Abstract
Two organic–inorganic hybrid dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 complexes, [K(DC18C6-B)]2[Pd(i-mnt)2] (1) and [K(DC18C6-A)]2[Pt(i-mnt)2] (2) (DC18C6-A=cis-syn-cis-dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6, A isomer; DC18C6-B = cis-anti-cis-dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6, B isomer; i-mnt=1,1-dicyanoethene-2,2-dithiolate, isomaleonitriledithiolate), were synthesized by the reaction of dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 with K2(i-mnt) and PdCl2 or K2PtCl4 respectively. These were characterized by elemental analysis, FT–IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In complex 1, two [K(DC18C6-B)]+ complex cations and one [Pd(i-mnt)2]2− complex anion formed a neutral molecule through two K–N coordination bonds. The resulting molecule adopted a 1D chain arrangement via K N weak interactions. Complex 2 showed a 1D chain-like structure that was assembled by two [K(DC18C6-A)]+ complex cations and one [Pt(i-mnt)2]2− complex anion through N–K–N interactions.
