Mössbauer study on solid state photolysis of alkali tris(malonato)ferrates(III)

Solid state photolysis of alkali tris(malonato)ferrates(III), i.e., M₃[Fe(CH₂C₂O₄)₃]xH₂O (M=Li, Na, K, NH₄) has been studied employing Mössbauer, infrared and reflectance spectroscopic techniques. The complexes were irradiated for 300 hours using a medium pressure mercury vapour lamp of 250 W, Photodecomposition led to the formation of an iron(II) intermediate, M₂[Fe^II(CH₂C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂] (M=Li, Na, K) which on prolonged standing in air oxidized to M[Fe^III(CH₂C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]. However, in case of ammonium complex, Fe^IICH₂C₂O₄·2H₂O once formed remained stable. The extent of photoreduction showed the sequence: NH₄, K>Li>Na. The results have been compared with those of alkali tris (oxalato) ferrates(III).     

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Structure of Two New Mo(V)-Oxide Phosphates

Two new members of Mo(V) phosphates were synthesized by hydrothermal methods. (enH₂)(enH)[NaMo₁₂O₂₄(OH)₆(HPO₄)₂(H₂PO₄)₆]·(en)₄·20H₂O(1)(en=H₂ NCH₂CH₂NH₂)[HAD-H₂]₂[HAD-H]₂[Zn₃Mo₁₂O₂₄(OH)₆(PO₄)₂(HPO₄)₆]·6H₂O (2) (HAD=H₂N(CH₂)₆NH₂). Compound 1 crystallized in the space group P2(1)/n, a=15.93120(10) Å, b=15.8946(2) Å, c=17.0665(2) Å, V=4316.02(8), =92.9060(10)°, Z=2. Compound 2 crystallized in the space group P(–1) with a=12.3726(3) Å, b=14.1948(3) Å, c=14.2310(4) Å, =72.7100(10), =65.0230(10), =69.5600(10)°, Z=2089.70(9) ų, and Z=1. The structure of 1 consists of sandwich-shaped cluster anion [Na{Mo^V ₆O₁₂(OH)₃(HPO₄)(H₂PO₄)₃}₂]^3– ({Na(Mo ^V ₆ ) ₂ }) held together via intermolecular hydrogen-bonding contacts. For the compound 2, the sandwich-shaped clusters Zn[Mo₆O₁₂(OH)₃(PO₄)(HPO₄)₃]₂ ({Zn(Mo ^V ₆ ) ₂} are linked by tetrahedrally-coordinated zinc into layers. Organic cations ([H₃N(CH₂)₆NH₃]²⁺ and [H₃N(CH₂)₆NH₂]⁺) are filled in the spaces between lamellas. The layers are held together by a hydrogen-bonded network, which involves the terminal phosphate P-OH groups, as well as organic cations and several waters of solvation.     

Magnetic Properties of Tetra-Transition-Metal Substituted Weakley-Type Germanotungstates

Magnetic susceptibility investigations have been carried out on a family of the tetra-transition-metal sandwiched Weakley-type germanotungstates Na₁₁H[Co₄(H₂O)₂(α-GeW₉O₃₄)₂]·31H₂O (1), (C₆N₂H₁₈)₄[Co(H₂O)₆]H₂[Co₄(H₂O)₂(α-GeW₉O₃₄)₂]·5.5H₂O (2) and Na(H₂O)₂(C₆N₂H₁₈)_4.75H_1.5[Ni₄(H₂O)₂(α-GeW₉O₃₄)₂]·1.5H₂O (3) with the intention of studying the magnetic exchange properties of the rhomb-like four transition-metal ions in the central belt. The Co–Co and Ni–Ni ferromagnetic exchange interactions are dominant in the rhomb-like M₄O₁₆ units in 1–3. Furthermore, magnetic susceptibility measurements also reveal that the magnetic coupling constant J is a sensitive parameter that is closely realted to the M–O–M angles and M···M separations in the rhomb-like magnetic core. Variable-temperature ac susceptibilities exhibit that magnetic properties of 2 and 3 are related to the spin glassy behaviors.     

Hydrothermal synthesis of a mixed-valence hexamolybdate cluster: crystal structure of [HN(CH2CH2)3N]2[HMoVMoVI5O19]·[N(CH2CH2)3N]

The hydrothermal reaction of MoO₃, V, Na₂WO₄· 2H₂O, [N(CH₂CH₂)₃N](1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2] octane), and H₂O at 160°C for 90h gave dark-brown crystals of [HN(CH₂CH₂)₃N]₂[HMo^VMo^VI ₅O¹⁹]·[N(CH₂CH₂)₃N], (1), in 40% yield. Complex (1) is the first one-electron reduced mixed-valence hexamolybdate to be crystallized and structurally characterized. The crystal structure of (1) consists of discrete [HMo^VMo^VI ₅O₁₉]^2– anions, [HN-(CH₂CH₂)₃N]⁺ cations, and neutral [N(CH₂CH₂)₃N] molecules of crystallization.     

The Reaction of Molybdenum with 2,3-Dihydroxynaphthalene

[H2N（CH2）3NH312[MoO2（C10H6O2）2] （1） was synthesized by the 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene in the mixed solvent of CH3OH, CH3CN reaction of （n-Bu4N）4[Mo8O26] with and 1,3-propanediarnine. （C5HllN2）2- [HeN（CH2）3NH2][MoO2（CloH6O2）2] （2） was obtained by the reaction of Na2MoO4.2H20 with 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene in the same solvent above. Both of the complexes possess complex anion [Mo（VI）O2（OC10H6O）2]^2- which shows pseudo-octahedrally coordinated fashion, while the counterions are two protonated 1,3-propanediamine in complex 1 and （CsH11N2）^＋ in complex 2. （C5H11N2）＋ is the byproduct of reaction 2, which results from combination of acetonitrile with 1,3-propanediamine. Packing diagrams of the two complexes are also different. There is anti-parallel-aligned-double-meso-bilayer unit in complex 1. However there are four chiral anions arranged in anticlockwise orientation in complex 2.     

Four inorganic–organic hybrid complexes built from tetravanadate and macrocyclic oxamide

Four inorganic–organic hybrid compounds, [M₂(CuL)₄(V₄O₁₂)]·2H₂O (M?=?Co (1), Mn (2)), [Mn₂(NiL)₄(V₄O₁₂)]·2H₂O (3), and [Zn₂(CuL)₄(V₄O₁₂)]·2CH₃OH·2H₂O (4) (M′L, H₂L?=?2,3-dioxo-5,6,14,15-dibenzo-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclo-pentadeca-7,13-dien), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV, fluorescence spectra, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveal that both [V₄O₁₂]^4? and M₂V₄ adapt a chair-like configuration in four structures. The cyclovanadate group [V₄O₁₂]^4? is a tetradentate bridging ligand linking two [M(M′L)₂]²⁺ fragments, producing centroantisymmetric heterometallic hexanuclear [M₂M′₄] complexes. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (2–300?K) of 1 and 2 show weak antiferromagnetic interactions.     

Decavanadates with [Et3NH] and [Me2HN(CH2)2NHMe2]: Variation in protonation state and self-assembly

Synthesis, thermal behaviour and crystal structures of [Et₃NH]₄[V₁₀O₂₆(OH)₂] (1) and [Me₂HN(CH₂)₂NHMe₂]₃[V₁₀O₂₈] · 4H₂O (2) are reported. In the crystal lattice of 1, the anions form discrete dimers via O–H···O hydrogen bonds and the cations are connected to the respective anions through N–H···O hydrogen bonds. On the other hand, 2 forms a complex three-dimensional network due to involvement of the cations, the anions and the lattice water in O–H···O and N–H···O hydrogen bonds.

Synthesis and X-Ray Crystal Structure of Two Novel Complexes: [M II(phen)3]2V4O12·phen·22H2O(M II=Co, Ni; phen=phenanthroline)

Summary. Two novel compounds, [Co(phen)₃]₂V₄O₁₂·phen·22H₂O (1) and [Ni(phen)₃]₂ V₄O₁₂·phen·22H₂O (2), were prepared from KVO₃–1,10-phenanthroline (phen)–Co(NO₃)₂, resp. NiCl₂–H₂O reaction systems. The compounds 1 and 2 are isomorphous and crystallize in triclinic system, space group P-1. Their crystal structures are formed by two types of layers parallel to 001: a cationic one consisting of [M^II(phen)₃]²⁺ ions and an anionic one containing the cyclic V₄O₁₂ ^4– anions. The solvate phenanthroline and crystal water molecules are located in the cationic and anionic layers, respectively. The IR spectra of 1 and 2 are consistent with the presence of the cyclic V₄O₁₂ ^4– anions in the complexes.Received November 13, 2002; accepted (revised) February 3, 2003 Published online June 2, 2003     

Synthesis of Molybdovanadates Coordinated by Oxalato Ligands. The Crystal Structure of K6[Mo6V2O24(C2O4)2]·6H2O

The oxalato complex of a polyoxomolybdovanadate, K₆[Mo₆V₂O₂₄(C₂O₄)₂]·6H₂O has been obtained by reaction of potassium molybdate, ammonium vanadate and tartaric or ascorbic acid. Such conversion of dicarboxylate into oxalate ions indicates the catalytic role of molybdenum. Complexes of analogous composition also were obtained in the reactions of MoO₃, V₂O₅ and potassium oxalate, or M ₂CO₃ (M = Rb, Cs) and oxalic acid. The centrosymmetrical molybdovanadate anion [Mo₆V₂O₂₄(C₂O₄)₂]^6- consists of six MoO₆ and two VO₆ edge-sharing octahedra to give the n -[Mo₆O₂₆]^4- structure. All complexes were characterized by powder and single crystal X-ray analyses, ESR and IR spectra and TG and DSC measurements.

{Na(OCH₃)[H₃N(CH₂)₂NH₂]₂}[WO₂(C₁₀H₆O₂)₂] (1) was obtained by the reaction of Na₂WO₄ · 2H₂O with 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene and ethylenediamine. [H₂N(CH₂)₃NH₃]₂[WO₂(C₁₀H₆O₂)₂] (2) was synthesized by the reaction of Na₂WO₄ · 2H₂O with 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene and 1,3-propylenediamine. Complex 1 was a one-dimensional chain-like structure and the Na atom is in the structure, while complex 2 was a discrete monomer without Na in its structure. The two complexes were synthesized in the same reaction conditions, except that protonated ethylenediamine was used in reaction 1, but 1,3-propylenediamine in reaction 2.

Compound 2 is the first structurally characterized tetranuclear hafnium aqua complex.

Activation energy of 1 calculated from Arrhenius plots is 0.358 eV, indicating Grotthuss mechanism is dominant in the proton transfer. Thermal decomposition behavior of 1 was examined by thermogravimetry/mass spectrometry (TG/MS) measurements.

Asymmetric citrato dioxovanadates(V), [Hneo]₄[V₂O₄(R-Hcit)(OH)][V₂O₄(S-Hcit)(OH)]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Ni(phen)₃]₂[V₂O₄(R-Hcit)(OC₂H₅)][V₂O₄(S-Hcit)(OC₂H₅)]?·?4H₂O (2) and (H₄cit?=?citric acid, neo?=?2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline) are isolated with the help of large counterions. Structural analyses of complexes 1 and 2 show that vanadium atoms are coordinated by tridentate citrate ligand and hydroxy or ethoxy groups, respectively. The insertions of hydroxy and ethoxy groups give new examples of the mixed RO-bridges for vanadium–citrate complexes.     

Two new transition metal inorganic–organic hybrid borates: [tris(2‐aminoethoxy)trihydroxyhexaborato]cobalt(II) and its nickel(II) analogue

The two isomorphous title compounds, [1,5,9‐tris(2‐aminoethoxy)‐3,7,11‐trihydroxy‐3,7,11‐tribora‐1,5,9‐triborata‐2,4,6,8,10,12‐hexaoxa‐13‐oxoniatricyclo[7.3.1.0^5,13]tridecane]cobalt(II), [Co(C₆H₂₁B₆N₃O₁₃)] or Co{B₆O₇(OH)₃[O(CH₂)₂NH₂]₃}, and the Ni^II analogue, [Ni(C₆H₂₁B₆N₃O₁₃)], each consist of an M^II cation and an inorganic–organic hybrid {B₆O₇(OH)₃[O(CH₂)₂NH₂]₃}²⁻ anion. The M^II cation lies on a crystallographic threefold axis (as does one O atom) and is octahedrally coordinated by three N atoms from the organic component. Three O atoms covalently link the B–O cluster and the organic component. Molecules are connected to one another through N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional supramolecular network.     

Synthesis, structure and magnetism of a S-shaped multi-iron substituted arsenotungstate containing a trivacant Keggin [B-α-AsW9O34] and a hexavacant Keggin [α-AsW6O26] fragments

A S-shaped multi-iron substituted arsenotungstate [enH₂]₂[(α-H₂As^VW₆O₂₆)Fe₃(H₂O)(B-α-H₄As^VW₉O₃₄)]₂[Fe]₂·8H₂O (1) (en=ethylenediamine) has been prepared by reaction of K₁₄[As₂^IIIW₁₉O₆₇(H₂O)]·nH₂O with Fe₂(SO₄)₃·xH₂O under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, UV spectra, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The skeleton of 1 consists of two asymmetric sandwich-type subunits [(α-H₂As^VW₆O₂₆)Fe₃(H₂O)(B-α-H₄As^VW₉O₃₄)]⁵⁻ linked by a di-Fe^III cluster. Moreover, magnetic susceptibility measurements demonstrate that 1 indicates the antiferromagnetic coupling interactions within Fe^III centers with the best-fitting set of parameters of J₁=−7.07 cm⁻¹, J₂=−0.45 cm⁻¹ and g=2.05, which are generated by the addition of the expressions of the molar susceptibilities of two tri-Fe^III clusters and one di-Fe^III cluster derived from for spin pairs coupled through the isotropic exchange interactions.

Evidence of 13 hybrid fluoroaluminates in the composition space diagram of the Al(OH)3–tren–HF–ethanol system

Thirteen phases are now evidenced in the composition space diagram of the Al(OH)₃–tren–HF–ethanol system at 190 °C. Solvothermal syntheses are performed under microwave heating. Six new organic–inorganic fluorides crystallise and their structures are determined: (H₃O)·[H₄tren]₂·(AlF₆)₃·6H₂O (P-1, Z = 2), [H₃tren]₂·(AlF₅(H₂O))₃·8H₂O (C2/c, Z = 8), [H₃tren]₄·(AlF₆)₂·(Al₂F₁₁)·(F)·10H₂O (P2₁/n, Z = 2), [H₃tren]₂·(Al₄F₁₈)·3.5H₂O (P6₃, Z = 2), [H₃tren]₂·(Al₄F₁₈) (P-1, Z = 1), and [H₃tren]₄·(Al₈F₃₅)·(OH)·H₂O (P-1, Z = 1). The existence domains are approximately located for all phases. Tren amine is tetraprotonated at high HF concentration, otherwise it is triprotonated. A protonated water cluster, H₃O⁺(H₂O)₆, appears in (H₃O)·[H₄tren]₂·(AlF₆)₃·6H₂O while a new Al₄F₁₈ unit, found in [H₃tren]₂·(Al₄F₁₈), is evidenced; it results from corner and edge sharing association of four AlF₆ octahedra. Finally, the structure of [H₃tren]₄·(Al₈F₃₅)·(OH)·H₂O revealed the largest known fluoroaluminate polyanion, built from eight vertex sharing AlF₆ octahedra, (Al₈F₃₅)¹¹⁻.
