Reversible guest exchange and ferrimagnetism (T(C) = 60.5 K) in a porous cobalt(II)-hydroxide layer structure pillared with trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate

The synthesis, characterization, and reversible guest-exchange chemistry of a new porous magnetic material that orders ferrimagnetically at 60.5 K are described. The material, Co(5)(OH)(8)(chdc).4H(2)O (chdc = trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate), contains tetrahedral-octahedral-tetrahedral Co(II)-hydroxide layers of composition Co((oct))(3)Co((tet))(2)(OH)(8) that are linked together by bis(unidentate) chdc pillars. Noncoordinated water molecules occupy 1-D channels situated between the chdc pillars. The material remains monocrystalline during dehydration from Co(5)(OH)(8)(chdc).4H(2)O (CDCC.4H(2)O) to Co(5)(OH)(8)(chdc) (CDCC) via an intermediate Co(5)(OH)(8)(chdc).2H(2)O (CDCC.2H(2)O) upon heating or evacuation. In-situ single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that the interlayer spacing decreases in two steps, each corresponding to the loss of two water molecules per formula unit as determined by thermogravimetry. The single crystal structure of the fully dehydrated material, CDCC, has no void volume due to a tilting of the pillars and 9% decrease of the interlayer spacing with water removal. Exposure of CDCC to air causes rapid rehydration of this material to CDCC.4H(2)O, as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, and vibrational spectroscopy. Both the hydrated and dehydrated forms order magnetically below 60.5 K. The susceptibility data are consistent with ferrimagnetic behavior, and the value of the saturation magnetization at 2 K (ca. 2 micro(B)) is explained by a model of two sublattices, one comprising three octahedral cobalt atoms and another comprising two tetrahedral cobalt atoms. There is an enhanced 2-D correlation within the layer at temperatures just above the Curie temperature, as seen by nonlinearity in the ac susceptibility data and remanence in the isothermal magnetization. The crossover from 2-D to 3-D ordering occurs at T(C). The large anisotropy in the magnetization data on a single crystal suggests either a 2-D Ising or an XY magnet while the critical exponent of 0.25 is in favor of the latter. Both magnetization data in a small field in the ac and dc mode and isothermal magnetization data provide evidence of a further change in behavior at 23 K, which may originate from a reorientation of the moments within the layer. Variation of the pillar and of the guest-exchange chemistry, including the exchange of magnetic guests such as O(2), offers the possibility of tailoring the magnetic properties of this material.     

Nuclear and magnetic structures and magnetic properties of the layered cobalt hydroxysulfate Co5(OH)6(SO4)2(H2O)4 and its deuterated analogue, Co5(OD)6(SO4)2(D2O)4

The structures (nuclear and magnetic), magnetic properties (2-300 K, 1-10(4) bar), and heat capacity of the layered ferromagnet Co5(OH)6(SO4)2(H2O)4 are reported. The crystal structure consists of brucite-like M(II)-OH layers of edge-sharing octahedra, but having two different Co sites, which are pillared by ...O3SO-Co(H2O)4-OSO3.... The absorption spectrum confirms the presence of divalent Co, and by comparison of the two isotopic materials, the assignment of the vibrational spectra is proposed. The magnetic properties are those of a ferromagnet with a Curie temperature of 14 K. Temperature and field dependence magnetization data taken on an aligned sample suggest an easy-plane magnet. The Curie temperature increases linearly with pressure at a rate of +0.12 K/kbar, suggesting small progressive and uniform modifications of the Co-Co exchange interactions. Rietveld refinement of the neutron powder diffraction data and consideration of a group analysis reveal the direction of the moments of the Co within the layer to be along the b-axis, with a maximum moment of 3.33 micro(B) per cobalt. Those of the pillars remain random. Estimation of the entropy from the heat capacity data accounts for the presence of four ordered moments of Co with spin 1/2 at the long-range ordering temperature, while the moment of the pillaring Co contributes only at lower temperature due to the increase of the internal field as the temperature is lowered. The purely 2D-magnetic ordering in an easy-plane magnet, evidenced by neutron diffraction and heat capacity, challenges the existing theories and is a rare example of a single-layer magnet.     

Co(II)5(OH)6(SO4)2(H2O)4: the first ferromagnet based on a layered cobalt-hydroxide pillared by inorganic...OSO3-Co(H2O)4-O3SO..

The synthetic mineral Co(II)5(OH)6(SO4)2(H2O)4 (1), obtained by hydrothermal reaction of CoSO4.7H2O and NaOH at 165 degrees C and consisting of brucite-like Co4(OH)6O2 layers pillared by OSO3-Co(H2O)4-O3SO, is a ferromagnet (T(Curie)= 12 K, Hc= 580 Oe).     

Synthesis and exfoliation of Co2+-Fe3+ layered double hydroxides: an innovative topochemical approach

This paper describes a topochemical synthetic approach to Co2+-Fe3+ layered double hydroxides (LDHs). Micrometer-sized hexagonal platelets of brucite-like Co2/3Fe1/3(OH)2 were first prepared by a homogeneous precipitation of an aqueous solution of divalent cobalt and ferrous ions through hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) hydrolysis under a nitrogen gas atmosphere. A subsequent oxidative intercalation process, by the action of iodine (I2) in chloroform (CHCl3), transformed the precursory brucite-like Co2+-Fe2+ hydroxides into hydrotalcite-like Co2+-Fe3+ LDHs, in which the oxidization of Fe2+ into Fe3+ induced positive charges to the octahedral hydroxyl layers while anions (I-) were intercalated into the interlayer space. Co2+-Fe3+ LDHs inherited the high crystallinity and hexagonal platelet morphology from their brucite-like precursor due to the topotactic nature of the transformation, which was verified by abundant microscopic and spectroscopic characterizations. After a normal ion-exchange process, Co2+-Fe3+ LDHs accommodating perchlorate anions were exfoliated into unilamellar nanosheets in formamide by an ultrasonic treatment.     

The intercalation of metalloporphyrin complex anions into layered double hydroxides

Investigations to elucidate the structures of the cobalt(III) and manganese(III) complexes of tetra(p-sulfonatophenyl)porphinate anions (M(III)TSPP; M = Co and Mn), intercalated in Mg-Fe/Cl and Mg-Al/Cl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been carried out. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis, IR and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of Co(III)TSPP and Mn(III)TSPP intercalated into the interlayer spaces of LDH resulted in their perpendicular alignment against the host layers in the plane of the hybrid.     

Dinuclear Co(III)/Co(III) and Co(II)/Co(III) mixed-valent complexes: synthetic control of the cobalt oxidation level

The reactivity of cobalt(II) salts towards H(3)L (2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-bis[4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-azabut-3-enyl]-1,3-imidazolidine) was studied in different reaction conditions. Accordingly, the interaction of cobalt(II) acetate with H(3)L in methanol gives rise to the discrete complex [Co(III)(2)L(OAc)(2)(OMe)]*1.5H(2)O.MeOH, 1. Reaction of cobalt(II) acetylacetonate with H(3)L in the presence of dicarboxylic acids was also investigated. Thus, when cobalt(II) acetylacetonate and H(3)L are mixed with terephthalic or malonic acid in 4 : 2 : 1 molar ratios, the mixed valent [Co(II/III)(2)L(acac)(p-O(2)CC(6)H(4)CO(2)H)][Co(II/III)(2)L(acac)(OH)]*2H(2)O*2MeOH, 2 and [Co(II/III)(2)L(acac)(O(2)CCH(2)CO(2)H)][Co(II/III)(2)L(acac)(OH)]*7H(2)O, complexes are isolated. Decreasing the pH of the medium, by addition of a second mol of dicarboxylic acid, leads to [Co(II/III)(2)L(O(2)CCH(2)CO(2))(MeOH)]*2MeOH, 4, while the reaction with terephthalic acid does not proceed. 1, 2 and 4 were crystallographically characterised and all the complexes are dinuclear, with hydrogen bonds that expand the initial nodes. The magnetic characterisation, as well as the NMR spectroscopy, indicates a diamagnetic nature for 1, in agreement with the presence of Co(III), showing the aerial oxidation suffered by the cobalt(II) ions. Nevertheless, are paramagnetic. Temperature variable magnetic measurements were recorded for the crystallographically characterised complexes 2 and 4 and these studies confirm the mixed valence Co(II)/Co(III) nature of the compounds. The best fits of the magnetic data give an axial distortion parameter Delta = 628.7 cm(-1) for 2 and 698.8 cm(-1) for 4, and spin-orbit coupling constant lambda = -117.8 cm(-1) for 2 and -107.0 cm(-1) for 4. Therefore, this study shows that the oxidation degree of the initial cobalt(ii) salt by atmospheric oxygen can be controlled according to the pH of the medium.

New insights into the intercalation chemistry of Al(OH)3

This paper reports a number of recent developments in the intercalation chemistry of Al(OH)(3). From Rietveld refinement and solid-state NMR, it has been possible to develop a structural model for the recently reported [M(II)Al(4)(OH)(12)](NO(3))(2)·yH(2)O family of layered double hydroxides (LDHs). The M(2+) cations occupy half of the octahedral holes in the Al(OH)(3) layers, and it is thought that there is complete ordering of the metal ions while the interlayer nitrate anions are highly disordered. Filling the remainder of the octahedral holes in the layers proved impossible. While the intercalation of Li salts into Al(OH)(3) is facile, it was found that the intercalation of M(II) salts is much more capricious. Only with Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn nitrates and Zn sulfate were phase-pure LDHs produced. In other cases, there is either no reaction or a phase believed to be an LDH forms concomitantly with impurity phases. Reacting Al(OH)(3) with mixtures of M(II) salts can lead to the production of three-metal M(II)-M(II)'-Al LDHs, but it is necessary to control precisely the starting ratios of the two M(II) salts in the reaction gel because Al(OH)(3) displays selective intercalation of M nitrate (Li > Ni > Co ≈ Zn). The three-metal M(II)-M(II)'-Al LDHs exhibit facile ion exchange intercalation, which has been investigated in the first energy dispersive X-ray diffraction study of a chemical reaction system performed on Beamline I12 of the Diamond Light Source.     

A family of new glutarate compounds: synthesis, crystal structures of: Co(H2O)5L(1), Na2[CoL2] (2), Na2[L(H2L)4/2] (3), {[Co3(H2O)6L2](HL)2}.4H2O (4), {[Co3(H2O)6L2](HL)2}.10H2O (5), {[Co3(H2O)6L2]L2/2}.4H2O (6), and Na2{[Co3(H2O)2]L8/2].6H2O (7), and magnetic properties of 1 and 2 with H2L = HOOC-(CH2)3-COOH

Seven new glutaric acid complexes, Co(H 2O) 5L 1, Na 2[CoL 2] 2, Na 2[L(H 2L) 4/2] 3, {[Co 3(H 2O) 6L 2](HL) 2}.4H 2O 4, {[Co 3(H 2O) 6L 2](HL) 2}.10H 2O 5, {[Co 3(H 2O) 6L 2]L 2/2}.4H 2O 6, and Na 2{[Co 3(H 2O) 2]L 8/2].6H 2O 7 were obtained and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods along with elemental analyses, IR spectroscopic and magnetic measurements (for 1 and 2). The [Co(H 2O) 5L] complex molecules in 1 are assembled into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture based on intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Compound 2 consists of the Na (+) cations and the necklace-like glutarato doubly bridged [ C o L 4 / 2 ] 2 - infinity 1 anionic chains, and 3 is composed of the Na (+) cations and the anionic hydrogen bonded ladder-like [ L ( H 2 L ) 4 / 2 ] 2 - infinity 1 anionic chains. The trinuclear {[Co 3(H 2O) 6L 2](HL) 2} complex molecules with edge-shared linear trioctahedral [Co 3(H 2O) 6L 2] (2+) cluster cores in 4 and 5 are hydrogen bonded into two-dimensional (2D) networks. The edge-shared linear trioctahedral [Co 3(H 2O) 6L 2] (2+) cluster cores in 6 are bridged by glutarato ligands to generate one-dimensional (1D) chains, which are then assembled via interchain hydrogen bonds into 2D supramolecular networks. The corner-shared linear [Co 3O 16] trioctahedra in 7 are quaternate bridged by glutarato ligands to form 1D band-like anionic {[Co 3(H 2O) 2]L 8/2} (2+) chains, which are assembled via interchain hydrogen bonds into 2D layers, and between them are sandwiched the Na (+) cations. The magnetic behaviors of 1 and 2 obey the Curie-Weiss law with chi m = C/( T - Theta) with the Curie constant C = 3.012(8) cm (3) x mol (-1) x K and the Weiss constant Theta = -9.4(7) K for 1, as well as C = 2.40(1) cm (3) x mol (-1) x K and Theta = -2.10(5) K for 2, indicating weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the Co(II) ions.     

Structure and magnetism of a new hydrogen-bonded layered cobalt(II) network, constructed by the unprecedented carboxylate-phosphinate ligand [O2(C6H5)PCH2CO2]2-

By hydrothermal reaction of CoCl2 x 6H2O with K2pcc (H2pcc = phenyl(carboxymethyl) phosphinic acid) at 423 K, a novel hybrid material of formula [Co2(pcc)2 (H2O)2] x H2O has been obtained. The compound, which is the first pcc/metal complex reported, exhibits a polymeric arrangement, where cobalt metal ions, linked together by bridging carboxylate and phosphinate oxygens, form infinite chains of edge-shared CoO6 octahedra. The cobalt chains are in turn linked together through important hydrogen-bonding interactions, which create an infinite 2D architecture. The two crystallographically independent cobalt centers, both displaying distorted octahedral coordination, present different environments as one is surrounded by six ligand oxygens and the other by four ligand oxygens and by two water oxygens. Careful magnetic studies performed by a home-built alternating current susceptometer reveal that the system undergoes an antiferromagnetic transition below 2.0 K leading to a canted structure. Field-dependent studies further indicate the occurrence of a metamagnetic transition at a critical field of 650 +/- 50 G.     

Synthesis, structure and magnetic study of a novel mixed-valent Co(II)10Co(III)4 shield constructed by mixed pyridine-alcoholate ligands

A novel tetradecanuclear mixed-valent cobalt cluster, formulated as [Co(II)(10)Co(III)(4)(OH)(2)O(6)(hmp)(10)(pdm)(4)(CH(3)OH)(2)]·5H(2)O (1), was obtained using mixed ligands of 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (hmpH) and 2,6-pyridinedimethanol (pdmH(2)). The cobalt ions in 1 are connected by ten chelating hmp(-) ligands, four tris-chelating pdm(2-) ligands and six μ(3)-oxide/hydroxide anions, forming a unique shield-like planar structure that is rarely observed for Co-based clusters. Compound 1 displays slight frequency dependence at static zero field below 4.5 K, suggesting that it might be a single molecule magnet (SMM).     

己二酸柱撑水滑石的制备及表征

Cobalt-containing silicotungstate sandwich dimer [{Co3(B-beta-SiW9O33(OH))(B-beta-SiW8O29(OH)2)}2]22-

The 6-cobalt-substituted [{Co3(B-beta-SiW9O33(OH))(B-beta-SiW8O29(OH)2)}2]22- has been characterized by IR and UV-vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, magnetic studies, electrochemistry, and gel filtration chromatography. A single-crystal X-ray analysis was carried out on K10Na12[{Co3(B-beta-SiW9O33(OH))(B-beta-SiW8O29(OH)2)}2].49H2O (KNa-1), which crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, with a=19.9466(8) A, b=24.6607(10) A, c=34.0978(13) A, beta=102.175(1) degrees, and Z=2. Polyanion 1 represents a novel class of asymmetric sandwich-type polyanions. It contains three cobalt ions, which are encapsulated between an unprecedented (B-beta-SiW9O34) fragment and a (B-beta-SiW8O31) unit. Polyanion 1 is composed of two sandwich species via two Co-O-W bridges in the solid state and almost certainly in solution as well based on gel filtration chromatography. UV-visible spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry also confirmed its stability. Two well-separated groups of waves appeared in the voltammetric pattern: the wave observed in the negative potential range versus a saturated calomel electrode features the redox processes of WVI centers; the two reversible redox couples observed in the positive potential domain are attributed to the redox processes of Co2+ centers and indicated that the two types of Co2+ centers in the structure are oxidized in separate waves. Such reversibility of Co2+ centers within multi-Co-substituted polyoxometalates is uncommon. The magnetic properties of KNa-1 are also discussed. The ferromagnetic ground state has been studied by magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements and fitted according to an anisotropic exchange model.     

Photoinduced ferrimagnetic systems in Prussian blue analogues C(I)xCo4[Fe(CN)6]y (C(I) = alkali cation). 4. Characterization of the ferrimagnetism of the photoinduced metastable state in Rb1.8Co4[Fe(CN)6]3.3-13H2O by K edges X-ray magnetic circular dichroism.

In Part 2 of this work, the electronic and local structure of the photoinduced metastable magnetic state of the Prussian blue analogue Rb1.8Co4[Fe(CN)6]3.3-13H2O were characterized. To determine directly the relative orientation of the magnetic moments of Co(II) and Fe(III) ions in the metastable state, and the nature of the exchange interaction between them, we performed X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) experiments at the cobalt and iron K edges. We present the first direct experimental evidence of the antiferromagnetic interaction between the cobalt and the iron ions, leading to the ferrimagnetism of the photoinduced metastable state.     

Novel example of a chain structure formed by 1,4-dioxane and cobalt(II) links. Chain [Co3(mu-OOCCF3)4(mu-H2O)2(OOCCF3)2(H2O)2(C4H8O2)].2C4H8O2

The trimer [Co3(mu-OOCCF3)4(mu-H2O)2(OOCCF3)2(H2O)2(C4H8O2)].2C4H8O2. (1) is composed of three tetragonally distorted Co(II) centers bridged by four trifluoroacetates and two bridging water molecules. 1,4-Dioxane is coordinated at a distance of 2.120(3) A from the terminal cobalt Co2; the remaining oxygen of this 1,4-dioxane links the terminal cobalt to a neighbor trimer, forming a one-dimensional chain. The crystal structure displays a network of hydrogen bonds between four noncoordinated 1,4-dioxane molecules and the coordinated terminal water molecules. The magnetic properties of 1 were analyzed with the use of the Hamiltonian including isotropic exchange interactions between real spins of a high-spin Co(II), spin-orbit coupling and a low-symmetry crystal field acting within the (4)T(1g) ground manifold of each cobalt ion. A weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between cobalt ions in 1 was found. The results of the magnetic model are in good agreement with the experimental observations.     

Octanuclear zinc(II) and cobalt(II) clusters produced by cooperative tetrameric assembling of oxime chelate ligands

We have synthesized an octanuclear zinc(II) cluster [L4Zn8(H2O)3] by the complexation of 3-hydroxysalamo (H4L) with zinc(II) acetate. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P, with unit cell parameters a = 18.233(10) A, b = 20.518(11) A, c = 21.366(11) A, alpha = 98.7557(2) degrees, beta = 99.191(11) degrees, gamma = 108.309(10) degrees, and Z = 4. The crystallographic analysis revealed the S4 symmetrical assembling of four ligands and that the tetrameric complex has three water molecules in an unsymmetrical fashion. Spectroscopic analysis of the complex strongly suggests that the octanuclear cluster also exists in solution and maintains a conformation similar to that in the crystal structure, although exchange of the coordinating water molecules presumably takes place. In addition, the formation process of the octanuclear complex is highly cooperative. A high coordinating ability of the [(salamo)Zn] unit as well as the catecholato2- moieties probably stabilizes the octanuclear assembly and makes the complexation process cooperative. The corresponding octanuclear cobalt(II) cluster [L4Co8(EtOH)3] was prepared in a similar manner. Complex [L4Co8(H2O)2X] (X = H2O or EtOH) was obtained by the recrystallization from chloroform/hexane. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P, with unit cell parameters a = 15.2359(10) A, b = 16.9625(12) A, c = 18.9325(13) A, alpha = 101.9710(10) degrees, beta = 105.5410(10) degrees, gamma = 97.1290(10) degrees, and Z = 2. Temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility showed a continuous decrease in the chi(M)T value with decreasing temperature, suggesting antiferromagnetic interaction among cobalt(II) ions. The magnetic susceptibility above 40 K obeys the Curie-Weiss law with a Weiss constant theta of -39 K and a Curie constant C of 19.7 cm(3) K mol(-1).     

Crystal and magnetic structures and magnetic properties of selenate containing natrochalcite, A(I)M(II)2(H3O2)(SeO4)2 where A = Na or K and M = Mn, Co, or Ni

The synthesis of a series of selenate containing natrochalcite, A(I)M(II)(2)(H(3)O(2))(SeO(4))(2) where A = Na or K and M = Mn, Co, or Ni (here labeled as AMH and AMD for the hydrogenated and deuterated compounds, respectively), the X-ray crystal structure determinations from single crystals (Ni) and powder (Mn), magnetic properties, and magnetic structures of the cobalt analogues are reported. The nuclear crystal structures for NaNiH, KNiH, and KMnH are similar to those reported for the cobalt analogues (NaCoH and KCoH) and consist of chains of edge-sharing octahedra (MO(6)) which are connected by H(3)O(2) and SeO(4) to form layers which are in turn bridged by the alkali, in an octahedral coordination site, to form the 3D-framework. The magnetic properties are characterized by antiferromagnetic interaction at high temperatures and antiferromagnetic ordering at low temperatures (NaCoH, 3.5 K; KCoH, 5.9 K; KNiH, 8.5 K; and KMnH, 16 K), except for KNi(2)(H(3)O(2))(SeO(4))(2) which displays a weak ferromagnetic interaction and no long-range ordering above 2 K. The neutron magnetic structures of the cobalt analogues, studied as a function of temperature, are different for the two cobalt salts and also different from all the known magnetic structures of the natrochalcite family. Whereas the magnetic structure of NaCoD has a k = (0, 0, 0), that of KCoD has one consisting of a doubled nuclear cell, k = (0, 0, 1/2). Both compounds have four magnetic sublattices related to the four cobalt atoms of the nuclear unit cell. In NaCoD the moments are in the bc-plane, M(y) = 2.51(2) μ(B) and M(z) = 1.29(4) μ(B), with the major component along the cobalt chain and the resultant moment, 2.83(3) μ(B), making an angle of 27° with the b-axis. The sum of the moments within the cell is zero. For KCoD the moment at each cobalt site has a component along each crystallographic axis, M(x) = 2.40(3), M(y) = 1.03(3), M(z) = 1.59(8) giving a total M = 2.49(3) μ(B). Within one nuclear cell the moments are fully compensated. The moments corresponding to the cobalt atoms of the second nuclear cell comprising the magnetic unit cell are oriented in opposite directions.     

Co(OH)2/Ni(OH)2复合电极材料制备及其超级电容性质

以Co(NO_3)_2·6H_2O和Ni(NO_3)_2·6H_2O为钴源和镍源,采用溶剂热法一步合成了Co(OH)_2/Ni(OH)_2复合材料,通过煅烧该复合材料可得到NiCo_2O_4。采用XRD、SEM、BET等对材料进行了表征,结果表明,Co(OH)_2/Ni(OH)_2复合材料是薄片组成的花状形貌,比表面积为37. 48m~2/g。电化学性能测试表明,Co(OH)_2/Ni(OH)_2复合材料比NiCo_2O_4具有更高的比电容值和容量保持率。在0. 5A/g的电流密度下,复合材料比电容值可达到1097. 8F/g,而NiCo_2O_4比电容值仅为86. 1F/g。因此,与煅烧后的NiCo_2O_4材料相比,Co(OH)_2/Ni(OH)_2复合材料具有更加优良的电化学性能,这为高性能超级电容器材料的制备提供了一个新思路。
