Supramolecular architectures of neutral and cationic complexes of transition metals with lactate and 1,10-phenanthroline

Abstract

The following molecular complexes of transition metals MII with lactato (HL) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands were prepared and characterized structurally: [M(HL)2(phen)]·nH2O, MII = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; 1–6), [M(HL)(H2O)2(phen)]Cl, (MII = Mn, Co, Ni; 7–9), and [Ni(HL)(H2O)2(phen)]Br (10). These neutral and cationic octahedral complexes have 3-D supramolecular architectures due to weak noncovalent interactions. In the halide compounds, C–H⋯X hydrogen bonds play a key role in the stabilization of the 3-D network.
