Tandem magnetization and post‐synthetic metal ion exchange of metal–organic framework: Synthesis,characterization and catalytic study

For the first time, metal‐exchange in a magnetic metal–organic framework (MOF) via tandem magnetization and post‐synthetic modification has been developed. The new magnetic mixed‐metal metal–organic framework nanocomposite, CoFe₂O₄/[Cu_0.63/Zn_0.37‐TMU‐17‐NH₂] (CoFe₂O₄/[Cu/Zn‐MOF]) has been synthesized by immersing the CoFe₂O₄/Zn‐TMU‐17‐NH₂ (CoFe₂O₄/Zn‐MOF) as a template in DMF solution of Cu (II) salts. CoFe₂O₄/[Cu/Zn‐MOF] showed to be a highly reactive and easily recoverable magnetic catalyst for the preparation of tetrazole derivatives via one‐pot three‐component reactions of different aldehydes with hydroxyl amine hydrochloride and sodium azide. Our results (Fourier transform‐infrared, inductively coupled plasma‐optical emission spectroscopy, powder X‐ray diffraction, field emission‐scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy‐mapping and vibrating‐sample magnetometer) show successful partial metal‐exchange in which the framework integrity remained intact during the metal‐exchange process.

Different reaction parameters including catalytic efficacy, solvent effect, and urea concentration are considered.     

Phosphotungstic acid grafted zeolite imidazolate framework as an effective heterogeneous nanocatalyst for the one‐pot solvent‐free synthesis of 3,4‐dihydropyrimidinones

Phosphotungstic acid (H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, PTA) supported on ZIF‐9(NH₂) was synthesized for the first time and performed as an effective and environmental friendly catalyst in the one‐pot three component Biginelli condensation of different substituted benzaldehydes with ethyl acetoacetate and urea to afford the corresponding 3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2‐(1H)‐ones under solvent‐free conditions. ZIF‐9(NH₂) and the prepared nanocatalyst PTA@ZIF‐9(NH₂) were characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, EDX, BET, AAS, TGA, UV–Vis, and FT‐IR. After reaction, the nanocatalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by centrifuge and the recovered catalyst can be reused for at least five times with a 14% reduction in yield after the fifth run. This study showed that ZIF‐9(NH₂) can be utilized as a promising support for PTA and developed a highly active, stable and reusable heterogeneous catalyst under easy reaction condition in the multi‐component organic synthesis.

Cobalt‐based metal coordination polymers with 4,4′‐bipyridinyl groups: highly efficient catalysis for one‐pot synthesis of 3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2(1H)‐ones under solvent‐free conditions

Three new metal coordination complexes, namely [Co(BPY)₂(H₂O)₂](BPY)(BS)₂(H₂O)₄ ( 1 ), [Co(BPY)₂(H₂O)₄](ABS)₂(H₂O)₂ ( 2 ) and [Co(BPY)(H₂O)₄](MBS)₂ ( 3 ) (BPY = 4,4′‐bipyridine, BS = phenylsulfonic acid, ABS = p‐aminobenzenesulfonic acid, MBS = p‐methylbenzenesulfonic acid), were obtained under hydrothermal conditions. Complexes 1 , 2 , 3 were structurally characterized using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. All of them display low‐dimensional motifs: complex 1 displays a two‐dimensional structure; and complexes 2 and 3 exhibit a one‐dimensional tape structure. Through strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions and weak packing interactions, all of them further stack to generate a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture. Catalysts 1 , 2 , 3 were involved in the green synthesis of a variety of 3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2(1H)‐ones under solvent‐free conditions through Biginelli reactions. The corresponding catalytic product was obtained in quantitative yields (99%) under eco‐friendly synthesis conditions for the variety of reactions. Catalysts 1 , 2 , 3 exhibit excellent efficiency for the desired product, and their catalytic performance shows the following order: 2  >  1  ≈  3 , which can be ascribed to the hydrophobic interactions of different phenylsulfonate groups. The catalytic performance for the Biginelli reaction is not only dependent on the selected solvents, but also inversely proportional to the polarities of the solvents.

Synthesis,crystal structure and activity evaluation of novel 3,4‐dihydro‐1‐benzoxepin‐5(2H)‐one derivatives as protein–tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors

Four new 3,4‐dihydro‐1‐benzoxepin‐5(2H )‐one derivatives, namely (E )‐4‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐6,8‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 7 ), (E )‐4‐[(E )‐3‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]‐6,8‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 8 ), (E )‐4‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐6‐hydroxy‐8‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, C₁₈H₁₅BrO₅, ( 9 ), and (E )‐4‐[(E )‐3‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]‐6‐hydroxy‐8‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 10 ), have been synthesized and characterized by FT–IR, NMR and MS. The structure of ( 9 ) was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Crystal structure analysis shows that molecules of ( 9 ) are connected into a one‐dimensional chain in the [010] direction through classical hydrogen bonds and these chains are further extended into a three‐dimensional network via C—H…O interactions. The inhibitory activities of these compounds against protein–tyrosine kinases (PTKs) show that 6‐hydroxy‐substituted compounds ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) are more effective for inhibiting ErbB1 and ErbB2 than are 6‐methoxy‐substituted compounds ( 7 ) and ( 8 ). This may be because ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) could effectively bind to the active pockets of the protein through intermolecular interactions.

A new one‐dimensional ZnII coordination polymer based on 2‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐benzimidazole and benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylate

Multidentate N‐heterocyclic compounds form a variety of metal complexes with many intriguing structures and interesting properties. The title coordination polymer, catena‐poly[zinc(II)‐bis{μ‐2‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐benzimidazole}‐κ²N³:N^3′;N^3′:N³‐zinc(II)‐bis(μ‐benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylato)‐κ²O¹:O²;κ³O¹,O^1′:O²], [Zn₂(C₈H₄O₄)₂(C₁₁H₁₀N₄)₂]_n, has been synthesized by the reaction of Zn(NO₃)₂ with 2‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐benzimidazole (imb) and benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid (H₂bdic) under hydrothermal conditions. There are two crystallographically distinct imb ligands [imb(A) and imb(B)] in the structure which adopt very similar coordination geometries. The imb(A) ligand bridges two symmetry‐related Zn1 ions, yielding a binuclear [(Zn1)₂{imb(A)}₂] unit, and the imb(B) ligand bridges two symmetry‐related Zn2 ions resulting in a binuclear [(Zn2)₂{imb(B)}₂] unit. The above‐mentioned binuclear units are further connected alternately by pairs of bridging bdic²⁻ ligands, forming an infinite one‐dimensional chain. These one‐dimensional chains are further connected through N—H...O hydrogen bonds, leading to a two‐dimensional layered structure. In addition, the title polymer exhibits good fluorescence properties in the solid state at room temperature.

Thus, the reaction of 1‐fluoro‐2‐lithiobenzenes, generated by the Br/Li exchange between 1 and BuLi, with alkyl isothiocyanates, gives N‐alkyl‐2‐fluorobenzothioamides 2 , which, in turn, react with a series of isocyanates in the presence of NaH to give the desired products 3 .     

A three‐dimensional mixed‐valence CuII/CuI coordination polymer constructed from biphenyl‐3,4′,5‐tricarboxylate and 1,4‐bis(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene ligands

Coordination polymers (CPs) built by coordination bonds between metal ions/clusters and multidentate organic ligands exhibit fascinating structural topologies and potential applications as functional solid materials. The title coordination polymer, poly[diaquabis(μ₄‐biphenyl‐3,4′,5‐tricarboxylato‐κ⁴O³:O^3′:O^4′:O⁵)tris[μ₂‐1,4‐bis(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene‐κ²N³:N^3′]dicopper(II)dicopper(I)], [Cu^II₂Cu^I₂(C₁₅H₇O₆)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₄)₃(H₂O)₂]_n, was crystallized from a mixture of biphenyl‐3,4′,5‐tricarboxylic acid (H₃bpt), 1,4‐bis(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene (1,4‐bib) and copper(II) chloride in a water–CH₃CN mixture under solvothermal reaction conditions. The asymmetric unit consists of two crystallographically independent Cu atoms, one of which is Cu^II, while the other has been reduced to the Cu^I ion. The Cu^II centre is pentacoordinated by three O atoms from three bpt³⁻ ligands, one N atom from a 1,4‐bib ligand and one O atom from a coordinated water molecule, and the coordination geometry can be described as distorted trigonal bipyramidal. The Cu^I atom exhibits a T‐shaped geometry (CuN₂O) coordinated by one O atom from a bpt³⁻ ligand and two N atoms from two 1,4‐bib ligands. The Cu^II atoms are extended by bpt³⁻ and 1,4‐bib linkers to generate a two‐dimensional network, while the Cu^I atoms are linked by 1,4‐bib ligands, forming one‐dimensional chains along the [20] direction. In addition, the completely deprotonated μ₄‐η¹:η¹:η¹:η¹ bpt³⁻ ligands bridge one Cu^I and three Cu^II cations along the a (or [100]) direction to form a three‐dimensional framework with a (10³)₂(10)₂(4².6.10².12)₂(4².6.8².10)₂(8) topology via a 2,2,3,4,4‐connected net. An investigation of the magnetic properties indicated a very weak ferromagnetic behaviour.     

Two different one‐dimensional supramolecular chains formed from the reaction of 2‐[1‐(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl]quinoline with two different precursors,Co(NO3)2 and CoCl2

Two different one‐dimensional supramolecular chains with Co^II cations have been synthesized based on the semi‐rigid ligand 2‐[1‐(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl]quinoline (L), obtained by condensation of 2‐(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)quinoline and 4‐(chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride. Starting from different Co^II salts, two new compounds have been obtained, viz. catena‐poly[[[dinitratocobalt(II)]‐μ‐2‐[1‐(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl]quinoline] dichloromethane monosolvate acetonitrile monosolvate], {[Co(NO₃)₂(C₂₂H₁₆N₄)]·CH₂Cl₂·CH₃CN}_n, (I) and catena‐poly[[[dichloridocobalt(II)]‐μ‐2‐[1‐(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl]quinoline] methanol disolvate], {[CoCl₂(C₂₂H₁₆N₄)]·2CH₃OH}_n, (II). In (I), the Co^II centres lie in a distorted octahedral [CoN₃O₃] coordination environment. {Co(NO₃)₂L}_n units form one‐dimensional helical chains, where the L ligand has different directions of twist. The helical chains stack together via interchain π–π interactions to form a two‐dimensional sheet, and another type of π–π interaction further connects neighbouring sheets into a three‐dimensional framework with hexagonal channels, in which the acetonitrile molecules and disordered dichloromethane molecules are located. In (II), the Co^II centres lie in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal [CoCl₂N₃] coordination environment. {CoCl₂L}_n units form one‐dimensional chains. The chains interact via C—H...π and C—H...Cl interactions. The result is that two‐dimensional sheets are generated, which are further linked into a three‐dimensional framework via interlayer C—H...Cl interactions. When viewed down the crystallographic b axis, the methanol solvent molecules are located in an orderly manner in wave‐like channels.

Many factors, such as temperature, solvent, the central metal atom and the type of coligands, may affect the nature of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and the framework formation in the self‐assembly process, which results in the complexity of these compounds and the uncertainty of their structures. Two new isomeric Zn^II metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) based on mixed ligands, namely, poly[[μ‐1,5‐bis(2‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)pentane‐κ²N ³:N ^3′](μ‐5‐methylisophthalato‐κ²O ¹:O ³)zinc(II)], [Zn(C₉H₆O₄)(C₁₃H₂₀N₄)]_n , (I), and poly[[μ‐1,5‐bis(2‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)pentane‐κ²N ³:N ^3′](μ₃‐5‐methylisophthalato‐κ³O ¹:O ^1′:O ³)(μ₃‐5‐methylisophthalato‐κ⁴O ¹:O ^1′:O ³,O ^3′)dizinc(II)], [Zn₂(C₉H₆O₄)₂(C₁₃H₂₀N₄)]_n , (II), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Complex (I) displays a two‐dimensional layer net, while complex (II) exhibits a twofold interpenetrating three‐dimensional framework. Both complexes show high stability and good fluorescence in the solid state at room temperature.
