Synthesis,Crystal Structures,and Characterization of Two 3d‐3d Heterometallic Coordination Frameworks: [ZnCo(Hcit)Cl] and [ZnCo(Hcit)Br]

Reactions between CoO, ZnCl₂ (or ZnBr₂), and molten citric acid (Hcit) led to the formation of two 3d‐3d heterometallic coordination frameworks: [ZnCo(Hcit)Cl] ( 1 ) and [ZnCo(Hcit)Br] ( 2 ). X‐ray structure analyses show that both compounds 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n [ 1 : a = 5.8699(5) Å, b = 17.7963(13) Å, c = 9.2152(8) Å, β = 106.806(4) °, Z = 4, V = 921.53(13) Å³; 2 : a = 5.909(3) Å, b = 17.798(8) Å, c = 9.302(5) Å, β = 106.374(7) °, Z = 4, V = 938.6(8) Å³]. The structures of the two compounds are almost the same except for the terminal halogen ligand. Both of them are 3D frameworks based on citric acid bridging ligands and a 1D backbone chain built of corner‐shared {CoO₆} and {ZnO₃Cl} polyhedra. Photoluminescence and thermal stabilities of the compounds were studied.     

New gallium pentaphosphates: AGa2P5O16 (A=Rb,Cs)

Gallium pentaphosphates have been synthesized for the first time. These compounds, RbGa₂P₅O₁₆ and CsGa₂P₅O₁₆, are isotypic to the cesium pentaphosphates CsM₂P₅O₁₆ (M=Fe, V). They crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric Pn space group with a=7.4058(3) Å, b=9.2151(2) Å, c=10.0912(11) Å, β=110.768(8)°, V=643.9(1) Å³ (Z=2) and a=7.462(2) Å, b=9.241(3) Å, c=10.103(2) Å, β=110.731(16)°, V=651.5(3) Å³ (Z=2) for the rubidium and cesium compounds, respectively. The single crystal structure determination shows that the 3D [Ga₂P₅O₁₆]_∞ framework is rather rigid and does not vary significantly whatever M=Fe, V, Ga and A=Rb, Cs. The strongly distorted character of the pentaphosphate unit may be at the origin of strains along the P₅O₁₆ group, which explains the difficulty to stabilize pentaphosphates.

Reactions of [NH⁴]₂[MS₄](M = Mo,W), CuX(X = Br, I) and PPh₃ in the solid state produced four mixed-metal sulfur containing clusters {Cu₃MS₃X}(PPh₃)₃S(M = Mo, W; X = Br, I), two of which (1: M = Mo, X = I; 2: M = W, X = Br) were structurally determined.

The results of the structure determination showed that the central units of the two cubane-like cluster compounds are composed of four metal atoms and four non-metal atoms situated at alternate corners. The differences of cubane-like cluster compounds obtained from solid state reactions and from solution reactions are discussed.

These two compounds have been obtained by high-temperature solid state route. Their structures have been solved and refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The structure of Cs₄Re₆S₈Br₆ presents isolated anionic cluster units inscribed in a (Cs⁺)₁₂ cuboctahedron and the one of Cs₂Re₆S₈Br₄ exhibits ReS^i-a,a-iRe inter-unit bridges. The framework of the latter presents then a strongly 1-D character.

Moreover, the polymeric chains are ultimately packed into a three‐dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework through C–H ··· O and N–H ··· O hydrogen bonding interactions.

The compounds are isostructural and crystallize in space group P\bar{1} of the triclinic system with two formula units in a cell of dimensions: a = 6.937(1) Å, b = 6.950(2) Å, c = 8.844(3) Å, α = 71.07(2)°, β = 78.56(2)°, γ = 75.75(2)°, V = 387.6(2) Å³ for KTaGeS₅; a = 6.996(3) Å, b = 7.033(3) Å, c = 8.985(4) Å, α = 70.33(3)°, β = 78.12(4)°, γ = 75.63(4)°, V = 399.6(3) Å³ for RbTaGeS₅; a = 7.012(4) Å, b = 7.202(3) Å, c = 9.267(5) Å, α = 68.55(3)°, β = 77.27(4)°, γ = 74.75(4)°, V = 416.2(4) Å³ for CsTaGeS₅. The structures of ATaGeS₅ (A = K, Rb, Cs) are comprised of anionic infinite two‐dimensional {}_\infty^2 [TaGeS₅^–] layers separated from one another by alkali metal cations (A⁺). Each layer is made up of tantalum centered sulfur octahedra and pairs of edge‐sharing germanium centered sulfur tetrahedra. The classical charge valence of these compounds should be represented by [A⁺][(Ta⁵⁺)(Ge⁴⁺)(S^2–)₅]. UV/Vis diffuse reflectance measurements indicate that they are semiconductors with optical bandgaps of ca. 2.0 eV.

Brown crystals of [NMe₄]₄[(Se₄Br₁₀)₂(Se₂Br₂)₂] ( 1 ) were obtained from the reaction of selenium and bromine in acetonitrile in the presence of tetramethylammonium bromide. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by X‐ray diffraction and refined to R = 0.0297 for 8401 reflections.

In the solid‐state structure, the anion of 1 is built up of two [Se₄Br₁₀]^2– ions. Each shows a triangular arrangement of three planar SeBr₄ units sharing a common edge through two μ₃‐bridging bromine atoms, and one SeBr₂ molecule, which is linked to the Se^II atoms of two SeBr₄ units; between the Se₄Br₁₀^2– ions a dimerized Se₂Br₂ molecule (Se₄Br₄) is situated and one Se^I atom of each Se₂Br₂ molecule has two weak contacts [3.3514(14) Å and 3.3952(11) Å] to two bromine atoms of one SeBr₄ unit.

Contacts between the Se^II atom of the SeBr₂ molecule and the Se^II atoms of two SeBr₄ units are 3.035(1) Å and 3.115(1) Å, and can be interpreted as donor‐acceptor type bonds with the Se^II atoms of SeBr₄ units as donors and the SeBr₂ molecule as acceptor.

Two novel borophosphates, M^II(C₄H₁₂N₂)[B₂P₃O₁₂(OH)] (M^II = Co, Zn), exhibiting open frameworks, have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions (T = 165 °C).

CRYSTAL STRUCTURES AND TRIBOLUMINESCENT ACTIVITIES OF SAMARIUM(III) COMPLEXES

Abstract

The triboluminescence spectra and crystal structures of 1,2-dimethylpyridinium tetrakis(2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonato)samarium(III) (1) and 1,2,6-trimethylpyridinium tetrakis(2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonato)samarium(III) (2) were determined. The triboluminescent maximums are similar to those of the photoluminescence. Complex 1 is centrosymmetric and the triboluminescent emission may correlate with the disorder of all S atoms, all CF₃ groups and the cation. The triboluminescent activity of complex 2 may correlate with its noncentrosymmetric space group. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/a with cell parameters a = 19.874(2) Å, b = 22.922(2)Å, c = 21.188(1)Å, β = 108.126(6)°, V = 9173(1)ų; Z = 8; R = 0.0758 and R_w = 0.1315. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Pn with cell parameters a = 11.2808(6)Å, b = 11.0199(5)Å c c = 18.4336(9)Å, β = 108.126(6)° V = 2285.28(19)ų; Z = 4; R = 0.0347 and R_w = 0.0900. All the structures were refined by full-matrix least squares methods.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,and characterization of a new high-dimensional phosphomolybdate architecture built from silver-complex fragments and hexa-connected P2Mo5 clusters

A new 3-D organic–inorganic hybrid phosphomolybdate, [Ag(bipy)]₄(H₂P₂Mo₅O₂₃) · 3H₂O (1) (bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, TG, and fluorescent properties. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 23.830(5), b = 21.030(4), c = 24.501(5) Å, β = 110.38(3)°, V = 11510(4) ų, Z = 8, and R ₁ (wR ₂) = 0.0507 (0.1210). It contains unique 3-D metal organic frameworks based on silver-complex fragments and hexa-connected P₂Mo₅ clusters via covalent bonds and represents the highest connection numbers of P₂Mo₅ clusters to date.
