title: Uracilato and 5-halouracilato complexes of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II). X-ray structures of [Cu(uracilato-N(1))(2)(NH(3))(2)].2(H(2)O), [Cu(5-chlorouracilato-N(1))(2)(NH(3))(2)](H(2)O)(2), [Ni(5-chlorouracilato-N(1))(2)(en)(2)].2H(2)O and [Zn(5-chlorouracilato-N(1))(NH(3))(3)].(5-chlorouracilato-N(1)).(H(2)O).
abstract: Four new complexes of uracilato and 5-halouracilato with the divalent metal ions Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) were obtained and structurally characterized. [Cu(uracilato- N(1))(2)(NH(3))(2)].2(H(2)O) (1) and [Cu(5-chlorouracilato-N(1))(2)(NH(3))(2)](H(2)O)(2) (2) complexes present distorted square planar co-ordination geometry around the metal ion. Although an additional axial water molecule is present [Cu(II)-OH(2)=2.89 A (for 1) and 2.52 A (for 2)] in both cases, only in the complex 2 would be considered in the limit of a bond distance. The Zn(II) in [Zn(5-chlorouracilato-N(1))(NH(3))(3)].(5-chlorouracilato-N(1)).(H(2)O) presents a tetrahedral co-ordination with three ammonia molecules and the N(1) of the corresponding uracilato moiety. A non-coordinated uracilato molecule is present as a counterion and a recognition between co-ordinated and free ligands, by means a tandem of H-bonds, should be mentioned. Finally, the complex [Ni(5-chlorouracilato-N(1))(2)(en)(2)] (H(2)O)(2) (where en is ethylenediamine) presents a typical octahedral trans co-ordination with additional hydrogen bonds between 5-chlorouracilato and the NH(2) groups of ethylenediamine units.
