Abstract
Two novel orotate complexes, mononuclear [Ni(HOr)(H2O)2(etpy)]·H2O (1) and dinuclear [Cu(μ-HOr)(etpy)]2 (2) (etpy = 2-hydroxyethylpyridine, HOr2â = dianionic orotate), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic (IR, UV-vis), thermal, magnetic and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The mononuclear Ni(II) complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1¯ and the dinuclear copper(II) complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The mononuclear complex consists of individual units in which nickel(II) lies on the inversion center and has octahedral coordination by bidentate HOr2â, bidentate etpy and two aqua ligands. The dinuclear copper(II) complex composed of a double-orotate bridge and bidentate etpy ligands. Each HOr2â ligand simultaneously exhibits chelating bidentate and bridging coordination modes. HOr2â is tricoordinated to one copper atom through N3 atom of pyrimidine ring, one oxygen atom of the carboxylate group as a bidentate ligand and to the other copper ion via the other oxygen of the carboxylate group. The structural units are joined into the framework by the hydrogen bonds in 1 and 2.
