The aim of the work was to synthesize new perspective compounds of palladium and platinum with nitrogenous bases (guanine), promising for use in biomedicine and catalysis. The article describes the synthesis of new [PdCl2(HGua)2]Cl2·H2O and [PtCl5(HGua)]·2H2O compounds using wet chemistry methods. The structure of the obtained single crystals was established by the method of single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complexes have an M-N bond, and the organic ligand is included in the first coordination sphere. The analysis of Hirshfeld surfaces for the obtained complexes and their analogues for the analysis of intermolecular interactions was carried out. In the palladium complex we obtained, π-halogen and π-stacking interactions were found; in analogues, such interactions were not found. π-halogen and halogen interactions were found in structure of platinum complex and its analogues.
This work aimed to synthesize new platinum and uranium compounds with nicotinic acid. In this article we describe the synthesis of two new anionic complexes (HNic)2[PtCl6] and (HNic)2[UO2Cl4] using wet chemistry methods. The structure of the obtained single crystals was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the obtained complexes and their analogue (HNic)2[SiF6] was carried out for the analysis of intermolecular interactions. Hydrogen bonds (H···Hal/Hal···H and O···H/H···O) make the main contribution to intermolecular interactions in all compounds. Other important contacts in cations in all compounds are H···H, C···H/H···C and C···Hal/Hal···C; in anions H···Hal/Hal···H. The Pt-containing complex has a halogen-π interaction and halogen bonds, but Si-containing complex has a π–π staking interaction; these types of interactions are not observed in the U-containing compound.
In this work, we have proposed two new methods for the synthesis of [TcO2L4]+ (where L = imidazole (Im), methylimidazole (MeIm)) complexes using thiourea (Tu) and Sn(II) as the reducing agents. The main and by-products of the reactions were determined, and possible reaction mechanisms were proposed. We have shown that the reduction of Tc(VII) with thiourea is accompanied by the formation of the Tc(III) intermediate and further oxidation to Tc(V). The reaction conditions’ changing can lead to the formation of Tc(VII) and Tc(IV) salts. Seven new crystal structures are described in this work: Tc(V) complexes, salts with Tc(VII) and Tc(IV) anions. For the halide salts of Tu the cell parameters were determined. In all of the obtained compounds, except for [TcO2(MeIm)4]TcO4, there are π–stacking interactions between the aromatic rings. An increase in the anion size lead to weakening of the intermolecular interactions. The halogen bonds and anion-π interactions were also found in the hexahalide-containing compounds. The Hirshfeld surface analysis showed that the main contribution to the crystal packing is created by the van der Waals interactions of the H···H type (42.5–55.1%), H···C/C···H (17.7–21.3%) and hydrogen bonds, which contribute 15.7–25.3% in total.
