Ag(I) and Zn(II) coordination polymers with a bulky naphthalene-based dicarboxyl tecton and different 4,4'-bipyridyl-like bridging co-ligands: structural regulation and properties

A series of six Ag(I) and Zn(II) coordination polymers, namely, [Ag(2)(ndc)](∞) (1), {[Zn(ndc)(H(2)O)](H(2)O)}(∞) (2), {[Ag(2)(ndc)(4bpy)(2)][Ag(4bpy)(H(2)O)](ClO(4))(H(2)O)(2)}(∞) (3), [Zn(5)(ndc)(4)(4bpy)(2)(μ(3)-OH)(2)](∞) (4), {[Ag(ndc)(abp)][Ag(abp)](H(2)O)(3)}(∞) (5), and {[Zn(2)(ndc)(2)(abp)(H(2)O)(2)](H(2)O)(2)}(∞) (6), have been prepared by using 2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (H(2)ndc), an analogue of 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H(2)bdc), and different 4,4'-bipyridyl-like bridging co-ligands 4,4'-bipyridine (4bpy) and trans-4,4'-azobis(pyridine) (abp). The initial complexes 1 and 2 display the unusual two-dimensional (2-D) five-connected (4(8).6(2)) and the 2-D three-connected (4.8(2)) coordination networks, respectively. When two comparable rod-like linkers 4bpy and abp (with different N,N'-donor separations of the molecular backbones of ca. 7 and 9 ?) are further introduced, two one-dimensional (1-D) complexes 3 and 5, a three-dimensional (3-D) coordination framework 4 with (4(3))(4(3).6(3))(4(3).6(5).8(2))(4(4).6(4).8(2))(4(10).6(5)) topology and a 2-D 6(3) layered coordination polymer 6 are constructed. A structural comparison of these complexes with those based on the structurally related bdc ligand suggests that the extended π-conjugated system of ndc with different electronic nature and steric bulk play an important role in constructing the supramolecular architectures for 1-6, which are also regulated by different bridging N-donor co-ligands and metal ions. Moreover, complexes 1-6 show strong solid-state luminescence emissions at room temperature that mainly originate from the intraligand transitions of ndc.

Complex 1 displays a novel (3,4,7)-connected {4.6(2)}{4.6(5)}{4(2).6(13).8(5).10} topology, in which the carboxylic groups of the mpda(4-) ligand adopt variable coordination modes. In 1, besides Ag-O coordination bonding, AgAg and Agaromatic intermolecular interactions also make their appearance. In complexes 2-4, rare architectures comprising three or four isolated coordination polymers within the same crystalline structure have been obtained, respectively. In 2 and 3, neighboring layers are linked together through water tapes into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture, which is also consolidated by π···π stacking, while independent infinite rod-like polymer chains fill the void space between layers. Interestingly, an anionic (H(2)O-NO(3)(-))(n) layer, built from water tapes and nitrate anions as well as consolidated by the mpda(4-) ligands, has been structurally identified in compound 2. A new water tape constructed from alternating tetramers and decamers has been obtained in compound 3. In compound 4, a right-handed helical chain and two rod-like polymeric chains are interconnected through host-guest molecular recognition to generate a three-dimensional chiral supramolecular architecture. Bulk materials for 1 and 4 have second-harmonic generation activity, being approximately 0.6 and 0.4 times that of urea. The IR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis and luminescent properties of all compounds were also investigated.     

Various forms of linear dipyridyls in discrete rectangles, dinuclear rods, and one-dimensional networks containing (eta5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)rhodium(III)

[Cp*Rh(eta1-NO3)(eta2-NO3)] (1) reacted with pyrazine (pyz) to give a dinuclear complex [Cp*Rh(eta1-NO3)(mu-pyz)(0.5)]2.CH2Cl2(3.CH2Cl2).

Treating complex with NH4SCN and dipyridyl led to the formation of dinuclear rods, [Cp*Rh(eta1-SCN)3]2(LH2) (5a: L = bpy; 5b: L = bpe), in which two Cp*Rh(eta1-SCN)3 units are connected by the diprotonated dipyridyl (LH2(2+)) through N(+)-H...N hydrogen bonds. Reactions of complex 2 with 1-(trimethylsilyl)imidazole (TMSIm) and dipyridyl (bpy or bpe) also produced another family of dinuclear rods [Cp*Rh(ImH)3]2.L (6a: L = bpy; 6b: L = bpe). Treating 1 and 2 with TMSIm and NH4SCN (in the absence of dipyridyl) generated a 1-D chain [Cp*Rh(ImH)3](NO3)2 (7) and a 1-D helix [Cp*Rh(eta1-SCN)2(eta1-SHCN)].H2O (8.H2O), respectively. The structures of complexes 3.CH2Cl2, 4a.H2O, 4c.2H2O, 5b, 6a, 7 and 8.H2O were determined by X-ray diffraction.

Self-assembly of silver(I) salts and three ortho-hydroxyl and carboxyl groups decorated arenesulfonic acids affords the formation of nine silver(I)-sulfonates, (NH(4))·[Ag(HL1)(NH(3))(H(2)O)] (1), {(NH(4))·[Ag(3)(HL1)(2)(NH(3))(H(2)O)]}(n) (2), [Ag(2)(HL1)(H(2)O)(2)](n) (3), [Ag(2)(HL2)(NH(3))(2)]·H(2)O (4), [Ag(H(2)L2)(H(2)O)](n) (5), [Ag(2)(HL2)](n) (6), [Ag(3)(L3)(NH(3))(3)](n) (7), [Ag(2)(HL3)](n) (8), and [Ag(6)(L3)(2)(H(2)O)(3)](n) (9) (H(3)L1 = 2-hydroxyl-3-carboxyl-5-bromobenzenesulfonic acid, H(3)L2 = 2-hydroxyl-4-carboxylbenzenesulfonic acid, H(3)L3 = 2-hydroxyl-5-carboxylbenzenesulfonic acid), which are characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TGA, PL, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is 3-D supramolecular network extended by [Ag(HL1)(NH(3))(H(2)O)](-) anions and NH(4)(+) cations. Complex 2 exhibits 3-D host-guest framework which encapsulates ammonium cations as guests. Complex 3 presents 2-D layer structure constructed from 1-D tape of sulfonate-bridged Ag1 dimers linked by [(Ag2)(2)(COO)(2)] binuclear units. Complex 4 exhibits 3-D hydrogen-bonding host-guest network which encapsulates water molecules as guests. Complex 5 shows 3-D hybrid framework constructed from organic linker bridged 1-D Ag-O-S chains while complex 6 is 3-D pillared layered framework with the inorganic substructure constructing from the Ag2 polyhedral chains interlinked by Ag1 dimers and sulfonate tetrahedra. The hybrid 3-D framework of complex 7 is formed by L3(-) trianions bridging short trisilver(I) sticks and silver(I) chains. Complex 8 also presents 3-D pillared layered framework, and the inorganic layer substructure is formed by the sulfonate tetrahedrons bridging [(Ag1O(4))(2)(Ag2O(5))(2)](∞) motifs. Complex 9 represents the first silver-based metal-polyhedral framework containing four kinds of coordination spheres with low coordination numbers. The structural diversities and evolutions can be attributed to the synthetic methods, different ligands and coordination modes of the three functional groups, that is, sulfonate, hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. The luminescent properties of the nine complexes have also been investigated at room temperature, especially, complex 1 presents excellent blue luminescence and can sensitize Tb(III) ion to exhibit characteristic green emission.     

2-D interwoven and 3-D 5-fold interpenetrating silver(I) complexes of 1-(isocyanidomethyl)-1H-benzotriazole and 1,3-bis(dicyanomethylidene)indan

This paper presents novel and distinctive organosilver polymers with intriguing structure motifs, constructed from iodoacetonitrile (L1), 1-(isocyanidomethyl)-1H-benzotriazole (L2), 1,3-bis(dicyanomethylidene)indan (L3), and silver(I) salts, respectively. Treatment of L1 with AgClO4 generated [Ag(L1)(ClO4)]n (1), whose X-ray determination revealed a 2-D wavy sheet structure with square grids. Reaction of L2 with AgPF6 gave rise to a novel 2-D wavy interwoven network, ([Ag(L2)(PO2F2)0.5])n (2). The complex [Ag2(L3)2]n (3) obtained by reaction of AgClO4 with L3 can be regarded as unprecedented 3-D 5-fold interpenetrating nets with columnar aromatic stacks and indicates semiconductive behavior. The IR, ESR spectroscopic results, conductivities, and structural features of the complexes are discussed, respectively. The present findings may provide insight into the coordination versatility of silver(I) and polynitrile ligands and an inspiration for the self-assembly of novel supramolecular networks with multifunctional ligands.

The First Example of a Supramolecular Structure Containing [2-（1H-Pyrazol-3-yl）-pyridine] Complex and both α- and β-Octamolybdates

The title compound, [Ni（C8N3H7）3]4[Mo8O26]2·6H2O 1, has been synthesized from the reaction of 2-（1H-pyrazol-3-yl）-pyridine （L） with （NH4）2MoO4·2H2O and NiCl2·6H2O. Elemental analysis, IR, UV spectra and X-ray single-crystal diffraction were carried out to determine the composition and crystal structure of the compound. Crystal data： C96H96Mo16N36Ni4O58, Mr = 4451.97, monoclinic system, space group P21/n, a = 20.846（5）, b = 14.825（5）, c = 23.122（5） A ,β= 91.594（5）°, V = 7143（3）A^3, Z = 2, F（000） = 4344, Dc = 2.070 g/cm^3,μ = 1.968 mm^-1, R = 0.0452 and wR = 0.1056 for 17102 independent reflections （Rint = 0.0442） and 11074 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））. Structural analysis indicates that two kinds of octamolybdates （[α-Mo8026]^4- and [β-Mo8026]^4-） co-exist in the compound. This is the first example of a supramolecular structure containing L complex as well as both α- and β-octamolybdate clusters.
