Key-to-lock halogen bond-based tetragonal pyramidal association of iodonium cations with the lacune rims of beta-octamolybdate

The structure-directing "key-to-lock" interaction of double σ-(IIII)-hole donating iodonium cations with the O-flanked pseudo-lacune rims of [β-Mo8O26]4- gives halogen-bonded iodonium-beta-octamolybate supramolecular associates. In the occurrence of their tetragonal pyramidal motifs, deep and broad σ-(IIII)-holes of a cation recognize the molybdate backbone, which provides an electronic pool localized around the two lacunae. The halogen-bonded I⋯O linkages in the structures were thoroughly studied computationally and classified as two-center, three-center bifurcated, and unconventional "orthogonal" I⋯O halogen bonds. In the latter, the O-atom approaches orthogonally the C-IIII-C plane of an iodonium cation and this geometry diverge from the IUPAC criteria for the identification of the halogen bond.

Synthesis, structure and the Hirshfeld surface analysis of three novel metal-tiron coordination complexes

Three novel metal-tiron (4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-benzenedisulfonic acid disodium salt) and other pillared ligand bpy (4,4′-bipyridyl)-centered coordination polymers of the formulae [Cd(tiron)(bpy)₂(H₂O)₂]·0.5(H₂O), 1, [Co₃(tiron-bpy)₂(bpy)(H₂O)₈]·(H₂O)₂, 2, and [Ba₂(tiron-bpy)₂(H₂O)₄][solvent], 3, were successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The as-synthesized materials were well characterized by complimentary techniques such as single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. The as-synthesized coordination polymers of 1 and 2 featured 1D chains, while 3 shows a layered structure. Co-based 2 shows linear trinuclear Co(ii) ions and these Co(ii) ions have antiferromagnetic interactions among themselves. The structure of 1 features a zig-zag chain formed by the linkage between monodentate tiron ligands and octahedral Cd(ii) ions, interconnected by a twisted bpy ligand, 2 shows a linear chain constructed from corner-sharing trinuclear octahedral Co(ii) ions and coordinated with a tridentate tiron-bpy adduct ligand, whereas 3 shows nona-coordinated Ba(ii) ions sharing edges with other Ba(ii) ions and connected by hexadentate tiron-bridged structures resulting in a layered structure. In 2 and 3, the bpy nitrogen attacks at the ortho position of the tiron ligand and forms an in situ ligand adduct. The central metal ions show an octahedral geometry in 1 (Cd(ii) ions) and 2 (Co(ii) ions), but nona-coordination of Ba(ii) ions in 3. The short interatomic interactions in the crystal structures were evaluated by mapping the Hirshfeld surface process using pseudo-mirrored 2D fingerprint plots. The major short interatomic interactions H⋯H, O⋯H and C⋯H cover the Hirshfeld surfaces.
