the supramolecular structure of these complexes is to employ hydrogen bonding. [83][84][85][86][87][88][89] Carboxylate bridged trinuclear mixed valence cobalt(III/II/III) complexes with salen type ligands constitute a special class for their interesting structures and each of synthesis. 28,30,84,90 The complexes could easily be prepared by adding cobalt(II) salt to a salen type ligand in presence of carboxylate co-ligands maintaining either 3 : 2 : 2 or 3 : 2 : 4 molar ratio.…”
