Abstract
Two complexes, [Cu(salpn)]·NH(CH3)2 (1) and [Ni(salpn)·H2O] (2) (H2salpn=N, N-bis(salicylidene)-propane-1, 3-diamine) were characterized by IR, element analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystal data for complex 1: monoclinic, P21/C, a=1.0974×10-7 cm, b=1.4806×10-7 cm, c=1.0315×10-7 cm, β=94.43(3)°. The Cu (II) ion in complex 1 is four coordinated with distorted square planar coordination geometry. The crystal structure of complex 1 consists of [Cu(salpn)] coordination complex and a guest molecule NH(CH3)2 that can act as both H-bonding donor and acceptor and plays an important role in constructing supramolecular architecture. Crystal structure data for complex 2: orthorhombic, Pnma, a=8.6763×10-8 cm, b=2.4145×10-7 cm, c=7.5388×10-8 cm. The Ni(II) ion in complex 2 is five-coordinated with a butterfly coordination geometry. The coordinated water molecule plays a key role in hydrogen-bonded networks.
