metal-organic compounds
In the title complex, [Cd2(C24H26N4O2)(ClO4)2(H2O)2][Cd2(C24H26N4O2)(H2O)2](ClO4)2, the two distinct macrocycles adopt essentially flat structures. They each encapsulate two Cd atoms. One Cd coordination polyhedron, completed by a water O atom and a perchlorate O atom, is distorted octahedral, while the other is best described as a CdN2O3 square-based pyramid, with water in the apical site. Both dinuclear complexes are centrosymmetric.
metal-organic compounds
The title dinuclear complex, [Cu2(C12H17FN3O2)2](ClO4)2·CH4O, was synthesized by condensation between diethylenetriamine and 2-formyl-4-fluoro-6-hydroxymethylphenol in the presence of copper(II). It contains two similar units, which are linked by Cu—O bonds. The approximate planes of the two units are parallel to each other, and π–π interaction exists between the two units.
