Pseudo-macrocyclic complexes of copper(II), and in one instance nickel(II), incorporating the bidentate ligands methyl N-(4-oxo-5,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro- 1H-imidazol-2-yl)imidocarbamateand N,N-dimethyl-N′-(4-oxo-5,5-diphenyl-4, 5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)guanidine are reported and their X-ray structures compared with those previously reported for related complexes of two N-(4-oxo- 5,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)alkanimidamides. A feature of these complexes is that they are capable of forming hydrogen bonded chains or chains in which adjacent complexes are linked by phenyl 'embraces'. Changes in supramolecular structure arising from small changes in ligand structure or on crystallisation from different solvents are also discussed. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.
