All four nitrogen donor atoms of the Me6-TREN ligand coordinate to one lithium center, whose coordination sphere is completed by a chlorine atom locked in a linear Li Cl Li chain.
An attack on the scissile phosphate group, likely by a water/hydroxide coordinated to one of the metal ions, then leads to the hydrolysis.
One carbonyl group of a bridging molecule is coordinated to one Pr III) ion, while the other one is coordinated to the second Pr III) ion.
Each copper atom in 2 is five-coordinated to one phen, one water molecule, and two bis-monodentate fully deprotonated 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylates.
In these compounds, L only exhibit one coordination mode coordinating to Ln III), and four oxygen atoms from two carboxylate groups and two carboxymethoxy groups of one L coordinate to one Ln III), simultaneously.
Crystal structure analysis reveals that each Ln III) ion, coordinated to one macrocycle H2L and two nitrates, is successfully capsulated by macrocyclic cavity forming the "lasso-type" architecture.
In the 3NiNi complex two Cl− anions were coordinated to one of the nickel II) centers facilitating oxidation, at different potentials, of both nickel II) cations.
Single crystal X-ray crystallographic studies revealed that C1 results from the cleavage of the Schiff base PL1, yielding the distorted square planar copper II) complex coordinated to one molecule of aep and two chloride ions, which have been already published.
X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that complex 1 is a chain constructed from a [Co-3-dpyh]n meso-helical chain and 5-HIP anions, in which each 5-HIP anion adopts a monodentate mode coordinating to one Co II) ion.
