Bimetallic assemblies, [Ni(en)2]3[M(CN)6]2·3H2O (en = H2NCH2CH2NH2; M = Fe,Co)

The reaction between tris(ethyl­enedi­amine)­nickel(II) cations and hexa­cyanometallate(III) anions (M = Fe, Co) yields ordered bimetallic assemblies, catena‐poly­[[tris­(ethyl­enedi­amine)­nickel‐bis(μ‐hexa­cyano­iron‐N,N′)] trihydrate] and catena‐poly­[[tris­(ethyl­enedi­amine)­nickel‐bis(μ‐hexa­cyano­cobalt‐N,N′)] trihydrate], [{Ni(C₂H₈N₂)₂}₃{M(CN)₆}₂]·3H₂O, in which both cis and trans [Ni(en)₂] and [M(CN)₆] moieties are linked to give S‐shaped Ni–NC–M–CN–Ni–NC–M–CN–Ni units which are cross­linked to give ribbons parallel to the b axis. The two compounds are isomorphous with mean metal–ligand distances Fe—C = 1.940 (3), Co—C = 1.844 (3) and Ni—N = 2.102 (2) Å for the iron, and 2.105 (3) Å for the cobalt compound. These compounds appear to be identical with those formulated as [Ni(en)₂]₃[M(CN)₆]₂·2H₂O [Ohba, Maruona, Okawa, Enoki & Latour (1994). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 116 , 11566–11567; Ohba, Fukita & Okawa (1997). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 1733–1737] which were indexed on a smaller unit cell and described as disordered.

The infrared spectra of lithium nitroprusside dihydrate,Li2[Fe(CN)5NO].2H2O

The IR spectra of the title compound in the polycrystalline state, both normal and with different degrees of deuteration, were obtained at room and liquid air temperatures. The anion and water molecules' vibrational bands were assigned. The data show that the anion is located in sites of C₁ symmetry and that the hydration water molecules are strongly asymmetric, forming weak hydrogen bonds. At least one of the water molecules is coordinated to the cation.     

Syntheses,crystal structures and magnetic properties of two cyano-bridged two-dimensional assemblies [Fe(salpn)]2 [Fe(CN)5NO] and [Fe(salpn)]2[Ni(CN)4]

Two cyano-bridged assemblies, [Fe^III(salpn)]₂[Fe^II(CN)₅NO] (1) and [Fe^III (salpn)]₂[Ni^II(CN)₄] (2) [salpn = N, N-1,2-propylenebis(salicylideneiminato)dianion], have been prepared and structurally and magnetically characterized. In each complex, [Fe(CN)₅NO]^2– or [Ni(CN)₄]^2– coordinates with four [Fe(salpn)]⁺ cations using four co-planar CN^– ligands, whereas each [Fe(salpn)]⁺ links two [Fe(CN)₅NO]^2– or [Ni(CN)₄]^2– ions in the trans form, which results in a two-dimensional (2D) network consisting of pillow-like octanuclear [—M^II—CN—Fe^III—NC—]₄ units (M = Fe or Ni). In complex (1), the NO group of [Fe(CN)₅NO]^2– remains monodentate and the bond angle of Fe^II—N—O is 180.0°. The variable temperature magnetic susceptibilities, measured in the 5–300 K range, show weak intralayer antiferromagnetic interactions in both complexes with the intramolecular iron(III)iron(III) exchange integrals of –0.017 cm^–1 for (1) and –0.020 cm^–1 for (2), respectively.     

Synthesis of Isotope Enriched (CN3H6)2[57Fe(CN)5NO] starting from 57Fe

A high‐yield, mmolar‐scale synthesis of pure guanidinium nitroprusside, (CN₃H₆)₂[⁽⁵⁷⁾Fe(CN)₅NO] (GNP) from iron metal is described. The iron metal contained pieces of 95.3% ⁵⁷Fe together with normal iron so that an isotope enrichment in ⁵⁷Fe of 25% was achieved. Single‐crystals of GNP could be grown in cubic shape and dimensions of about 3 × 4 × 4 mm³. The purity of the GNP product and the intermediates K₄[⁽⁵⁷⁾Fe(CN)₆] · 3 H₂O and Na₂[⁽⁵⁷⁾Fe(CN)₅NO] · 2 H₂O was ascertained by ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy as well as ¹³C, ¹⁴N and ⁵⁷Fe NMR spectroscopy. The ⁵⁷Fe NMR chemical shift for [⁽⁵⁷⁾Fe(CN)₅NO]^2– in GNP was detected at +2004.0 ppm [vs Fe(CO)₅].     

Das thermische Verhalten von Na5[Fe(CN)5SO3]·2H2O

The thermal behaviour of Na₅[Fe(CN)₅SO₃]·2H₂O has been investigated by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. Detailed studies of the decomposition residues using various physicochemical methods show that decomposition occurs in a manner similar to that previously postulated for related compounds.     

Hydrogen storage properties of metal nitroprussides M[Fe(CN)5NO], (M = Co, Ni)

The volumetric hydrogen adsorption isotherms of two isostructural dehydrated cubic metal nitroprussides M[Fe(CN)5NO] (M = Co2+, Ni2+) have been measured up to a pressure of 760 Torr at 77 and 87 K. These materials are among the most efficient H2 sorbents based on porous coordination polymers reported to date. The H2 uptake in both materials is approximately 1.6 wt % at 77 K and 760 torr. These H2 capacities match those reported recently in the structurally related M3[Co(CN)6]2 compounds and are approximately 25% higher than those reported for Zn4O(1,4-benzenedicarboxylate)3 under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. The isosteric heats of H2 adsorption calculated from the 77 and 87 K isotherms for both materials were found to vary from approximately 7.5 kJ/mol at 0.40 wt % coverage to approximately 5.5 kJ/mol at 1.2 wt % coverage. The N2 BET surface areas were determined to be 634 m2/g and 523 m2/g for M = Ni and M = Co, respectively.

Crystal structures and magnetic properties of new cyano-bridged two-dimensional grid-like bimetallic assemblies [Ni(tn)2]2[Cr(CN)5((NO)]OH*H2O and [NI(tn)2]2[Co(CN)6]NO3*2H2O (tn=1,3-propanediamine)

Two bimetallic assemblies, [Ni(tn)(2)](2)[Cr(CN)(5)(NO)]OH.H(2)O (1) and [Ni(tn)(2)](2)[Co(CN)(6)]NO(3).2H(2)O (2) (tn = 1,3-diaminopropane), have been prepared and structurally and magnetically characterized. Crystal data for 1 (2): space group P1 (P1), a = 8.698(3) (8.937(2)) A, b = 10.001(2) (9.863(1)) A, c = 10.158(2) (10.064(1)) A, alpha = 87.40(2) (86.064(10)) degrees, beta = 65.10(2) (65.489(10)) degrees, gamma = 81.63(2) (81.572(12)) degrees and Z = 1 (1). Both structures consist of two-dimensional grid-like polycations containing Ni-N triple bond C-M linkages (M = Cr or Co) and counteranions (OH, NO(3)). Magnetic studies of 1 showed that the complex displays a metamagnetic behavior originating from intralayer ferromagnetic and interlayer antiferromagnetic interactions. Long-range antiferromagnetic ordering was observed at T(N) = 3.3 K. Complex 2 exhibits intramolecular ferromagnetic interactions through the diamagnetic N triple bond C-Co-N triple bond C bridges, owing to superexchange involving the empty d(sigma) orbital of the diamagnetic Co(III) ion.     

Pressure effects on a dimetallic ferrimagnet [Mn(en)]3[Cr(CN)6]2 · 4H2O

We have investigated pressure effects on a dimetallic ferrimagnet [Mn(en)]₃[Cr(CN)₆]₂ · 4H₂O (en; ethylenediamine) through the magnetic measurements using a diamond anvil cell in the pressure region up to P = 4.7 GPa. This ferrimagnetic compound has an eminent high transition temperature (Tc) of 69 K at ambient pressure in the structurally characterized molecule-based magnet system. Under hydrostatic pressure, Tc linearly increases against pressure, and exceeds 130 K at P = 4.7 GPa. The amount of the saturated moment hardly changes in the considered pressure region. This pressure experiment might become a prototype of artificial material control for the high-Tc molecule-based magnet.     

Hydrate isomerism in [Cu(en)2(H2O)1.935]2[Fe(CN)6]·4H2O

The title compound, bis[di­aqua­bis­(ethyl­enedi­amine‐κ²N,N′)copper(II)­] hexa­cyano­iron(II) tetrahydrate, [Cu(C₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)_1.935]₂[Fe(CN)₆]·4H₂O, was crystallized from an aqueous reaction mixture initially containing CuSO₄, K₃[Fe(CN)₆] and ethyl­enedi­amine (en) in a 3:2:6 molar ratio. Its structure is ionic and is built up of two crystallographically different cations, viz. [Cu(en)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ and [Cu(en)₂(H₂O)_1.87]²⁺, there being a deficiency of aqua ligands in the latter, [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ anions and disordered solvent water mol­ecules. All the metal atoms lie on centres of inversion. The Cu atom is octahedrally coordinated by two chelate‐bonded en mol­ecules [mean Cu—N = 2.016 (2) Å] in the equatorial plane, and by axial aqua ligands, showing very long distances due to the Jahn–Teller effect [mean Cu—O = 2.611 (2) Å]. In one of the cations, significant underoccupation of the O‐atom site is observed, correlated with the appearance of a non‐coordinated water mol­ecule. This is interpreted as the partial contribution of a hydrate isomer. The [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ anions form quite regular octahedra, with a mean Fe—C distance of 1.913 (2) Å. The dominant intermolecular interactions are cation–anion O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and these inter­actions form layers parallel to (001).     

Das Thermische Verhalten von Na3[Fe(CN)5SO(CH3)2] · H2O

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a two-dimensional mixed-valence assembly [Fe(salen)]2[Fe(CN)5NO]

A cyanide-bridged Fe^III–Fe^II mixed-valence assembly, [Fe^III(salen)]₂[Fe^II(CN)₅NO] [salen = N,N-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)dianion], prepared by slow diffusion of an aqueous solution of Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO] · 2H₂O and a MeOH solution of [Fe(salen)NO₃] in an H tube, has been characterized by X-ray structure analysis, i.r. spectra and magnetic measurements. The product assumes a two-dimensional network structure consisting of pillow-like octanuclear [—Fe^II—CN—Fe^III—NC—]₄ units with dimensions: Fe^II—C = 1.942(7) Å, C—N = 1.139(9) Å, Fe^III—N = 2.173(6) Å, Fe^II—C—N = 178.0(6)°, Fe^III—N—C = 163.4(6)°. The Fe^II—N—O bond angle is linear (180.0°). The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility, measured in the 4.8–300 K range, indicates the presence of a weak intralayer antiferromagnetic interaction and gives an Fe^III–Fe^III exchange integral of –0.033 cm^–1.     

新型化合物[Ni(en)3]2[Ni(en)2(H2O)2][As6V15O42]·4H2O晶体的水热合成与表征

金属氧酸盐因其在医药临床、工业催化、功能材料等方面的广泛应用而引起人们的关注[1～6], 其中, 有关钒化学的研究一直很活跃, 钒具有与钼、钨明显不同的结构特性, 钒可以采取VO4, VO5和VO6方式配位, 同时, 钒的价态可以是+3, +4和+5价. 由于钒可采取多种配位方式及多种价态, 与钼酸盐和钨酸盐相比, 钒酸盐更具有结构柔顺性, 同时易形成低价或混合价态物种.在以往的文献中, 有关P-V-O体系多金属氧酸盐的水热合成的研究已有大量的报道[7], 在常规溶液合成中, 人们已对As-V-O体系进行了相对深入的研究, 而有关水热合成的研究报道却很少, 已见报道的砷钒化合物有K6*6H2O[8,9], 4-[10], 6-[11](X=SO2-3, SO2-4, H2O). 为了探究水热条件下As-V-O体系的反应特性, 我们开展了这方面的研究工作, 并取得了突破性进展. 本文采用中温水热技术合成了含有机基团的砷矾超分子化合物2**4H2O, 探讨这类化合物的非线性光学性质、催化性质及其它功能特性将是一个非常有意义的研究领域.
