Syntheses,Structures and Band Gaps of KLnSiS4 （Ln = Sm,Yb）

Two new quaternary sulfides, KSmSiS4 （1） and KYbSiS4 （2）, have been synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction. Single,crystal X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that both compounds crystallize in the space group P21/m, and the crystal data are as follows： a = 6.426（11）, b = 6.582（11）, c = 8.602（15）A, β= 107.90（13）°, Z = 2, V= 346.2（10） A^3, Dc = 3.317 g/cm^3, F（000） = 318,μ（MoKα） = 10.334 mm^-1, the final R = 0.0559 and wR = 0.1370 for 1; and α= 6.3244（10）, b = 6.5552（10）, c = 8.5701（15）A, β= 108.001（13）°, Z = 2, V = 337.91（9） A^3, De= 3.621 g/cm^3, F（000） = 334, μ（MoKα） = 15.737 mm^-1, the final R = 0.0422 and wR = 0.0960 for 2. The KLnSiS4 （Ln = Sm, Yb） structure consists of corrugated ∞^2 [LnSiS4]^- layers which are formed by edge-sharing LnS8 bicapped trigonal prisms and SiS4 tetrahedra. The K^＋ cations are located in the cavities defined by S2 anions between the ∞^2[LnSiS4]^- layers. Band-gap analyses show that compounds 1 and 2 are semiconductors with optical band-gaps of 2.40 and 2.34 eV, respectively.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Complexes [Cu（C14H8S3O4Br）] （C4H9NO） and[Ni（C14H9N2O3Br）]（C4H9NO）

The title compounds, Cu（L1）（C4H8NHO） and Ni（L2）（C4H8NHO） （H2L1 = 5-bromosalicylaldehyde-p-nitrobenzoylhydrazone, H2L2 = 5-bromosalicylaldehyde-p-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone）, have been obtained and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 belongs to the triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 8.6960（2）, b = 9.957（2）, c = 11.878（2）A, α = 73.36（3）, β = 78.25（3）, γ = 82.64（3）°, V = 962.1（3） A^3, Mr= 512.81, Z = 2, F（000） = 514, Dc = 1.770 g/cm^3,μ（MoKα） = 3.251, R = 0.0337 and wR = 0.0846. Complex 2 is of monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 13.313（2）, b = 8.2096（1）, c = 21.890（3） A,β = 125.737（3）°, V = 1941.9（4） A^3, Mr= 478.97, Z = 4, F（000） = 968, Dc = 1.638 g/cm^3,μ（MoKα） = 3.085, R = 0.0356 and wR = 0.0817. The ligands form a satisfactory N2O2 square plane around the metal centers in two compounds. Different patterns of hydrogen bonds are observed owing to the presence of different substituents on aromatic ring of the acylhydrazone Schiff bases. In complex 1, square-planar copper（Ⅱ） complexes are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds leading to zigzag infinite chains. In complex 2, the metal complexes are linked via hydrogen bonds to form corrugated sheets in a staggered fashion; 3D channels along the b axis are constructed through other non-covalent interactions between the neighboring layers.     

Syntheses, Crystal Structures and Magnetic Properties of a New Nitronyl Nitroxide Radical and Its Cu(Ⅱ) Complex

A new compound (NIT-mNO2 = 4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-2-yl-(2'-chlor-5'- nitrophenyl)-3-oxide-1-oxyl) 1 and its complex (Cu(NIT-mNO2)(hfac)2) 2 have been synthesized and structurally and magnetically characterized. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/n with a = 10.6798(9), b = 11.2705(9), c = 12.9559(10) , β = 107.3770(10)o, V = 1488.3(2) 3, C13H15ClN3O4, Mr = 312.73, Z = 4, Dc = 1.396 g/cm3, μ(MoKa) = 0.276 mm-1, F(000) = 652, the final R = 0.0606 and wR = 0.1773 for 3405 independent reflections with Rint = 0.0203. The nitronyl nitroxide unit (imidazoline ring) is not coplanar with the phenyl ring with the dihedral angle between them of 55.75o. The compound results in a 1-D zig-zag chain structure by intermolecular H-bond interaction. Compound 2 crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 10.3699(10), b = 10.6286(11), c = 15.1683(15), α = 77.5330(10), β = 773080(10), γ = 87.3420(10)o, V = 1592.5(3) 3, C23H17ClF12N3O8Cu, Mr = 790.39, Z = 2, Dc = 1.648 g/cm3, μ(MoKa) = 0.888 mm-1, F(000) = 788, the final R = 0.0793 and wR = 0.2153 for 5794 independent reflections with Rint = 0.0196. The Cu(II) ion is located at a center of symmetry, and each Cu(II) is surrounded by six oxygen atoms at the vertices of a distorted tetragonal octahedron. Four of the six oxygen atoms belong to two hfac ligands and occupy the equatorial coordination sites, while the other two of NIT-mNO2 act as μ-1,5 bridge between the Cu(II) ion, thus forming a 1-D chain structure. The magnetic susceptibility data indicate intermolecular antiferromagnetic interactions between compound 1 and intrachain ferromagnetic behaviors.
