Synthesis,structure and magnetism of a novel Cu_4~ⅡTi_5~Ⅳ heterometallic cluster

A nonanuclear Cu_4~ⅡTi_5~Ⅳ heterometallic cluster,[Ti_5 Cu_4 O_6(ba)_(16)](1,Hba=benzoic acid) was synthesized in one-pot reaction under the solvothermal condition.The metallic skeleton 1 contains a Ti_5 core constructed from two vertex-shared Ti_3 triangles and four separated Cu atoms outside which are connected together by μ_3-O~2 ions.Total 16 ba ligands adopt μ_2-η~1:η~1 coordination mode to protect the overall hetero metallic co re.Due to the unique d-d transitions of Cu~Ⅱ ion,the reflectance spectrum of 1 displays broad and strong absorption towards visible light extending to the near-infrared region.Moreover,1 shows almost purely paramagnetic behavior with the presence of weak antiferromagnetic interactions at low temperatures.     

Ligand Effects in Dinitrogen Hydrogenation of Binuclear Zirconium Complexes

In this work, we report a theoretical exploration of the ground-state electronic structures and molecular vibrational properties of a series of binuclear zirconium complexes in the framework of density functional theory （DFT） employing the B3LYP hybrid functional. The calculated results reveal that the electronic structure of the complex [（η^5-C5Me5）2Zr]2（μ^2, η^2, η^2-N2） is unfavorable for hydrogenation due to the exclusion of side-on dinitrogen in the LUMO＋ 1 molecular orbital as compared with the reactant 1 [（η^5-C5Me4H）2Zr]2（μ2,η^2,η^2-N2）. Besides, the structural feature of the hypothetical intermediate 1′, [（η^5C5Me4H）2Zr]2（μ2,η^2, η^2-N2）-n2, clearly implies the possibility of further hydrogenation. In addition, the distinguishing of vibrational modes of experimental intermediate 2, [（η^5-C5Me4H）2ZrH]2（μ2,η^2,η^2-N2H2）, indicates that the asymmetric stretching of Zr-N and Zr-H leads to dissociation. Moreover, the vibrational intensity of Zr-H is stronger than that of Zr-N. Therefore, it can be predicted that excess hydrogen atmosphere is necessary to ensure the dissociation of Zr-N bonds.     

Luminescent Tetranuclear Copper（l） Phenylacetylide Complex with Cyclohexyl Isocyanide

Depolymerizing polymeric phenylacetylide copper(I)[Cu(C≡CPh)]n with cyclohexyl isocyanide (CNCy) gave the tetranuclear copper(I) complex Cu4(CNCy)4(μ-η^1-C≡CPh)2(μ3-η^1,η^2,η^2C≡CPh)2. The crystal structure was determined X-ray crystallography. The phenylacetylide adopts μ-η^1 and μ3-η^1,η^2,η^2bonding modes. The complexshows intense luminescence in solidstate.     

One—dimensional Network Constructed by Salicylate and Phenanthroline Ligands with Copper（Ⅱ）

A novel complex,[Cu2(phen)(sal)(Hsal)2]n(1),was synthesized and structurally characterized.The basic dimeric units are hold by sal ligands and extended into 1-D network.The carboxylate grougs of salicylates coordinate to the central ion in three different coordination modes:chelating,bridging and bridging-chelating.In the case of bridging-chelating of the carboxylate group of the salicylate,all three oxygen atoms of salicylate are bidentately coordinated to copper ion,namely,μ4-η^3 binding mode.     

(Ph2N)2Sm(THF)4与偶氮苯的反应：[(Ph2N)(DME)Sm]2(μ-η2:η2-N2Ph2)2的合成、X－光结构和催化行为

Reaction of divalent (Ph2N)2Sm(THF)4 with 1 equiv, of azobenzene in THF and then crystallization of the product in DME-Et2O mixed solvent produced the complex of [(PhEN)(DME)Sm]E(μ-η^2:η^2-N2Ph2)2 (1) in 65.0% yield. In complex 1, azobenzene molecules were reduced to be dianionic Ph2N2^2- ligands, bridging two samarium ions in two η^2:η^2 fashions. One samarium ion was bonded to a DME molecule and a diphenyl amido ligand besides two Ph2N2^2- ligands. The unusual Ln-η^2-arene close interaction was found for the first time for diphenyl amido lanthanides. Complex 1 could catalyze the polymerization of methyl methacrylate and acrylonitrile     

几个金属卤素簇的合成与性能研究

The hydrothermal reaction of CuBr2 and CuBr with phen·H2O （phen= 1,10-phenanthroline） in a molar ratio of 1：1：1.5 gave birth to the first copper-halo cationic cluster [Cu2^Ⅱ Cu2^Br4 （phen）4 ] ^2＋（1） with tetranuclear anionic cluster [Cu4Br6]^2-. Changing the precursors or their molar ratios, two mononuclear complexes [Cu（phen）2Br]Br·H2O （2） and [Ni（phen）3][CuCl2]2 （3） as well as two unusual copper-halo chains found in polymers [Cu2Br2（phen）]∞ （4） and [Cu^ⅡCu3^ⅠBr2Ⅰ3 （phen）2 ]∞ （5） were obtained. The （Cu2Br2）∞ chain of 4 looks like a linearar ray of hexagons based on fused Cu3Br3 units, and the linear （Cu3Ⅰ3Br^-）∞ chain of 5 is an alternate combination of the rhombic Cu2I2 cores and the Cu4I4Br2^2- units. In addition, the hydrothermal reaction of CuBr2 with NA（NA=nicotinic acid） or INA （INA =isonicotinic acid） resulted in the syntheses of two compounds [CuBr（NA）] （6） and [CuBr（INA）]∞（7） containing staircase chain. Among them the third-order non-linear optical properties of 2, 5, 6 and 7 were investigated and all exhibit the reverse saturable absorption （α2〉0） and self-defocusing performance （n2〈0）.     

TDDFT Study on the Electronic Excitations and First Hyperpolarizabilities of Mixed-metal Carbonyl Clusters W2Ir2（μ-L）（CO）8（η^5-C5H4Me）2（L = dppe/dppf）

Mixed-metal carbonyl clusters of W2Ir2（CO）10（η^5-C5H4Me）2 1 and W2Ir2（μ-L）（CO）8（η^5-C5H4Me）2 （L = dppe 2, dppf 3） have been studied by TDDFT method focusing on their electronic and nonlinear optical properties. These three clusters exhibit the first static hyperpolarizabilities of medium magnitude （βtot-10×10^-30 esu）. The origin of β is discussed by the new proposed orbital-pair decomposition scheme by Barandes et al. The result suggests that the β values of the two clusters are mainly originated from d-d electron transition within the metal skeleton, and d-p （π＊） electron transition from metals to carbonyls and phenyl. The additional coordination by the electron donor group, ferrocene, makes cluster 3 own much larger β values, and the relatively longer range charge transfer from d orbitals of ferrocene to d orbirals of Ir and W is responsible for the enhanced β values.     

Adsorption Behavior for CO on Modified MCM—41 with Zn and CuCl

The Zn-Cu(I)/HMCM-41 catalysts were successfully prepared in laboratory scale by solid-state ion exchange with CuCl salt,together with introduction of Zn to improve the dispersion degree of the active component Cu(I) on the surface. With increase of the amounts of Zn and CuCl from 0% to 9.0% and 25.0% respectively, CO adsorption the amounts of increased from 10.6μmol/g to 183.0μmol/g correspondingly. The in situ FT-IR spectra for CO adsorption demonstrated that there existed two dynamic equilibriums between surface carbonyl complexes:Cu(CO)3^ ←→Cu(CO)2^ CO and Cu(CO)2^ ←→Cu(CO)^ CO.The equilibriums can be shifted reversibly by changing the temperature and pressure.Due to the modified MCM-41 mesoporous materials possess both of the acidic and metallic carbonyl centers, this kind of material can be developed into mesoporous bifunctional catalysts for carbonylation reactions, in which larger molecules are involved.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Binuclear Cd（ Ⅱ ） Coordination Polymer Based on 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylate and Imidazole

The hydrothermal reaction of Cd（OAc）2.H2O with 1,2-benzenedicarboxylate （1,2-BDC）, imidazole and H2O resulted in the formation of a binuclear polymeric Cd（ Ⅱ ） complex {[Cd2（1,2-BDC）2（Im）4].（H2O）}n which was then characterized by elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal is of monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 14.6455（3）, b = 9.3530（2）, c = 23.7838（5）A, β= 106.6290（10）°, Cl12H104CdgN32O36, Mr = 3373.47, V = 3121.64（11）A^3, Dc = 1.795 g/cm^3, F（000） = 1672,μ= 1.428 cm^-1 and Z = 1. The final R = 0.0316 and wR = 0.0687 for 5045 reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. In the title complex, the two Cd（ Ⅱ） ions are in different coordination environments with distorted octahedral and pengonal bipyramidal geometries, respectively. Two Cd polyhedra are linked together through one μ2-η^1：η^1 and one μ2-η^1：η^1 carboxylate groups from different 1,2-BDC ligands, giving rise to a binuclear Cd（ Ⅱ ） cluster, and such clusters are connected by bridged 1,2-BDC ligands to form a 2-D structure along the c axis. The inter- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds further connect the 2-D structures into a 3-D supramolecular network.     

Cu/ZnO-TiO2复合半导体光催化材料的制备与表征

The metallic Cu modified n-p coupled semiconductors Cu/ZnO-TiO₂ were prepared by sol-gel method, and their crystal structure, surface composition and absorptivity of UV light were investigated by techniques of DTA-TG, XRD, TEM, BET, TPR, IR and UV-Vis. The results show that the main crystal structure of the coupled-semiconductors is anatase TiO₂ with the particle size in the range of 10～16 nm and BET surface area above 80 m²·g^-1. In the process of Sol-gel the probability to form ZnO is reduced because of the dilution of Zn²⁺ with Ti(OC₄H₉)₄. But through the molecular-level contact with TiO₂, Zn²⁺ cations take the places of the O-tetrahedral and O-octahedral centers to partly form Zn₂TiO₄, and the coupling effects decrease the reflectivity of semiconductors in the wavelength region of 250～400 nm. A photo-exciting mechanism of the semiconductors embedded with metallic Cu was proposed. The Fermi energy of metallic Cu is in the band gap of ZnO and TiO₂, so the addition of metallic Cu offers new energy bands to give and receive the photoelectrons, thus expanding the absorption region of the semiconductors to visible light.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of the double barium-titanium methoxide [Ba2Ti4O(OMe)18(MeOH)7]·MeOH

The X-ray diffraction study of crystals isolated from solutions obtained by reaction of Ba(OMe)₂ with Ti(OMe)₄ (molar ratio 1:2) in methyl alcohol was carried out; the crystals of the methanol solvate of the double barium-titanium methoxide, [Ba₂Ti₄O(OMe)₁₈(MeOH)₇]·MeOH (1), contain two Ba²⁺ cations with different environments and two kinds of anionic binuclear titanium complexes with and without oxo-ligand, and thus can be formulated as [Ba(MeOH)₂]²⁺[Ba(MeOH)₅]²⁺[Ti₂O(OMe)₈]²⁻[Ti₂(OMe)₁₀]²⁻·MeOH.     

The tungsten-tungsten triple bond---18. Bridging and terminal allyl ligands in complexes of the formula W2(R)2(NMe2)4, where R = C3H5 and C4H7

The reaction between RMgCl (two equivalents) and 1,2-W₂Cl₂(NMe₂)₄ in hydrocarbon solvents affords the compounds W₂R₂(NMe₂)₄, where R = allyl and 1− and 2-methyl-allyl. In the solid state the molecular structure of W₂(C₃H₅)₂(NMe₂)₄ has C₂ symmetry with bridging allyl ligands and terminal W---NMe₂ ligands. The W---W distance 2.480(1) Å and the C---C distances, 1.47(1) Å, imply an extensive mixing of the allyl π-MOs with the WW π-MOs, and this is supported by an MO calculation on the molecule W₂(C₃H₅)₂(NH₂)₄ employing the method of Fenske and Hall. The most notable interaction is the ability of the (WW)⁶⁺ centre to donate to the allyl π^*-MO (π₃). This interaction is largely responsible for the long W---W distance, as well as the long C---C distances, in the allyl ligand. The structure of the 2-methyl-allyl derivative W₂(C₄H₇)₂(NMe₂)₄ in the solid state reveals a gauche-W₂C₂N₄ core with W---W = 2.286(1) Å and W---C = 2.18(1) Å, typical of WW and W---C triple and single bonds, respectively. In solution (toluene-d₈) ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra over a temperature range −80°C to +60°C indicate that both anti- and gauche- W₂C₂N₄ rotamers are present for the 2-methyl-allyl derivative. In addition, there is a facile fluxional process that equilibrates both ends of the 2-methyl-allyl ligand on the NMR time-scale. This process leads to a coalescence at 100°C and is believed to take place via an η³-bound intermediate. The 1-methyl-allyl derivative also binds in an η¹ fashion in solution and temperature-dependent rotations about the W---N, W---C and C=C bonds are frozen out at low temperatures. The spectra of the allyl compound W₂(C₃H₅)₂(NMe₂)₄ revealed the presence of two isomers in solution—one of which can be readily reconciled with the presence of the bridging isomer found in the solid state while the other is proposed to be W₂(η³-C₃H₅)₂(NMe₂)₄. The compound W₂R₂(NMe₂)₄ where R = 2,4-dimethyl- pentadiene was similarly prepared and displayed dynamic NMR behaviour explainable in terms of facile η¹ = η³ interconversions.     

Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of [Ph2PMe2][(η-C5H4Bu)2Li] and [(η-C5H4Bu)2Yb(Cl)CH2P(Me)Ph2]

The interaction of [(η⁵-C₅H₄Bu^t)₂YbCl · LiCl] with one equivalent of Li[(CH₂) (CH₂)PPh₂] in tetrahydrofuran gave [Ph₂PMe₂][(η⁵-C₅H₄Bu^t)₂Li] (1) and [(η⁵-C₅H₄Bu^t)₂Yb(Cl)CH₂P(Me)Ph₂] (2) in 10% and 30% yields, respectively. 1 could also be prepared in 70% yield from the reaction of [Ph₂PMe₂][CF₃SO₃] with two equivalents of (C₅H₄Bu^t)Li. Both compounds have been fully characterized by analytical, spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods. The solid state structure of 1 reveals a sandwich structure for the [(η⁵-C₅H₄Bu^t)₂Li]⁻ anion.     

Substituted metal carbonyls XIII. Fe(CO)4(η-dppf) [where DPPF = (Ph2PC5H4)2Fe]: a convenient building block for heterometallic complexes

The potential of Fe(CO)₄(η¹-dppf) (dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) as a precursor for heterometallic species is fully expanded in the synthesis of (OC)₄Fe(μ-dppf)Cr(CO)₅, (OC)₄Fe(μ-dppf)W(CO)₅, and (OC)₄Fe(μ-dppf)Mn₂(CO)₉, all of which have been characterized by IR, NMR (¹H and ³¹P) and elemental analyses. The low energy requirement of TMNO (Me₃NO · 2H₂O)decarbonylation allows the formation of monosubstituted Mn₂(CO)₁₀ as the major product. This aspect is further substantiated by the isolation of Mn₄(CO)₁₈(μ-dppf) in which the single bridging of a diphosphine group between two Mn₂(CO)₉ moieties is unprecedented.     

新型桥联双四面体簇合物的合成与表征

利用(μ₃-CCO₂Et)Co₃(CO)₉与单阴离子试剂[Mo(CO)₃(η⁵-C₅H₄R)]-[R=H,C(O)Me]的反应合成了2个新的含CCo₂Mo骨架的簇合物(μ₃-CCO₂Et)Co₂Mo(CO)₈(η⁵-C₅H₄R)[R=H(1);R=C(O)Me(2)],进而用其与双阴离子试剂{-M(CO)₃[η⁵-C₅H₄C(O)]}₂-1,4-C₆H₄[M=Mo,W]反应合成了4个双四面体簇合物{(μ₃-CCO₂Et)CoMoM(CO)₇(η⁵-C₅H₄R)[η⁵-C₅H₄C(O)]}₂-1,4-C₆H₄[M=Mo,R=H(3);M=Mo,R=C(O)Me(4);M=W,R=H(5);M=W,R=C(O)Me(6)].这6个化合物的C和H元素分析,IR,¹HNMR等表征都与其结构一致.晶体X射线衍射分析表明,化合物2属单斜晶系,C₂/c空间群,晶胞参数a=1.1264(3)nm,b=1.1879(3)nm,c=3.3565(10)nm,β=93.320(5)°,V=4.484(2)nm₃,Z=8,D_c=1.867g·cm^-3,F(000)=2480,R=0.0369,wR=0.1150.     

A novel arene bonding mode in the mixed-metal cluster Os4Ru(μ-H) 3(CO) 12(μ3-η-C6H5) P(OMe)3

The ionic coupling of [Os₄H₂(CO)₁₂]²⁻ with [Ru(η⁶-C₆H₆)(MeCN)₃]²⁺ affords the neutral mixed metal cluster Os₄Ru(μH)₂(CO)₁₂(η⁶-C₆H₆) 1. The reaction of 1 with trimethylphosphite leads to the initial formation of the addition product Os₄Ru(μH)₂(CO)₁₂(η⁶-C₆H₆)P(OMe)₃ 2, but this complex rearranges in solution to give Os₄Ru(μ-H)₃(CO)₁₂(μ₃-η⁶-C₆H₅)P(OMe)₃ 3. An X-ray structure of 3 shows that the metal core of the cluster is a ruthenium-spiked Os₄ tetrahedron, with one hydrogen atom from the arene having transferred to the Os₄ core, and one arene carbon bridging an Os-Os edge, while the ring as a whole remains η⁶-bound to the Ru atom.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of (C8h8)Nd(C5H9C5H4) (THF)2 and [(C8H8)Gd(C5H9C4H4(THF)][(C8H8)GD(C5H9C5H4(THF)2]

LnCl₃ (Ln=Nd, Gd) reacts with C₅H₉C₅H₄Na (or K₂C₈H₈) in THF (C₅H₉C₅H₄ = cyclopentylcyclopentadienyl) in the ratio of 1 : to give (C₅H₉C₅H₄)LnCl₂(THF)_n (orC₈H₈)LnCl₂(THF)_n], which further reacts with K₂C₈H₈ (or C₅H₉C₅H₄Na) in THF to form the litle complexes. If Ln=Nd the complex (C₈H₈)Nd(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF)₂ (a) was obtained: when Ln=Gd the 1 : 1 complex [(C₈H₈)Gd(C_%H₉)(THF)][(C₈H₈)Gd(C₅H₉H₄)(THF)₂] (b) was obtained in crystalline form.

The crystal structure analysis shows that in (C₈H₈)Ln(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF)₂ (Ln=Nd or Gd), the Cyclopentylcyclopentadieny (η⁵), cyclooctatetraenyl (η⁸) and two oxygen atoms from THF are coordinated to Nd³⁺ (or Gd³⁺) with coordination number 10.

The centroid of the cyclopentadienyl ring (Cp′) in C₅H₉C₅H₄ group, cyclooctatetraenyl centroid (COTL) and two oxygens (THF) form a twisted tetrahedron around Nd³⁺ (or Gd³⁺). In (C₈H₈)Gd(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF), the cyclopentyl-cyclopentadienyl (η⁵), cyclooctatetraenyl (η⁸) and one oxygen atom are coordinated to Gd³⁺ with the coordination number of 9 and Cp′, COT and oxygen atom form a triangular plane around Gd³⁺, which is almost in the plane (dev. -0.0144 Å).     

Synthesis and structure of a new selenium-bridged tungsten cluster, [W3Se7(S2P(OEt)2)3]Br

[W₃Se₇(S₂P(OEt)₂)₃]Br was prepared by reacting (Et₄N)₂W₃Se₇Br₆ with KS₂P (OEt)₂ in CH₃CN and its crystal structure determined. In the [W₃(μ₃-Se)(μ₂-Se₂)₃]⁴⁺ core the W---W bond length is 2.755(5)-2.764(6) Å and the Se---Se bond length is 2.32(1)- 2.34(4) Å.     

The coordinatively unsaturated cluster cations [Pt3{M(CO)3}(μ-Ph2PCH2PPh2)3] (M = Re, Mn)

The coordinatively unsaturated cluster [Pt₃(μ₃-CO)(μ-dppm)₃]²⁺ (1, dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) reacts with Na⁺[M(CO)₅]⁻ to give the mixed metal clusters [Pt₃{M(CO)₃}(μ-dppm)₃]⁺ (M = Re, 2; Mn, 3). The new clusters are characterized by spectroscopic methods and, for M = Re, by an X-ray structure determination. The Pt₃Re core in 2 is tetrahedral with particularly short metal-metal distances.     

溶液中钪与草酸离子的配位作用

提钪工艺中常使草酸钪溶于过量草酸铵溶液中。但文献中有关钪与草酸离子配位作用的报导甚少。等用分光光度法测定了ScC₂O₄⁺配离子的稳定常数,而J·Stary则用分配法测定了SC(C₂O₄)₃^3-配离子的稳定常数,这些工作都没有对溶液中可能生成各级配离子进行研究。
