Abstract

The crystal structures of (2-oxo-2H-quinaxalin-1-yl)-acetic acid and its cobalt and nickel complexes are determined. The (2-oxo-2H-quinaxalin-1-yl)-acetic acid (1) crystallizes in orthorhombic, Pbca, a = 12.8571(11) A, b = 9.4267(8) A, c = 15.0095(13) A, the cobalt complex of (2-oxo-2H-quinaxalin-1-yl)-acetic acid (2) crystallizes as dihydrate in triclinic, P-1 space group with a = 4.81150(10) A, b = 11.8631(2) A, c = 12.4867(3) A, α = 71.7800(10)°, β = 79.2490(10)°, γ = 84.9020(10)° whereas the nickel complex of (2-oxo-2H-quinaxalin-1-yl)-acetic acid (3) crystallizes in monoclinic, P21/c space group with a = 14.9210(5) A, b = 4.81730(10) A, c = 15.7672(5) A. and β = 99.823(2)°. The crystal structure of the ligand and the complexes are compared with structures of (1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-acetic acid and its cobalt and nickel complexes. The crystal structures of (2-oxo-2H-quinaxalin-1-yl)-acetic acid and its nickel and cobalt complexes are compared with (1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-acetic acid and its corresponding complexes with nickel(II) and cobalt(II).
