A new hydrogen-bonded polymeric Mn(III) complex C₁₉H₂₀Mn₁N₃O₃S₁ (1) has been synthesised by conventional procedure with a new Schiff base ligand (2Z,3Z)-N ¹,N ²-bis(1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine (H ₂ L) bearing a tetradentate N₂O₂ donor site. The complex has been characterised with several spectroscopic techniques like FT-IR, UV/Vis and EPR and also well supported by variable temperature magnetic susceptibility study. The structure of the co-ordination complex has been unequivocally confirmed from single crystal X-ray diffraction study.

Synthesis and luminescence of polymeric metal complexes based on 1,10-phenanthroline and 8-hydroxyquinoline

A ligand containing different coordination groups, 5-([1,10]phenanthroline-[4,5-f]imidazo-2-yl)-8-hydroxyquinoline (PhenI8Q) has been synthesized and two corresponding polymeric metal complexes Cu(II) (1) and Zn(II) (2) were prepared by coordination polymerization of the ligand with copper(II) and zinc(II) halides, respectively. The ligand was characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) and its corresponding polymeric metal complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis, and conductivity measurements. The absorption spectra and luminescence of the ligand, 1, and 2 were investigated by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy at room temperature. Compared with the ligand, the fluorescence spectra of the polymeric metal complexes exhibit blue shifts in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution and bathochromic shifts in the solid state. Complexes 1 and 2 emit blue light with emission maximum (λ _{f max}) at 449 and 431 nm in DMSO solution and at 485 and 484 nm in the solid state, respectively.     

Studies on Rare Earth Polyphosphate Glasses of the Composition [NaxM(1 − x)/2aGd(1 − x)/2aPO3]n

A fusion technique was used for the preparation of derivatives of the composition [Na _x M_{(1? x)/2a} Gd_{(1? x)/2a} PO₃] _n (where M = bivalent metal like Cu(II), Ca(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), and Mg (II); x = 1/2, 3/4, & 2/3; and a = valency of metal). Composition of these polyphosphate glasses was confirmed by their analyses for metals and phosphorus. The polymeric nature of all polyphosphate glasses was confirmed by the determination of a number average molecular weight (M _n ). The characteristic frequencies in the IR spectra are supportive of the presence of polyphosphate indicative of the polymeric nature of these derivatives. From X-ray diffraction, the amorphous nature of complex polyphosphates has been determined.     

Anion-controlled geometrically different Cu(II) ion-based coordination polymers and green synthetic route for copper nanoparticles: a combined experimental and computational insight

Abstract

The Cu(II) ion-based polymeric complexes [Cu(2,2′-bpy).(N₃)₂]_n (I), [Cu₂(2,2′-bpy)₂.(N₃)₄]_n (II), and monomeric complex [Cu(2,2′-bpy).(NO₃)₂].5H₂O (III) have been synthesized with rigid (–N₃) and aromatic (2,2′-bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl) ligand. The rigid azide group is responsible for the formation of 1-D extended structures in complexes I and II where as in the case of complex III, a monomeric complex is formed due to lack of a bridging group like –N₃, resulting in limitation in dimensionality. The thermal stability of the 1-D complexes is comparatively higher than monomeric complex III. Hirshfeld surface analysis has also been applied to investigate other weak interactions and compared with the results from single-crystal X-ray data. Due to the presence of paramagnetic metal centers and long metal···metal distances in complexes I and II and presence of lattice water molecules in complex III, decrease in luminescence intensities have been observed. To attain further insights into the aforementioned interesting species, some chemical concepts such as highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gap, electronic chemical potential, chemical hardness, and electrophilicity index, identified as a derivative of electronic energy, have also been emphasized employing the quantum chemical calculations in the framework of the density functional theory method using the M06-2X/ 6-31G** level of study. Further, these complexes have been used to synthesize copper nanoparticles by applying a green synthetic route.     

Polymer Supported Calix[4]arene Schiff Bases: A Novel Chelating Resin for Hg2+ and Dichromate Anions

This article describes the synthesis and characterization of two new calix[4]arene Schiff bases and their polymeric resins. The extraction properties of these “proton switchable extractants” with alkali, transition, post transition metal cations and for dichromate anions are reported. The two new calix[4]arene based Schiff bases (5 and 6) have been synthesized from 5,17‐diformyl‐25,27‐dipropoxy‐26,28‐dihydroxycalix[4]arene (4) by treatment with 3‐amino‐methylpyridine and 1,8‐diaminooctane in two separate reaction flasks following the same procedure. Compounds 5 and 6 have been appended to a polymeric resin by treatment with Merrifield resin through a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The receptor compounds (3 and 5–8) do not extract alkali metal cations, but show some selectivity toward transition metal cations, and a particularly high selectivity to Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺. The protonated forms of all of the calixarene‐based receptors are good extractants for transferring Cr₂O₇ ^2?/HCr₂O₇ ^? anions from an aqueous into a dichloromethane layer.     

Hydrogen-bonded Networks in Crown Ether Complexes of Hydrated Metal Ions

Abstract

The hydrated metal nitrates (M(NO₃)₃.6H₂O, M[dbnd]Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd) have been crystallised from water in the presence of 18-crown-6 and their structures determined by X-ray crystallography. In the case of copper, a pseudo four-coordinate square planar complex resides in an extended six-coordinate octahedral array which is further bound in a single-stranded one-dimensional hydrogen bonded polymeric mode. For M[dbnd]Co,Ni,Zn and Cd isomorphous complexes are isolated where the octahedral [M(H₂O)₅(NO₃)⁺ cation resides in a two-dimensional polymeric network through hydrogen bonds between the water ligands and either the crown ether oxygens or unbound nitrate ions or water molecules.     

Synthesis and spectral studies of nickel(II) complexes derived from disalicylaldehyde oxaloyldihydrazone

The mononuclear nickel(II) complex [Ni(H₂slox)(H₂O)₃] (1) and polymeric dinuclear complexes [Ni₂(slox)(A₄)] {A = H₂O (2), py (3), 2-pic (4), 3-pic (5) and 4-pic (6)} and the discrete binuclear complexes [Ni₂(slox)(NN)₃] {NN = bpy (7) and phen (8)} have been synthesized from disalicylaldehyde oxaloyldihydrazone (H₄slox) in methanol. All of the complexes are nonelectrolytes. Complexes 1, 7, and 8 are paramagnetic while binuclear 2–6 possess anomalously low μ _eff value, indicating considerable metal–metal interaction. Discrete binuclear 7 and 8 have no interaction between the two nickel(II) ions. The anomalously low magnetic moment values in 2–6 are explained as metal–metal interaction via phenoxide bridge. Such metal–metal interactions are less in 7 and 8 due to coordination of bipyridine and phenanthroline molecules which do not allow phenoxide bridging. The dihydrazone coordinates to the metal center as a dibasic tridentate ligand in keto-enol form in staggered configuration in 1, while in the remaining complexes the dihydrazone is tetrabasic hexadentate in enol form in anticis configuration. The metal center has a tetragonally distorted octahedral stereochemistry.

Characterisation and cryomagnetic study of a hydrothermally synthesised hydrogen bonded L–M–L type co-ordination polymer

A ligand–metal–ligand type co-ordination polymer [Ni (C₆H₁₂N₄)(NCS)₂(H₂O)₂] _n has been synthesised under controlled hydrothermal conditions. Here 1,3,5,7-tetraazatricyclo[3.3.1]decane [or hexamethylenetetramine (hmt)] has been used as a μ-(N,N′) bidentate spacer molecule. The prepared polymeric complex has been characterised by elemental and spectral analyses. The structure has been confirmed by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Magneto-structural correlation has been drawn from cryomagnetic susceptibility measurements (2–300 K) which unequivocally reflects very weak magnetic spin interactions among the long distant octahedral Ni(II) metal centres mediated by hmt and weak hydrogen bonding interactions between the adjacent zigzag one-dimensional polymeric chains carrying into a two-dimensional infinite polymeric framework.     

Preparation and Characterization of Novel Asymmetrical Schiff-Base Ligands Derived from 2-methyl-7-formyl-8-hydroxyquinoline and their Metal Complexes

Two novel asymmetrical Schiff-base ligands, H₂L¹ and H₂L², were prepared by reacting two half-unit Schiff-base compounds with 2-methyl-7-formyl-8-hydroxyquinoline. The two half-unit Schiff-base compounds were initially prepared by condensing dimedone with either ethylenediamine or p-phenylenediamine, respectively. Both ligands are dibasic and contain two sets of NO coordinating sites. Twelve metal complexes were obtained by reacting both ligands with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Fe(III), VO(IV) cations. The ligands and their metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, ESR and mass spectra, also magnetic moments of the complexes were determined. Visible spectra of the complexes indicated distorted octahedral geometries around the metal cations. ESR spectra indicated mononuclear and dinuclear structures of the complexes of ligands H₂L¹ and H₂L², respectively. Magnetic moments of the complexes were rather low compared with those expected for octahedral geometries and indicated polymeric linkage of the metal complex molecules within their crystal lattices. The insolubility of the metal complexes in most organic solvents support the polymeric structures.     

Synthesis and characterization of a dipeptide–copper(II)– 2-aminomethylbenzimidazole ternary complex

A new ternary complex [Cu(glygly)(AMBZ)(H₂O)]Cl·H₂O (1) (glygly?=?glycylglycine anion, AMBZ?= 2-aminomethylbenzimidazole) has been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry and ESR, electronic and IR spectroscopy. The copper(II) ion has a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination, being equatorially coordinated by the bidentate 2-aminomethylbenzimidazole and the bidentate glycylglycine anion and axially by a water molecule. The individual complex molecules are hydrogen bonded to their neighbors, forming a polymeric hydrogen-bonded lattice. Spectroscopic data are in accordance with the crystal structure.     

STRUCTURE OF A POLYMERIC BENZENETETRACARBOXYLATO COMPLEX OF Mn(II) WITH IMIDAZOLE

Abstract

A novel polymeric μ-BTC complex of Mn(II) with imidazole has been synthesized, where BTC is the 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylato tetravalent anion, and its crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic spacegroup P2₁/n with a = 11.184(5), b = 9.177(2), c = 18.243(1)Å and β = 107.84(1)°. Each BTC ligand, located around the crystallographic inversion centre, bridges four Mn(II) atoms through four carboxyl groups to form a three dimensional polymeric structure. The carboxyl groups in the ortho-position of BTC bridges Mn(II) atoms related by the crystallographic screw axis to form helical complex chains along the b axis. Coordination around the Mn(II) atom is distorted octahedral; two BTC anions coordinate to Mn(II), one in unidentate fashion and the other as a chelate. The coordination distance of the unidentate ligand is much shorter than in the chelated ligand.     

Nanoparticles and nanocrystals of a new bidentate nickel(II) complex of N-[ethyl(propan-2-yl)carbamothioyl]-4-nitrobenzamide: synthesis,characterization, and crystal structures

The nickel(II) complex of N-[ethyl(propan-2-yl)carbamothioyl]-4-nitrobenzamide has been synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry). The single-crystal X-ray structures of N-[ethyl(propan-2-yl)carbamothioyl]-4-nitrobenzamide (1) and bis[N-[ethyl(propan-2-yl)carbamothioyl]-4-nitrobenzamide]nickel(II) (2) have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Loss of the N–H proton resonance and the N–H stretching vibration and the shift of the ν_C=O and ν_C=S stretching vibrations confirm formation of the metal complex. These studies show that the metal complex is neutral in cis-configuration. The complex has been used as a single-source precursor for the deposition of nickel sulfide nanocrystals by thermolysis. The nickel sulfide nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.     

Polymer complexes. LV. Spectroscopic,thermal studies,and coordination of metal ions N-[3-(5-amino-1,2,4-triazolo)] acrylamide polymer complexes

Novel polymeric complexes with a potentially bidentate ligand formed by amidation of 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole with acryloyl chloride were synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, ¹H-NMR, UV-Vis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductance, and thermal analyses. The molar conductance data reveal that all the polymer complexes are non-electrolytes. Spectral studies reveal that the free ligand coordinates bidentate to the metal ion through the oxygen of the carbonyl and azomethine of the heterocyclic ring. Elemental analyses of the polychelates indicate the metal to ligand ratio of 1?:?1/1?:?2. On the basis of electronic spectral data and magnetic susceptibility measurements, suitable geometry has been proposed for each polymeric complex. The electron spin resonance spectral data of the Cu(II) complex showed that the metal–ligand bonds have considerable covalent character. The thermal behavior of these chelates shows that the polymer complexes lose coordinated water in the first step immediately followed by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in a subsequent step.     

Three new coordination complexes based on 2-methyl-4, 5-imidazoledicarboxylic acid varying from zero- to two-dimensionality

Reaction of 2-methyl-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (H₃MIDC) with different salts (Zn and Mn) has led to three new H _n MIDC–metal complexes varying from zero- to two-dimensional structures under hydrothermal and solvothermal conditions. The complex [Zn(H₂MIDC)₂(H₂O)₂] (1) is a 0-D complex constructed by H₂MIDC^? and Zn centers and the complex [Mn(HMIDC)(H₂O)₂]?·?H₂O (2) is a polymeric 1-D chiral chain constructed by HMIDC^2? and Mn centers connected into a 3-D supramolecular framework with a 1-D channel. The complex [Zn₃(MIDC)₂(H₂O)₂(DMF)₂]?·?0.5H₂O (3) shows a 2-D puckered structure composed of MIDC^3? and Zn. The differences of the three complexes demonstrate that reaction solvent and temperature have important effects on the structure of these complexes. Complex 3 shows strong fluorescence in the solid state at room temperature.     

Architecture of a new selenocyanato bridged one-dimensional polymeric complex of cadmium(II): synthesis,crystal structure and spectroscopic studies

One new one-dimensional polymeric complex [Cd(C₅H₆N₂)₂(SeCN)₂] _n (1) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic studies and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Crystal structure shows the one-dimensional chain is propagated through doubly bridging selenocyanate and 4-aminopyridine acts as terminal ligand. The complex was characterized by fluorescence and NMR spectral studies and the results are consistent with the crystal structure.     

Complex Formation Between Hydroxy Naphthol Blue and First Row Transition Metal Cyanide Complexes

Abstract

It has been found that cyanide complexes of first row transition metal elements exhibit enhanced binding to hydroxy naphthol blue (HNB) relative to the binding of corresponding aquo-ions. HNB forms a 2:1 complex with Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺ cyanides, and 1:1 complexes with all other transition metal cyanide complexes studied; formation constants have been calculated from the spectrophotometric data in each case. It is possible to use HNB as a spectrophotometric reagent for transition metal cyanide complexes, lower limits of detection being determined for each complex.     

New 1,2-dithioether based 2D copper(I) coordination polymer: from synthesis to catalytic application in A3-coupling reaction

Abstract

A new 2D copper(I) coordination polymeric complex has been synthesized from CuI and 1-(1-{4-chlorophenylthio}propan-2-ylthio)-4-chlorobenzene ([(CuI)₂{ArSCH₂CH(CH₃)SAr}₂]_n, Ar = 4-ClC₆H₄) and characterized by high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The complex has been employed as a suitable catalyst for a solvent-free, one-pot, three-component A³-coupling reaction. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, terminal alkynes and aliphatic cyclic secondary amines have been used to prepare a library of propargylamines using the 2D-Cu complex at significantly low concentration (0.2?mol%).     

Synthesis,crystal structure,and characterization of two lanthanide coordination polymers based on isonicotinate ligand

Two new europium complexes [Eu(inic)₃(H₂O)] (1) and [Eu(inic)₃] (2) [inic = isonicotinate] have been structurally determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence, and thermogravimetric analysis. In the two complexes, bifunctional isonicotinate ligands interlink europium metal ions to construct 2-D (for 1) and 3-D (for 2) coordination polymeric networks.
