由混合配体构筑的三维铽金属有机框架的晶体结构及分子识别性能

Helices versus zigzag chains: one-dimensional coordination polymers of Ag(I) and Bis(4-pyridyl)amine

Five one-dimensional coordination polymers were prepared by the reaction of a bent bridging ligand, bis(4-pyridyl)amine (bpa), with an extensive series of AgX salts (X = CF3SO3, PF6, ClO4, NO3). The 1D polymer networks formed with AgCF3SO3 (1), AgPF6 (2.MeCN), and AgClO4 (3.2MeCN) all incorporated MeCN and were found to adopt a zigzag arrangement. The networks formed with AgClO4 (4) and AgNO3 (5) did not contain any solvent and adopted a single-stranded helical arrangement. Two-dimensional H-bonding networks were formed for 1 and 3.2MeCN, with network topologies 4.8(2) and (4, 4), respectively, whereas three-dimensional H-bonded networks of helices were formed for 4, showing an (8, 3)-a network topology, and 5, showing the topology of the alpha-polonium net. The three-dimensional networks both exhibited 4-fold interpenetration. The NO3- anion in 5 appeared to be acting as a template for the 3D structure.     

Ag(Ⅰ) Schiff碱配合物的合成及其晶体结构

本文以2-醛基吡啶和1,2-二(对氨基苯氧基)乙烷进行缩合得到Schiff碱配体L,再分别同AgNO3和AgClO4进行配位反应,得到了2个配合物[Ag2(NO3)2L](1)和{[AgL]ClO4}n(2),并用元素分析,FTIR和X-射线单晶衍射进行了表征。结果表明,配合物1属于单斜晶系,P21/c空间群,Ag(I)的配位环境为平面三角形,配体L同时和2个Ag(Ⅰ)离子配位形成双核配合物。配合物2属于单斜晶系,P21/n空间群,每个Ag(Ⅰ)的配位环境均为扭曲四面体,每个配体L通过其两端的2个氮原子同2个金属离子配位桥联形成一维螺旋链结构。     

Metal ion-controlled self-assembly using pyrimidine hydrazone molecular strands with terminal hydroxymethyl groups: a comparison of Pb(II) and Zn(II) complexes

Metal complexation studies were performed with the ditopic pyrimidine-hydrazone (pym-hyz) strand 6-hydroxymethylpyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (2-methyl-pyrimidine-4,6-diyl)bis(1-methylhydrazone) (1) and Pb(ClO(4))(2)·3H(2)O, Pb(SO(3)CF(3))(2)·H(2)O, Zn(SO(3)CF(3))(2), and Zn(BF(4))(2) to examine the ability of 1 to form various supramolecular architectures. X-ray crystallographic and NMR studies showed that coordination of the Pb(II) salts with 1 on a 2:1 metal/ligand ratio in CH(3)CN and CH(3)NO(2) resulted in the linear complexes [Pb(2)1(ClO(4))(4)] (2), [Pb(2)1(ClO(4))(3)(H(2)O)]ClO(4) (3), and [Pb(2)1(SO(3)CF(3))(3)(H(2)O)]SO(3)CF(3) (4). Two unusually distorted [2 × 2] grid complexes, [Pb1(ClO(4))](4)(ClO(4))(4) (5) and [Pb1(ClO(4))](4)(ClO(4))(4)·4CH(3)NO(2) (6), were formed by reacting Pb(ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O and 1 on a 1:1 metal/ligand ratio in CH(3)CN and CH(3)NO(2). These grids formed despite coordination of the hydroxymethyl arms due to the large, flexible coordination sphere of the Pb(II) ions. A [2 × 2] grid complex was formed in solution by reacting Pb(SO(3)CF(3))(2)·H(2)O and 1 on a 1:1 metal/ligand ratio in CH(3)CN as shown by (1)H NMR, microanalysis, and ESMS. Reacting the Zn(II) salts with 1 on a 2:1 metal/ligand ratio gave the linear complexes [Zn(2)1(H(2)O)(4)](SO(3)CF(3))(4)·C(2)H(5)O (7) and [Zn(2)1(BF(4))(H(2)O)(2)(CH(3)CN)](BF(4))(3)·H(2)O (8). (1)H NMR studies showed the Zn(II) and Pb(II) ions in these linear complexes were labile undergoing metal ion exchange. All of the complexes exhibited pym-hyz linkages in their cisoid conformation and binding between the hydroxymethyl arms and the metal ions. No complexes were isolated from reacting either of the Zn(II) salts with 1 on a 1:1 metal/ligand ratio, due to the smaller size of the Zn(II) coordination sphere as compared to the much larger Pb(II) ions.     

Cyclophosphazenes as nodal ligands in coordination polymers

Herein, we show that cyclotriphosphazenes carrying organo amino side chains, (RNH)6P3N3 [R = n-propyl (1), cyclohexyl (2), benzyl (3)], and (C4H8N)6P3N3 (4) produce supramolecular coordination compounds in conjunction with silver salts by formation of linear N-Ag-N connections via nitrogen centers of the phosphazene ring. Crystalline materials were obtained by layering methanol solutions containing phosphazene ligands with methanol solutions of AgClO4 and AgNO3. The donor ability of the anion and the steric demand of the lipophilic ligand sphere R control the topology of the coordination network: (1)2(AgClO4)3 forms a graphite-type (6,3) network. All three N(ring) atoms of the phosphazene ligand coordinate to silver ions, which, in return, linearly bridge two phosphazene ligands. The phosphazene-Ag(I) arrangement in 1(AgNO3)2 exists of zigzag chains featuring one bridging silver ion and one terminally coordinated silver ion per ligand molecule. The terminally located Ag(I) ions of neighboring chains are bridged by nitrate ions, resulting in a 2D network. Both 2(AgClO4) and 4(AgClO4) contain only one bridging silver ion per phosphazene ligand, which leaves one N(ring) site vacant and gives 1D zigzag chain arrangements. The crystal structures of 3(AgClO4)2 and 3(AgNO3)2 resemble that of 1(AgNO3)2, but show additional Ag-pi(aryl) interactions between the terminally arranged silver ions and benzyl groups. Treatment of 3 with a methanol solution containing both AgNO3 and AgClO4 leads to the heteroanion derivative 3(AgNO3)(AgClO4). Phosphazene ligands 1-3 have the ability to undergo hydrogen bonding to anions via the six NH groups, and the coordination polymers containing these ligands feature dense networks of NH...O bonds.     

Luminescent homochiral silver(I) lamellar coordination networks built from helical chains

The reactions of 2,2'-dimethoxy-1,1'-binaphthyl-3,3'-bis(4-vinylpyridine)(L) with AgNO3 or AgClO4 at 70 degrees C gave rise to two novel luminescent homochiral lamellar coordination polymers, AgL2X (X = NO3- for 1 or ClO4- for 2), which are built from linking helical chains by Ag(I) atoms as hinges.     

(Bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane)silver(I) phosphino complexes: structures and spectroscopic properties of mixed-ligand coordination polymers

Adducts of the ligand bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane (tz(2)(CH(2))) of the form AgX:tz(2)(CH(2)):ER(3):MeCN (1:1:1:x) (X = NO(3), R = Ph, E = P, As, or Sb, x = 1 or 2; X = NO(2), ClO(4), O(3)SCF(3), E = P, R = Ph, x = 0, 1 or 2; X = NO(3), ClO(4), E = P, R = cy, x = 1; X = ClO(4), E = As, R = Ph, x = 2) and AgNO(3):tz(2)(CH(2)):P(o-tolyl)(3) (2:2:1) have been synthesized and characterized in the solid state and in solution by analyses, spectral (IR, far-IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR, ESI MS data) data, and conductivity measurements. In the one-dimensional polymers (characterized by X-ray studies) AgNO(3):tz(2)(CH(2)):PPh(3):CH(3)CN (1:1:1:1), AgClO(4):tz(2)(CH(2)):PPh(3):CH(3)CN (1:1:1:2), AgNO(3):tz(2)(CH(2)):AsPh(3): CH(3)CN (1:1:1:2), and AgNO(3):tz(2)(CH(2)):SbPh(3):CH(3)CN (1:1:1:2), the silver atom can be regarded as four-coordinate, the tz(2)(CH(2)) ligands behaving as bridging groups rather than chelates, with no pair of ligands being dominant, quasi-trans, in their interactions. The AgNO(3):tz(2)(CH(2)):P(o-tolyl)(3) (2:2:1) adduct is a two-dimensional polymer containing two independent silver atoms, one four-coordinated unsymmetrically by a pair of triazolyl rings, one P(o-tolyl)(3), and a unidentate nitrate and the second by a quasi-symmetrical O(2)NO chelate and a pair of equivalent triazolyl rings.     

Syntheses, structures, and reactivity of new pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-rhodium(III) and -iridium(III) 4-acyl-5-pyrazolonate complexes

New [CpM(Q)Cl] complexes (M = Rh or Ir, Cp = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, HQ = 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4R(C=O)-pyrazol-5-one in general, in detail HQ(Me), R = CH(3); HQ(Et), R = CH(2)CH(3); HQ(Piv), R = CH(2)-C(CH(3))(3); HQ(Bn), R = CH(2)-(C(6)H(5)); HQ(S), R = CH-(C(6)H(5))(2)) have been synthesized from the reaction of [CpMCl(2)](2) with the sodium salt, NaQ, of the appropriate HQ proligand. Crystal structure determinations for a representative selection of these [CpM(Q)Cl] compounds show a pseudo-octahedral metal environment with the Q ligand bonded in the O,O'-chelating form. In each case, two enantiomers (S(M)) and (R(M)) arise, differing only in the metal chirality. The reaction of [CpRh(Q(Bn))Cl] with MgCH(3)Br produces only halide exchange with the formation of [CpRh(Q(Bn))Br]. The [CpRh(Q)Cl] complexes react with PPh(3) in dichloromethane yielding the adducts CpRh(Q)Cl/PPh(3) (1:1) which exist in solution in two different isomeric forms. The interaction of [CpRh(Q(Me))Cl] with AgNO(3) in MeCN allows generation of [CpRh(Q(Me))(MeCN)]NO(3).3H(2)O, whereas the reaction of [CpRh(Q(Me))Cl] with AgClO(4) in the same solvent yields both [CpRh(Q(Me))(H(2)O)]ClO(4) and [CpRh(Cl)(H(2)O)(2)]ClO(4); the H(2)O molecules derive from the not-rigorously anhydrous solvents or silver salts.     

Probing anion-pi interactions in 1-D Co(II), Ni(II), and Cd(II) coordination polymers containing flexible pyrazine ligands

Two flexible thioether-containing heterocyclic ligands bis(2-pyrazylmethyl)sulfide (L1) and 2-benzylsulfanylmethylpyrazine (L2) have arene rings with differing pi-acidities which were used to probe anion-pi binding in five 1-D coordination polymers formed from the metal salts Co(ClO4)2, Ni(NO3)2, and Cd(NO3)2. In {[Co(L1)(MeCN)2](ClO4)2}infinity (1), {[Ni(L1)(NO3)2]}infinity (2), and {[Cd2(L1)(MeCN)(H2O)(NO3)4].H2O}infinity (3.H2O), the symmetrical ligand L1 was bound facially to the metal center and was bridged through a pyrazine donor to an adjacent metal forming a polymer chain. The folding of L1 formed U-shaped pi-pockets in 1 and 3.H2O which encapsulated free and bound anions, respectively. The anions interacted with the pi-acidic centers in a variety of different binding modes including anion-pi-anion and pi-anion-pi sandwiching. A wider pi-pocket was formed in 2 which also contained anion-pi interactions. The polymer chains in 2 were interdigitated through a rare type of complementary T-shaped N(pyrazine)...pi interaction. In {[Co(L2)(H2O)3](ClO4)2.H2O}infinity (4.H2O) and {[Cd(L2)(H2O)(NO3)2]}infinity (5), the unsymmetrical ligand L2 chelated the metal center and bridged through a pyrazine donor to an adjacent metal forming a polymer chain. The ligand arrangement resulted in the anions in both structures being involved in only anion-pi-anion sandwich interactions. In 4.H2O, the noncoordinated ClO4- anions interacted with only one chain while in 5 the coordinated NO3- anions acted as anion-pi supramolecular synthons between chains. Comparison between the polymers formed with ligands L1 and L2 showed that only the more pi-acidic ring was involved in the anion-pi interactions.     

Reversible anion exchanges between the layered organic-inorganic hybridized architectures: syntheses and structures of manganese(II) and copper(II) complexes containing novel tripodal ligands

Six noninterpenetrating organic-inorganic hybridized coordination complexes, [Mn(3)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](ClO(4))(2).2 H(2)O (5), [Mn(3)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(2) (6), [Mn(3)(2)(N(3))(2)].2 H(2)O (7), [Cu(3)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (8), [Mn(4)(2)(H(2)O)(SO(4))].CH(3)OH.5 H(2)O (9) and [Mn(4)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (10) were obtained through self-assembly of novel tripodal ligands, 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene (3) and 1,3-bis(1-imidazolyl)-5-(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (4) with the corresponding metal salts, respectively. Their structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. The results of structural analysis of complexes 5, 6, 7, and 8 with rigid ligand 3 indicate that their structures are mainly dependant on the nature of the organic ligand and geometric need of the metal ions, but not influenced greatly by the anions and metal ions. While in complexes 9 and 10, which contain the flexible ligand 4, the counteranion plays an important role in the formation of the frameworks. Entirely different structures of complexes 5 and 10 indicate that the organic ligands greatly affect the structures of assemblies. Furthermore, in complexes 5 and 6, the counteranions located between the cationic layers can be exchanged by other anions. Reversible anion exchanges between complexes 5 and 6 without destruction of the frameworks demonstrate that 5 and 6 can act as cationic layered materials for anion exchange, as determined by IR spectroscopy, elemental analyses, and X-ray powder diffraction.     

Tuned triazolatesilver(I) luminescent complexes from zero- to three-dimensionality based on bi- to tetratopic bridged ligands

The self-assembly of silver(I) salts with bitopic triazole ligands 4-(salicylideneamino)-1,2,4-triazole (L1) and 4-(2-pyridinyl)-1,2,4-triazole (L2) produced dinuclear complexes and a 1D molecular-ladder coordination polymer, while the reaction of tritopic ligand 4-(3-pyridinyl)-1,2,4-triazole (L3) with AgClO4 afforded a right-handed helical 2D network with (4,4) topology, a meso layer constructed via left- and right-handed helical chains with AgBF4, and a 2D 4.8(2) net containing no helical chain with AgNO3. Using a tetratopic triazole ligand 2,6-bis(4-triazolyl)pyridine (L4), a 3D coordination polymer was isolated. This complex contains a cationic 4.63 network with rhombic channels, accepting two columns of uncoordinated ClO4(-) anions filling into every central cavity. Our results show that (i) the increase of coordination sites of the ligands is an effective route to obtaining higher-dimensional structures and (ii) anions could influence the configuration of the ligand to tune the coordination network topology from those with helical chains to those without. In the solid state, all of the complexes exhibit strong fluorescent emission bands, which may be assigned to intraligand fluorescent emission. The luminescent properties of these complexes in a water solution varied from blue light to green light at ambient temperature.
