Synthesis, X-ray crystal structures, and gas sorption properties of pillared square grid nets based on paddle-wheel motifs: implications for hydrogen storage in porous materials

A systematic modulation of organic ligands connecting dinuclear paddle-wheel motifs leads to a series of isomorphous metal-organic porous materials that have a three-dimensional connectivity and interconnected pores. Aromatic dicarboxylates such as 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (1,4-bdc), tetramethylterephthalate (tmbdc), 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate (1,4-ndc), tetrafluoroterephthalate (tfbdc), or 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate (2,6-ndc) are linear linkers that form two-dimensional layers, and diamine ligands, 4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (dabco) or 4,4'-dipyridyl (bpy), coordinate at both sides of Zn(2) paddle-wheel units to bridge the layers vertically. The resulting open frameworks [Zn(2)(1,4-bdc)(2)(dabco)] (1), [Zn(2)(1,4-bdc)(tmbdc)(dabco)] (2), [Zn(2)(tmbdc)(2)(dabco)] (3), [Zn(2)(1,4-ndc)(2)(dabco)] (4), [Zn(2)(tfbdc)(2)(dabco)] (5), and [Zn(2)(tmbdc)(2)(bpy)] (8) possess varying size of pores and free apertures originating from the side groups of the 1,4-bdc derivatives. [Zn(2)(1,4-bdc)(2)(bpy)] (6) and [Zn(2)(2,6-ndc)(2)(bpy)] (7) have two- and threefold interpenetrating structures, respectively. The non-interpenetrating frameworks (1-5 and 8) possess surface areas in the range of 1450-2090 m(2)g(-1) and hydrogen sorption capacities of 1.7-2.1 wt % at 78 K and 1 atm. A detailed analysis of the sorption data in conjunction with structural similarities and differences concludes that porous materials with straight channels and large openings do not perform better than those with wavy channels and small openings in terms of hydrogen storage through physisorption.

Two manganese(II) complexes constructed from 2-(3-pyridyl)-imidazo[4,5-f] 1,10-phenanthroline and organic dicarboxylates: syntheses,crystal structures,and luminescence

In this study, two new Mn(II) complexes consisting of a phenanthroline derivative and organic acid ligands, [Mn(3-PIP)(1,3-bdc)] _n (1) and [Mn(3-PIP)₂(1,4-bdc)] _n (2) (3-PIP?=?2-(3-pyridyl)-imidazo[4,5-f]?1,10-phenanthroline, 1,3-H₂bdc?=?benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid, 1,4-H₂bdc?=?benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid), have been synthesized via hydrothermal reaction and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, elemental analyses, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a one-dimensional (1-D) twisted double chain bridged by 1,3-bdc. The 3-PIP ligands in a parallel fashion are alternately attached to both sides of the 1-D double chain. Complex 2 exhibits a 1-D zigzag chain, to which pairs of crossed 3-PIP ligands are alternately attached. The two complexes are further extended into three-dimensional (3-D) supramolecular structures by hydrogen-bonding and π–π stacking interactions. The N-donor ligands with an extended π-system play a crucial role in formation and stabilization of the final supramolecular frameworks. Thermal properties of 1 and 2 and fluorescence of 2 are investigated in the solid state.
