Synthesis,structure and luminescence properties of two novel lanthanide complexes with 2-fluorobenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

Two lanthanide complexes with 2-fluorobenzoate (2-FBA) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The structure of each complex contains two non-equivalent binuclear molecules, [Ln(2-FBA)₃?·?phen?·?CH₃CH₂OH]₂ and [Ln(2-FBA)₃?·?phen]₂ (Ln?=?Eu (1) and Sm (2)). In [Ln(2-FBA)₃?·?phen?·?CH₃CH₂OH]₂, the Ln³⁺ is surrounded by eight atoms, five O atoms from five 2-FBA groups, one O atom from ethanol and two N atoms from phen ligand; 2-FBA groups coordinate Ln³⁺ with monodentate and bridging coordination modes. The polyhedron around Ln³⁺ is a distorted square-antiprism. In [Ln(2-FBA)₃?·?phen]₂, the Ln³⁺ is coordinated by nine atoms, seven O atoms from five 2-FBA groups and two N atoms of phen ligand; 2-FBA groups coordinate Ln³⁺ ion with chelating, bridging and chelating-bridging three coordination modes. The polyhedron around Ln³⁺ ion is a distorted, monocapped square-antiprism. The europium complex exhibits strong red fluorescence from ⁵D₀?→?⁷F _j ( j?=?1–4) transition emission of Eu³⁺.     

Ternary copper(II) complexes of aroylhydrazones and mono/bidentate heterocycles with different structures: synthesis,crystal structure and properties

Two mixed-ligand Cu(II) complexes, [CuL¹(Himdz] · CH₃OH (1) and [CuL²(phen)] · 0.5DMF (2), with different structures have been synthesized by using substituted aroylhydrazones, 5-bromo-salicylaldehyde-benzoylhydrazone (H₂L¹) and 5-bromo-salicylaldehyde-3,5-dimethoxy-benzoylhydrazone (H₂L²), and mono/bidentate heterocycles, imidazole (Himdz) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). Their crystal structures and spectroscopic properties have been studied. X-ray analysis show a distorted square-planar geometry for 1 and a distorted square-pyramidal geometry for 2, in which the chelating phen ligand displays axial-equatorial bonding. In both structures the ONO tridentate ligand occupies the basal plane. Self-assembly via O–H ··· N, N–H ··· O and C–H ··· O interactions lead to one-dimensional chain arrangement in 1 and 2.     

A novel manganese(II) complex with phen ligands: hydrothermal synthesis,structure and magnetic properties of [Mn(phen)(H2O)4] SO4·2H2O

A novel manganese(II) complex, [Mn(phen)(H₂O)₄]SO₄·2H₂O (1), has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The manganese(II) complex contains only one phen ligand and four water ligands. By a catalytic test, complex 1 provided direct evidence that phen is a key ligand instead of an auxiliary one in manganese catalase mimics. Magnetic susceptibility measurements for complex 1 have been performed down to 2?K, suggesting paramagnetic behavior for this complex.     

Synthesis,Structures and DFT Studies of Imido‐bridged and (Bis)ligand‐coordinated Titanium Complexes

Syntheses and structures of five imido‐bridged dinuclear titanium complexes and two (bis)ligand‐coordinated mononuclear titanium complexes are reported. Addition of 1 or 2 equiv. of Schiff base ligand (((1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)methylene)amino)‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐inden‐2‐ol (H₂L) to Ti(NMe₂)₄ resulted in transamination with 4 equiv. of dimethylamides generating a (bis)ligand‐coordinated complex Ti(L)₂ ( 1 ). Treatment of Ti(NMe₂)₄ with 1 equiv. of ^tBuNH₂ followed by addition of 1 equiv. of H₂L afforded an imido‐bridged complex [Ti(L)(N^tBu)]₂ ( 2 ). 1:1:1:1 reaction of Ti(NMe₂)₄/RNH₂/H₂L/py(or phen) produced imido‐bridgedcomplexes [Ti(L)(NPh)(py)]₂ ( 3 ), [Ti(L)(4‐F‐PhN)(py)]₂·Tol ( 4 ·Tol), [Ti(L)(4‐Cl‐PhN)(py)]₂·Tol·THF ( 5 ·Tol·THF), [Ti(L)(4‐Br‐PhN)(py)]₂·Tol ( 6 ·Tol) and a (bis)ligand‐coordinated complex Ti(L)₂·phen ( 7 ) (py = pyridine, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline). Attempts to prepare the monomeric titianium imido complexes were unsuccessful. DFT studies show that the assumed compound which contains Ti = N species is less stable than imido‐bridged Ti‐N(R)‐Ti complexes, providing the better understanding of the experimental results.     

A Polymeric Arched Chain and a Chair‐like M2L2‐Metallamacrocycle Crystal Engineered of [M(phen)]2+ (M = Cu,Cd; phen = 1,10‐Phenanthroline) Corner Units and the Bent Ligand 4,4′‐Dithiodipyridine

Self‐assembly of Cd(phen)²⁺ and Cu(phen)²⁺ (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline) building blocks with the bent ligand 4,4′‐dithiodipyridine (dtdp) has been investigated. Both building blocks serve as corner units with constrained cis‐geometry. The arched chain coordination polymer [{Cd(phen)(μ‐dtdp)(dtdp)(H₂O)}(ClO₄)₂·2CH₃OH·1.5H₂O]_n ( 1 ) crystallised from a mixture of Cd(ClO₄)₂·H₂O, phen and dtdp in methanol. The reaction of [Cu(phen)(H₂O)₂](CF₃SO₃)₂ ( 2 ) with dtdp in an ethanol/water mixture yielded a chair‐like metallamacrocycle, [{Cu(phen)(CF₃SO₃)₂}₂(μ‐dtpd)₂] ( 3 ). The crystal structure of the precursor complex 2 is also reported.     

Formation of a 1-D metal–water chain and a 2-D water–sulfate layer containing cyclic water octamers in a 3-D supramolecular network

A new tetranuclear complex, {[Cu(phen)(OH)]₄(H₂O)₂}?·?(SO₄)₂?·?8H₂O (1) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, TG, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 exhibits a 3-D supramolecular network with a 1-D metal–water chain consisting of tetranuclear hydroxo-bridged copper(II) clusters and water octamers and a 2-D water–sulfate layer containing cyclic water octamers with five types of O–H?···?O hydrogen-bonding motifs. The free ligand and its complex were screened for antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.     

Cadmium(II) Complexes with Mixed cis‐Epoxysuccinate and 2,2′‐Bipyridyl‐Like Ligands: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Luminescent Properties

Two new Cd^II complexes, [Cd( ces )(phen)]_∞ ( 1 ) and {[Cd( ces )(bpy)(H₂O)](H₂O)}₂ ( 2 ), were prepared by slow solvent evaporation methods from mixtures of cis‐epoxysuccinic acid and Cd(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O in the presence of phen or bpy co‐ligand ( ces = cis‐epoxysuccinate, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline, and bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine). Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses show that complex 1 has a one‐dimensional (1D) helical chain that is further assembled into a two‐dimensional (2D) sheet, and then an overall three‐dimensional (3D) network by the interchain C–H ··· O hydrogen bonds. Complex 2 features a dinuclear structure, which is further interlinked into a 3D supramolecular network by the co‐effects of intermolecular C–H ··· O and C–H ··· π hydrogen bonds as well as π ··· π stacking interactions. The structural differences between 1 and 2 are attributable to the intervention of different 2,2′‐bipyridyl‐like co‐ligands. Moreover, 1 and 2 exhibit intense solid‐state luminescence at room temperature, which mainly originates from the intraligand π→π* transitions of aromatic co‐ligands.

A new copper(II) complex, [Cu(naph‐leu)phen]CH₃OH·0.5H₂O, in which naph‐leu is the tridentate Schiff base ligand derived from the condensation of 2‐hydroxy‐1‐naphthaldehyde and L‐leucine, phen is phenanthroline, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The DNA‐binding properties of this complex have been investigated by absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra and circular dichroism (CD) spectra, as well as viscosity measurement. Results show that this copper(II) complex binds to calf thymus DNA (CT‐DNA) in an intercalative mode and its intrinsic binding constant K_b is 4.87×10³ L·mol^?1. Furthermore, the DNA cleavage activity of this copper(II) complex has also been investigated by submarine gel electrophoresis. Interestingly, it was found that this complex can cleave the supercoiled plasmid pBR322 DNA to both nicked and linear forms.     

Synthesis,structure and electrochemical behavior of an organic-inorganic hybrid compound based on Dawson-type polyoxometalates

An organic-inorganic hybrid compound constructed from Wells-Dawson polyanion clusters and metal-organic complex subunits, [Cu(phen)₃][Cu(phen)₂Cu(phen)₂(P₂W₁₈O₆₂)]·2H₂O (1) has been prepared hydrothermally and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal structural analysis indicates that two terminal oxygen atoms of the Wells-Dawson polyanion located in the “belt” site coordinate with Cu²⁺. Three Cu ions have different coordination environments: Cu1 and Cu2 are five-coordinate, while Cu3 is six-coordinate. The bisupporting polyoxoanions [Cu(phen)₂Cu(phen)₂(P₂W₁₈O₆₂)]^2? are polymerized into a 1D chain by hydrogen bonding interactions, then the chains are stacked into a two-dimensional structure via offset, face-to-face, π ··· π stacking interactions. CV reveals that 1 exhibits three chemically-reversible processes.

In each complex the planar ligand binds the metal ion via phenolate-O, imine-N, and amide-O. Complex 1 is a polymer in which phenoxo-bridged binuclear Cu(II) units are further joined by equatorial–apical amide-O bridges. The Cu···Cu separations are 3.0306 and 3.8217?Å for the phenolate-O bridged pair and the amide-O bridged pair, respectively. Complex 2 is a monomer where chelating phen displays axial–equatorial bonding, with square-pyramidal Cu(II).

The complex results from bridging of two Cu(phen)2 units by three carboxylate groups, and each Cu2 ion is in a distorted square pyramidal geometry with two nitrogen atoms of phen and three carboxylate oxygen atoms of POAc. It has been showed that intramolecular stacking interactions occur between the phenyl moieties of POAc and aromatic rings of phen, leading to a novel molecule structure with two coordinating modes of carboxylate ligands, of which two phenylacetates are μ2-carboxylate-O-bridging ligands, and the other is a μ2-carboxylate-

Through hydrogen bonding, the complex cations, hydrogenmaleate anions and lattice H₂O molecules are assembled into 1D chains, which are held together by weak Cu···O interactions (3.139 Å) to form corrugated 2D layers. Significant π-π stacking interactions between neighboring phen ligands leads to supramolecular assembly of the 2D layers. Over the temperature range 5-300 K, the complex obeys the Currie-Weiss law with an effective magnetic moment of 1.78 BM at room temperature.
