Preparations and structures of two cis,cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane-based complexes containing hydrogen-bonded solvent molecules
Abstract
Reactions of cis,cis-1,3,5-tri-(E,E)-cinnamylideneaminocyclohexane and the new molecule cis,cis-1,3,5-tri-(E,E)-3-(2-furyl)prop-2-en-1-ylideneaminocyclohexane with diacetatonickel(II) hydrate and bis(tetrafluoroborato)cobalt(II) hydrate respectively afforded two novel metal complexes, the crystal structures of which showed chains of hydrogen-bonded solvent molecules within a rigid hydrophobic cavity.
