Crystal structures of 6-[(2-hydroxy-1,1-bishydroxymethylethylamino)methylene]-2,4-dinitrocyclohexa-2,4-dienone hydrate and complexes of copper(II) chloride and copper(II) nitrate with this ligand

摘要

The crystal structures of 6-[(2-hydroxy-1,1-bishydroxymethylethylamino)methylene]-2,4-dinitrocyclohexa-2,4-dienone hydrate L center dot H2O (I), chloro-(2-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol-2-iminomethyl-4,6-dinitrophenolo)aquacopper hydrate [Cu(H2O)(L-H)Cl] center dot H2O (II), and (2-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol-2-iminomethyl-4,6-dinitrophenolo)aquacopper nitrate [Cu(H2O)(L-H)]NO3 (III) are determined using X-ray diffraction. It is established that the salicylidene fragment of azomethine L in the structure of compound I is in a quinoid tautomeric form. In the crystal, molecules L and water molecules are joined together by hydrogen bonds into two-dimensional layers aligned parallel to the (010) plane. The copper atom in the structure of compound II coordinates the singly deprotonated tridentate molecule L (whose salicylidene fragment is in a benzenoid form), the chlorine ion, and the water molecule. The coordination polyhedron of the central copper atom is a distorted tetragonal pyramid. In the structure of compound III, the polymer chains are formed through the coordination bonds of the copper atom with two oxygen atoms of the amino alcohol fragment of azomethine L of the neighboring complex, which is related to the initial complex by the translation along the x axis. The coordination polyhedron of the central atom is an elongated tetragonal bipyramid. Polymers and nitro groups form a three-dimensional framework through hydrogen bonds.
