A New Polymer of Mixed‐Anions Complex [Pb(phen)(O2CCH3)(O2NO)]n (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline)

The single crystal X‐ray data of a mixed anions complex of Pb^II with 1,10‐Phenantroline, [Pb(phen)(O₂CCH₃)‐ (O₂NO)], shows the complex to be polymeric as a result of acetate ligand bridging. The Pb atom has an asymmetrical eightfold coordination of two nitrogen atoms of the 1,10‐phenanthroline ligand and six oxygen atoms of the nitrate and acetate anions. The arrangement of the 1,10‐phenantroline ligand, acetate and nitrate anions suggest a gap in the coordination around the Pb^II ion, occupied possibly by a stereoactive lone pair of electrons on lead(II) where the coordination around the lead atoms is hemidirected. There is a π‐π stacking interaction between the parallel aromatic rings of an adjacent chain in the compound which might help to increase the ‘gap' in the coordination around the Pb^II ion.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Polymeric Lead(II) Compound: [Pb2(phen)2(N3)3(ClO4)]n

A 2D lead(II) coordination polymer [Pb₂(phen)₂(N₃)₃(ClO₄)]_n,( 1 ) containing 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) and two different anions, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. The single‐crystal X‐ray data show two different kinds of Pb²⁺ ions with coordination numbers of eight, Pb1 = PbN₆O₂ and Pb2 = PbN₈, with hemidirected and holodirected structures, respectively. The supramolecular features in 1 is negiotated through the weak but directional C‐H···O and C‐H···N interactions and aromatic π–π stacking interactions.     

A Novel 1D Coordination Polymer [Pb(phen)(μ‐N3)(μ‐NO3)]n with the First Pb2‐(μ‐N3)2 Unit (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline)

A novel 1D polymeric lead(II) complex containing the first Pb₂‐(μ‐N₃)₂ motif, [Pb(phen)(μ‐N₃)(μ‐NO₃)]_n (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline), has been synthesized and characterized. The single‐crystal X‐ray data showed the coordination number of Pb²⁺ ions to be eight (PbN₄O₄) with the Pb²⁺ ions having “stereo‐chemically active” electron lone pairs; the coordination sphere is hemidirected. The chains interact with each other via π‐π interactions to create a 3D framework.     

Two Novel Three‐Dimensional Lead(II) Coordination Polymers Involving 16‐Membered Rings: [Pb2(Bs‐glu)2(bipy)2] and [Pb2(Bs‐glu)2(phen)2]

The reaction of Pb(CH₃COO)₂·3H₂O with N‐benzesulfonyl‐L‐glutamic acid in the presence of 2, 2′‐bipyridine (bipy) or 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) produced two novel complexes [Pb₂(Bs‐glu)₂(bipy)₂] ( 1 ) and [Pb₂(Bs‐glu)₂(phen)₂] ( 2 ) (Bs‐glu = N‐benzesulfonyl‐L‐glutamic acid dianion). In 1 chains bearing alternative 16‐membered rings and Pb₂O₃ nodes are constructed from the interactions of Pb^II ions with the carboxylates of Bs‐glu ligands. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first lead(II) complex of carboxylates with the formation of chains of Pb₂O₃. In 2 the 16‐membered ring units are connected by centrosymmetric Pb₂O₂ nodes to form chains. Complexes 1 and 2 construct the 3‐D supramolecular architectures through versatile hydrogen bonds and π‐π stacking interactions.     

Direct Synthesis of PbO Nanoparticles From a Lead(II) Nano Coordination Polymer Precursor: Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and DFT Calculations of [Pb2(dmp)2(μ‐N3)2(μ‐ClO4)2]n with the First Pb2‐(μ‐ClO4)2 Unit

Nanostructures of a new coordination polymer of divalent lead with the ligand 2, 9‐dimethyl‐1, 10‐phenanthroline (dmp) containing the first Pb₂‐(μ‐ClO₄)₂ motif, [Pb₂(dmp)₂(μ‐N₃)₂(μ‐ClO₄)₂]_n ( 1 ), was synthesized by a sonochemical method that produces the coordination polymers at nano size. The new nanostructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Compound 1 was structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and the single‐crystal X‐ray data shows that the coordination number of Pb^II ions is six, (PbN₄O₂), with two N‐donor atoms from aza‐aromatic base ligands and four O‐donors from two perchlorate anions and two N‐donors from two azide anions. It has a “stereo‐chemically active” electron lone pair, and the coordination sphere is hemidirected. The supramolecular features in these complexes are guided and controlled by weak directional intermolecular interactions. The chains interact with each other through π–π stacking interactions creating a 3D framework. The structure of the title complex was optimized by density functional theory calculations. Calculated structural parameters and IR spectra for the title complex are in agreement with the crystal structure. The PbO nanoparticles were obtained by thermolysis of 1 at 180 °C with oleic acid as a surfactant. The average diameter of the nanoparticles was estimated by the Scherrer equation to be 23 nm. The morphology and size of the prepared PbO samples were further observed using SEM.     

[Cu(phen)2(μ‐IDA)Cu(phen)](ClO4)2·CH3OH: tridentate and monodentate binding to two copper(II) species by a bridging ligand

The stoichiometric reaction of 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen), imino­di­acetic acid (IDA‐H₂) and Cu(ClO₄)₂ in a H₂O–CH₃OH (2:1) solution yields μ‐imino­diacetato‐2:1κ⁴O,N,O′:O′′‐tris(1,10‐phenanthroline)‐1κ⁴N,N′;2κ²N,N′‐dicopper(II) diperchlorate methanol solvate, [Cu₂(C₄H₅NO₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₃](ClO₄)₂·CH₃OH. The IDA ligand bridges the two Cu^II ions via a carboxyl­ate group and uses one further N and an O atom of the second carboxylate group to complete a fac‐tridentate coordination at one Cu centre. A phen ligand completes a distorted square‐pyramidal coordination at this metal atom, although there is weak coordination by a perchlorate O atom at a sixth position. The second Cu centre has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination to two phen moieties and a carboxyl­ate O atom.     

Poly[(N,N‐dimethylformamide‐κO)(μ3‐4,4′‐ethylenedibenzoato‐κ5O,O′:O′:O′′,O′′′)(pyrazino[2,3‐f][1,10]phenanthroline‐κ2N8,N9)lead(II)]

In the title Pb^II coordination polymer, [Pb(C₁₆H₁₀O₄)(C₁₄H₈N₄)(C₃H₇NO)]_n, each Pb^II atom is eight‐coordinated by two chelating N atoms from one pyrazino[2,3‐f][1,10]phenanthroline (L) ligand, one dimethylformamide (DMF) O atom and five carboxylate O atoms from three different 4,4′‐ethylenedibenzoate (eedb) ligands. The eedb dianions bridge neighbouring Pb^II centres through four typical Pb—O bonds and one longer Pb—O interaction to form a two‐dimensional structure. The C atoms from the L and eedb ligands form C—H...O hydrogen bonds with the O atoms of eedb and DMF ligands, which further stabilize the structure. The title compound is the first Pb^II coordination polymer incorporating the L ligand.     

Two‐Dimensional Holo‐ and Hemidirected Lead(II) Coordination Polymers: Synthetic,Spectroscopic, Thermal,and Structural Studies of [Pb(μ‐SCN)2(μ‐ebp)1.5]n and {[Pb(μ‐OAc)(μ‐ebp)](ClO4)}n (ebp=4,4′‐[(1E)‐Ethane‐1,2‐diyl]bis[pyridine]; OAc=Acetato)

Two new coordination polymers of Pb^II complexes with bridging 4,4′‐[(1E)‐ethane‐1,2‐diyl]bis[pyridine] (ebp), thiocyanato, and acetato ligands, [Pb(μ‐SCN)₂(μ‐ebp)_1.5]_n ( 1 ) and {[Pb(μ‐OAc)(μ‐ebp)](ClO₄)}_n ( 2 ), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, thermal analysis, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In 1 , the Pb²⁺ ions are doubly bridged by both the ebp and the SCN⁻ ligands into a two‐dimensional polymeric network. The seven‐coordinate geometry around the Pb²⁺ ion in 1 is a distorted monocapped trigonal prism, in which the Pb²⁺ ions have a less‐common holodirected geometry. In 2 , the Pb²⁺ ions are bridged by AcO⁻ ligands forming linear chains, which are also further bridged by the neutral ebp ligands into a two‐dimensional polymeric framework. The Pb²⁺ ions have a five‐coordinate geometry with two N‐atoms from two ebp ligands and three O‐atoms of AcO⁻. Although ClO acts as a counter‐ion, it also makes weak interactions with the Pb²⁺ center. The arrangement of the ligands in 2 exhibits hemidirected geometry, and the coordination gap around the Pb²⁺ ion is possibly occupied by a configurationally active lone pair of electrons.     

A bicapped trigonal–prismatic lead complex: catena‐poly[[[aqua­bis(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)lead(II)]‐μ‐squarato‐κO1:κ2O2,O3] dihydrate]

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Pb(C₄O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)]·2H₂O}_n, contains one squarate dianion, two phenanthroline (phen) ligands and one aqua ligand all coordinated to Pb, and two solvent water mol­ecules. The eight‐coordinate Pb metal ion displays a distorted bicapped trigonal–prismatic coordination environment, defined by three squarate O atoms, four N atoms from two chelating phen ligands and one O atom from the coordinated water mol­ecule. The crystal structure contains chains of squarate‐1,2,3‐bridged Pb^II ions running in the [010] direction. These polymeric chains are linked to one another via offset face‐to‐face π–π inter­actions between the phen ligands, which lead to a two‐dimensional network extending along the (001) plane. The crystal structure is also stabilized by O—H⋯O inter­molecular hydrogen‐bond inter­actions, forming a three‐dimensional network.     

Bis(μ‐2‐sulfonatobenzoato)bis[(1,10‐phenanthroline)­lead(II)] dihydrate

In the title centrosymmetric dimer, [Pb₂(sbc)₂(phen)₂]·2H₂O [sbc is the 2‐sulfonatobenzoate dianion (C₇H₄O₅S) and phen is 1,10‐phenanthroline (C₁₂H₈N₂)], each Pb^II ion is six‐coordinated by four O atoms, viz. carboxyl­ate and sulfonate O atoms from two sbc anions, and two N atoms from a 1,10‐phenanthroline ligand. One 1,10‐phenanthroline ligand and the carboxyl­ate group of one sbc ligand are chelated to each Pb^II cation, and the sulfonate group of the other sbc unit is monodentate. One O atom of the chelated carboxyl­ate group also bridges to the other Pb^II cation, so that each pair of Pb^II ions is bridged by two sbc anions and has the same coordination environment, forming a dinuclear ring. Each pair of Pb^II ions is thus connected by two different kinds of bridges, namely a carboxyl­ate short bridge and a carboxyl­ate–sulfonate long bridge. There is also a special position of site symmetry at the centre of the two Pb^II cations.     

Heteropolynuclear Sodium(I) Lead(II) Complex: Crystal and Molecular Structure of a Novel 3‐D Polymer, [(en)Pb(μ3‐ONO)2Na(μ3‐ONO)2Na(μ‐O2ClO2)Na]n

A novel 3D polymeric heteropolynuclear sodium(I) lead(II) complex containing different ligands, [NaPb(ClO₄)(en)(NO₂)₂] was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and IR, and ¹H‐, ¹³C‐, and ²⁰⁷Pb‐NMR spectroscopy. The single‐crystal X‐ray data of [NaPb(ClO₄)(en)(NO₂)₂]_n established that the complex is a three‐dimensional polymer, [(en)Pb(μ₃‐ONO)₂Na(μ₃‐ONO)₂Na(μ‐O₂ClO₂)Na]_n. The Pb and Na atoms have four‐ and eight‐coordinate geometry, respectively. The lone pair of electrons at the Pb^II atom is ‘stereochemically active’.     

Bipy,Phen und P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3 in der Synthese kationischer Silber(I)‐Komplexe; die Festkörperstrukturen von [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]AgOTf und [Ag(phen)2]OTf

Bipy, Phen, and P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ in the Synthesis of Cationic Silver(I) Complexes; the Solid‐State Structures of [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgOTf and [Ag(phen)₂]OTf The reaction of [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgX ( 1a , X = OTf; 1b , X = OClO₃) with equimolar amounts of L^capL ( 2a , L^capL = 2, 2′‐bipyridine, bipy; 2b , L^capL = 4, 4′‐dimethyl‐2, 2′‐bipyridine, bipy′; 2c , L^capL = 1, 10‐phenanthroline, phen) leads to the formation of the cationic complexes {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Ag(L^capL)}⁺X^— (L^capL = bipy: 3a , X = OTf; 3b , X = ClO₄; L^capL = bipy′: 3c , X = OTf; 3d , X = ClO₄; L^capL = phen: 3e , X = OTf; 3f , X = ClO₄) in which the building blocks L^capL and P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ act as bidentate chelating ligands and are datively‐bound to the silver atom. Spectroscopic studies reveal that on the NMR time‐scale the phosphane group is dynamic with exchanging the respective Me₂NCH₂ built‐in arms. While complex 3e is stable in the solid‐state, it appeared that solutions of 3e start to decompose upon precipitation of colloidal silver when they are heated or irradiated with light, respectively. Appropriate work‐up of the reaction mixture allows the isolation of the phosphane P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 5 ) along with [Ag(phen)₂]OTf ( 4 ). The solid‐state structures of neutral 1a and cationic 4 are reported. Mononuclear 1a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with the cell parameters a = 16.7763(2), b = 14.7892(2), c = 25.44130(10)Å, β = 106.1260(10), V = 6063.83(11)ų and Z = 4 with 8132 observed unique reflections (R₁ = 0.0712), while 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the cell parameters a = 26.749(3), b = 7.1550(10), c = 26.077(3)Å, β = 113.503(2), V = 4576.8(10)ų and Z = 4 with 6209 observed unique reflections (R₁ = 0.0481). The unit cell of 1a consists of two independent molecules. In both molecules the silver atom possesses a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere and a boat‐like conformation for the six‐membered AgPNCH₂C_2/phenyl cycles is found. In 4 , as typical for 1a , the silver atom possesses the coordination number 4. The two phen ligands are tilted by 40.63°. The OTf group is acting as non‐coordinating counter ion.     

Synthesis and Characterization of [Hg(sulfamethoxazolato)2]·2DMSO and[Cu2(μ‐CH3CO2)4(sulfamethoxazole)2]

[Hg(sulfamethoxazolato)₂]·2DMSO ( 1 ) and [Cu₂(CH₃COO)₄(sulfa‐methoxazole)₂] ( 2 ) can be obtained by the reaction of sulfamethoxazole with mercury acetate or copper acetate in methanol. The structures of the two complexes were characterized by single crystal X—ray diffractometry. Compound 1 consists of sulfamethoxazolato ligands bridging the metal ions building an unidimensional chain. Two solvent dimethylsulfoxide molecules are involved via N‐H···O hydrogen bridges. The mercury atom shows a linear primary coordination arrangement formed by two trans deprotonated sulfonamidic nitrogen atoms. The overall coordination around the metal atom may be regarded as a strongly distorted octahedron when the interactions of mercury with four sulfonamidic oxygen atoms [bond distances of 2.761(4) Å—2.971(4) Å] are also considered to build an equatorial plane and the N1 and N1′ atoms [bond distance of 2.037(5) Å] occupy the apical positions. Compound 2 is a dinuclear complex in which the copper ions are bridged by four syn‐syn acetate ligands which are related by a symmetry centre located in the centre of the complex. Each copper atom presents a nearly octahedral coordination where the equatorial plane is formed by four oxygen atoms and an isoxazolic nitrogen atom and the second copper atom occupy the apical positions.     

One‐Dimensional Holodirected Lead(II) Coordination Polymer, [Pb(μ2‐TPPZ)(NO3)(ClO4)]n (TPPZ = 2, 3, 5, 6–tetra(2‐pyridyl)pyrazine)

A lead(II) complex with 2,3,5,6‐tetra(2‐pyridyl)pyrazine (TPPZ), nitrate, and perchlorate ligands has been synthesized and characterized by CHN elemental analysis and IR and ²⁰⁷Pb NMR spectroscopy. The single crystal X‐ray data of the [Pb₂(μ‐TPPZ)₂(NO₃)₂(ClO₄)₂] compound show that the complex is a one‐dimensional coordination polymer and that the Lead atom has a less‐common, ten‐coordinate holodirected geometry.     

Syntheses,characterizations and crystal structures of two new complexes, [Co2(CH2 =C(CH3)CO2)4(phen)2(H2O)2] and [Pb2(CH2 =C(CH3)CO2)4(phen)2]

Two new complexes, [Co₂(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₄(phen)₂(H₂O)₂] (1) and [Pb₂(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₄(phen)₂] (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) (2), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. There are two cocrystallized conformers of [Co(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₂(phen)(H₂O)] in the asymmetric unit of 1 with the Co atoms displaying similar coordination modes. In the asymmetric unit of 2, there exist two crystallographically independent [Pb(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₂(phen)] molecules with the Pb atoms showing completely different coordination geometries. Weak intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking are responsible for the supramolecular assembly and stabilization of the crystal structures of 1 and 2. The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and UV–Vis spectra. The fluorescent properties of 2 are also discussed.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structures and Properties of Tetrametallic Complexes: [M2(phen)4(FCA)2](ClO4)2·(H2O)2 (M=Zn or Co,phen=1,10‐phenanthroline,FCA=anion of 3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐crotonic acid)

Two new complexes [Zn₂(phen)₄(FCA)₂](ClO₄)₂·(H₂O)₂ ( 1 ) and [Co₂(phen)₄ (FCA)₂](ClO₄)₂·(H₂O)₂ (2) (FCA=anion of 3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐crotonic acid, phen=1,10‐phenanthroline) have been synthesized, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV‐Vis spectra, thermal analyses, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Two M(II) (M=Zn or Co) ions are bridged by two FCA anions with syn‐anti bridging ligands, leading to dimeric cores, [M₂(phen)₄(FCA)₂]²⁺, and each M(II) ion is six‐coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by two chelate phen ligands and two μ₂‐carboxylate oxygen atoms from two FCA groups. The M(II)…M(II) intradimer distances are 0.4391 and 0.4462 nm in 1 and 2 , respectively. Electrochemical properties of the complexes have been discussed.     

A three‐dimensional metal–organic polymer: poly[bis(μ2‐pyrimidine‐2‐thiolato‐κ4N1,S:S,N3)lead(II)]

The title compound, [Pb(C₄H₃N₂S)₂]_n, was prepared by the reaction of [Pb(OAc)₂]·3H₂O (OAc is acetate) with pyrimidine‐2‐thione in the presence of triethylamine in methanol. In the crystal structure, the Pb^II atom has an N₄S₄ coordination environment with four ligands coordinated by N‐ and S‐donor atoms. This compound shows that the pyrimidine‐2‐thiolate anion can lead to a three‐dimensional network when the coordination number of the metal ion can be higher than 6, as is the case with the Pb^II ion. This compound presents only covalent bonds, showing that despite the possibility of the hemidirected geometries of Pb^II, the eight‐coordinated ion does not allow the formation of an isolated molecular structure with pyrimidine‐2‐thiolate as the ligand.     

Poly[bis(μ‐benzene‐1,4‐dicarboxylato)bis[μ‐6‐(4‐pyridyl)‐5H‐imidazolo[4,5‐f][1,10]phenanthroline]dilead(II)]: an interpenetrating α‐Po net

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Pb₂(C₈H₄O₄)₂(C₁₈H₁₁N₅)₂]_n, contains two Pb^II atoms, two benzene‐1,4‐dicarboxylate (1,4‐bdc) dianions and two 6‐(4‐pyridyl)‐5H‐imidazolo[4,5‐f][1,10]phenanthroline (L) ligands. Each Pb^II atom is eight‐coordinated by three N atoms from two different L ligands and five carboxylate O atoms from three different 1,4‐bdc dianions. The two 1,4‐bdc dianions (1,4‐bdc₁ and 1,4‐bdc₂) show different coordination modes. Each 1,4‐bdc₁ coordinates to two Pb^II atoms in a chelating bis‐bidentate mode. Each carboxylate group of the 1,4‐bdc₂ anion connects two Pb^II atoms in a chelating–bridging tridentate mode to form a dinuclear unit. Neighbouring dinuclear units are connected together by the aromatic backbone of the 1,4‐bdc dianions and the L ligands into a three‐dimensional six‐connected α‐polonium framework. The most striking feature is that two identical three‐dimensional single α‐polonium nets are interlocked with each other, thus leading directly to the formation of a twofold interpenetrated three‐dimensional α‐polonium architecture. The framework is held together in part by strong N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the imidazole NH groups of the L ligands and the carboxylate O atoms of 1,4‐bdc dianions within different α‐polonium nets.     

A Novel Polymeric Lead(II)‐Azido Compound: Synthesis,Structural Characterization,and DFT Calculations of [Pb(dmp)(N3)2]n

A novel 1D Pb^II coordination polymer containing Pb₂‐(μ‐N₃)₂ unit [Pb(dmp)(N₃)₂]_n (dmp =  2,9‐dimethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline) has been prepared and characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses show that the coordination number for Pb^II ions is six, PbN₆, with “stereochemically active” electron lone pairs and the coordination sphere being hemidirected. The single‐crystal X‐ray data show the chains interact with each other through the π–π stacking interactions, which create a 3D framework. The structure of title complex has been optimized by density functional theory. Structural parameters and IR spectra for the complex are in agreement with the crystal structure.     

A Novel μ2‐(H2O)‐Bridged Double‐Chain Coordination Polymer [Cd(pc)(phen)(H2O)]n with Rhombic Grids (H2pc = pamoic acid,phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline)

A novel coordination polymer [Cd(pc)(phen)(H₂O)]_n (H₂pc = pamoic acid, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline) has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that the compound crystallizes in triclinic space group P1. All the Cd^II atoms in the compound are hexacoordinate and are linked by pamoicate ligands to form a one‐dimensional zigzag chain. Furthermore, two adjacent zigzag chains are connected by the μ₂‐(H₂O) molecules to form a double‐chain with rhombic grids. There exist intermolecular C–H ··· π contacts, π–π stacking and hydrogen‐bonding interactions. Compound 1 displays strong fluorescent emission in the solid state at room temperature.
