The compound of composition [{Mo₃O₄(H₂O)₆Cl₃}₂(Na₂Cl⊂ C₃₀H₃₀N ₂₀O₁₀)]Cl₃⋅14H₂O (1) was prepared by evaporation of a hydrochloric acid solution containing NaCl, the trinuclear aqua complex [Mo₃O₄(H₂O)₉]⁴⁺, and the macrocyclic cavitand cucurbit[5]uril (C₃₀H₃₀N₂₀O₁₀). X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated that the cucurbit[5]uril molecule is closed on both sides by the cluster cations through hydrogen bonding between the CO groups of the cucurbit[5]uril portals and the aqua ligands of the oxo cluster. The inner cavity of the supramolecular adduct includes an unusual ionic associate Na⁺...Cl...Na⁺. The sodium cations are coordinated by five carbonyl oxygen atoms of each portal of the macrocycle. Compound 1 is the first structurally characterized complex, in which the macrocyclic cucurbit[5]uril ligand is directly coordinated to the alkali metal cation.

New lanthanide-based complexes constructed from cucurbit[6]uril: Synthesis,structures and properties

Three lanthanide-based complexes, {Gd₂(H₂O)₁₀(CB[6])₂}·CB[6]·6Cl·12H₂O (1), {[Gd₂(H₂O)₈CB[6]₂]·(CuCl₄)·4Cl·46H₂O}_n (2), and {Dy₂(NO₃)₂(H₂O)₁₀(CB[6])}·4NO₃·14H₂O (3) (CB[6] = cucurbit[6]uril), were prepared with cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]). These complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, UV–Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and magnetization measurements. Crystallographic results showed that 1 and 3 are dinuclear and crystallize in the triclinic space group Pī, whereas 2 is a 1-D zigzag supramolecular chain that crystallizes in the monoclinic system in C2/c. The results indicated that temperature has a big effect on the supramolecular assemblies and a different structure inducer also leads to the formation of different coordination polymers. Frequency dependence in the ac susceptibility signals was observed in 3.     

Self-assembly of 1-D, 2-D,and 3-D transition-metal coordination polymers based on a T-shaped tripodal ligand 4-(4,5-dicarboxy-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine 1-oxide

Three coordination polymers, {[Co(C₁₀H₅N₃O₅)(H₂O)₂]·H₂O}_n (1), {[Mn₃(C₁₀H₅N₃O₅)₂Cl₂(H₂O)₆]·2H₂O}_n (2), and {[Cu₃(C₁₀H₄N₃O₅)₂(H₂O)₃]·4H₂O}_n (3), based on a T-shaped tripodal ligand 4-(4,5-dicarboxy-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine 1-oxide (H₃DCImPyO), were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The polymers showed diverse coordination modes, being characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. In 1, the HDCImPyO^2? generated a 1-D chain by adopting a μ₂-kN, O : kN′, O′ coordination mode to bridge two Co(II) ions in two bis-N,O-chelating modes. In 2, the HDCImPyO^2? adopted a μ₃-kN, O : kO′, O′′ : O′′′ coordination mode to bridge two crystallographically independent Mn(II) ions, forming a 2-D hcb network with {6³} topology. In 3, by adopting μ₄-kN, O : kO′, O′′ : kN′′, O′′′ : O′′′′ coordination, DCImPyO^3? bridged three crystallographically independent Cu(II) ions to form a 3-D framework having the stb topology.     

A novel cadmium(II) coordination polymer containing two kinds of independent one‐dimensional chain

The structure of the title compound, catena‐poly[[cadmium(II)‐di‐μ‐chlorido‐μ‐(1,4‐diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane‐1‐carboxylato)] [[aquachloridocadmium(II)]‐di‐μ‐chlorido] dihydrate], {[Cd(C₈H₁₅N₂O₂)Cl₂][CdCl₃(H₂O)]·2H₂O}_n, contains two kinds of independent one‐dimensional chain, viz. {[Cd(C₈H₁₅N₂O₂)Cl₂]⁺}_n and {[CdCl₃(H₂O)]⁻}_n, and uncoordinated water molecules. Each Cd^II cation in the {[Cd(C₈H₁₅N₂O₂)Cl₂]⁺}_n chain is octahedrally coordinated by two pairs of bridging chloride ligands and two O atoms from different bridging carboxylate groups. Cd^II cations in the {[CdCl₃(H₂O)]⁻}_n chain are also octahedrally surrounded by four bridging chloride ligands, one terminal chloride ligand and one coordinated water molecule. Hydrogen bonds between solvent water molecules and these two independent chains generate a three‐dimensional framework containing two‐dimensional zigzag layers.<!?tpb=18pt>     

Use of the macrocyclic ligand cucurbit[6]uril for isolation of tetranuclear lanthanide aquahydroxo-carboxylate complexes from aqueous solutions

The tetranuclear lanthanide complexes {[Ln₄(μ₃-OH)₄(μ₂-OH)₂(C₅NH₄COO)₂ (H₂O)₄-(C₃₆H₃₆N₂₄O₁₂)₂][Ln(H₂O)₈]_1.5[Ln(H₂O)₆(NO₃)₂]_0.5} (NO₃)₉·nH₂O (Ln = Ho, Gd, or Er) were prepared by heating (130 °C) aqueous solutions of lanthanide nitrates, cucurbit[6]uril (C₃₆H₃₆N₂₄O₁₂), and 4-cyanopyridine. The tetradentate coordination of the macrocyclic cucurbit[6]uril ligands through the portals leads to the formation of sandwich compounds, in which the tetranuclear hydroxo complex is located between two macrocyclic molecules. The polynuclear complexes are additionally stabilized by the chelating effect of the isonicotinate ligands generated by hydrolysis of 4-cyanopyridine. In the complexes, the aromatic moiety of the isonicotinate ion is encapsulated into the hydrophobic inner cavity of cucurbit[6]uril. In the absence of cucurbit[6]uril, the reaction with 4-cyanopyridine produces only the polymeric complexes [Nd(C₅NH₄COO)₃(H₂O)₂] and [Ln(C₅NH₄COO)₂(H₂O)₄]NO₃ (Ln = Pr, Sm, or Gd), whose structures were established by X-ray diffraction. In water and aqueous solutions of nonionic and cationic surfactants, irreversible changes of the tetranuclear fragment of the complex (Ln = Gd) were observed after storage for two days, whereas the anionic surfactant stabilizes the complexes.

Synthesis and crystal structures of two new uranyl coordination compounds obtained in aqueous solutions of 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride

Abstract

Two new uranyl coordination compounds, [C₉H₁₇N₂]₃[(UO₂)₂(CrO₄)₂Cl₂(H₂O)₂]Cl·5H₂O (1) and (C₉H₁₇N₂)[(UO₂)(C₂O₄)Cl] (2), have been synthesized by adding potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) or oxalic acid dihydrate (H₂C₂O₄·2H₂O) solution into an aqueous solution of uranyl nitrate and 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride [Bmmim]Cl. [Bmmim]Cl provides the charge balance and Cl ions that coordinate with uranyl ions. The fundamental building units of 1 and 2 are UO₆Cl pentagonal bipyramidal structures. Compound 1 exhibits a graphene-like structure with a system molar ratio of 1:1 for U:Cr and crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca, with a = 25.644(3) Å, b = 12.996(14) Å and c = 29.198(4) Å. 16-Membered rings are formed by CrO₄^2? and UO₂²⁺ in the crystal structure of 1. Compound 2 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2₁/n, with a = 10.759(3) Å, b = 11.395(3) Å, c = 14.149(4) Å, β = 102.962(9)° and shows one-dimensional (1D) serrated chains. Within the crystal structures of 1 and 2, C–H_[Bmmim]Cl?O hydrogen bonds are identified. O–H_water?Cl hydrogen bonds are also detected in the crystal structure for 1.     

Supramolecular compounds of chloroaquacomplexes [Mo3Q4(H2O)9−x Clx](4−x )+ (Q = S, Se; x = 2, 3, 5) with cucurbit[n]urils

The following adducts of cucurbit[6]uril and cucurbit[8]uril with triangular cluster chloroaquacomplexes have been prepared and characterized: {[Mo₃S₄(H₂O)₇Cl₂]₂(CB[₆])}Cl₄·13H₂O (I), (H₃O)₂{[Mo₃Se₄×(H₂O)₆Cl₃](CB[6])}Cl₃·3.5H₂O (II) and (H₃O)₂{[Mo₃S₄(H₂O)₄Cl₅](CB[8])}Cl·14H₂O (III). It is shown that the formation of complementary hydrogen bonds in the systems cucurbit[6]uril/[M₃Q₄(H₂O)_9?x Cl_x]^(4?x)+ (x = 1–3) results in a selective isolation of isomers containing chlorine atom in the trans-position to the capping μ₃-ligand. For large x, a selective inclusion of one or another form into the supramolecular compound is also affected by other factors (a system of hydrogen bonds, S?S and S…Cl interactions between cluster complexes, packing effects etc.).     

Metal ion-assisted assembly of one-dimensional polyrotaxanes incorporating cucurbit[6]uril

Three cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6])-based polyrotaxanes [Cu(H₂ C6N4)(CB[6])]Cl₄·12H₂O (1), [Co(H₂ C6N4)(CB[6])]Cl₄·14H₂O (2) and [Ag(C6N4)(CB[6])]NO₃·7H₂O (3) are prepared using N,N′-bis(4-pyridylmethyl)-1,6-hexanediamine (C6N4) threading into CB[6]'s and metal ions' assistance. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that polyrotaxanes 1, 2 and 3 all have 1D chain structure where 1 and 2 are linear and 3 has two shapes, linear and sawtooth, respectively. The effects of guest molecules, metal and counter ions as well as intermolecular weak interactions on the architectures of polyrotaxanes are discussed.     

Redetermination of the double salt Λ‐[tris­(ethyl­enediamine)­cobalt(III) trichloride]–sodium chloride–water (2/1/6)

The structure of the title compound, {[Co(C₂H₈N₂)₃]Cl₃}₂·‐[Na(H₂O)₆]Cl, has been redetermined to a higher degree of accuracy. The true space group is shown to be trigonal P3, but the structure is extremely close to hexagonal P6₃. Both of the independent Λ‐[Co(en)₃]Cl₃ moieties (en is ethyl­enedi­amine) and the [Na(H₂O)₆]Cl unit reside on sites of crystallographic threefold symmetry. The sodium and chloride ions share the same lattice positions and the whole [Na(H₂O)₆]Cl unit is disordered over two positions in an approximate ratio of 0.73:0.27.
