In 1.2MeOH, six silver（I） atoms are held together by six bzdmpymt ligands through N and S atoms to form a water-wheel-shaped structure. Each Ag atom is coordinated by two S atoms from two bzdmpymt ligands and one N atom from the third bzdmpymt ligand, giving a trigonal planar coordination geometry. Interactions between the CH3 group of bzdmpymt ligand and one pyrimidyl nitrogen atom in an adjacent molecule afford a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding chain running along the b axis. The luminescent property of 1.2MeOH was also investigated.

Molecular precursors for ferroelectric materials: synthesis and characterization of Bi2M2(mu-O)(sal)4(Hsal)4(OEt)2 and BiM4(mu-O)4(sal)4(Hsal)3(O(i)Pr)4 (sal = O2CC6H4O,Hsal = O2CC6H4OH) (M = Nb,Ta)

Reactions between triphenyl bismuth, salicylic acid, and niobium or tantalum ethoxide have been explored. Four new coordination complexes incorporating bismuth and the group 5 metals niobium or tantalum have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically, by elemental analysis, and by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The new complexes are Bi(2)M(2)(mu-O)(sal)(4)(Hsal)(4)(OEt)(2) (1a, M = Nb; 1b, M = Ta) and BiM(4)(mu-O)(4)(sal)(4)(Hsal)(3)(O(i)Pr)(4) (sal = O(2)CC(6)H(4)-2-O, Hsal = O(2)CC(6)H(4)-2-OH) (2a, M = Nb; 2b, M = Ta). Complexes 1a and 1b are isomorphous, as are 2a and 2b. The thermal and hydrolytic decomposition of 1a has been explored by DT/TGA and powder X-ray diffraction, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were used to characterize the morphology and composition of the oxides. The heterobimetallic molecules are completely converted to the amorphous bimetallic oxide by heating to 500 degrees C in air. Decomposition of 1a or 1b at 650 degrees C produces the metastable high temperature form of BiNbO(4) as the major crystalline oxide phase. Heating samples of 1a to 850 degrees C favors conversion of the materials to the low temperature phase as well as disproportionation into Bi(5)Nb(3)O(15) and Nb(2)O(5). Thermal decomposition of 1a and 1b produces porous oxides, while hydrolytic decomposition of the complexes has been shown to produce nanometer scale bimetallic oxide particles. The potential of the complexes to act as single-source precursors for ferroelectric materials is considered.     

Heterobimetallic bismuth-transition metal salicylate complexes as molecular precursors for ferroelectric materials. Synthesis and structure of Bi(2)M(2)(sal)(4)(Hsal)(4)(OR) (4) (M = Nb,Ta; R = CH(2)CH(3), CH(CH(3))(2)), Bi(2)Ti(3)(sal)(8)(Hsal)(2), and Bi(2)Ti(4)(O(i)Pr)(sal)(10)(Hsal) (sal = O(2)CC(6)H(4)-2-O; Hsal = O(2)CC(6)H(4)-2-OH)

The reactions between triphenylbismuth, salicylic acid, and the metal alkoxides M(OCH(2)CH(3))(5) (M = Nb, Ta) or Ti[OCH(CH(3))(2)](4) have been investigated under different reaction conditions and in different stoichiometries. Six novel heterobimetallic bismuth alkoxy-carboxylate complexes have been synthesized in good yield as crystalline solids. These include Bi(2)M(2)(sal)(4)(Hsal)(4)(OR)(4) (M = Nb, Ta; R = CH(2)CH(3), CH(CH(3))(2)), Bi(2)Ti(3)(sal)(8)(Hsal)(2), and Bi(2)Ti(4)(O(i)Pr)(sal)(10)(Hsal) (sal = O(2)CC(6)H(4)-2-O; Hsal = O(2)CC(6)H(4)-2-OH). The complexes have been characterized spectroscopically and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds of the group V transition metals contain metal ratios appropriate for precursors of ferroelectric materials. The molecules exhibit excellent solubility in common organic solvents and good stability against unwanted hydrolysis. The nature of the thermal decomposition of the complexes has been explored by thermogravimetric analysis and powder X-ray diffraction. We have shown that the complexes are converted to the corresponding oxide by heating in an oxygen atmosphere at 500 degrees C. The mass loss of the complexes, as indicated by thermogravimetric analysis, and the resulting unit cell parameters of the oxides are consistent with the formation of the desired heterobimetallic oxide. The complexes decomposed to form the bismuth-rich phases Bi(4)Ti(3)O(12) and Bi(5)Nb(3)O(15) as well as the expected oxides BiMO(4) (M = Nb, Ta) and Bi(2)Ti(4)O(11).     

Toward a general strategy for the synthesis of heterobimetallic coordination complexes for use as precursors to metal oxide materials: synthesis, characterization, and thermal decomposition of Bi(2)(Hsal)(6).M(acac)(3) (M = Al, Co, V, Fe, Cr)

Bismuth(III) salicylate, [Bi(Hsal)(3)](n), reacts readily with the trivalent metal beta-diketonate compounds M(acac)(3) (acac = acetylacetonate; M = Al, V, Cr, Fe, Co) to produce trinuclear coordination complexes of the general formula Bi(2)(Hsal)(6).M(acac)(3) (M = Al, V, Cr, Fe, Co) in 60-90% yields. Spectroscopic and single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments indicate that these complexes possess an unusual asymmetric nested structure in both solution and solid state. Upon standing in dichloromethane solution, Bi(2)(Hsal)(6).Co(acac)(3) eliminates Bi(Hsal)(3) to give the 1:1 adduct Bi(Hsal)(3).Co(acac)(3). The 2:1 heterobimetallic molecular compounds undergo facile thermal decomposition on heating in air to 475 degrees C to produce heterometallic oxide materials, which upon annealing for 2 h at 700 degrees C form crystalline oxide materials. The synthetic approach detailed here represents a unique, general approach to the formation of heterobimetallic bismuth-based coordination complexes via the coordination of M(acac)(3) complexes to bismuth(III) salicylate.     

Isolation of a Bismuth Chloride-Iron Carbonyl Adduct: Synthesis and Structural Characterization of [PhCH(2)NMe(3)](2)[Bi(2)Cl(4)(&mgr;-Cl)(2){&mgr;-Fe(CO)(4)}

The reaction of bismuth(III) chloride with [PhCH(2)NMe(3)](2)[Fe(CO)(4)] at a ratio of 2:1 in acetonitrile yields the iron carbonyl-bismuth chloride adduct [PhCH(2)NMe(3)](2)[Bi(2)Cl(4)(&mgr;-Cl)(2){&mgr;-Fe(CO)(4)}] cleanly in high yield. The complex consists of two BiCl(3) groups bridged by an [Fe(CO)(4)](2)(-) unit. Two chloride ligands are shared between the Bi atoms, producing square-pyramidal coordination at bismuth and octahedral coordination at the iron center. The production of this complex represents the synthesis of a stable adduct of a highly nucleophilic metal carbonyl anion with a strongly Lewis acidic main group halide. The compound C(24)H(32)N(2)O(4)Bi(2)Cl(6)Fe crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pba2 (No. 32) with cell parameters a = 14.624(3) ?, b = 17.010(3) ?, c = 7.1990(10) ?, V = 1790.8(5) ?(3), and Z = 2.     

Copper and Bismuth Complexes Containing Dipyridyl gem-Diolato Ligands: Bi(III)(2)[(2-Py)(2)CO(OH)](2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4)(THF)(2), Cu(II)[(2-Py)(2)CO(OH)](2)(HO(2)CCH(3))(2), and Cu(II)(4)[(2-Py)(2)CO(OH)](2)(O(2)CCH(3))(6)(H(2)O)(2), a Ferromagnetically Coupled Tetranuclear Copper(II) Chain

The reactions of the singly deprotonated di-2-pyridylmethanediol ligand (dpmdH(-)) with copper(II) and bismuth(III) have been investigated. A new dinuclear bismuth(III) complex Bi(2)(dpmdH)(2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4)(THF)(2), 1, has been obtained by the reaction of BiPh(3) with di-2-pyridyl ketone in the presence of HO(2)CCF(3) in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The reaction of Cu(OCH(3))(2) with di-2-pyridyl ketone, H(2)O, and acetic acid in a 1:2:2:2 ratio yielded a mononuclear complex Cu[(2-Py)(2)CO(OH)](2)(HO(2)CCH(3))(2), 2, while the reaction of Cu(OAC)(2)(H(2)O) with di-2-pyridyl ketone and acetic acid in a 2:1:1 ratio yielded a tetranuclear complex Cu(4)[(2-Py)(2)CO(OH)](2)(O(2)CCH(3))(6)(H(2)O)(2), 3. The structures of these complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Three different bonding modes of the dpmdH(-) ligand were observed in compounds 1-3. In 2, the dpmdH(-) ligand functions as a tridentate chelate to the copper center and forms a hydrogen bond between the OH group and the noncoordinating HO(2)CCH(3) molecule. In 1 and 3, the dpmdH(-) ligand functions as a bridging ligand to two metal centers through the oxygen atom. The two pyridyl groups of the dpmdH(-) ligand are bound to one bismuth(III) center in 1, while in 3 they are bound two copper(II) centers, respectively. Compound 3 has an unusual one dimensional hydrogen bonded extended structure. The intramolecular magnetic interaction in 3 has been found to be dominated by ferromagnetism.

Bismuth coordination chemistry with allyl, alkoxide, aryloxide, and tetraphenylborate ligands and the {[2,6-(Me2NCH2)2C6H3]2Bi}+ cation

A series of bis(aryl) bismuth compounds containing (N,C,N)-pincer ligands, [2,6-(Me(2)NCH(2))(2)C(6)H(3)](-) (Ar'), have been synthesized and structurally characterized to compare the coordination chemistry of Bi(3+) with similarly sized lanthanide ions, Ln(3+). Treatment of Ar'(2)BiCl, 1, with ClMg(CH(2)CH═CH(2)) affords the allyl complex Ar'(2)Bi(η(1)-CH(2)CH═CH(2)), 2, in which only one allyl carbon atom coordinates to bismuth. Complex 1 reacts with KO(t)Bu and KOC(6)H(3)Me(2)-2,6 to yield the alkoxide Ar'(2)Bi(O(t)Bu), 3, and aryloxide Ar'(2)Bi(OC(6)H(3)Me(2)-2,6), 4, respectively, but the analogous reaction with the larger KOC(6)H(3)(t)Bu(2)-2,6 forms [Ar'(2)Bi][OC(6)H(3)(t)Bu(2)-2,6], 6, in which the aryloxide ligand acts as an outer sphere anion. Chloride is removed from 1 by NaBPh(4) to form [Ar'(2)Bi][BPh(4)], 5, which crystallizes from THF in an unsolvated form with tetraphenylborate as an outer sphere counteranion.

The tetraphenylimidodiphosphinate [N-(P,P-diphenylphosphinoyl)-P,P-diphenylphosphinimidate] ion forms stable tris-chelates with the Bi(III), In(III), and Ga(III) cations. The crystal and molecular structures of [M{(OPPh(2))(2)N}(3)] (M = Ga, In, Bi) were determined by X-ray diffractometry. The geometry around the bismuth atom in compound 3 displays an approximately C(3)(v)() symmetry. This arrangement suggests the presence of a stereoactive lone pair of electrons, which is located in one of the triangular octahedral faces.

A basic bismuth(III) nitrate with the composition [Bi(6)O(4)(OH)(4)](0.5)[Bi(6)O(5)(OH)(3)](0.5)(NO(3))(5.5) formed in a slow crystal growth mode has an ordered crystal structure with the monoclinic space group P2(1) and lattice parameters a = 15.850(3), b = 14.986(3), c = 18.230(4) ?, β = 107.329(17)° and volume V = 4133.6 ?(3) (Henry et al. 2003). In a very fast crystal growth mode the complex ions disorder in another P2(1) cell with slightly different lattice parameters a = 15.8404(1), b = 15.1982(1), c = 18.3122(1) ?, β = 106.829(1)° and V = 4219.8 ?(3). This cell can be related to two smaller cells: a monoclinic C2/m cell with a = 13.7161(1), b = 15.1943(1), c = 10.2399(1) ?, β = 98.586(1)° and V = 2110.1 ?(3) and a trigonal R3 cell with a = 15.18650(6), c = 15.8416(1) ? (hexagonal setting) and V = 3164.1 ?(3). These smaller cells correspond to average structures and hence the X-ray data do not account for the difference in the structures of the two different complex ions. However, when analysing neutron powder diffraction data, it is possible to distinguish between the two complex ions using a trigonal R3 cell with a = 15.1865(1) and c = 15.8416(1) ? (hexagonal setting). In a Rietveld type structure model refinement with a total of 28 atom sites (4 Bi, 3 N, 15 O and 6 H), the composition of this sample is determined to be [Bi(6)O(4)(OH)(4)](0.54(1))[Bi(6)O(5)(OH)(3)](0.46(1))(NO(3))(5.54(1)).
