Syntheses, Structures and Characterizations of Two New Vanadium(V) Complexes: [PyH][VⅤO2(C14H9N2O3Br)] and [VⅤO(C14H9N2O3Br)(OCH3)]

The new oxovanadium (Ⅴ) complex, [PyH][VO2(L)] 1 (salicyladehyde 5-bromo salicyloylhydrazone is abbreviated as H2L; Hpy is protonated pyridine) was obtained from a refluxed solution of VOSO4 and H2L in acetonitrile-methanol-pyridine. Similarly, another new complex, [VO(L)(OCH3)] 2 was synthesized by refluxing VOSO4 and H2L in methanol-pyridine. Crystal data for 1: C19H15N3O5BrV, Mr = 496.2, monoclinic, P21/n, a = 7.1885(3), b = 9.2718(3), c = 28.803(1) (A), ( = 96.185(1)(, Z = 4 and V = 1908.6(1) (A)3; for 2: C15H12N2O5BrV, Mr = 431.1, monoclinic, P21/n, a = 12.202(2), b = 8.045(2), c = 16.604(3)(A), ( = 101.29(3)(, Z = 4 and V = 1598.4(2)(A)3. The structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by X-ray analyses and reveal that the coordination environments of V atoms in both complexes are of square-based pyramid. Three of the four based donor atoms are from the tridentate "ONO" donor ligand while the fourth is one terminal oxygen atom with the V(1)–O(3) distance 1.646(4) (A) for 1 and one -OCH3 group with the V(1)-O(3) distance 1.753(3)(A) for 2. The V(1)-O(4) terminals occupy the axial sites in both cases. The complexes are also characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopies.     

Effects of the structure and morphology of zinc glutarate on the fixation of carbon dioxide into polymer

Zinc glutarates were synthesized from zinc oxides with varying purities via different stirring routes. The particle size and structure of these zinc glutarates were determined by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and the laser particle size analyzer technique. The results demonstrated that the crystallinity and crystalline perfectness of zinc glutarate are the crucial factors that affect the catalytic activity for the copolymerization of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and propylene oxide (PO). Additionally, the catalyst with a small particle size dramatically increased the yield of the copolymerization between CO₂ and PO. High‐molecular‐weight and regular molecular structure poly(propylene carbonate)s (PPC)s were obtained from CO₂ and PO with the synthesized zinc glutarates. Very high catalytic activity of 160.4 g polymer/g catalyst was afforded. The NMR technique revealed that the PPC copolymer exhibits an exact alternating copolymer structure. The relationships between the crystallinity and the particle size of catalyst with the catalytic activity are correlated and discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Triple hydrogen bonds direct crystal engineering of metal-assembled complexes: the effect of a novel organic-inorganic module on supramolecular structure

Novel triply hydrogen bonded suprastructures based on [M(tdpd)2(L)2]2- (H2tdpd=1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-5,6-dioxo-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitrile, L=solvent) and melamine-analogous cations have been synthesized and characterized. The use of anions containing two AAA sets from [M(tdpd)2(L)2]2- together with cations containing one DDD set (A=hydrogen-bond acceptor, D=hydrogen-bond donor) leads to the formation of complementary triply hydrogen bonded modules in the solid state. In all cases, the building module is further extended via additional hydrogen-bonding interactions to produce a tape, and tapes are assembled into sheets. These results show that a hydrogen-bonded module consisting of different kinds of building blocks, one of which is a metal complex that includes hydrogen-bond acceptor sites and the other is a hydrogen-bond donor molecule, will be attractive for constructing metal-containing supramolecular systems by the self-assembly technique.
