Abstract

A series of compounds of the type [M(1)(4)(H2O)(2)]SO(4)(.)2H(2)O containing a simple urea-based pyridyl ligand have been synthesised and characterised by X-ray crystallography. The enclathrated water exists within discrete linearly stacked cavities and causes significant distortions in the M-OH2 bonds due to the presence of a strongly hydrogen bonded water square.
