Here all Cu(Ⅱ) ions are six-coordinated with distorted octahedral configuration.     

Silver-carbon cluster AgC3: structure and infrared frequencies

Silver-carbon clusters were formed by dual Nd:YAG laser vaporization, trapped in a solid Ar matrix at 12 K, and investigated by infrared spectroscopy. Two new infrared absorption bands were observed at 1827.8 and 1231.6 cm(-1). Isotopic ((13)C) substitution experiments were performed to aid in their assignment. Possible structures considered for the carrier of these bands were Ag(m)C(n) with m = 1 and 2 and n = 1-3, all of which were investigated by density functional theory calculations. The geometries and associated vibrational harmonic-mode frequencies of these clusters were computed with the MPW1PW91 functional and SDD basis set. Both calculations and (13)C-isotopic substitution experiments indicate that the new bands are due to the asymmetric and symmetric C=C stretching modes, respectively, in near-linear AgC3.     

Photodissociation of noble metal-doped carbon clusters

Noble metal carbide cluster cations (MC(n)(+), M = Cu, Au) are produced by laser vaporization in a pulsed molecular beam and detected with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Copper favors the formation of carbides with an odd number of carbon atoms, while gold shows marked drops in ion intensity after clusters with 3, 6, 9, and 12 carbons. These clusters are mass selected and photodissociated at 355 nm. Copper carbides with an odd number of carbons fragment by eliminating the metal from the cluster; for the small species it is eliminated as Cu(+) and for the larger species it is lost as neutral Cu. Copper carbides with an even number of carbons also lose the metal, but in addition to this they eliminate neutral C(3). This even-odd alternation, with the even clusters having mixed fragments, holds true for clusters as large as CuC(30)(+). No loss of C(2) is observed for even the largest clusters studied, indicating that fullerene formation does not occur. The gold carbide photodissociation data closely parallel that of copper, with even clusters losing primarily C(3) and odd ones losing gold. Comparisons to known carbon cluster ionization potentials give some insight into the structures of carbon photofragments. DFT calculations performed on CuC(3-11)(+) allow comparisons of the energetics of isomers likely present in our experiment, and metal-carbon dissociation energies help explain the even-odd alternation in the fragmentation channels. The simplest picture of these metal-doped carbides consistent with all the data is that the small species have linear chain structures with the metal attached at the end, whereas the larger species have cyclic structures with the metal attached externally to a single carbon.     

Probing the electronic and structural properties of doped aluminum clusters: MAl12- (M=Li, Cu, and Au)

Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is combined with theoretical calculations to investigate the electronic and atomic structures of three doped aluminum clusters, MAl12- (M=Li, Cu, and Au). Well-resolved PES spectra have been obtained at two detachment photon energies, 266 nm (4.661 eV) and 193 nm (6.424 eV). Basin-hopping global optimization method in combination with density-functional theory calculations has been used for the structural searches. Good agreement between the measured PES spectra and theoretical simulations helps to identify the global minimum structures. It is found that LiAl12- (C(5nu)) can be viewed as replacing a surface Al atom by Li on an icosahedral Al13-, whereas Cu prefers the central site to form the encapsulated D3d-Cu@Al12-. For AuAl12- (C1), Au also prefers the central site, but severely distorts the Al12 cage due to its large size.     

Novel examples of high-dimensional mixed-valence copper cyanide complexes

The first examples of high-dimensional mixed-valence homometallic cyano-bridged copper complexes were synthesized and characterized: net-structured [Cu(CN)(4){Cu(cyclam)}(1.5)](2)(n)()(H(2)O)(5)(n) (1), ladder-type double-chain-structured [Cu(CN)(2){Cu(CN)(2)Cu(cyclam)}](n)()(H(2)O)(n) (2), layer-structured [{Cu(CN)(2)}(2)Cu(cycalm)](n) (3), and hydrogen-bond-based 2-D [Cu(CN)(3)Cu(cyclam)](n)()(CH(3)OH)(n) (4) (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane). (1) Crystallizes in triclinic space group P with a = 8.3589(11) A, b = 13.478(2) A, c = 14.828(2) A, alpha = 66.895(2) degrees , beta = 77.916(3) degrees , gamma = 85.939(3) degrees , and Z = 1; (2) crystallizes in triclinic space group P with a = 8.2305(12) A, b = 9.8861(15) A, c = 13.219(2) A, alpha = 84.863(3) degrees , beta = 75.744(3) degrees , gamma = 89.818(3) degrees , and Z = 2; 3 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with a = 6.830(2) A, b = 8.482(2) A, c = 17.306(4) A, beta = 98.144(4) degrees , and Z = 2; 4 crystallizes in triclinic space group P with a = 9.470(1) A, b = 10.034(1) A, c = 12.064(1) A, alpha = 67.325(2), beta = 75.593(2), gamma = 70.672(2), and Z = 2. The coordination sphere of Cu(I) sites in the complexes shows diverse structures: tetrahedral [CuC(4)] for (1), tetrahedral [CuC(3)N] and triangular [CuC(2)N] for (2), triangular [CuC(2)N] for (3), and triangular [CuC(3)] for 4. In particular, (1) constitutes the first example of a structurally characterized system containing a bridging tetrahedral [Cu(CN)(4)](3)(-) unit. The diverse structural nature of these complexes is governed by the capping amines and the content of water in the reaction media. The magnetic interactions are negligible in these mixed-valence complexes.     

Cu3C4-: a new sandwich molecule with two revolving C2(2-) units

A combined photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and ab initio study was carried out on a novel copper carbide cluster in the gas phase: Cu(3)C(4)(-). It was generated in a laser vaporization cluster source and appeared to exhibit enhanced stability among the Cu(3)C(n)(-) series. Its PES spectra were obtained at several photon energies, showing numerous well-resolved bands. Extensive ab initio calculations were performed on Cu(3)C(4)(-), and two isomers were identified: a C(2) structure ((1)A) with a Cu(3)(3+) triangular group sandwiched by two C(2)(2-) units and a linear CuCCCuCCCu structure (D(infinity)(h), (1)Sigma(g)(+)). A comparison of ab initio PES spectra with experimental data showed that the sandwich Cu(3)C(4)(-) cluster was solely responsible for the observed spectra and the linear isomer was not present, suggesting that the C(2) structure is the global minimum in accordance with CCSD(T)/6-311+G predictions. Interestingly, a relatively low barrier (0.4-0.6 kcal/mol) was found for the internal rotation of the C(2)(2-) units in the sandwich Cu(3)C(4)(-). To test different levels of theory in describing the Cu(m)C(n)(-) systems and lay foundations for the validity of the theoretical methods, extensive calculations at a variety of levels were also carried out on a simpler copper carbide species CuC(2)(-), where two isomers were found to be close in energy: a linear one (C(infinity)(v), (1)Sigma(+)) and a triangular one (C(2)(v), (1)A(1)). The calculated electronic transitions for CuC(2)(-) were also compared with the PES data, in which both isomers were present.

State-specific reactions of Cu(+)(1S, 3D) with CH3X and CF3X (X = Cl, Br, I): exploring the influence of dipole orientation on association and C-X bond activation

The reactions of gas-phase Cu(+)((1)S) and Cu(+)((3)D) with CF(3)X and CH(3)X (X = Cl, Br, and I) have been examined experimentally using the drift cell technique at 3.5 Torr in He at room temperature. State-specific product channels and overall bimolecular rate constants for depletion of the two Cu(+) states were determined using electronic state chromatography. The results showed that Cu(+)((1)S) participates exclusively in association with all of these neutrals, whereas, depending on the neutral, Cu(+)((3)D) initiates up to three bimolecular processes, resulting in the formation of CuX(+), CuC(H/F)(3)(+), and C(H/F)(3)X(+). Possible structures for the singlet association products were explored using density functional methods. These calculations indicated that Cu(+) preferentially associates with the labile halogen (Cl, Br, I) with all neutrals except CF(3)Cl, for which a "backside" geometry occurs in which Cu(+)((1)S) is weakly bound to the -CF(3) end of the molecule. All products observed on the triplet reaction surface can be understood in terms of either known or calculated thermochemical requirements. Product distributions and overall reaction efficiencies for C-X bond activation (X = Br, I) through Cu(+)((3)D) suggest that the orientation of the neutral dipole has little or no effect in controlling access to specific product channels. Likewise, second-order rate constants for reactions with X = Br and I indicate efficient depletion of Cu(+)((3)D) and do not exhibit the dramatic variations in reaction efficiency previously observed with CH(3)Cl and CF(3)Cl. These results suggest that C-X bond activation proceeds through a bond-insertion mechanism as opposed to direct abstraction.     

13C-isotopic fingerprint of Pinus pinaster Ait. and Pinus sylvestris L. wood related to the quality of standing tree mass in forests from NW Spain

Pine forest plantations of Pinus pinaster Ait. and P. sylvestris L. located in Galicia, NW Spain, were selected to study the 13C/12C-isotopic fingerprint in wood core samples in order to find possible relationships between the delta(13)C at natural abundance levels and the quality of the standing tree mass. For each pine species, 24 forests growing on acidic soils were studied: half developed over granite and half over schists. Two dominant trees from each plot, corresponding to all possible combinations of forest stands with high or low site index and with adults or young trees, were drilled at the basal part of trunks using a Pressler drill to obtain tree ring samples. The C-isotopic compositions of the litter and the soil organic matter from different soil depths were also determined and statistically significant correlations between these values and the 13C content of the wood were observed. Despite internal variations due to the influence of site index, tree age and parent material, the isotopic fingerprint of P. pinaster wood (mean value delta13C=-26.2+/-0.8 per thousand) significantly differed (P<0.001) from that of P. sylvestris (mean value delta13C=-24.6+/-0.7 per thousand). Relationships between the quality of the stand and the C-isotopic composition of the wood were observed, high quality stands having trees more 13C-depleted than low quality ones. A high correlation between wood delta13C and site index values for P. pinaster stands (r=-0.667, P<0.001) was found, this correlation being even clearer when only P. pinaster growing over schists (r=-0.833, P<0.001) are considered. Again, the correlation between the site index and the wood delta13C of young P. pinaster trees is higher when plots over granite or schists are separately considered. A similar fact occurs for adult P. sylvestris trees from schists stands, high quality specimens being 13C-depleted compared with low quality ones. On the other hand, 13C natural abundance of wood from P. sylvestris trees seems to be also strongly influenced by the underlying parent material, young trees from granite stands having a statistically higher 13C-isotopic composition (P<0.05) than young trees from schists stands.

The title complex has a 1D [Cu(bbpy)(H2bptc)]n chain structure, in which the extensive hydrogen-bond interactions make the chain more stable. The neighboring parallel chains are further packed into a 2D layer structure via π···π stacking interaction between the pyridine rings of bbpy ligands. Moreover, the adjacent layers are interconnected by the C-H···π interactions to form a 3D metal-organic framework.

Formation,growth mechanism and packing sequences of binary alloy cluster anions from laser ablation of mixtures of lead and transition metals

By using laser ablation of the mixtures of a transition metal (M: Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, Ag) plus lead, M/Pb binary cluster anions were observed except for Zn, and the number of transition metal atoms contained in the binary clusters is at most 4. This behavior is different from that reported previously for M/Ge binary clusters. The experiments indicate that it is also very difficult to form Al/Pb clusters. The distribution patterns of M/Pb binary alloy cluster anions are remarkably similar to those of pure Pb clusters, consistent with a formation mechanism in which transition metal atoms are sequentially attached to [M(x-1)Pb(y)](-) clusters and thus form [M(x)Pb(y)](-) clusters by a simple condensation process. As the number of transition metal atoms increases, the intensities of binary clusters gradually decrease. It is proposed that [MPb(4)](-) and [MPb(5)](-) cluster anions might be the unit building blocks of M/Pb binary cluster anions, and the layer packing sequences for magic clusters are predicted on this basis. The [M(x)Pb(y)](-) binary clusters containing 13 atoms (x + y = 13; x not equal 0) are proposed to have an icosahedral structure.     

Magnetic interactions in A-site-ordered perovskites LnCu3(Ge(3/4)Ga(1/4))4O12 (Ln = La, Dy)

A-site-ordered perovskites LaCu(3)(Ge(3/4)Ga(1/4))(4)O(12) and DyCu(3)(Ge(3/4)Ga(1/4))(4)O(12) were synthesized, and their magnetism was investigated. Ferromagnetic ordering of the square-planar-coordinated Cu(2+) spins was observed at 12-13 K in both compounds, and the Dy(3+) moment in DyCu(3)(Ge(3/4)Ga(1/4))(4)O(12) stayed paramagnetic below T(C). The decoupling of the magnetic behavior of Cu(2+) and Dy(3+) sublattices revealed the weak magnetic interaction between Cu(2+) and Dy(3+).     

Molecule-Based Magnets: Ferro- and Antiferromagnetic Interactions in Copper(II)-Polyorganosiloxanolate Clusters

The magnetic behavior of the clusters [(PhSiO(2))(6)Cu(6)(O(2)SiPh)(6)].6EtOH (1), Na(4)[(PhSiO(2))(12)Cu(4)].8(n)()BuOH (2), and K(4)[(C(2)H(3)SiO(2))(12)Cu(4)].6(n)()BuOH (3) has been investigated by combined magnetic susceptibility measurements and variable-temperature EPR techniques (9.25 and 245 GHz). The six copper(II) ions in the core of 1, which approaches 6/mmm symmetry, are ferromagnetically coupled as a result of the geometry at the bridging siloxanolate oxygen atoms (Cu-O-Cu = 91.5-94.6 degrees; J = -42 cm(-)(1) with H = J S(i)().S(i)()(+1), S(7) = S(1)). The ground S = 3 spin state is split in zero field mainly due to anisotropic exchange contributions (D = 0.30 cm(-)(1)). Notably, both the magnitude and the sign of the zero-field splitting parameter have been determined from HF-EPR spectra. Large antiferromagnetic Cu-Cu interactions (J approximately 200 cm(-)(1)) and an S = 0 ground state have been detected in the tetranuclear clusters 2 and 3 as a consequence of the larger Cu-O-Cu angles. The results presented in the paper are relevant to the search for new molecule-based magnetic materials.     

Hyperfine splittings in spin-frustrated trinuclear Cu(3) clusters

The hyperfine structures of the EPR spectra of the spin-frustrated and distorted Cu(II) trimers were calculated in the spin-coupling model. The correlations between the hyperfine structures of the EPR spectra and geometry of the Cu(3) clusters (equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles) were found. For the EPR spectrum of the spin-frustrated ground state 2(S = 1/2) of an equilateral triangle Cu(3) cluster (J(12) = J(13) = J(23) = J), the calculated hyperfine structure represents the complicated spectrum of the 24 hyperfine lines, of total length 5a, where a is the hyperfine constant of the mononuclear Cu center. For an isosceles Cu(3) cluster (J(12) not equal J(13) = J(23)), the hyperfine splittings of the EPR spectra of the two split S = 1/2 levels with intermediate spins S(12) = 0 and S(12) = 1 are essentially different. The EPR signal of the |(S(12) = 0)S = 1/2> level is characterized by the four equally spaced hyperfine lines (interval A = a) with the same relative spectral amplitudes 16:16:16:16 and total length 3a. For the |(S(12) = 1)S = 1/2> level, the calculated hyperfine structure represents the spectrum of the 16 hyperfine lines with equal spacing (interval A' = a/3), the spectral intensity distribution 1:1:3:3:5:5:7:7:7:7:5:5:3:3:1:1 and total length 5a. These hyperfine spectra differ from the hyperfine structure (10 lines with interval a/3) of the EPR signals of the excited S = 3/2 level of the Cu(3) cluster. The quartet hyperfine structure, characteristic of a single Cu(2+) nucleus, which was observed experimentally for the doublet ground state of the spin-frustrated Cu(3)(II) clusters, corresponds to the hyperfine structure of the EPR signal of the |(S(12) = 0)S = 1/2> level. This hyperfine structure is evidence of the lowering of the Cu(3) cluster symmetry from trigonal to orthorhombic and the small splitting of the spin-frustrated 2(S = 1/2) ground state.     

Ternary nanoclusters of CuHgS,CuHgSe, and CuInS

Two copper-mercury-chalcogenide clusters [Hg(15)Cu(20)E(25)(PPr(3))(18)] (1, E = S; 2, E = Se) are synthesized in good yield from the reaction of (Pr(3)P)(3)Cu-ESiMe(3) and (Pr(3)P)(2).Hg(OAc)(2) at low temperatures. Single-crystal X-ray analyses illustrate that the two ternary clusters are isomorphous and consist of a phosphine-stabilized core of mixed Hg, Cu, and E centers. Thermolysis of 1 leads to the formation of mercury metal and various forms of copper-sulfide. The copper-indium-sulfide cluster [Cu(6)In(8)S(13)Cl(4)(PEt(3))(12)] (3) is similarly prepared in 50% yield from (Et(3)P)(3)Cu-SSiMe(3), InCl(3), and S(SiMe(3))(2).     

STM/STS observation of polyoxoanions on HOPG surfaces: the wheel-shaped [Cu20Cl(OH)24(H2O)12(P8W48O184)]25- and the ball-shaped [{Sn(CH3)2(H2O)}24{Sn(CH3)2}12(A-PW9O34)12]36-

A combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) techniques have been performed on the wheel-shaped [Cu20Cl(OH)24(H2O)12(P8W48O184)]25- and the ball-shaped [{Sn(CH3)2(H2O)}24{Sn(CH3)2}12(A-PW9O34)12]36- deposited on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surfaces. Small, regular molecule clusters, as well as separated single molecules, were observed. The size of the molecules is in agreement with the data determined by X-ray crystallography. In STS measurements, we found a rather large contrast at the expected location of the Cu metal centers in our molecules, i.e., the location of the individual Cu ions in their organic matrix is directly addressable by STS.
