The title compound [Zn（btzb）2Cl2]·2H2O （1·2H2O, btzb = 1,2-bis（5-tetrazolyl）ben- zene） was synthesized in situ by the [2＋3] cycloaddition reaction of phthalonitrile with NaN3 in water in the presence of ZnCl2 under refluxing conditions. 1·2H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2 1/c with a = 9.0119（18）, b = 7.5566（15）, c = 18.076（5）A, β= 114.67（2）°, V= 1118.6（4）A^3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.784 g/cm^3, T= 223（2） K, C16H16N16O2Cl2Zn, Mr = 600.74, F（000） = 608, μ（MoKα） = 1.393 mm^-1, S = 1.081, R = 0.0306 and wR = 0.0669 for 1896 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. The Zn^2＋ ion of 1 is coordinated by four N atoms from two btzb ligands and two Cl atoms, forming a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. A number of intermolecular hydrogen bon- ding interactions between molecules 1 and/or the solvated water molecules result in a 3D hydrogen-bonded structure. The luminescent property of 1·2H2O was also investigated.
The reaction of[（η^5-C5Me5）2Mo2（μ3-S）（μ-S）3（CuCl）]1 with Na2S in MeCN produced a trinuclear cluster [（η^5-C5Me5）2Mo2（μ3-S）（μ-S）3（CuCl）] 2. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 15.563（3）, b = 8.9547（18）, c = 17.846（4） A, β = 101.29（3）°, V = 2438.9（9） A^3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.878 g/cm^3, T = 193（2） K, C20H30ClCuMo2S4, Mr = 689.60, F（000） = 1376, μ（MoKa） = 2.335 mm ^-1, S = 1.050, R = 0.0305 and wR = 0.0688 for 4033 observed reflections with I 〉 20-（I）. In the structure of 2, one [（η^5-C5Me5）2Mo2（μ-S）2S] moiety and one CuCI unit are assembled into an incomplete cubane-like [Mo2S4Cu] core framework, in which the Cu center adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry coordinated by one ,μ3-S atom, two μ-S atoms and one terminal chloride. The two Mo…Cu contacts are 2.7519（7） and 2.7689（8） A, respectively.
The title compound, [Cu3（dmpzm）4（μ-1,3-dca）2（dca）4]·2H2O （dmpzm = 1,1＇-methylenebis（3,5-dimethyl-lH-pyrazole）, dca = dicyanamide） 1·2H2O, was synthesized via the reaction of CuCl2·2H2O with dmpzm and Na（dca）, and characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectra. 1·2H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/m with a = 13.578（3）, b = 16.769（3）, c = 14.769（3） A, β = 104.10（3）° V = 3261.4（11） A^3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.466 g/cm^3, T = 153（2） K, C56H68N34O2Cu3, Mr = 1440.09, F（000） = 1490,μ（MoKa） = 1.040 mm^-1, S = 1.150, R = 0.0553 and wR = 0.1123 for 2744 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. The central copper atom is chelated by two dmpzm ligands and coordinated by two bridging dca anions, forming a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The two external copper atoms adopt a square-pyramidal coordination geometry, coordinated by one chelating dmpzm ligand and one bridging and two terminal dca anions. Two intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions result in the formation of a 2D （4,4） hydrogen-bonded network.
Reactions of NiCl2-6H2O with dmpzm and formic or acetic acid at PH = 7 produced the two title compounds, [Ni（dmpzm）2（HCO2）]Cl·2H2O 1 and [Ni（dmpzm）2（OAc）]C2·H2O 2 （dmpzm = 1,1 ＇-methylenebis（3,5-dimethyl-lH-pyrazole））. 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis. 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pcca with a = 18.700（2）, b = 8.6843（9）, c = 18.098（2）A, V= 2939.1（5）A^3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.319 g/cm^3, T = 193 K, C23H37CINsNiO4, Mr = 583.75, F（000） = 1232, p（MoKa） = 0.792 cm^-1, S = 1.079, R = 0.0772 and wR = 0.1958 for 2265 observed reflections with I〉 2σ（I）. 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pcca with a = 17.011（3）, b = 18.630（4）, c = 19.300（4）A, V = 6117（2）A^3, Z = 8, Dc = 1.337 g/cm^3, T= 193（2） K, C24H41C1N8NiO5, Mr = 615.79, F（000） = 2608, μ（MoKa） = 0.768 cm^-1, S = 1.059, R = 0.0518 and wR = 0.1109 for 5124 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. The Ni atoms in 1 or 2 are chelated by two dmpzm ligands and one formate or acetate anion, forming slightly distorted octahedral geometries. In the crystals of 1 or 2, intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions result in the formation of 2D hydrogen-bonded frameworks.
