Syntheses and Structures of Two Isomorphous Metal-organic Coordination Complexes Based on 4-Pyrimidin-5-ylbenzoic Acid

The reactions of 4-pyrimidin-5-ylbenzoic acid （HL） with Co（NO3）2·6H2O and Ni（NO3）2·6H2O gave rise to two isomorphous mononuclear coordination complexes, namely, [CoL2（H2O）4] （1） and [NiL2（H2O）4] （2）. Both compounds were characterized by IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray crystallographic analyses reveal that they crystallize in monoclinic, space group P21/n. In the crystal structures of these two complexes, only one nitrogen atom of L coordinates to the metal center, and neither carboxylate group nor another nitrogen atom of L links to Co（Ⅱ） or Ni（Ⅱ）. 2D Layers with significant hydrogen bonds can be observed, and they are further linked by L to form a 3D supramolecular network. Nitrogen atoms are not involved in forming hydrogen bonds, but carboxylic groups of the ligands play an important role in the configuration of this hydrogen-bond layer.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, UV-vis and EPR Studies of（ NH3CH2CH2NH2 ） 2.5 [ Mo0.5^（V）W0.5^（VI）O2 （ OC6H4O ） 2]

Cis-dioxo-metal complex ( NH3CH2CH2NH2 ) 2.5 [ Mo0.5^(V)W0.5^(VI)O2 ( OC6H4O ) 2] 1 was obtained by the reaction of tetra-butyl ammonium hexamolybdotungstate with 1, 2-dihydroxybenzene in the mixed solvent of CH3OH, CH3CN and ethylenediamine,and characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis and EPR analysis. Compared with its analogous complexes (NH3CH2CH2NH2)3[Mo^(V)O2(OC6H40)2] 2 and (NH3CH2CH2NH2)2[W^(VI)O2(OC6H4O)2] 3, the results show that tungsten(VI) is less active in redox than molybdenum (VI) and that the change of the valence induced by substitution of W(VI) for Mo(V) in EMO2(OC6H40)2]n- does not influence the coordination geometry of the complex anion in which the metal center exhibits distorted octahedral coordination with cis-dioxo catechol. The responses to EPR of complexes 1 and 2 are active but complex 3 is silent,and the UV-vis spectra exhibited by the three complexes are obvious different because of the different electronic configuration between the central Mo(V) and W(VI) ions in the complexes.It is noteworthy that complexes 1 and 2 have the similar EPR signal to flavoenzyme, suggesting that the three complexes have the same coordination geometry feature with the co-factor of flavoenzyme.
