Two novel compounds, [Co(4,4'-bipy)(H(2)O)(4)](4-abs)(2).H(2)O (1) and [Mn(4,4'-bipy)(H(2)O)(4)](4-abs)(2).2H(2)O (2) (4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine; 4-abs = 4-aminobenzenesulfonate), have been synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, UV-vis and IR spectra, and TG analysis.

Coordination polymers based on cobridging of rigid and flexible spacer ligands: syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of [Mn(bpy)(H2O)(C4H4O4)].0.5bpy, Mn(bpy)(C5H6O4), and Mn(bpy)(C6H8O4)

Reactions of 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) with Mn(C(4)H(4)O(4)).4H(2)O and Mn(C(5)H(6)O(4)).4H(2)O in methanolic aqueous solutions yielded [Mn(bpy)(H(2)O)(C(4)H(4)O(4))].0.5bpy (1) and Mn(bpy)(C(5)H(6)O(4)) (2), respectively, and reactions of freshly prepared Mn(OH)(2)(-)(2)(x)(CO(3))(x).yH(2)O, adipic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine in a methanolic aqueous solution afforded Mn(bpy)(C(6)H(8)O(4)) (3). The six-coordinate Mn atoms in 1 are interlinked by flexible succinato ligands to form layers, which are sustained by rigid bpy ligands into an 3D open framework with the free bpy molecules in tunnels. The ribbonlike chains in 2 result from Mn atoms bridged by glutarato ligands and are connected by bpy ligands into open layers. In 3, the Mn atoms are bridged by both bpy and adipato ligands to form 3D nanoporous frameworks and 2-fold interpenetration of the resulting 3D frameworks completes the crystal structure. In comparison with 1 and 2, compound 3 displays significant antiferromagnetic behavior at low temperature. The antiferromagnetic exchange becomes stronger from 1 through 2 to 3, and the antiferromagnetic ordering of Mn(2+) centers is related to the syn-syn bridging mode of the terminal carboxylate groups of alpha,omega-dicarboxylate anions.

For structure 1, the layer consists of corner-sharing [MoO(4)] tetrehedra and [CuN(2)O(3)] square pyramids, while the layer of 2 is constructed from [MoO(4)] tetrehedra and binuclear [Cu(2)O(6)N(2)] units of edge-sharing copper square pyramids. The oxide substructure of 3 consists of [MoO(4)] tetrahedra corner-sharing with tetranuclear clusters of edge-sharing [CuO(5)N] octahedra. Crystal data: C(10)H(8)N(2)O(4)CuMo (1), orthorhombic Pbca, a = 12.4823(6) A, b = 9.1699(4) A, c = 19.5647(9) A, V = 2239.4(1) A(3), Z = 8; C(5)H(4)NO(4)CuMo (2), triclinic P, a = 5.439(1) A, b = 6.814(1) A, c = 10.727(2) A, alpha = 73.909(4)(o), beta = 78.839(4)(o); gamma = 70.389(4)(o); V = 357.6(1) A(3), Z = 2; C(10)H(8)N(2)O(8)Cu(2)Mo(2).3H(2)O 3.1.5H(2)O, triclinic P, a = 7.4273(7) A, b = 9.2314(8) A, c = 13.880(1) A, alpha = 71.411(2)(o), beta = 88.528(2)(o), gamma = 73.650(2)(o), V = 863.4(1) A(3), Z = 2. The magnetic properties of 1-3 arise solely from the presence of the Cu(II) sites, but reflect the structural differences within the bimetallic oxide layers. Compound 1 exhibits magnetic behavior consistent with ferromagnetic chains which couple antiferromagnetically at low temperature. Compound 2 exhibits strong antiferromagnetic dimeric interactions, with the magnetic susceptibility data consistent with the Bleaney-Bowers equation. Similarly, the magnetic susceptibility of 3 is dominated by antiferromagnetic interactions, which may be modeled as a linear S = 1/2 Heisenberg tetramer.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Cobalt(II) Complex [Co(H2O)2(bpe)(OAc)2](4,4''-dpdo

The reaction of Co(OAc)2 with bpe and 4,4'-dpdo in an aqueous-alcohol solution affords the formation of red crystals of [Co(H2O)2(bpe)(OAc)2](4,4'-dpdo (bpe = trans-1,2-bis(4- pyridyl)ethylene, 4,4'-dpdo = 4,4'-dipyridyl N,N'-oxide). The molecular and crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal is of triclinic, space group P with a = 7.6146(9), b = 8.6691(11), c = 10.344011 A, α = 88.311(3), β = 76.992(3), γ = 75.809(3)°, V = 644.7613 A3, Z = 1, C26H28CoN4O8, Mr = 583.45, Dc = 1.503 g/cm3, μ = 0.724 mm-1, F(000) = 303, T = 223(2) K, the final R = 0.0477 and wR = 0.1177 for 3199 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). In the crystal the cobalt atom is six-coordinated by oxygen atoms from two carboxylic molecules, two nitrogen atoms from the bpe ligands and two water molecules, completing an octahedral geometry. The structure of the title complex consists of neutral chains containing cobalt(II) ions bridged by mutually trans bpe molecules. The adjacent chains are connected through weak hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional structure.     

Hydrogen-bonded Three-Dimensional Networks Encapsulating One-dimensional Covalent Chains: [Cu(3-ampy)(H2O)4](SO4)·(H2O) (3-ampy = 3-Aminopyridine)

A three-dimensional complex [Cu(3-ampy)(H2O)4](SO4)·(H2O) (3-ampy = 3-aminopyridine) has been synthesized. Crystallographic data: C5H16CuN2O9S, Mr = 343.80, triclinic, space group P, a = 7.675(2), b = 8.225(3), c = 10.845(3) (A), α= 86.996(4), β = 76.292(4),γ = 68.890(4)°, V = 620.0(3) (A)3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.841 g/cm3, F(000) = 354 and μ = 1.971 mm-1. The structure was refined to R = 0.0269 and wR = 0.0659 for 1838 observed reflections (I ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ)). The structure consists of [Cu(3-ampy)(H2O)4]2 cations, SO42- anions and lattice water molecules. 3-Ampy acting as a bidentate bridging ligand generates a 1D covalent chain. A supramolecular 2D framework is formed through π-π stacking of pyridine rings. The lattice water molecules and SO42- anions are located between the adjacent 2D frameworks. The hydrogen bonding interactions from lattice water molecules and SO42- anions to coordinate water extend the 2D framework into a 3D network.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Binuclear Complex: [Cu2(phen)2(ip)(Hip)2]·4H2O

A binuclear complex [Cu2(phen)2(ip)(Hip)2]·4H2O has been synthesized by the reaction of Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O, phen(1,10-phenanthroline) and isophthalic acid (H2ip) under hydrothermal condition. Elemental analysis, IR spectra and X-ray single-crystal diffraction were carried out to determine the composition and crystal structure. Crystal data for this complex: monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 19.214(3), b = 10.6973(14), c = 22.567(3) (A), β = 105.081(2)°,C24H19N2O8Cu, Mr= 526.95, Z = 8, F(000) = 2160, V= 4478.6(10)(A)3, Dc = 1.563 g/cm3, μ = 1.030mm-1, -24≤h≤16, -13 ≤k≤ 13, -28≤l≤28, R = 0.0369 and wR = 0.0819 for 4615 (Rint = 1.0357)independent reflections and 3290 observed ones (I＞ 2σ(Ⅰ)). Structural analysis shows that coordination geometry of Cu(Ⅱ) is a planar square, and the title complex exhibits a 2-D framework supramolecular structure by hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions.
