New luminescent solids in the Ln-W(Mo)-Te-O-(Cl) systems

Solid-state reactions of lanthanide(III) oxide (and/or lanthanide(III) oxychloride), MoO3 (or WO3), and TeO2 at high temperature lead to eight new luminescent compounds with four different types of structures, namely, Ln2(MoO4)(Te4O10) (Ln = Pr, Nd), La2(WO4)(Te3O7)2, Nd2W2Te2O13, and Ln5(MO4)(Te5O13)(TeO3)2Cl3 (Ln = Pr, Nd; M = Mo, W). The structures of Ln2(MoO4)(Te4O10) (Ln = Pr, Nd) feature a 3D network in which the MoO4 tetrahedra serve as bridges between two lanthanide(III) tellurite layers. La2(WO4)(Te3O7)2 features a triple-layer structure built of a [La2WO4]4+ layer sandwiched between two Te3O72- anionic layers. The structure of Nd2W2Te2O13 is a 3D network in which the W2O108- dimers were inserted in the large tunnels of the neodymium(III) tellurites. The structures of Ln5(MO4)(Te5O13)(TeO3)2Cl3 (Ln = Pr, Nd; M = Mo, W) feature a 3D network structure built of lanthanide(III) ions interconnected by bridging TeO32-, Te5O136-, and Cl- anions with the MO4 (M = Mo, W) tetrahedra capping on both sides of the Ln4 (Ln = Pr, Nd) clusters and the isolated Cl- anions occupying the large apertures of the structure. Luminescent studies indicate that Pr2(MoO4)(Te4O10) and Pr5(MO4)(Te5O13)(TeO3)2Cl3 (M = Mo, W) are able to emit blue, green, and red light, whereas Nd2(MoO4)(Te4O10), Nd2W2Te2O13, and Nd5(MO4)(Te5O13)(TeO3)2Cl3 (M = Mo, W) exhibit strong emission bands in the near-IR region.     

Element-Element-Bindungen. VI. Kristallines 2-Chlor-1,3,2-benzoxathiastibol – ein mehrfach verknüpftes Koordinationspolymeres

Element-Element-Bonds. VI. Crystalline 2-Chloro-1,3,2-benzoxathiastibole – a Multiply Linked Coordination Polymer Yellow 2-chloro-1,3,2-benzoxathiastibole 4a first prepared by Anchisi and coworkers [3] from o-hydroxythiophenol and antimony trichloride, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n {a = 1109.9(3); b = 610.5(2); c = 1201.5(2) pm; β = 100.35(2)° at ?120 ± 3°C; Z = 4}. An X-ray structure determination (R = 0.029) shows the molecules to form coordination polymeric layers via Sb…?Cl, Sb…?O and Sb…?η²-arene interactions in the solid. Characteristic structural features are Sb? Cl…?Sb? Cl helices (Sb? Cl…?Sb 119°; Cl? Sb…?Cl 95°) and centrosymmetric, four membered Sb₂O₂-rings (O? Sb…?O 64°; Sb? O…?Sb 116°). The ligands set up a strongly distorted octahedron around the antimony atom: Sb? S 242; Sb? Cl 243; Sb…?Cl 328; Sb? O 201; Sb…?O 287; Sb…?C 338 and 341 pm; S? Sb? O 85°; S? Sb? Cl 94°; O? Sb? Cl 92°.     

Homochiral frameworks formed by reactions of lanthanide ions with a chiral antimony tartrate secondary building unit

A chiral cluster compound, dipotassium bis(μ-tartrato)diantimony(III), K(2)Sb(2)L(2) (H(4)L = L-tartaric acid), was used as a secondary building unit to react with lanthanide ions. Three series of homochiral coordination compounds were obtained: 0D [La(H(2)L)(H(2)O)(4)](2)[Sb(2)L(2)]·7H(2)O (0D-La), 1D Ln(Sb(2)L(2))(H(2)O)(5)(NO(3))·H(2)O (1D-Ln) (Ln = La-Lu or Y, expect Pm), 2D(I) [(Ln(H(2)O)(5))(2)(Sb(2)L(2))(3)]·5H(2)O (2D(I)-Ln) (Ln = La, Ce, Pr), and 2D(II) [(La(H(2)O)(5))(2)(Sb(2)L(2))(3)]·6H(2)O (2D(II)-La). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies indicated that 0D-La crystallizes in space group P1, and the structure contains isolated Sb(2)L(2)(2-) units located between chains of composition La(H(2)L)(H(2)O)(4). The series of 1D-Ln compounds is isostructural and crystallizes in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). In the structure, Sb(2)L(2)(2-) units are coordinated to two Ln ions by two out of the four free tartrate oxygen atoms to form a linear chain. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a homochiral structure that can be formed for the whole lanthanide series. In the 2D(I)-Ln structure series, which crystallizes in space group P2(1), the Sb(2)L(2)(2-) units have two distinct coordination modes: one is the same as that found in the 1D structure, while in the other all four free tartrate oxygen atoms are coordinated to four Ln ions in a very distorted tetrahedral arrangement. The connectivity between Sb(2)L(2)(2-) secondary units and LnO(9) polyhedra gives rise to infinite layers. 2D(II) [(La(H(2)O)(5))(2)(Sb(2)L(2))(3)]·6H(2)O, which crystallizes in space group C2, has a similar network to the 2D(I)-Ln compounds. The trends in lattice parameters, bond lengths, and ionic radii in the 1D-Ln series were analyzed to show the effect of the lanthanide contraction.

Systematic investigation of the hydrothermal syntheses of Pr(III)-PDA (PDA = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate anion) metal-organic frameworks

A series of novel two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) praseodymium coordination polymers, namely, {[Pr3(PDA)4(HPDA)(H2O)8] x 8H2O}n (2), {[Pr2(PDA)3(H2O)3] x H2O}n (3), {[Pr(PDA)(H2O)4] x ClO4}n (4), and { [Pr2(PDA)2(H2O)5SO4] x 2H2O}n (5) (PDA = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic anion), was designed and synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Complexes 1-3 (chainlike polymer, {[Pr(PDA)(HPDA)(H2O)2] x 4H2O}n (1) was also obtained independently by us, although it has been reported recently by Ghosh et al.) were fabricated successfully by simply tuning the Pr/PDA ratio and exhibited various and intriguing topological structures from a 1D chain to a 3D network. While the synthetic strategy of 5 was triggered and further performed only after 1 was structurally characterized. The complexes were characterized by X-ray single-crystal determination, spectroscopic, and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility analyses. In complex 2 an unusual nanosized square motif as a building block constructed by eight Pr ions was further assembled into a highly ordered 2D grid compound. In complex 3 the decanuclear Pr metal-based structure as a repeat unit interpenetrated to form a novel 3D polymer. Complex 4 was a 3D network polymer fabricated through a hexanuclear Pr ring as a building block, and ClO4- anions as guests were trapped in the cavity. In complex 5 six Pr atoms, two SO4(2-) anions, and carboxylic oxygen bridges constructed an intriguing rectangle structure as a repeat unit in the grid to form a 2D coordination polymer in which the unique bi-bidentate coordination mode of SO4(2-) anion was observed.

Isopolyoxometalates derived from arylstibonic acids with "reverse-Keggin ion" structures based on [M(RSb)(12)O(28)] cores, M = Co(ii) or Zn(ii)

The preparations and structures are described of four new polyoxostibonates, [Co(p-MeC(6)H(4)Sb)(12)O(28){Co(H(2)O)(3)}(4)]Cl(2)·6H(2)O, [Co(p-ClC(6)H(4)Sb)(12)O(28){Co(H(2)O)(3)}(4)]Cl(2)·22H(2)O, (PhCH(2)NMe(3))(2)[Zn(p-ClC(6)H(4)Sb)(12)O(28)Zn(4)Cl(2.54)Br(1.46)]·8MeCN·H(2)O and [BaCoH(4)(p-MeC(6)H(4)Sb)O(28)]·5H(2)O. Each of these has a framework of 12 (RSb) groups linked by 28 O atoms, with one transition metal ion in a tetrahedral site in the centre. Other metal ions are coordinated to the polyhedral faces. Three of the complexes have the ε Keggin ion geometry, while the fourth is a δ isomer.     

Organoantimony compounds : VIII. Cleavage of Sb—O—Sb bonds in μ—oxybis(triphenyl -chloroantimony) and triphenylantimony oxide by methanol and acetylacetone

SbOSb bonds in (Ph₃ClSb)₂O and PH₃SbO are cleaved readily by methanol and acetylacetone. The reactions provide convenient synthetic routes for Ph₃Sb(OMe)Cl, Ph₃Sb(OMe)₂, Ph₃Sb(acac)Cl, and Ph₃Sb(acac)OH. Characterization of these compounds by infrared, Raman, and ¹H NMR spectral measurements is reported.     

Dinuclear and Tetranuclear Cages of Oxodiphenylantimony Phosphinates: Synthesis and Structures

The novel dimeric compounds [Ph(2)Sb(O(2)PR(2))O](2).2CH(2)Cl(2) [R = cycl-C(6)H(11) (2) and cycl-C(8)H(15) (3)] have been synthesized by reacting diphenylantimony trichloride (1) with 3 mol equiv of silver acetate followed by 1 mol equiv of the phosphinic acid. By the same route under more stringent conditions to exclude moisture, the mixed phosphinate-acetate [Ph(2)Sb(O(2)P(C(6)H(11))(2))(O(2)CMe)](2)O (4) was isolated and characterized. Treatment of 2 with acetic acid/water affords the tetranuclear cage Ph(8)Sb(4)O(4)(OH)(2)(O(2)P(C(6)H(11))(2))(2).CH(3)COOH.CH(2)Cl(2) (5); it is possible to convert 5 to 2 by heating it with an excess of the phosphinic acid. Compounds 2, 3, and 5 have been characterized by X-ray structural analysis. All of them possess four membered Sb(2)O(2) rings with hexacoordinated antimony. In 5 the antimony atoms in the two Sb(2)O(2) rings are connected by oxo bridges on two sides to give an Sb(4)O(6) cage. These structures are correlated with those of known tin cages.     

Synthesis and structural investigation of tungsten imido amidinate and guanidinate complexes

The tungsten imido guanidinate and amidinate complexes W(NR)Cl(3)[R'NC(NMe(2))NR'] and W(NR)Cl(3)[R'NC(Me)NR'] (R = Ph, (i)Pr, Cy; R' = (i)Pr, (t)Bu, TMS) were synthesized by reacting the corresponding imido complex W(NR)Cl(4)(OEt(2)) with the appropriate lithium amidinate or guanidinate. Crystallographic structure determination of W(N(i)Pr)Cl(3)[(i)PrNC(NMe(2))N(i)Pr] and W(N(i)()Pr)Cl(3)[(i)PrNC(Me)N(i)Pr] allows comparison of structural features between the guanidinate and amidinate ligand in the presence of an identical ancillary ligand set.     

Synthesis and characterization of sulfur-voided cubanes. Structural analogues for the MoFe(3)S(3) subunit in the nitrogenase cofactor.

A new class of Mo/Fe/S clusters with the MoFe(3)S(3) core has been synthesized in attempts to model the FeMo-cofactor in nitrogenase. These clusters are obtained in reactions of the (Cl(4)-cat)(2)Mo(2)Fe(6)S(8)(PR(3))(6) [R = Et (I), (n)Pr (II)] clusters with CO. The new clusters include those preliminarily reported: (Cl(4)-cat)MoFe(3)S(3)(PEt(3))(2)(CO)(6) (III), (Cl(4)-cat)(O)MoFe(3)S(3)(PEt(3))(3)(CO)(5) (IV), (Cl(4)-cat)(Pyr)MoFe(3)S(3)(PEt(3))(2)(CO)(6) (VI), and (Cl(4)-cat)(Pyr)MoFe(3)S(3)(P(n)Pr(3))(3)(CO)(4) (VIII). In addition the new (Cl(4)-cat)(O)MoFe(3)S(3)(P(n)Pr(3))(3)(CO)(5) cluster (IVa), the (Cl(4)-cat)(O)MoFe(3)S(3)(PEt(3))(2)(CO)(6)cluster (V), the (Cl(4)-cat)(O)MoFe(3)S(3)(P(n)Pr(3))(2)(CO)(6) cluster (Va), the (Cl(4)-cat)(Pyr)MoFe(3)S(3)(P(n)Pr(3))(2)(CO)(6) cluster (VIa), and the (Cl(4)-cat)(P(n)Pr(3))MoFe(3)S(3)(P(n)Pr(3))(2)(CO)(6) cluster (VII) also are reported. Clusters III-VIII have been structurally and spectroscopically characterized. EPR, zero-field (57)Fe-M?ssbauer spectroscopic characterizations, and magnetic susceptibility measurements have been used for a tentative assignment of the electronic and oxidation states of the MoFe(3)S(3) sulfur-voided cuboidal clusters. A structural comparison of the clusters with the MoFe(3)S(3) subunit of the FeMo-cofactor has led to the suggestion that the storage of reducing equivalents into M-M bonds, and their use in the reduction of substrates, may occur with the FeMo-cofactor, which also appears to have M-M bonding. On the basis of this argument, a possible N(2)-binding and reduction mechanism on the FeMoco-cofactor is proposed.     

Titanium and niobium imido complexes stabilized by heteroscorpionate ligands

The reaction of [Ti(NR)Cl(2)(py)(3)](R = (t)Bu, p-tolyl, 2,6-C(6)H(3)(i)Pr(2)) with [{Li(bdmpza)(H(2)O)}(4)][bdmpza = bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate] and [{Li(bdmpzdta)(H(2)O)}(4)][bdmpzdta = bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)dithioacetate] affords the corresponding complexes [Ti(NR)Cl(kappa(3)-bdmpzx)(py)](x = a, R = (t)Bu 1, p-tolyl 2, 2,6-C(6)H(3)(i)Pr(2) 3; x = dta, R =(t)Bu 4, p-tolyl , 2,6-C(6)H(3)(i)Pr(2) 6), which are the first examples of imido Group 4 complexes stabilized by heteroscorpionate ligands. The solid-state X-ray crystal structure of 1 has been determined. The titanium centre is six-coordinate with three fac-sites occupied by the heteroscorpionate ligand and the remainder of the coordination sphere being completed by chloride, imido and pyridine ligands. The complexes are 1-6 fluxional at room temperature. The pyridine ortho- and meta-proton resonances show evidence of dynamic behaviour for this ligand and variable-temperature NMR studies were carried out in order to study their dynamic behaviour in solution. The complexes [Nb(NR)Cl(3)(py)(2)](R = (t)Bu, p-tolyl, 2,6-C(6)H(3)(i)Pr(2)) reacted with [{Li(bdmpza)(H(2)O)}(4)] and (Hbdmpze)[bdmpze = 2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)ethoxide], the latter with prior addition of (n)BuLi, to give the complexes [Nb(NR)Cl(2)(kappa(3)-bdmpzx)](x = a, R =(t)Bu 7, p-tolyl 8, 2,6-C(6)H(3)(i)Pr(2) 9; x = e, R = (t)Bu 10, p-tolyl 11, 2,6-C(6)H(3)(i)Pr(2)) 12 and these are the first examples of imido Group 5 complexes with heteroscorpionate ligands. The structures of these complexes have been determined by spectroscopic methods.     

Cd2(Te6O13)][Cd2Cl6] and Cd7Cl8(Te7O17): novel tellurium(IV) oxide slabs and unusual cadmium chloride architectures

Initial attempts to prepare new Ln-Cd-Te-O-Cl compounds led to the isolation of two novel cadmium tellurium(IV) oxychlorides with two different types of structures, namely, [Cd(2)(Te(6)O(13))][Cd(2)Cl(6)] and Cd(7)Cl(8)(Te(7)O(17)). Both compounds feature novel polymeric tellurium(IV) oxide anions and unusual cadmium chloride substructures. The structure of [Cd(2)(Te(6)O(13))][Cd(2)Cl(6)] is composed of 1D [Cd(2)Cl(6)](2)(-) double chains and (002) [Cd(2)(Te(6)O(13))](2+) layers. The 1D Te(6)O(13)(2)(-) slab of the [Cd(2)(Te(6)O(13))](2+) layer is formed by TeO(3), TeO(4), and TeO(5) groups via corner- and edge-sharing, and it contains six- and seven-membered tellurium(IV) polyhedral rings. The structure of Cd(7)Cl(8)(Te(7)O(17)) features a 3D network with long-narrow tunnels along the b axis. The two types of structural building blocks are 1D [Te(7)O(17)](6)(-) anions and unusual corrugated [Cd(7)Cl(8)](6+) layers based on "cyclohexane-like" Cd(3)Cl(3) rings.     

Synthesis of [MnCl<Subscript>3</Subscript>(H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O)<Subscript>2</Subscript>(Hatz)]·H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O and investigation of its structure via X-ray diffraction,spectroscopic measurements and DFT calculations

The 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (atz)-based manganese complex was prepared and characterized through single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, EPR, and UV–visible spectroscopy. In the crystal structure, individual complex are interconnected through N(O)–H…Cl hydrogen bonds into 1D undulating chains running parallel to the [110] direction of the unit cell. Chains further grow into 2D supramolecular layers by way of the lattice water molecules of coordination and the chloride anions (O–H…Cl). Layers pack along the b-axis of the unit cell mediated by O–H…Cl(N) and N–H…O(Cl) hydrogen bonds forming a 3D supramolecular architecture. The theoretical calculations were also performed to optimize the structure of the complexes in the gas phase to confirm the structures proposed by X-ray crystallography. In addition, IR and UV–visible spectra of complex were calculated and compared with the corresponding experimental spectra to complete the experimental structural identification. The three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface (3D-HS) and their relative two-dimensional fingerprint plots (2D-FP) reveal that the structure is dominated by H…Cl/Cl…H (50.5%), H…O/O…H (11.3%) and N…O/O…N (10.2%) contacts.

Coexistence of water dimer and hexamer clusters in 3D metal-organic framework structures of Ce(III) and Pr(III) with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid

Ce(NO3)3.6H2O or Pr(NO3)3.6H2O and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid form a linear coordination polymeric structure under hydrothermal conditions. Hexameric water clusters join these linear chains through bonding to the metal ions. Other coordinated water and the carboxylate oxygen form an intricate array of hydrogen bonding resulting in a 3D network where each metal ion shows 9-coordination with an approximate D3 symmetry. Dimeric water clusters are also located in the void spaces. In the structure containing Pr(III), the water dimers are hydrogen-bonded to the hexamers, whereas in the Ce(III) structure, the dimers and the hexamers are far apart.

A new organometallic heteropolytungstate related to [Sb2W22O74(OH)2](12-): synthesis and structural characterisation of the bis-{Ru(p-cymene)}(2+)-containing anion [Sb2W20O70{Ru(p-cymene)}2](10-)

Template synthesis of lanthanide (Pr, Nd, Gd) coordination polymers with 2-hydroxynicotinic acid exhibiting ferro-/antiferromagnetic interaction

Lanthanide coordination polymers were synthesized from Pr(III), Nd(III), and Gd(III) salts; 2-hydroxynicotinic acid (Hnica); and MnSO 4.H 2O under hydrothermal conditions. In the absence of (CH 3) 3CCOONa, 1D polymers with an infinite Ln(III)-O-Ln(III) chain structure, [Pr(Hnica)(H 2O) 2SO 4] n ( 1), [Nd(Hnica)(H 2O) 2SO 4] n ( 2), and [Gd(Hnica)(H 2O) 2SO 4] n ( 3), were generated. When (CH 3) 3CCOONa was added to the synthetic systems, 2D coordination polymers {[Pr 3(Hnica) 6(H 2O) 9].3H 2O.SO 4.NO 3} n ( 4), {[Nd 3(Hnica) 6(H 2O) 9].3H 2O.SO 4.NO 3} n ( 5), and {[Gd(Hnica) 2(H 2O) 2]ClO 4.H 2O} n ( 6) were obtained. Complexes 4 and 5 both exhibit Kagome lattice structure, while 6 displays a rhombic grid structure. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, UV-vis spectra, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility studies reveal ferromagnetic interactions between gadolinium(III) ions in 3 and 6 and antiferromagnetic interactions in 1, 2, 4, and 5.
