New 1D and 2D metal oxygen connectivities in Cu(II) succinato and glutarato coordination polymers: [Cu3(H2O)2(OH)2(C4H4O4)2] · 4H2O, [Cu4(H2O)2(OH)4(C4H4O4)2] · 5H2O and [Cu5(OH)6(C5H6O4)2] · 4H2O

Two Cu(II) hydroxo succinates [Cu₃(H₂O)₂(OH)₂(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Cu₄(H₂O)₂(OH)₄(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?5H₂O (2) and one Cu(II) hydroxo glutarate [Cu₅(OH)₆(C₅H₆O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (3) have been prepared and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. They feature 1D and 2D copper oxygen connectivity of elongated {CuO₆} octahedra in “4?+?1?+?1” and “4?+?2” coordination geometries. Within 1, linear trimers of three edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra are connected into copper oxygen chains, which are bridged by the anti conformational succinate anions to generate 2D layers with mono terminally coordinating gauche succinate anions on both sides. The layers are assembled into a 3D framework by interlayer hydrogen bonds with lattice H₂O molecules distributed in channels. Different from 1, the principal building units in 2 are linear tetramers of four edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra. The tetramers are condensed into copper oxygen chains and the succinate anions interlink them into a 3D framework with triangular channels filled by lattice H₂O molecules. The {CuO₆} octahedra in 3 are edge-shared to form unprecedented 2D inorganic layers with mono terminally coordinating glutarate anions on both sides. Interlayer hydrogen bonding interactions are responsible for supramolecular assembly of the layers into a 3D framework with lattice H₂O molecules in the channels. The inorganic layers in 3 can be described as hexagonal close packing of oxygen atoms with the Cu atoms in the octahedral cavities. The title compounds were further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermal analyses.

Single-crystalline nanobelts and nanorings of Na(2)V(6)O(16)·3H(2)O structures have been facilely synthesized through a direct hydrothermal reaction between NaVO(3) and H(3)PO(4), without the addition of any harmful solvents or surfactants.

An analysis of the vibrational frequencies and amplitudes of the H5O+2 ion in H4SiW12O40·6H2O (TSA·6H2O) and H3PW12O40·6H2O (TPA·6H2O)

The infrared, Raman and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra of TSA·6H₂O and TPA·6H₂O are in agreement with those expected for the presence of H₅O⁺₂ ions. Force fields for different assignment schemes are compared with the observed vibrational frequencies and the INS spectral profile. All but two schemes are eliminated. Whilst low-resolution INS spectroscopy cannot distinguish between these two schemes, the orientations of the vibrational ellipsoids for one scheme are in better agreement with those reported from low-temperature crystallographic studies of the H₅O⁺₂ ion.
