Synthesis and Structural Characterization of a Novel Coordination Polymer [Cd(C4H2O4)(C3H4N2)3]n·2nH2O

At room temperature, a new three-dimensional organic-inorganic coordination polymer [Cd(C4H2O4)(C3H4N2)3]n·2nH2O was synthesized by the reaction of Cd(CH3COO)2(2H2O, imidazole and fumaric acid. It was characterized by EA, IR, TG-DTA and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 8.980(3), b = 15.803(5), c = 13.415(4) (A), α = γ = 90.00°, β = 98.450(5)°, F(000) = 936, Mr = 466.73, Z = 4, V = 1883.0(10) (A)3, Dc = 1.646 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 1.201 mm-1, S = 1.041, the final R = 0.0237 and wR = 0.0469. The crystal structure shows that the cadmium has a distorted octahedral environment with three carboxyl oxygen donors and three imidazole nitrogen donors. Each cadmium atom is linked by a fumatate as bridging ligand to afford a one-dimensional framework, and then an infinite threedimensional supramolecular network is formed through hydrogen bonding interactions.

In the [Cd(H₂O)₄]²⁺ cation, the bridged Cd is six-coordinated, yielding an almost standard octahedral conformation. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system with P2₁/n space group. The crystal data are as follows: a = 9.098(3), b = 16.442(6), c = 12.023(4) Å, β = 91.053(6)°, V = 1798.3(12) ų, Z = 2, ρ = 2.098 g/cm³, μ = 2.086 mm^?1, F(000) =1124, R = 0.0406 and wR = 0.1152 for 3680 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I).

Synthesis, crystal structure, and thermal stability of [Mo2O4(μ2-O)(C6H4O2)2(H2O)] · (C8H9N2)2 · 2H2O

From hydrothermal treatment of benzene-1,2-diamine, pyrocatechol, and MoO₃ in acetic acid solution, a new compound, [Mo₂(μ₂-O)₂(C₆H₄O₂)₂(H₂O)] · (C₈H₉N₂)₂ · 2H₂O (I), constructed from pyrocatechol chelated dinuclear molybdenum units and 2-methylbenzimidazole has been synthesized.

Interestingly, an in situ condensation between acetic acid and benzene-1,2-diamine has occurred, and the unexpected 2-methyl-1-H-benzo[d] imidazoles serve as counterions and N-H donors to form stable hydrogen-bond network in the crystal. Furthermore, intermolecular hydrogen bonds are found among the cations, anions and crystalline water molecules. The double nuclear molybdenum units are connected by O-H...O hydrogen bonds with the crystalline water molecules to form one-dimensional chains, and the chains are further joined together by N-H...O to form a quasi-two dimensional structure.     

New 1D and 2D metal oxygen connectivities in Cu(II) succinato and glutarato coordination polymers: [Cu3(H2O)2(OH)2(C4H4O4)2] · 4H2O, [Cu4(H2O)2(OH)4(C4H4O4)2] · 5H2O and [Cu5(OH)6(C5H6O4)2] · 4H2O

Two Cu(II) hydroxo succinates [Cu₃(H₂O)₂(OH)₂(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Cu₄(H₂O)₂(OH)₄(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?5H₂O (2) and one Cu(II) hydroxo glutarate [Cu₅(OH)₆(C₅H₆O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (3) have been prepared and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. They feature 1D and 2D copper oxygen connectivity of elongated {CuO₆} octahedra in “4?+?1?+?1” and “4?+?2” coordination geometries. Within 1, linear trimers of three edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra are connected into copper oxygen chains, which are bridged by the anti conformational succinate anions to generate 2D layers with mono terminally coordinating gauche succinate anions on both sides. The layers are assembled into a 3D framework by interlayer hydrogen bonds with lattice H₂O molecules distributed in channels. Different from 1, the principal building units in 2 are linear tetramers of four edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra. The tetramers are condensed into copper oxygen chains and the succinate anions interlink them into a 3D framework with triangular channels filled by lattice H₂O molecules. The {CuO₆} octahedra in 3 are edge-shared to form unprecedented 2D inorganic layers with mono terminally coordinating glutarate anions on both sides. Interlayer hydrogen bonding interactions are responsible for supramolecular assembly of the layers into a 3D framework with lattice H₂O molecules in the channels. The inorganic layers in 3 can be described as hexagonal close packing of oxygen atoms with the Cu atoms in the octahedral cavities. The title compounds were further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermal analyses.

Reaction of a freshly prepared Ni(OH)_{2?2 x} (CO₃) _x ·yH₂O with maleic acid in H₂O at room temperature afforded [Ni(H₂O)₆][Ni(H₂O)₂(C₄H₂O₄)]·4H₂O, which consists of [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cations, [Ni(H₂O)₂(C₄H₂O₄)]^2? anions and lattice H₂O molecules. Ni atoms in cations are octahedrally coordinated and Ni atoms in anions are each octahedrally coordinated by bidentate chelating maleato ligands and two water molecules at trans positions. Cations and anions are interlinked by hydrogen bonds to form 1D chains, which are hexagonally arranged and connected by the lattice water molecules. When heated in a flowing argon stream, the compound decomposes, with complete dehydration being followed by dissociation of nickel maleate into NiO and maleic anhydride.

X-ray crystal-structure analysis suggests that compound 1 consists of [Ti4O4(C2O4)7]6－ anion and two protonated N-(2-ammonioethyl)piperazinium cations. The anions are linked into an infinite chain through Ti4O4(C2O4)8 by sharing the oxalates as bridging ligands.

The Cd²⁺ coordination polyhedron in 1 is a CdO₆ trigonal prism, including one coordinated water. The Pb²⁺ coordination polyhedron in 2 can be described as a very distorted square-based PbO₅ pyramid, although two additional short Pb?···?O (<3.1?Å) contacts are also present.

Different coordination patterns for two related unsymmetrical compartmental ligands: crystal structures and IR analysis of [Cu(C21H21O2N3)(OH2)(ClO4)]ClO4·2H2O and [Zn2(C22H21O3N2)(C22H20O3N2)]ClO4

The crystal structures of the new complexes [Cu(HL1)(OH₂)(ClO₄)]ClO₄·2H₂O (1) and [Zn₂(HL2)(L2)]ClO₄ (2), derived from two related, phenol-based compartmental ligands, are described. Compound 2 constitutes the first report of a complex obtained from H₂L2. The metal compounds are structurally different; 2 is a dimer in which all the heteroatoms of the ligand take part in coordination, while 1 is mononuclear containing a pair of cis-oriented ligands that complete an “open” coordination sphere, in which the aldehyde group of HL1 is not involved. The protonation status of the central phenol groups of HL1 and H₂L2 are also dissimilar between the complexes. Infrared vibrational analyses of both complexes, as well as their respective ligands, were performed to connect the observed spectral features with the structural properties of the solids. While some distinctive bands shifted upon complexation, it was not possible to confirm involvement of the aromatic aldehyde group in coordination by this technique. ¹H NMR experiments involving 2 suggest that its particular protonation status is maintained upon dissolution in d₆-DMSO.     

Synthesis and structure of two molybdovanadates containing coordinatively bound oxalato ligands: (NH4)6[Mo6V2O24(C2O4)2]·6H2O and (NH4)4[H2Mo2V2O12(C2O4)2]·2H2O

Whereas the molybdovanadate anion [Mo₆V₂O₂₄(C₂O₄)₂]⁶⁻ found in (I) consists of six MoO₆ and two VO₆ edge-sharing octahedra of the γ-[Mo₈O₂₆]⁴⁻ type structure, the tetranuclear anion [H₂Mo₂V₂O₁₂(C₂O₄)₂]⁴⁻ of (II) adopts the structure with a M₄O₁₆ core. Both complexes contain bidentate oxalato ligands bonded to the vanadium ions. In both crystal structures the molybdovanadate anions are mutually hydrogen bonded by ammonium ions and water molecules.

Vanadium Haloperoxidases Model Compounds: Synthesis,Structural Characterization and Mimic Catalytic Bromination Activity of [VO(C2O4)(2,2′-bipy)(H2O)]·C2H5OH and VO(C2O4)(phen)(H2O)

Two oxo-vanadium(IV) complexes, [VO(C₂O₄)(2,2′-bipy)(H₂O)]·C₂H₅OH(1) and VO(C₂O₄)(phen)(H₂O) (2), where 2,2′-bipy=2,2′-bipyridyl, phen=1,10-phenanthroline, were synthesized as potential functional models of vanadium haloperoxidases(VHPOs) in mixed solvent of ethanol and water at room temperature. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared(IR), UV-Vis and X-ray crystallography. Structural analyses showed that vanadium atom was coordinated by a terminal oxygen, one oxygen atom from coordinated water, two oxygen atoms from the carboxylate group of oxalic acid, and two nitrogen atoms(N1 and N2) from 2,2′-bipy/phen. Central vanadium atoms in complexes 1 and 2 were both in a distorted-octahedral environment, and some intermolecular hydrogen bonding linkages were also observed in each complex. Bromination reaction activity of the two complexes was evaluated with phenol red as organic substrate in the presence of H₂O₂, Br^- and phosphate buffer, indicating that they can be considered as a potential functional model of VHPO. In addition, thermal analysis was also performed and discussed in detail.
