Synthesis and Characterization of Two Pb(II) Complexes of 2,2′-dihydroxy,Dimethoxy-1,1′-binaphthyl-3,3′-dicarboxylic Acid

Two new complexes {[Pb(L¹)(DMSO)₂(H₂O)]·DMF}_n (1, L¹ = 2,2′-dihydroxy-l,l′-dinaphthyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate) and {[Pb(L²)(DMS O)·DMSO}_n (2, L² = 2,2′-dimethoxy-l,l′-dinaphthyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate) have been synthesized under mild conditions and structurally characterized. Crystal structural analysis reveals that complex 1 adopts a 1D infinite chain structure which forms 2D sheet by hydrogen bonds interactions. Complex 2 possesses a 2D sheet structure, which was further assembled into a 3D supramolecular network through the π-π weak interactions. IR spectra indicates the carboxyl group coordinates with the Pb²⁺ ion. TGA shows that complex 2 is highly thermally stable up to 120°C.

The title compound has been synthesized and its crystal structure has been solved at room temperature. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space groupP, witha=7.853(1) Å,b=10.177(1) Å,c=13.651(4) Å,=74.57(1)°,=88.49(1)°, =80.675(4)°, andZ=2.

The temperature dependence of the molar magnetic susceptibility has been investigated in the 300-2.2 K temperature range.

Abstract  

The reaction of the organic ligand, 4-quinolineacarboxylate (L) with Pr(ClO₄)₃·6H₂O and Dy(ClO₄)₃·6H₂O, leads to the formation of two novel complexes [Pr₂(L)₆(H₂O)₄]2H₂O 1 and [Dy₂(L)₆(H₂O)₄]2H₂O 2, which have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, with a = 11.805(2), b = 16.645(3), c = 15.367(3) ?, β = 106.78(3)°, V = 2891.1(10) ?³, Z = 4 for 1, monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, with a = 11.629(2), b = 16.478(3), c = 5.336(3) ?, β = 105.83°, V = 2827.4(10) ?³, Z = 4). The two isostructure complexes are binuclear and possess an inversion center which is at the midpoint of the linkage of two symmetrical La(III) centers. In two complexes, each metal center adopts nine-coordinated mode coordinated by nine O atoms from two H₂O molecules and three carboxyls of three ligands, and L displays three different coordination modes. Hydrogen bonds join the binuclear complexes into 3D networks.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structures and Thermal Analysis of Two New Silver(I)–Dithioether Lamellar Coordination Polymers

Abstract  Two new silver(I)–dithioether coordination polymers based on the self-assembly of the dithioether ligands L ^{n −R} = CH₃–S(CH₂) _n S–CH₃ (n = 1, 3) and AgX silver salts, where X = ClO₄ ⁻ (1) and PF₆ ⁻ (2), have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and TGA. The crystallographic data of those complexes are: (1) Monoclinic P2₁/c; a = 16.5861(3) ?; b = 10.1048(2) ?; c = 15.7843(3) ?; β = 112.570(1)°; V = 2442.83(8) ?³; Z = 4. (2) Monoclinic P2₁/n; a = 8.6500(2) ?; b = 9.4053(2) ?; c = 24.0357(6) ?; β = 92.750(2)°; V = 1953.19(8) ?³; Z = 4. In both complexes, the dithioether building blocks propagated the silver(I) centers to build cationic lamellar coordination polymers, while ClO₄ ⁻ and PF₆ ⁻, which were sandwiched between silver-ligand sheets, counterbalance only the charge of the networks. The thermogravimetric investigation reveals that those complexes decompose in a single step respectively to metallic silver and silver salt. Index Abstract  Two new silver(I)–dithioether coordination polymers, obtained from the self-assembly of dithioether ligands and AgX salts with noncoordinating counteranions (X = ClO₄ ⁻ and PF₆ ⁻), were characterized by X-ray crystallography and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Structures of nitrato-(2-hydroxybenzaldehydo) (2,2′-bipyridyl)copper and nitrato-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehydo)(2,2′-bipyridyl)copper

Nitrato-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehydo)(2,2′-bipyridyl)copper (I) and nitrato-(2-hydroxybenzaldehydo)(2,2′-bipyridyl)copper (II) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The coordination polyhedron of the central copper atom in complex I can be described as a distorted tetragonal pyramid whose base is formed by the phenol and carbonyl oxygen atoms of the monodeprotonated 2-hydroxy-5nitrobenzaldehyde molecule and the nitrogen atoms of the 2,2′-bipyridyl ligand and whose apex is occupied by the oxygen atom of the nitrato group. In the crystal structure, complexes I are linked by the acido ligands and the NO₂ groups of the aldehyde molecule into infinite chains. In complex II, the central copper atom is coordinated by 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2,2′-bipyridyl, and the nitrato group, resulting in the formation of centrosymmetric dimers. The coordination polyhedron of the central copper atom can be described as a bipyramid (4 + 1 + 1) with the same base as in complex I. The axial vertices of the bipyramid are occupied by the oxygen atom of the nitrato group and the bridging phenol oxygen atom of the adjacent complex related to the initial complex by a center of symmetry. In the crystal structure, complexes II are hydrogen bonded into infinite chains.
