Bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)pyridinezinc(II) and -copper(II) clathrates M(Edtc)2Py·nL (L = CH2Cl2 and CHCl3; n = 1 and 0.5) : Molecular and crystal structures and EPR and high-resolution solid-state (13C, 15N) NMR spectra

• X-ray diffraction analysis, EPR, and high-resolution solid-state (13C, 15N) NMR spectroscopy were used to examine structural organization and spectral properties of six bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)pyridine-zinc(II) and copper(II) solvates with dichloromethane and chloroform, M(Edtc)2Py·nL (n = 1 and 0.5). Typical of the clathrate-type structures, the compounds are penetrated by the ordered molecular channels filled with chemically nonbonded chlorohydrocarbon molecules. At the molecular level, the geometry of coordination polyhedra of complexing atoms is intermediate between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal (the contribution of the square-pyramidal component is quantitatively estimated for the zinc clathrate). Accordingly, the ground state of the unpaired electron in the copper(II) compounds is a combination of the dx2-y2 and dz2 orbitals. It is shown that the nonequivalence of the Edtc- ligands in zinc(II) clathrates manifests itself both magnetically and structurally. The chlorine atoms of the solvate dichloromethane molecules, unlike chloroform molecules, are disordered over the two structural positions with different multiplicities. The 13C and 15N NMR signals are assigned to the atomic positions in the resolved molecular structures
