Two 3D supramolecules with helices constructed by hydrogen bonds based on p-thioacetatebenzoic acid ligand

Abstract  

p-Thioacetatebenzoic acid (H₂L) and a combination of N-donor ligands such as 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) and 1,3-bi(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) with metal ions Mn(II) and Ni(II) give rise to two coordination polymers, namely, [Mn(HL)₂(bpp)₂(H₂O)₂] _n (1), [NiL (4,4′-bipy)(H₂O)₃] _n ·nH₂O (2). 1 features an unusual “8” shaped double layer by hydrogen bonds and two different types of helical chains are arrayed alternatively in the 2D double layer framework, which further extends into a 3D supramolecular structure through C–H···O hydrogen bonds. 2 consists of 1D chains which further connect with each other via hydrogen bonds to form the final 3D framework including two different types of helical structure. Photoluminescence study reveals that 1 displays intense structure-related fluorescent emission bands (λ _ex = 369 nm) at 414 nm in the solid state at room temperature. Electrochemical property of 2 reveals that the process of the redox is irreversible.     

Synthesis,crystal structures,and magnetic properties of two manganese(II) coordination polymers bearing 1,1′-biphenyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate ligands

Two Mn(II) coordination polymers, namely [Mn(bpda)] _n (1) and [Mn(bpda)(bpy)_0.5] _n (2) (H₂bpda = 1,1′-biphenyl-3,3′-dicarboxylic acid and bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine), have been synthesized from H₂bpdc, bpy, and MnSO₄·2H₂O under hydrothermal conditions. The complexes were characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods, as well as by X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 possesses a 3D structure consisting of carboxylate-bridged edge-sharing Mn–O–Mn double chains. Compound 2 features a 3D open structure with a dinuclear Mn(II) secondary building unit. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of compounds 1 and 2 exhibit antiferromagnetic interactions between the nearest Mn(II), with J = –11.3 cm⁻¹ and g = 2.12 for 1, and J = –13.5 cm⁻¹ and g = 2.12 for 2.     

Coordination polymers with adamantanediacetate bridges: syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties

Abstract  Two new coordination polymers, [CoL(bpp)] _n (1) and [MnL(bipy)] _n ·0.25nH₂L·0.5nH₂O (2) (H₂L = 1,3-adamantanediacetic acid, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine), were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. Complex 1 is an one-dimensional (1D) chain structure of Co(II) bridged by L²⁻ as well as bpp. Complex 2 consists of a two-dimensional (2D) (3,6)-connected topology layer structure. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements in the range of 2–300 K reveal the existence of weak antiferromagnetic interactions in two complexes with J = −1.74 cm⁻¹, g = 2.26 for 1 and J = −0.10 cm⁻¹, g = 1.67 for 2.

Syntheses, structures and properties of two new neodymium complexes with N-P-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl-glycine acid

Two new neodymium complexes, [Nd₂(abglyH)₆(2,2′-bipy)₂(H₂O)₂] · 4H₂O 1 and {[Nd(abglyH)₃(H₂O)₂] · (4,4′-bipy) · 7H₂O}_n 2 (abglyH₂ = N-P-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl-glycine acid, 2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine), have been synthesized and their structures have been measured by X-ray crystallography. In 1, nine-coordinated Nd(III) ions are bridged by two syn–syn bidentate and two tridentate bridging carboxylate groups from four different abglyH⁻ anions to form dinuclear motifs, which are further connected into a 3-D supramolecular framework via hydrogen bonds between the binuclear motifs and the uncoordinated water molecules. In 2, eight-coordinated Nd(III) ions are linked by six carboxylate groups adopting a syn–syn bidentate bridging fashion to form a 1-D inorganic–organic alternating linear chain. These polymeric chains generate microchannels extending along the a direction, and these cavities are occupied by discrete tetradecameric water clusters, which interact with their surroundings and finally furnish the 3-D supramolecular network via hydrogen bonds. At the same time, π–π stacking interactions between benzene rings from abglyH⁻ anions also play an important role in stabilizing the network.

Two new supramolecular metal–organic complexes have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Complex 1 exhibits a three-dimensional supramolecular network, constructed from [Co₂(H₃BPTC)₂(phen)₂] (H₄BPTC = 3,3′4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylate acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) discrete units.

It is interesting that during the synthesis of complex 1, the H₄BPTC ligands undergo partial decomposition to give 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylate (H₃BTC) ligands, which react with Co to form [Co₃(BTC)₂]_n (3). Complex 3 shows a three-dimensional covalent network. The magnetic properties of complexes 1 and 2 have been studied.

Abstract  

p-Thioacetatebenzoic acid (H₂L) and a combination of N-donor ligand of 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) with metal(II) ions give rise to three 3D supramolecules of general formula [M(HL)₂(4,4′-bipy)₂(H₂O)₂] · H₂O, M = Co^II (1), Zn^II (2), Ni^II (3), which were characterized by crystallographic methods. The crystals are isostructural and belong to the triclinic P[`1] P\bar{1} space group. The structure can be considered to construct from 1D chains and further linked by hydrogen bonds into the final 3D supramolecular networks. The electrochemical behavior of complexes 1 and 3 were studied by cyclic voltammetry, indicating that the electron transfers in the electrode reaction are irreversible. Meanwhile, complex 2 exhibits significantly red-shifted emission in solid state at room temperature.

Four complexes with a bulky carboxylate ligand: syntheses,crystal structures,and luminescent properties

Abstract  

Four complexes of 3,3-diphenylpropanoate (L) and 4,4′-bipyridine as auxiliary bridging ligands were synthesized and characterized, namely [Zn(L)₂(4bpy)(EtOH)₂]_∞ (1), [Co(L)₂(4bpy)(EtOH)₂]_∞ (2), [Ni(L)₂(4bpy)(EtOH)₂]_∞ (3), and [Cu(L)₂(4bpy)(H₂O)]_∞ (4) (4bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine). X-ray single-crystal diffraction analyses show that complexes 1–4 all take one-dimensional (1D) fishbone-like structures incorporating bridging 4bpy ligands. The complexes show different supramolecular frameworks interlinked via intermolecular hydrogen bonds, π···π stacking, and/or C–H···π supramolecular interactions. Complex 3 only has a simple one-dimensional fishbone-like chain, whereas complexes 1 and 2 show two-dimensional supramolecular structures by interchain C–H···O hydrogen bonds. Complex 4 is assembled into two-dimensional layers and then an overall three-dimensional framework by a combination of interchain O–H···O hydrogen bonds and C–H···π supramolecular interactions. The luminescent properties of the ligands and their complexes were investigated.
