Abstract

Syntheses and X-ray structural characterizations of two new complexes [Ni(imi)6](pfbz)2 (1) and Cu(imi)2(pfbz)2 (2) (imi = imidazole, pfbz = pentafluorobenzoate) are reported. The first complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with the crystal cell parameters a = 9.180(2) Å, b = 9.742(3) Å, c = 11.466(3) Å, α = 76.947(18)°, β = 80.629(18)°, γ = 78.043(19)°, V = 970.0(4) Å3 and Z = 1. The second complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with the crystal cell parameters a = 7.3250(12) Å, b = 7.6685(10) Å, c = 10.888(4) Å, α = 92.80(2)°, β = 101.92(2)°, γ = 115.038(12)°, V = 535.7(2) Å3 and Z = 1. Examination of the structures shows that both complexes form three-dimensional hydrogen bonded networks in which C–H···F hydrogen bonds play significant roles.
