Crystal structures of nitrato-{4-bromo-2-[(2-hydroxyethylimion)methyl] phenolo}-(3,5-dibromopyridine)copper and nitrato-{2,4-dibromo-6-[(2- hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenolo}-(3,5-dibromopyridine)copper. În: Russian Journal of Coordination Chemistry/Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, 2006, vol. 32, pp. 744-750. ISSN 1070-32841070-3284https://msuir.usm.md/handle/123456789/11461https://doi.org/10.1134/S1070328406100083The crystal structures of nitrato-{4-bromo-2-[2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl] phenolo}-(3,5-dibromopyridine)copper (I) and nitrato-{2,4-dibromo-6-[(2- hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenolo}-(3,5-dibromopyridine)copper (II) are determined. The crystals of compound I are orthorhombic: a = 14.157(3) Å, b = 15.420(3) Å, c = 17.494(4) Å, space group Pbca, Z = 8, R = 0.067. The crystals of compound II are monoclinic: a = 10.675 Å, b = 13.973 Å, c = 14.007 Å, β = 111.92°, space group P2 1/n, Z = 4, R = 0.0464. In the structures of compounds I and II, the copper atom coordinates, correspondingly, singly deprotonated 4-bromo-2-[(2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenol and 2,4-dibromo-6-[(2- hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenol molecules, and 3,5-dibromopyridine, and the nitrate ion. The coordination polyhedron of the copper ion in complexes I and II is a slightly distorted tetragonal pyramid. The bases of the pyramids are formed by the imine and pyridine nitrogen atoms and the phenolic and alcoholic oxygen atoms, and the axial vertices are occupied by the oxygen atoms of the monodentate nitrato groups. In the complexes under study, the six-membered metallocycles have asymmetric gauche conformation. In crystal, complexes I are united, due to the slip plane a, through bifurcate hydrogen bonds into infinite chains along the direction [100]. Complexes II in crystal form two-dimensional networks by means of hydrogen bonds.enEngineering controlled terms ComplexationHydrogen bondsmolecular structureOrganic compounds Engineering uncontrolled terms Gauche conformationMetallocycles Engineering main heading Crystal structureArticle
