Probing spin density and local structure in the Prussian blue analogues CsCd[Fe/Co(CN)6]·0.5H2O and Cd3[Fe/Co(CN)6]2·15H2O with solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy

Magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy is used to study the local structure and spin delocalisation in Prussian blue analogues (PBAs). We selected two common archetypes of PBAs (A(I)M(II)[M(III)(CN)(6)]·xH(2)O and M(II)(3)[M(III)(CN)(6)](2)·xH(2)O, in which A(I) is an alkali ion, and M(II) and M(III) are transition-metal ions) that exhibit similar cubic frameworks but different microscopic structures. Whereas the first type of PBA contains interstitial alkali ions and does not exhibit any [M(III)(CN)(6)](3-) vacancies, the second type of PBA exhibits [M(III)(CN)(6)](3-) vacancies, but does not contain inserted alkali ions. In this study, we selected Cd(II) as a divalent metal in order to use the (113)Cd nuclei (I=1/2) as a probe of the local structure. Here, we present a complete MAS NMR study on two series of PBAs of the formulas Cd(II)(3)[Fe(III)(x)Co(III)(1-x)(CN)(6)](2)·15H(2)O with x=0 (1), 0.25 (2), 0.5 (3), 0.75 (4) and 1 (5), and CsCd(II)[Fe(III)(x)Co(III)(1-x)(CN)(6)]·0.5H(2)O with x=0 (6), 0.25 (7), 0.5 (8), 0.75 (9) and 1 (10). Interestingly, the presence of Fe(III) magnetic centres in the vicinity of the cadmium sites has a magnifying-glass effect on the NMR spectrum: it induces a striking signal spread such that the resolution is notably improved compared to that achieved for the diamagnetic PBAs. By doping the sample with varying amounts of diamagnetic Co(III) and comparing the NMR spectra of both types of PBAs, we have been able to give a view of the structure which is complementary to that usually obtained from X-ray diffraction studies. In particular, this study has shown that the vacancies are not randomly distributed in the mesoporous PBAs. Moreover the cadmium chemical shift, which is a measure of the hyperfine coupling, allows the estimation of the spin density on the cadmium nucleus, and consequently, the elucidation of the spin delocalisation mechanism in these compounds along with its dependency on structural parameters.     

Synthesis, properties, and thermal decomposition of compounds [Co(En)3][Fe(CN)6] · 2H2O and [Co(En)3]4[Fe(CN)6]3 · 15H2O

Binary complex salts, [Co(En)₃][Fe(CN)6] · 2H₂O and [Co(En)₃]₄[Fe(CN)₆]₃ · 15H₂O, are synthesized. The properties of the salts and their thermolysis in air, dihydrogen, and argon are studied. Oxides of the central ions of the binary complex salts are found to be the thermolysis products in an oxidative atmosphere. Solid solutions (intermetallic compounds) CoFe are the thermolysis products in the reductive atmosphere, whereas intermetallides containing considerable amounts of C and N and an impurity of Co and Fe oxides are the thermolysis products in an inert atmosphere. Gaseous thermolysis products in dihydrogen and argon are NH₃, hydrocarbons, and ethylenediamine.     

CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF [K(18-CROWN-6)][Bi(SCN)Cl_3]

<正> The crystal and Molecular structure of [K(18-crown-6)](Bi(SCN)Cl3] has been deterained by X-ray diffraction Method. Its crystal is triclinic, space group Pl,with a = 9.233(4), b = 11.661(5), c=11.738(5)A,a= 81.82(4)° ,β=71.47(4)°,γ=75.55(4)°, and Z = 2.

CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF Cd(H2O)2Cu(CN)3·2H2O,K[Cd(H2O)2Cu2(CN)5]·2H2O AND K2[Cd(H2O)Cu4(CN)8]·1.5H2O. STRUCTURES OF MULTI-DIMENSIONAL FRAMEWORKS FORMED WITH CADMIUM(II), COPPER(I) AND BRIDGING CYANO GROUPS

Abstract

In an attempt to form new multi-dimensional structures of cyano complexes including cadmium(II) and copper(I), four new complexes were obtained successively from an aqueous solution at intervals of from a few days to a few months. The complex 1 obtained first was unstable in the atmosphere. The crystal structures of the other complexes (2–4) obtained from second to fourth were determined by single crystal X-ray structure determinations. Their crystal data are as follows: 2 Cd(H₂O)₂ Cu(CN)₃·2H₂O, monoclinic, C2/m, a = 14.038(1), b = 9.944(1), c = 7.738(1) Å, β = 116.019(7)°, Z = 4; 3 K[Cd(H₂O)₂Cu₂(CN)₅]·2H₂O, triclinic, PI, a = 17.429(9), b = 16.519(7), c = 10.085(5) Å, α = 128.60(3), β = 137.44(2), γ = 45.82(2)°, Z = 4; 4 K₂[Cd(H₂O)Cu₄(CN)₈]·1.5H₂O, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 19.387(2), b = 16.056(3), c = 12.663(2)Å, β = 110.419(9)°, Z = 4. The main structural feature found in the complexes is that the whole framework consists of two networks, a Cd-Cu(I)-CN complex network that has an infinite network formed with bridging cyano groups between the metal atoms and a network formed with hydrogen bonding among water molecules. The second network is connected to Cd in the Cd-Cu(I)-CN complex network via a water ligand coordinated to Cd. In 2 a planar network of [CdCu(CN)₃] complexes are stacked along the c axis and the second network links the stacked complexes. 3 has a stacked structure of [Cd(H₂O)₂Cu(CN)₅]^2? in a bi-layered structure. The second network of 3, which includes K⁺ ions with an electrostatic interaction, spreads over the crystal, penetrating vacant spaces of the metal complex network. 4 has a double lattice structure with a pair of enantiomeric three-dimensional [Cd(H₂O)Cu₄(CN)₈]^2? complexes inter-penetrating each other. There are three structural factors for forming these framwork structures: (1) a non-planar coordination structure for Cd(II) that extends the planar structure of the Cu(I)-CN complex to a three-dimensional structure for the Cd-Cu(I)-CN complex; (2) a trigonal planar coordination structure for Cu(I) that generates vacant space in the metal complex network and makes possible hydrogen bonds to form the second network; (3) structural distortions of bridging cyano groups and a coordination structure of Cu(I) that cause variations of the metal complex network structure.

Structure of the complex [trans-SnF4(H2O)2· (18-crown-6)· 2H2O]

The molecular and crystal structure of the title complex (I) obtained by addition of tin fluoride in a hydrofluoric acid solution to 18-crown-6 in methanol was investigated by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 13.497(3), b = 7.806(2), c = 9.892(2) Å, β = 95.57(3)°, Z = 2 for C₁₂H₃₂F₄O₁₀Sn. In the polymer chain, the crown ether molecules alternate with the inorganic complexes [trans-SnF₄(H₂O)₂] and are linked to them by O-H...O type hydrogen bonds involving the intermediate water molecules. The weak C-H...F interactions bind the chains into the layers which are parallel to the xz plane.

Zusammenfassung Die Absorptions- und Reflexionsspektren der Oktocyanokomplexe desMo(IV) undW(IV) sowie die Absorptionsspektren der Oktocyanotomplexe desMo(V) undW(V) werden mitgeteilt. Die Spektren werden unter Zugrundelegung der durch Raman- und IR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen gefordertenD _4d-Symmetrie dieser Verbindungen interpretiert. Die beobachteten Banden niedriger Intensität (log<3) werden Übergängen in einem Termsystem zugeordnet, das für die Konfigurationend ² undd ₁ und die SymmetrieD _4d berechnet worden ist. Banden hoher Intensität (log>3) werden auf Übergänge in antibindende Zustände zurückgeführt, an denen höherep-Zustände des Zentralions sowie Ligandenzustände beteiligt sind. Die erhaltenen Werte des Feldparameters stimmen mit ligandenfeldtheoretischen Erwartungen überein.

Absorption and reflection spectra of the octacyanides ofMo(IV) andW(IV) and the absorption spectra of the octacyanides ofMo(V) andW(V) are presented. The spectra are interpreted in terms of theD _4d symmetry of the compounds supported by investigations of Raman and infrared spectra. Bands of low intensity (log<3) correspond to transitions between levels obtained in the case of the configurationsd ² andd ¹ respectively, in a field ofD _4d symmetry. Bands of high intensity (log>3) are attributed to transitions into antibonding levels in which p-orbitals of the central ion and ligand orbitals participate. The values of the field parameter obtained are in accord with ligand field theory.

Vibrational spectroscopic studies of some dimethylpyrazine cadmium (II) tetracyanonickelate benzene clathrates: [Cd(C6H8N2)Ni(CN)4]·C6H6

Two new cadmium dimethylpyrazine (2,3-dimethylpyrazine or 2,5-dimethylpyrazine) tetracyanonickelate benzene clathrates, [Cd(C₆H₈N₂)Ni(CN)₄]·C₆H₆, have been prepared in powder form and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermal analyses and elemental analyses. Vibrational assignments are proposed for the bands of the host lattice and guest molecule. It is shown that the spectra are consistent with a proposed crystal structure for these compounds derived from X-ray diffraction measurements. The C, H, N, Cd and Ni analyses were carried out for all the compounds. Thermal behaviors of these compounds are followed using TG and DTA techniques. The FT-IR, Raman spectroscopic, XRD, thermal and elemental analyses results propose that these compounds are similar in structure to the Hofmann-type clathrates. Their structure consists of planar polymeric layers, {M–Ni(CN)₄}_∞, formed from Ni(CN)₄ anions coordinated to the bridging 2,3- or 2,5-dimethylpyrazine molecules bound directly to the cadmium. The cadmium atoms are bound to four N atoms of the CN ions and, the Ni atoms are surrounded by four C atoms of the CN groups in a square-planar layer.     

[Ni(cien)2]2[Mn(NCS)6]·H2O的合成、晶体结构

硫氰酸根的结构为N三C-S-,其两端的N原子和S原子分别有一对和三对孤对电子,因此,硫氰酸根可采用多种不同的配位模式与金属离子发生配位.硫氰酸根可作为单齿配体与一个金属离子配位,形成M-SCN或M-NCS的单核配合物,也可以作为桥联配体同时与两个、三个甚至四个金属离子配位形成多核配合物[1-3];另一方面,硫氰酸根是一个具有一定共轭性的偶极子,可传递磁相作用.因此,选择硫氰酸根作为桥联配体,将多个顺磁金属离子桥联形成一维、二维或三维结构的多核金属配合物分子,并研究它们的磁性已成为分子磁学的一个研究领域[4-6].本文仅报道标题配合物的合成与晶体结构.

Crystal Structures of 1,3-Calix[4]-bis-crown-6·3CH3CN and 1,3-Calix[4]-bis-(benzo-crown-6)·3 CH3CN

The crystal structures of a new solvate of the ditopic receptor 1,3-calix[4]-bis-crown-6, Bis-C6, and of 1,3-calix[4]-bis-(benzo-crown-6), Bis-benzoC6, are reported. Bis-C6.3 CH3CN (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, a = 14.388(3), b = 26.947(8), c = 14.707(4) Å, = 113.19(3)°, V = 5241(5) Å3, Z = 4. Refinement led to a final conventional R value of 0.092 for 2723 reflections. The structure of (1) differs from the previously reported structure of Bis-C6.4 CH3CN by the conformation of one crown either chain. Two acetonitrile molecules are in the close neighbourhood of the crown ether cavities. Bis-benzoC6.3 CH3CN (2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, a = 10.391(4), b = 17.264(11), c = 30.426(9) Å, = 94.62(3)°, V = 5440(7) Å3, Z = 4. Refinement led to a final conventional R value of 0.106 for 2965 reflections. Two acetonitrile molecules are located near the crown ether cavities, as in (1). One of the crown ether conformations is the same as in the binuclear caesium complex of Bis-benzoC6, supporting the hypothesis of a preorganization of this ligand towards the complexation of this ion; the second crown ether chain is partially disordered.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Sandwiched Trinuclear Complex [Tl_2(18-Crown-6)_2Pt(CN)_4]·2H_2O

1 INTRODUCTION Tetracyanoplatinate ion often forms one-dimen- sional chain compounds, and the Pt–Pt spacings are often only 0.01~0.3 ? longer than those in Pt metal (2.78 ?). The studies of room-temperature electrical conductivities of these complexes indicate that the shorter the Pt–Pt separations in the chains are, the higher the electrical conductivity is[1~3]. Tetracyano- platinate ion may also stack with suitable planar cations into one-dimensional materials such as [Pt- (CNR)4]…
