{[Cu₂(btm)₂(Hbtc)(H₂btc)₂(H₂O)]·9.5H₂O}_n (1), [Cu(bte)(H₂btc)₂]_n (2) {[Cu(btp)(H₂btc)₂]·0.25H₂O}_n (3) (btm?=?bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane, bte?=?bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethane, btp?=?bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propane, H₃btc?=?benzene-1, 3, 5-tricarboxylic acid) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. 1 features a 1-D double chain, which is interconnected by classical hydrogen-bonding (O–H?O) and π–π interactions to lead to a 3-D supramolecular architecture. 2 and 3 are both 1-D single chains, which are interconnected by π–π interactions to 2-D layer architectures. Elemental analysis, XRD, IR, TG and EPR spectra have been carried out and discussed.     

Syntheses,crystal structures and properties of two cadmium coordination polymers containing bis (2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methane(2-mBIM) and bis (imidazol-1-yl)methane (BIM) ligands

Coordination polymers, {[Cd(2-mBIM)₃](ClO₄)₂} _n (1) and [Cd(BIM)₂(NO₃)₂] _n (2), have been prepared from the reaction of bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methane(2-mBIM) with Cd(ClO₄)₂ and bis(imidazol-1-yl)methane (BIM) with Cd(NO₃)₂ in ethanol and water, respectively. Their structures were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Compound 1 crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group R-3c with a = b = 12.3617(5) Å, c = 38.896(3) Å, γ = 120°, V = 5147.5(5) ų, z = 6. The Cd^II occupies a crystallographic inversion center and is coordinated by six N atoms from six distinct 2-mBIM ligands to form a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Each 2-mBIM is coordinated to two Cd^II cations, linking alternatively four Cd^II cations, resulting in a 32-membered M₄L₄ macrometallacycle. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with a = 14.400(3) Å, b = 9.3894(18) Å, c = 8.6926(17) Å, β = 123.499(2)°, V = 980.1(3) ų, z = 2. The Cd coordinates to four nitrogen atoms from four different BIM and two nitrates to form a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The BIM ligands bridge to form a 1-D infinite double-bridged chain structure with 16-membered M₂L₂ macrometallacyclic structural units.     

Syntheses,structures, and luminescence of three 4-connected zinc coordination polymers with bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propane and benzenebiscarboxylate

Three zinc(II) coordination polymers {[Zn(btp)(1,2-bdc)(H₂O)]?·?H₂O} _n (1), {[Zn(btp)(1,3-bdc)(H₂O)]?·?1.5H₂O} _n (2), and {[Zn(btp)(NO₂-1,3-bdc)(H₂O)]?·?2H₂O} _n (3) were synthesized by 1,3-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propane (btp) and bis-carboxylate. Compound 1 is a thick 2-D network; 2 and 3 are undulated 2-D (4,4) networks. In 2 and 3, two adjacent networks interpenetrate to form a new 2-D double-layer network, which is sustained by hydrogen-bonding interactions. Compounds 1 and 2 reveal blue emission maximum at 351 and 403, respectively, in the solid state at room temperature.     

Syntheses and structures of two copper coordination polymers with bis (1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene and benzenedicarboxylate

Two copper coordination polymers [Cu(obtz)(bdc)] _n (1) and {[Cu(obtz)(phth)] · 2H₂O} _n (2) (obtz = 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, bdc = 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate, phth = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) were synthesized and characterized. Both 1 and 2 are 2-D networks constructed via the bridging ligands bdc and phth. The obtz ligands do not extend the dimension (2-D network) but add their thickness, 10.9 Å for 1 and 11.6 Å for 2. Complex 1 further constructs a 3-D network via π?π stacking interactions between the benzene rings of obtz ligands of adjacent 2-D networks. The thermal stabilities have been investigated.     

Three cobalt coordination polymers based on bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene positional isomer ligands and thiocyanate

The reaction of three positional isomer ligands of bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene and Co(NCS)₂ gives three coordination polymers [Co(obtz)₂(NCS)₂] _n (1), [Co(mbtz)₂(NCS)₂] _n (2), and {[Co(bbtz)₂(NCS)₂]?·?2DMF} _n (3). Polymers 1 and 2 are comprised of similar 1-D double chains. In 1, each chain forms π–π stacking interactions with four adjacent chains (two above and two below) to extend to a 3-D supramolecular network. Polymer 3 is a neutral 2-D (4,4) network. The dangling NCS^? inserts into the window of adjacent layers in a mutual relationship and result in a 2-D?→?3-D polythreaded network in 3. The thermal stability and the diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy of 1, 2, and 3 were measured.

Synthesis and crystal structures of Group 6 metal carbonyl complexes containing S-rich bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligands

The reaction of 3(5)-methylthio-5(3)-phenylpyrazole with dibromomethane under phase-transfer catalytic conditions only affords a new ligand, bis(3-phenyl-5-methylthiopyrazol-1-yl)methane. However, the reaction of 3(5)-methylthio-5(3)-p-methoxyphenylpyrazole or 3(5)-methylthio-5(3)-tert-butylpyrazole with dibromomethane under the same conditions yields three isomers, respectively, indicating that the substituents significantly affect the steric and electronic properties of pyrazole ring during the formation of ligands. Treatment of these potential polydentate ligands with M(CO)₆ (M=Cr, Mo or W) under UV irradiation at room temperature affords (NN)M(CO)₄ derivatives, in which some complexes contain asymmetric substituted bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligands. The X-ray crystal structure analyses indicate that the sulfur atoms in these complexes do not take part in the coordination to the metal centers, and S-rich bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes actually act as bidentate chelating ligands by two nitrogen atoms. It is also interesting that in order to reduce the repulsion of methyl groups with carbonyls, the methyl groups in these complexes are oriented away from the metal centers.     

Syntheses and structures of five cadmium(II) coordination polymers from 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethane

Five structually distinct coordination polymers [Cd(bte)₃](NO₃)_{2 n} (1), [Cd(bte)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)_{2 n} (2), [Cd(bte)(NO₂)₂] _n (3), [Cd(bte)₂(H₂O)₂](H₂O)₂(ClO₄)_{2 n} (4) and [Cd(bte)(NCS)₂]_n (5) (bte = 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethane) have been synthesized and characterized. The structures of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 consist of a double interpenetrating three-dimensional -poloniumn cubic network, a two-dimensional (4,4) network, a two-dimensional rhombic network, a one-dimensional double chain containing 18-membered [Cd₂(bte)₂] rings and a two-dimensional rhombic network containing eight-membered [Cd₂(SCN)₂] rings, respectively.     

Chemical behavior of ortho-hydroquinone-based bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligands in the presence of palladium(II) chloride

The synthesis, structural characterization, and coordination behavior of ditopic ortho-hydroquinone-based bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligands (ortho-(OH)₂C₆H₃-4-CHpz₂, ortho-(OH)₂C₆H₃-4-CH(3-Phpz)₂, and ortho-(OH)₂C₆H₃-4-CH(3-tBupz)₂) with pyrazole, 3-phenylpyrazole, and 3-tert-butylpyrazole as donors are described. The reaction of a soluble PdCl₂-source with ortho-(OH)₂C₆H₃-4-CHpz₂ in acetonitrile yielded the related square-planar N,N-coordinated Pd(II) dichloride complex, whereas treatment of ortho-(OH)₂C₆H₃-4-CH(3-Phpz)₂ or ortho-(OH)₂C₆H₃-4-CH(3-tBupz)₂ with PdCl₂ in acetonitrile resulted in degradation of these ligands. The Pd(II) complexes trans-(3-PhpzH)₂PdCl₂ and trans-(3-tBupzH)₂PdCl₂ were isolated and fully characterized including X-ray diffraction analyses.     

Some features of the crystal and molecular structure of N-(1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)benzamidine and its hydrochloride

The crystal and molecular structures of N-(1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)benzamidine (1) and its hydrochloride (2) were determined by x-ray crystallography. In compound 1 both independent molecules are Z isomers of the anidine substituted in the imino group and 5-substituted 1H-1,2,4-triazoles. In the crystal the molecules of compound 1 are linked into a stable dimer by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. An undissociated HCl molecule was unexpectedly found in the structure of compound 2, while the structure of the base corresponded to the Z isomer of the amidine substituted in the amino group and to 2H-1,2,4-triazole substituted at position 5. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 are stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The HCl molecule participates in the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in compound 2.N. D.

Structural Diversity and Carbon Dioxide Sorption Selectivity of Zinc(II) Metal-Organic Frameworks Based on Bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane and Terephthalic Acid

A three-component reaction between the 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic (terephthalic) acid (H₂bdc), bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane (btrm) and zinc nitrate was studied, and three new coordination polymers were isolated by a careful selection of the reaction conditions. Coordination polymers {[Zn₃(DMF)(btrm)(bdc)₃]·nDMF}_∞ and {[Zn₃(btrm)(bdc)₃]·nDMF}_∞ containing trinuclear {Zn₃(bdc)₃} secondary building units are joined by btrm auxiliary linkers into three-dimensional metal–organic frameworks. The coordination polymer {[Zn(bdc)(btrm)]∙nDMF}_∞ consists of Zn²⁺ cations joined by bdc²⁻ and btrm linkers into a two-fold interpenetrated network. Upon activation, MOF [Zn₃(btrm)(bdc)₃]_∞ demonstrated CO₂/N₂ adsorption selectivity with an ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) factor of 21. All three MOF demonstrated photoluminescence with a maximum near 435–440 nm upon excitation at 330 nm.     

Four 1,3-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propane-based metal complexes tuned by competitive coordination of mixed ligands: synthesis,solid structure,and fluorescence

Four 1,3-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propane (btp)-based transition metal complexes, {[Zn(btp)₃] ?(ClO₄)₂} _n (1), [Zn(btp)₂(dca)₂] _n (2), [Zn(btp)(NCS)₂] (3), and [Mn(btp)₂(NCS)₂] _n (4), have been obtained by introducing small anionic coligands and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectra, thermogravimetric curves, and solid luminescence spectra. Structural determinations reveal that the polymeric triple-stranded chain for 1 without coligand is changed into 1-D double-stranded chains for 2 and 4, and discrete binuclear structure for 3. Compared with 1, the mixed-ligand complexes are moderately destabilized for 2 and 4, and slightly enhanced for 3. Additionally, the four solid complexes exhibit strong emissions, suggesting their potential applications as luminescent materials.     

3-(4-Phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)chromones

The condensation of 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylacetonitrile with 2-methyl-, 4-ethylresorcinol, and with pyrogallol gave α-(4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-2,4-dihydroxyacetophenones. Upon treatment with acid anhydrides and chlorides and subsequent hydrolysis these form 7-hydroxy-3-(4-phenyl)-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)chromones with different substituents in both the benzene and the pyrone rings. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1676–1684, November, 2005.

Synthesis,characterization, speciation and biological studies on metal chelates of 1-benzoyl(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thiourea

Proton-ligand association constants of 1-benzoyl(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thiourea (BTTU) and its complex formation constants with some bivalent metal ions Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), and Cu(II), have been determined potentiometrically in 50% EtOH–H₂O and 0.1 M NaNO₃. The complexes formed in solution have a stoichiometry of 1:1 and 1:2 [M:L], where M represents the metal ion and L the BTTU ligand. The corresponding thermodynamic parameters are derived and discussed. The complexes are stabilized by enthalpy changes and the results suggest that complexation is an enthalpy-driven process. The effects of metal ion, ionic radius, electronegativity, and nature of ligand on the formation constants are discussed. The formation constants of the complexes with 3d transition metals follow the order Mn²⁺ < Co²⁺ < Ni²⁺ < Cu²⁺ > Zn²⁺. The metal complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, conductance, IR, ¹H NMR, and magnetic measurements. The low magnetic moment of 0.11 BM for the Cu(II) complex is suggestive of dimerization through Cu–Cu interaction. The concentration distribution diagrams of the complexes were evaluated. The ligands and their metal complexes have been screened in vitro against some bacteria and fungi.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of two cadmium coordination polymers [Cd(2-mBIM)(NCS)(SCN)] n and [Cd2(2-mBIM)2(NO3)2(C4H4O4)(H2O)5] n based on bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methane

Two cadmium(II) coordination polymers, [Cd(2-mBIM)(NCS)(SCN)] _n (1) and [Cd₂(2-mBIM)₂(NO₃)₂(C₄H₄O₄)(H₂O)₅] _n (2) (2-mBIM = bis(2-methylimidazo-1-yl)methane, C₄H₄O₄= succinate), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 9.0770(5) Å, b = 9.4043(4) Å, c = 19.8720(9) Å, α = 101.551(1)°, β = 93.498(1)°, γ = 108.484(1)°, V = 1562.02(13) ų, and Z = 2. Each Cd(II) is octahedrally coordinated and connected with two adjacent Cd(II)'s by double end-to-end thiocyanate bridges, resulting in the formation of 1-D zigzag chains, linked to each other via bridging 2-mBIM giving a 2-D supramolecular framework. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 12.6543(6) Å, b = 7.7128(4) Å, c = 17.3089(9) Å, β = 109.3980(10)°, V = 1593.45(14) ų, and Z = 2. Cd(II) is coordinated with oxygen and nitrogens from two independent 2-mBIM, in a cis-configuration to form a 1-D helical structure. A 3-D supramolecular network comprised of succinate anion bridged 1-D helical chains, and weak hydrogen bonds between dimer waters gave 2-D layers.
