Bis(acetato-κ2 O,O′)bis­(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-κN 2)copper(II)

In the title compound, [Cu(C2H3O2)2(C5H8N2)2], the CuII atom has a distorted tetra­gonal–bipyramidal geometry, with the equatorial plane formed by two N atoms belonging to two 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole ligands and two O atoms from two acetate anions. The second O atoms of the acetate groups provide elongated Cu—O axial contacts, so that the acetates appear to be coordinated in a pseudo-chelate fashion. The pyrazole ligands are situated in cis positions with respect to each other. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked through inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a one-dimensional chain

cis-Bis(2,2′-bipyridine-κ2 N,N′)bis­(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)zinc bis­(tetra­phenyl­borate) dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate

In the mononuclear title complex, [Zn(C10H8N2)2(C2H6OS)2](C24H20B)2·C2H6OS, the ZnII ion is coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate 2,2′-bipyridine mol­ecules and by the O atoms of two cis-disposed dimethyl sulfoxide mol­ecules in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The S atom and the methyl groups of one of the coordinated dimethyl sulfoxide mol­ecules are disordered in a 0.509 (2):0.491 (2) ratio. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the dimethyl sulfoxide solvent mol­ecules and tetra­phenyl­borate anions

catena-Poly[[copper(II)-bis[μ-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) selenide]] bis(perchlorate)]

In the title compound, {[Cu(C10H14N4Se)2](ClO4)2}n, the CuII ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and has a tetra­gonally distorted square-planar geometry constituted by four N atoms. A pair of bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) selenide (L) ligands bridges the copper centers into a polymeric chain extending along [001]. The perchlorate anions are involved in inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, which links the chains into layers parallel to the bc plane

catena-Poly[[[trans-diaqua­bis(pyridine-κN)cobalt(II)]-μ-(4-{N′-[1-(3-acetyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)ethyl­idene]hydrazino}benzoato-κ3 O:N,N′)-[bis­(pyridine-κN)cobalt(III)]-μ-(4-{N′-[1-(3-acetyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)ethyl­idene]hydrazino}benzoato-κ3 N,N′:O)]perchlorate 3.66-hydrate]

The title compound, {[Co2(C15H14N4O3)2(C5H5N)4(H2O)2]ClO4·3.66H2O}n, is a one-dimensional coordination polymer, with both CoII and CoIII centres in its structure. The ligand environment surrounding CoIII is formed by two N,N-chelating pyrazole-containing ligands and two pyridine mol­ecules in axial positions. The high-spin CoII ions, situated at crystallographic centres of inversion, exhibit a distorted octa­hedral coordination mode. The ClO4 − anion is linked to the polymer chain via hydrogen bonds. The chains are connected by hydrogen bonds to produce a three-dimensional structure

Recent Experiences with a Catalytic Filter System Destruction of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins and Dibenzofurans in Fabric Filters

ABSTRACT Sustained catalytic destruction and removal of dioxins/furans from the environment has been demonstrated at municipal waste incinerators (MWI) in Europe. This paper details the full-scale field experiences of a catalytic filtration system that both destroys dioxins/furans and removes particulate to levels significantly lower than the regulatory limit. The dioxin destruction performance of three MWI's is detailed. The long-term destruction performance of a catalyst filtration system in Belgium will be described. The system has consistently reduced effluent concentrations of dioxins/furans to significantly less than 0.1 ng I-TEQ/Nm³ of flue gas for over three years. Additionally, the case study of a MWI in Harelbeke, Belgium will describe the use of the catalytic filtration system to overcome the limitations of other dioxin/furan control technologies. Finally, the application of this catalyst filtration system to the French MWI, Thonôn-les-Bains, will be described

Diaqua­bis­(pyridine-2-carboxyl­ato-κ2 N,O)manganese(II) dimethyl­formamide hemisolvate

There are two crystallographically independent complex mol­ecules with very similar geometries in the unit cell of the title compound, [Mn(C6H4NO2)2(H2O)2]·0.5C3H7NO. The central ion is situated in a distorted octa­hedral environment of two N- and four O-donor atoms from two pyridine-2-carboxyl­ate ligands and two cis-disposed water mol­ecules. The carboxyl­ate ligands are coordinated in a chelate fashion with the formation of two five-membered rings. In the crystal, the complex mol­ecules are connected by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water mol­ecules and the uncoordinated carboxyl­ate O atoms, thus forming hydrogen-bonded walls disposed perpendicularly to the bc plane

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of two 5,11-methanobenzo[g][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5 c][1,3,5]oxadiazocine derivatives

In the title compounds, 9-bromo-2,5-dimethyl-11,12-dihydro-5H-5,11-methanobenzo[g][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c][1,3,5]oxadiazocine, C13H13BrN4O (I), and 7-methoxy-5-methyl-2-(pyridin-4-yl)-11,12-dihydro-5H-5,11-methanobenzo[g][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c][1,3,5]oxadiazocine, C18H17N5O2 (II), the triazole ring is inclined to the benzene ring by 85.15 (9) and 76.98 (5) in compounds I and II, respectively. In II, the pyridine ring is almost coplanar with the triazole ring, having a dihedral angle of 4.19 (8). In the crystal of I, pairs of N—HN hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form inversion dimers with an R2 2 (8) ring motif. The dimers are linked by C—H and C—Br interactions forming layers parallel to the bc plane. In the crystal of II, molecules are linked by N—HN and C—HO hydrogen bonds forming chains propagating along the b-axis direction. The intermolecular interactions were investigated using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, and the molecular electrostatic potential surface was also analysed. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of I suggests that the most significant contributions to the crystal packing are HH (42.4%) and OH/HO (17.9%) contacts. For compound II, the HH (48.5%), CH/ HC (19.6%) and NH/HN (16.9%) interactions are the most important contributions.The authors acknowledge the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey, for the use of the Stoe IPDS 2 diffractometer (purchased under grant F. 279 of the University Research Fund) and the Council of Higher Education of Turkey, Mevlana Exchange Program (MEV-2016-027)

Effect of ligand substitution in [Fe(H-trz)2(trz)]BF4 spin crossover nanoparticles

Spin crossover iron(II) 1,2,4-triazole-based coordination compounds in the form of nanoparticles were prepared using a reverse microemulsion technique. Ligand substitution approach was applied to decrease the spin crossover temperature towards room temperature in the well-known [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)]BF4 complex. The compositions of the particles were determined by elemental analysis and thermogravimetry. The morphology was monitored by transition electron microscopy (TEM). The effect associated with the ligand substitution was investigated by optical and magnetic measurements. Transition temperature has been reduced by 33 K comparing the unsubstituted sample to that with 5 % substitution

(μ-3-Acetyl-5-carboxyl­ato-4-methyl­pyrazolido-1:2κ4 N 2,O 3:N 1,O 5)-μ-chlorido-tetra­pyridine-1κ2 N,2κ2 N-chlorido-1κCl-dicopper(II) propan-2-ol solvate

The title compound, [Cu2(C7H6N2O3)Cl2(C5H5N)4]·C3H8O, is a binuclear pyrazolate complex, in which the two CuII atoms have different coordination numbers and are connected by a bridging Cl atom. One CuII atom has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment formed by two pyridine N atoms, one bridging Cl atom and an N,O-chelating pyrazolate ligand. The other CuII atom adopts an octa­hedral geometry defined by two pyridine N atoms at the axial positions, two Cl atoms and the coordinated pyrazolate ligand in the equatorial plane. An O—H⋯O hydrogen bond connects the complex mol­ecules and propan-2-ol solvent mol­ecules into pairs. These pairs form columns along the a axis
