Synthesis,and Experimental and Theoretical Characterization of 3-（4-（Dimethylamino） benzylidene）-l,5-dioxaspiro [5.5] Undecane-2,4-dione

The title molecule, 3-（4-（dimethylamino）benzylidene）-l,5-dioxaspiro[5.5] unde- cane-2,4-dione （I）, was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis spectra and X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound belongs to the triclinic system, space group Pi with a = 6.3640（6）, b = 7.7404（8）, c = 16.2890（18） A, α = 86.860（2）, β = 85.837（2）, γ = 79.6720（10）°, V = 786.60（14） A3, D, = 1.331 g/cm3, and F（000） = 336.

The electronic absorption spectra were studied with the time- dependent density functional theory （TD-DFT）, showing the calculation results in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data.     

Comparative Study of Hypophosphite H2PO2^- Adsorption on Ni（111） and Ag（111） Surfaces by DFT

Surface structures and electronic properties of hypophosphite H2PO2^- on Ni（111） and Ag（111） surfaces were investigated by means of density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31 ＋ ＋G（d,p） level. The most stable structure was that in which the H2PO2^- adsorbs with its two P--O bonds faced to the substrate surface. The results of the Mulliken population analysis showed that because of the subtle difference of electron configuration, the adsorption energy was larger on the Ni surface than on the Ag surface, and the amounts of both donation and back donation were larger on the Ni（111） surface than on the Ag（111） surface. There were more negative Mulliken charge transfer from H2PO2^- to substrate clusters on Ni surface than on Ag surface and more positive Mulliken charges on P atom in Ni4H2PO2^- than in Ag4H2PO2^-, which means that P atom in Ni4H2PO2^- is easily attacked by a nucleophile such as OH . Thus, H2PO2^- is more easily oxidated on Ni（111） surface than on Ag（111） suface. These results indicated that the silver surface is inactive for the oxidation reaction of the hypophosphite anion.     

Quantum Chemistry Studies on the Fe-Cu Interactions and 31p NMR in Fe（CO）3（Ph2Ppy）2（CuXn） （Xn = Cl2^2-, Cl-, Br-）

In order to study the Fe-Cu interactions and their effects on 31p NMR, the structures of mononuclear complex Fe（CO）3fPhzPpy）a 1 and binuclear complexes Fe（CO）3（PhEPpy）z（CuXn） （2： Xn = Cl2^2-, 3： Xn = Cl-, 4： Xn = Br-） are calculated by density functional theory （DFT） PBE0 method. For complexes 1, 3 and 4, the 31p NMR chemical shifts calculated by PBE0-GIAO method are in good agreement with experimental results. The 31p chemical shift is 82.10 ppm in the designed complex 2. The Fe-Cu interactions （including Fe→Cu and Fe←Cu charge transfer） mainly exhibit the indirect interactions. Moreover, the Fe-Cu（I） interactions （mostly acting as σFe-p→4Scu and aFe-C→4Scu charge transfer） in complexes 3 and 4 are stronger than Fe-Cu（Ⅱ） interactions （mostly acting as σFe-p→4Scu and σFe-p←4Sc,） in complex 2. In complex 2, the stronger Fe←Cu interac- tions, acting as σFe-p←44SCu charge transfer, increase the electron density on P nucleus, which causes the upfield 31p chemical shift compared with mononuclear complex 1. For 3 and 4, although a little deshielding for P nucleus is derived from the delocalization of σFe-p→4Scu due to the Fe→Cu interactions, the stronger σFe-c→np charge-transfer finally increases the electron density on P nucleus. As a result, an upfield 31p chemical shift is observed compared with 1. The stability follows the order of 2〉3=4, indicating that Fe（CO）3（PhzPpy）2（CuCl2） is stable and could be synthesized experimentally. The N-Cu（Ⅱ） interaction plays an important role in the stability of 2. Because the delocalization of σFe-p→4SCu and σFe-c→πc-o weakens the a bonds of Fe-C and ~r bonds of CO, it is favorable for increasing the catalytic activity of binuclear complexes. Complexes 3 and 4 are expected to show higher catalytic activity compared to 2.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Zinc Phosphonate Compound： [Zn（phen）（m-OOCC6H4PO3H）]

A novel zinc（H） metal phosphonate compound [Zn（phen）（m-OOCC6H4PO3H）] 1 （phen = phenanthroline） has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions.

Then every two adjacent asymmetric units are bridged by the O atoms from phosphonate group and carboxyl to give rise to a 1D chain along the b axis. These chains are constructed by weak π-π stacking interactions and C-H…π interactions to generate a 3D supramolecular framework.

The hydrothermal syntheses of a family of new alkali-metal/ammonium vanadium(V) methylphosphonates, M(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) (M = K, NH(4), Rb, Tl), are described. The crystal structures of K(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) and NH(4)(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) have been determined from single-crystal X-ray data. Crystal data: K(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2), M(r) = 475.93, trigonal, R32 (No. 155), a = 7.139(3) ?, c = 19.109(5) ?, Z = 3; NH(4)(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2), M(r) = 454.87, trigonal, R32 (No. 155), a = 7.150(3) ?, c = 19.459(5) ?, Z = 3.

In both phases, the vanadium octahedra display a distinctive two short + two intermediate + two long V-O bond distance distribution within the VO(6) unit. Interlayer potassium or ammonium cations provide charge balance for the anionic (VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) sheets. Powder X-ray, TGA, IR, and Raman data for these phases are reported and discussed. The structures of K(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) and NH(4)(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) are compared and contrasted with related layered phases based on the HTO motif.     

Single crystal X-ray structure study of the Li(2-x)Na(x)Ni[PO4]F system

The new compounds Li(2-x)Na(x)Ni[PO(4)]F (x = 0.7, 1, and 2) have been synthesized by a solid state reaction route. Their crystal structures were determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Li(1.3)Na(0.7)Ni[PO(4)]F crystallizes with the orthorhombic Li(2)Ni[PO(4)]F structure, space group Pnma, a = 10.7874(3), b = 6.2196(5), c = 11.1780(4) ? and Z = 8, LiNaNi[PO(4)]F crystallizes with a monoclinic pseudomerohedrally twinned structure, space group P2(1)/c, a = 6.772(4), b = 11.154(6), c = 5.021(3) ?, β = 90° and Z = 4, and Na(2)Ni[PO(4)]F crystallizes with a monoclinic twinned structure, space group P2(1)/c, a = 13.4581(8), b = 5.1991(3), c = 13.6978(16) ?, β = 120.58(1)° and Z = 8. For x = 0.7 and 1, the structures contain NiFO(3) chains made up of edge-sharing NiO(4)F(2) octahedra, whereas for x = 2 the chains are formed of dimer units (face-sharing octahedra) sharing corners. These chains are interlinked by PO(4) tetrahedra forming a 3D framework for x = 0.7 and different Ni[PO(4)]F layers for x = 1 and 2. A sodium/lithium disorder over three atomic positions is observed in Li(1.3)Na(0.7)Ni[PO(4)]F structure, whereas the alkali metal atoms are well ordered in between the layers in the LiNaNi[PO(4)]F and Na(2)Ni[PO(4)]F structures, which makes both compounds of great interest as potential positive electrodes for sodium cells.

Two new phosphates, Bi(4.25)(PO4)2O(3.375) and Bi(5)(PO(4))(2)O(4.5), have been analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the series Bi(4+x)(PO4)2O(3+3x/2) (0.175 < or = x < or = 1). The syntheses of the compositions ranging from x = 0.175 to 0.475 were carried out by the ceramic route. The compositions from x = 0.175 to 0.475 form a solid solution with a structure similar to that of Bi(4.25)(PO4)2O(3.375), while Bi(5)(PO4)2O(4.5) was isolated from a mixture of two phases. Both of the phases form fluorite-related structures but, nevertheless, differ from each other with respect to the arrangement of the bismuth atoms. The uniqueness in the structures is the appearance of isolated PO(4) tetrahedra separated by interleaving [Bi2O2] units. ac impedance studies indicate conductivity on the order of 10(-5) S cm(-1) for Bi(4.25)(PO4)2O(3.375).

In the most general case, the existing species are MHA(+), MA, M(OH)A(-), MH(2)A(2), MHA(-)(2) and MA(2-)(2), where A(2-) stands for the fully ionized ligand; preliminary examination of results points out some predominant microscopic forms.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Palladium(II) and Platinum(II) Complexes Containing Water-Soluble Hybrid Phosphine-Phosphonate Ligands

Water-soluble phosphonate-functionalized triaryl phosphine ligands Na(2)[Ph(2)P(4-C(6)H(4)PO(3))].1.5H(2)O (4a), Na(2)[Ph(2)P(3-C(6)H(4)PO(3))].2H(2)O (4b), and Na(2)[Ph(2)P(2-C(6)H(4)PO(3))].2H(2)O (4c), were prepared in 54-56% yields by the transesterification and hydrolysis of the appropriate phosphonic acid diethyl ester precursors. The solubilities of 4a-c in water are compared and the spectroscopic properties studied in detail. The crystal structure of Na(2)[Ph(2)P(4-C(6)H(4)PO(3))(H(2)O)(3)(CH(3)OH)].CH(3)OH (monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 6.4457(8) ?, b = 8.1226(8) ?, c = 46.351(3) ?, beta = 92.902(8) degrees, Z = 4) shows a dimeric association via two bridging water molecules and four sodium ions.

Syntheses, structures, and ion-exchange properties of the three-dimensional framework uranyl gallium phosphates, Cs4[(UO2)2(GaOH)2(PO4)4].H2O and Cs[UO2Ga(PO4)2

The reaction of UO(2)(NO(3))(2).6H(2)O with Cs(2)CO(3) or CsCl, H(3)PO(4), and Ga(2)O(3) under mild hydrothermal conditions results in the formation of Cs(4)[(UO(2))(2)(GaOH)(2)(PO(4))(4)].H(2)O (UGaP-1) or Cs[UO(2)Ga(PO(4))(2)] (UGaP-2). The structure of UGaP-1 was solved from a twinned crystal revealing a three-dimensional framework structure consisting of one-dimensional (1)(infinity)[Ga(OH)(PO(4))(2)](4-) chains composed of corner-sharing GaO(6) octahedra and bridging PO(4) tetrahedra that extend along the c axis. The phosphate anions bind the UO(2)(2+) cations to form UO(7) pentagonal bipyramids. The UO(7) moieties edge-share to create dimers that link the gallium phosphate substructure into a three-dimensional (3)(infinity)[(UO(2))(2)(GaOH)(2)(PO(4))(4)](4-) anionic lattice that has intersecting channels running down the b and c axes. Cs(+) cations and water molecules occupy these channels. The structure of UGaP-2 is also three-dimensional and contains one-dimensional (1)(infinity)[Ga(PO(4))(2)](3-) gallium phosphate chains that extend down the a axis. These chains are formed from fused eight-membered rings of corner-sharing GaO(4) and PO(4) tetrahedra. The chains are in turn linked together into a three-dimensional (3)(infinity)[UO(2)Ga(PO(4))(2)](1-) framework by edge-sharing UO(7) dimers as occurs in UGaP-1. There are channels that run down the a and b axes through the framework. These channels contain the Cs(+) cations. Ion-exchange studies indicate that the Cs(+) cations in UGaP-1 and UGaP-2 can be exchanged for Ca(2+) and Ba(2+). Crystallographic data: UGaP-1, monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a = 18.872(1), b = 9.5105(7), c = 14.007(1) A, beta = 109.65(3)(o) , Z = 4 (T = 295 K); UGaP-2, triclinic, space group P, a = 7.7765(6), b = 8.5043(7), c = 8.9115(7) A, alpha = 66.642(1)(o), beta = 70.563(1)(o), gamma = 84.003(2)(o), Z = 2 (T = 193 K).     

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Three-dimensional Compound {Mn（H2O）4（VO）2（PO4）2}n

1 INTRODUCTION Current research interest is focused on the designof structures built up from octahedral and tetrahedralbuilding blocks[1]. During the wide investigations intransition-metal phosphates for many years, a num-ber of new mixed transition-metal phosphates havebeen reported[2]. A great number of manganese phos-phates were largely discovered as minerals[1]. On theother hand, many vanadium phosphates have alsobeen prepared recently partly because of their poten-tial applications …
