Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of [Fe(bpe)4(H2O)2](TCNQ)2 (bpe = trans‐1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethane and TCNQ = tetracyanoquinodimethane)

The synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of [Fe(bpe)₄(H₂O)₂](TCNQ)₂ ( 1 ) are reported. 1 crystallizes in the triclinic P space group, a = 13.481(5), b = 14.887(3), c = 16.663(4) Å, α = 101.048(18), β = 112.84(2), γ = 90.92(2)°, V = 3009.6(14) ų, Z = 2. The iron atom defines a compressed octahedron with the equatorial positions occupied by the bpe molecules which act as monodentate ligands and the two axial positions occupied by water molecules. The TCNQ^? radical counterions are uncoordinated and interact by pairs defining (TCNQ)₂^2? units strongly coupled antiferromagnetically. The iron(II) atoms are in the high spin state and its magnetic behaviour indicates the occurrence of zero‐field splitting of the S = 2 ground state.     

A three‐dimensional ZnII coordination framework: poly[[μ2‐(E)‐1,2‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethene][μ4‐(E)‐2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoato][μ2‐(E)‐2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoato]dizinc(II)]

In the title coordination polymer, [Zn₂(C₁₄H₈N₂O₄)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)]_n, the asymmetric unit contains one Zn^II cation, two halves of 2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoate anions (denoted L²⁻) and half of a 1,2‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethene ligand (denoted bpe). The three ligands lie across crystallographic inversion centres. Each Zn^II centre is four‐coordinated by three O atoms of bridging carboxylate groups from three L²⁻ ligands and by one N atom from a bpe ligand, forming a tetrahedral coordination geometry. Two Zn^II atoms are bridged by two carboxylate groups of L²⁻ ligands, generating a [Zn₂(CO₂)₂] ring. Each loop serves as a fourfold node, which links its four equivalent nodes via the sharing of four L²⁻ ligands to form a two‐dimensional [Zn₂L₄]_n net. These nets are separated by bpe ligands acting as spacers, producing a three‐dimensional framework with a 4⁶6⁴ topology. Powder X‐ray diffraction and solid‐state photoluminescence were also measured.

Their molecular structures and the packing of 1 have been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The Cu(n) in 1 is bridged by two ligands forming an infinite one‐dimensional chain like structure and L in 1 adopts a different conformation from its free state. 1 belongs to monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 1.2896(3) nm, b = 1.2552(8) nm, c = 2.2903(19) nm, β = 93.04(5)°, Z = 4, V = 3.702(4) nm³. The TG and DTG experiments showed that the uncoordinated H₂O can be removed at low temperature by heating, and it does not decompose until 250 °C.

Mono‐ and Dimethyl‐1,2,4‐Triazolate as Ligands for the Mercuric Ion in the Cationic Three‐dimensional Coordination Polymer of [Hg2(Mmt)(Dmt)2](NO3)(H2O)

Colourless crystals of [Hg₂(Mmt)(Dmt)₂](NO₃)(H₂O) were obtained from a reaction of mercuric nitrate with monomethyl‐ and dimethyl‐1,2,4‐triazolate (Mmt^? and Dmt^?, respectively). In the crystal structure (monoclinic, C2/c (no. 15), a = 2579.4(4), b = 1231.1(2), c = 1634.8(2) pm, β = 128.32(1)°, V = 4073.3(11)·10⁶·pm³, Z = 8, R₁ [I₀ > 2σ(I₀)]: 0.0355), half of the mercuric ions are essentially two‐coordinate (Hg–N: 210‐215 pm), the other half are tetrahedrally surrounded by N‐donor atoms (Hg–N: 221, 225 pm) of the Mmt^? and Dmt^? anions. These three‐N ligands construct a three‐dimensional framework.     

Sonochemical Synthesis of a Novel Nanoscale Lead(II) Coordination Polymer: Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Thermal Properties,and DFT Calculations of [Pb(dmp)(μ‐N3)(μ‐NO3)]n with the Novel Pb2(μ‐N3)2(μ‐NO3)2 Unit

A new nanostructured coordination polymer of divalent lead with the ligand 2,9‐dimethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline (dmp), [Pb(dmp)(μ‐N₃)(μ‐NO₃)]_n ( 1 ), was synthesized by sonochemical methods. The polymer was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. Compound 1 was structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The single‐crystal analysis shows that the coordination number of Pb^II ions is seven, (PbN₄O₃) has a “stereo‐chemically active” electron lone pair, and the coordination sphere is hemidirected. The chains interact with each other through π–π stacking interactions to create a 3D framework. The structure of the title complex was optimized by density functional calculations. The calculated structural parameters and the IR spectrum of the title complex are in agreement with the crystal structure.     

Synthesis and properties of ortho‐linked aromatic polyimides based on 1,2‐bis(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4‐tert‐butylbenzene

A bis(ether amine) containing the ortho‐substituted phenylene unit and pendant tert‐butyl group, 1,2‐bis(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4‐tert‐butylbenzene, was synthesized and used as a monomer to prepare polyimides with six commercial dianhydrides via a conventional two‐stage procedure. The intermediate poly(amic acid)s had inherent viscosities of 0.78–1.44 dL/g, and most of them could be thermally converted into transparent, flexible, and tough polyimide films. The inherent viscosities of the resulting polyimides were in the range of 0.46–0.87 dL/g. All polyimides were noncrystalline, and most of them showed excellent solubility in polar organic solvents. The glass‐transition temperatures of these polyimides were in the range of 222–259 °C in differential scanning calorimetry and 212–282 °C in thermomechanicl analysis. These polyimides showed no appreciable decomposition up to 500 °C in thermogravimetric analysis in air or nitrogen. A comparative study of the properties with the corresponding polyimides without pendant tert‐butyl groups derived from 1,2‐bis(4‐aminophenoxy)benzene is also presented. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Complex 3 has a 2D network constructed by the cadmium atoms bridged through the ligands tda and L. Their X‐ray powder diffraction patterns were compared with the simulated ones. Moreover, their luminescent properties were investigated in the solid state at room temperature, and the thermogravimetric analyses were carried out to study the thermal stability of the 3D networks.

Two coordination polymers, [Co(phen)(oba)(H₂O)₂] ( 1 ) and [Cd₃(phen)₃(oba)₂(Hoba)₂(H₂O)₂] ( 2 ) (oba = 4, 4′‐oxybis(benzoate), phen = 1, 10‐phenanthroline) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 7.543(6), b = 33.05(2), c = 9.902(5)Å, β = 103.69(2)°, V = 2398(3)ų, Z = 4; 2 in monoclinic, P2/n, a = 15.11(1), b = 10.069(8), c = 28.02(2)Å, β = 101.83(1)°, V = 4174(5)ų, Z = 2. X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction investigations shows that the complexes 1 and 2 consist of helical chains, which are further assembled into layers and networks via supramolecular interactions such as π—π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds, respectively. The results indicate that the coordination environment is one of the most important factors for assembly of single‐stranded helical chains into double‐stranded helical chains via supramolecular interactions.

Copper(I) Coordination Polymers with Alkanedithiol and ‐dinitrile Bridging Ligands

CuI‐based coordination polymers with 1, 2‐ethanedithiol, 3, 6‐dioxa‐1, 8‐octanedithiol and 3‐oxa‐1, 5‐pentanedinitrile as respectively μ‐S, S′ and μ‐N, N′ bridging ligands have been prepared by reaction of CuI with the appropriate alkane derivative in acetonitrile. equation/tex2gif-stack-1.gif[Cu(HSCH₂CH₂SH)₂]I ( 1 ) contains 4⁴ cationic nets, equation/tex2gif-stack-2.gif[(CuI)₂(HSCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂SH)] ( 2 ) neutral layers in which stairlike CuI double chains are linked by dithiol spacers. In contrast to these 2D polymers, equation/tex2gif-stack-3.gif[CuI(NCCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂CN)] ( 3 ) and equation/tex2gif-stack-4.gif[(CuI)₄(NCCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂CN)₂] ( 4 ) both contain infinite chains with respectively (CuI)₂ rings and distorted (CuI)₄ cubes as building units. Solvothermal reaction of CuI with the thiacrown ether 1, 4, 10‐trithia‐15‐crown‐5 (1, 4, 10TT15C5) in acetonitrile affords the lamellar coordination polymer equation/tex2gif-stack-5.gif[(CuI)₃(1, 4, 10TT15C5)] ( 7 ) in which copper atoms of individual CuI double chains are bridged in a μ‐S1, S4 manner. The third sulphur atom S10 of the thiacrown ether coordinates a copper(I) atom from a parallel chain to generate a 2D network.     

1,2‐Bis(trifluoromethyl)ethene‐1,2‐dicarbonitrile: Enol Ethers and Ketene Acetals as Cycloaddition Partners

(E)‐ and (Z)‐1,2‐bis(trifluoromethyl)ethene‐1,2‐dicarbonitrile ((E)‐ and (Z)‐BTE, resp., =(E)‐ and (Z)‐2,3‐bis(trifluoromethyl)but‐2‐enedinitrile) were used as a stereochemical probe in studying (2+2) cycloadditions of acceptor with donor alkenes. The additions to methyl (E)‐ and (Z)‐propenyl ether gave rise to the eight conceivable cyclobutanes 8 , although in different ratios in reactions of (E)‐ and (Z)‐BTE. The ¹⁹F‐NMR data served the structural assignment and the quantitative analysis. The mechanistic discussion is based on rotations and ring closures of the assumed 1,4‐zwitterionic intermediates. Dimethylketene dimethyl acetal, methylketene dimethyl acetal, and ketene diethyl acetal show an increasing rate in their reactions with BTE as well as in the equilibration of the cycloadducts.     

A One‐Dimensional Thallium(I) Coordination Polymer Involving Polyhapto‐Aromatic Interactions

A one‐dimensional coordination polymer involving Tl ??? C interactions, [Tl(μ₄‐dpa)]_n(Hdpa = diphenylacetic acid), was synthesized and characterized. The single‐crystal X‐ray data of the compound show that the coordination number of the Tl^I ions is five and that Tl centers have an irregular coordination sphere containing a ‘configurationally active’ lone pair/hexahapto (η⁶) interaction, thus resulting in a total hapticity of eleven for a TlC₆O₅ environment.

Nanostructures of a new coordination polymer of divalent lead with the ligand 2, 9‐dimethyl‐1, 10‐phenanthroline (dmp) containing the first Pb₂‐(μ‐ClO₄)₂ motif, [Pb₂(dmp)₂(μ‐N₃)₂(μ‐ClO₄)₂]_n ( 1 ), was synthesized by a sonochemical method that produces the coordination polymers at nano size. The new nanostructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Compound 1 was structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and the single‐crystal X‐ray data shows that the coordination number of Pb^II ions is six, (PbN₄O₂), with two N‐donor atoms from aza‐aromatic base ligands and four O‐donors from two perchlorate anions and two N‐donors from two azide anions. It has a “stereo‐chemically active” electron lone pair, and the coordination sphere is hemidirected. The supramolecular features in these complexes are guided and controlled by weak directional intermolecular interactions. The chains interact with each other through π–π stacking interactions creating a 3D framework. The structure of the title complex was optimized by density functional theory calculations. Calculated structural parameters and IR spectra for the title complex are in agreement with the crystal structure. The PbO nanoparticles were obtained by thermolysis of 1 at 180 °C with oleic acid as a surfactant. The average diameter of the nanoparticles was estimated by the Scherrer equation to be 23 nm. The morphology and size of the prepared PbO samples were further observed using SEM.
