Structural characterization of two tetra-chlorido-zincate salts of 4-carb-oxy-1H-imidazol-3-ium: a salt hydrate and a co-crystal salt hydrate

Imidazole-containing compounds exhibit a myriad of pharmacological activities. Two tetra-chlorido-zincate salts of 4-carb-oxy-1H-imidazol-3-ium, ImHCO2H+, are reported. Bis(4-carb-oxy-1H-imidazol-3-ium) tetra-chlorido-zincate monohydrate, (C4H5N2O2)2[ZnCl4]·H2O, (I), crystallizes as a monohydrate salt, while bis-(4-carb-oxy-1H-imidazol-3-ium) tetra-chlorido-zincate bis-(1H-imidazol-3-ium-4-carboxyl-ato) monohydrate, (C4H5N2O2)2[ZnCl4]·2C4H4N2O2·H2O, (II), is a co-crystal salt with six residues: two ImHCO2H+ cations, two formula units of the zwitterionic 1H-imidazol-3-ium-4-carboxyl-ate, ImHCO2, one tetra-chlorido-zincate anion and one water mol-ecule disordered over two sites in a 0.60 (4):0.40 (4) ratio. The geometric parameters of the ImHCO2H+ and the ImHCO2 moieties are the same within the standard uncertainties of the measurements. Both compounds exhibit extensive hydrogen bonding, including involvement of the tetra-chlorido-zincate anion, resulting in inter-connected chains of anions joined by water mol-ecules.

Systematic Studies on 3 d- and 4 f-Metal Containing Polyoxometalates Suitable for Organic Derivatization

Premium polyoxometalates! The organic functionalization of 3 d-metalsubstituted polyoxometalates and the synthesis of new metal-oxo clusters with accessible 3 d- and 4 f-metal centers suitable for organic derivatization are discussed in this thesis. A total number of 39 compounds were structurally characterized, and their luminescent and magnetic properties analyzed. The solution behavior was studied by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and light-scattering techniques.
