A Novel Three-Dimensional Network Isophthalato-Bridged Lanthanide Complex: {Ln[C6H4(COO−)2-1,3](CH3COO−)(H2O)2}·H2O

The three-dimensional network of lanthanide (III) complexes with isophthalato (IPT) ligand, (Eu[C₆H₄(COO^?)₂-1,3](CH₃COO^?)(H₂O)₂}·H₂O 1 and {Sm[C₆H₄(COO^?)₂-1,3](CH₃COO^?) (H₂O)₂} H₂O 2, has been prepared by the hydro(solvo)thermal reaction of Eu(C1O₄)₃·6H₂O or Sm(C1O₄)₃·6H₂O, 1,3-dicyanobenzene and acetic acid in the presence of ethanol and H₂O. In the reaction, 1,3-dicyanobenzene was hydrolyzed to give IPT ligand. Single crystal x-ray analysis revealed that crystals 1 and 2 are isomorphous with the isostructural {M[C₆H₄(COO^?)₂-1,3](CH₃COO^?)(H₂O)₂}·H₂O unit. In 1 and 2, IPT acts as a bridging ligand to connect three adjacent metal atoms, forming a network like an undulating sheet paralleling the bc plane. The carboxylate from acetate bridges two adjacent metal atoms in a tridentate mode between the different sheets to extend the structure into a three-dimensional network.     

A series of trinuclear sandwich-like cyanide-bridged iron(III)-manganese(II) complexes: synthesis,crystal structures,and magnetic properties

Four pyridinecarboxamide iron dicyanide building blocks and one Mn(III) compound have been employed to assemble cyanide-bridged heterometallic complexes, resulting in a series of trinuclear cyanide-bridged Fe^III–Mn^II complexes: {[Mn(DMF)₂ (MeOH)₂][Fe(bpb)(CN)₂]₂}·2DMF (1), {[Mn(MeOH)₄][Fe(bpmb)(CN)₂]₂}·2MeOH·2H₂O (2), {[Mn(MeOH)₄][Fe(bpdmb)(CN)₂]₂}·2MeOH·2H₂O (3) and {[Mn(MeOH)₄][Fe(bpClb)(CN)₂]₂}·4MeOH (4) (bpb²⁻ = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)benzenate, bpmb²⁻ = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)-4-methyl-benzenate, bpdmb²⁻ = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)-4,5-dimethyl-benzenate, bpClb²⁻ = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)-4-chloro-benzenate). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows their similar sandwich-like structures, in which the two cyanide-containing building blocks act as monodentate ligands through one of their two cyanide groups to coordinate the Mn(II) center. Investigation of the magnetic properties of these complexes reveals antiferromagnetic coupling between the neighboring Fe(III) and Mn(II) centers through the bridging cyanide group. A best fit to the magnetic susceptibilities of complexes 1 and 3 gave the magnetic coupling constants J = −1.59(2) and −1.32(4) cm⁻¹, respectively.     

Self-assembly of ionic triorganotin(IV) complexes of tetrafluorophthalic acid with a tetranuclear macrocyclic or polymeric structure: syntheses,characterization and crystal structures

Four triorganotin(IV) complexes constructed from tetrafluorophthalic acid (H₂tfp) with a 1?:?1?:?1 molar ratio of H₂tfp: Et₃N: R₃SnCl gave two of type {[R₃Sn (tfp)].Et₃NH}₄ (R?=?Me 1, R?=?n-Bu 2), and two of type [R₃Sn (tfp).Et₃NH] _n (R?=?PhCH₂ 3, Ph 4). All the complexes are characterized by elemental, IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR analyses. Complexes 1 and 4 were also confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 is tetranuclear with a 28-membered C₁₆O₈Sn₄ macrocyclic ring system with a cavity. The supramolecular structure of 1 has been found to consist of a three-dimensional network built up by intermolecular N–H?···?O, C–H?···?O hydrogen bonds and C–F?···?F weak interactions. Complex 4 is an infinite polymeric structure. The salient feature of the supramolecular structure of 4 is that of a two-dimensional plane, in which intermolecular N–H?···?O and C–H?···?π hydrogen bonds are important.
