Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure of the Complexes of Transition Metal with o-Phenanthroline and N-p-Tolyulfonytaurine

The two title complexes were synthesized by reaction of o-phenanthroline(phen), N-p-tolysulfony-taurine(TsTausH) and transition metal picrates in water-ethanol solution, which were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc with cell parameters: a=2.917 6(4) nm, b=1.041 48(15) nm, c=2.128 7(3) nm, β=126.162(3)°, and V=5.222 1(13) nm3, Z=4, Dc=1.486 g·cm-3, μ=0.602 mm-1, F(000)=2 440; Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with cell parameters: a=1.113 70(16) nm, b=2.472 6(4) nm, c=1.185 87(18) nm, β=93.355(3)°, and V=3.260 0(8) nm3, Z=4, Dc=1.540 g·cm-3, μ=0.934 mm-1, F(000)=1 556. The capacities of coordination to difference atoms were discussed for the two complexes. CCDC: 270955, 1; 260533, 2.
