新型磷-钒-氧层状化合物[H2en]2[H3O]6[Co(H2O)2(VO)8(OH)4(PO4)8]的水热合成与晶体结构

金属磷酸盐材料在吸附、离子交换、离子传导和催化剂方面有潜在的应用前景[1～5]. 近年来, 通过水热反应合成了一些A-V-P-O化合物. 在这些化合物中, A一般为碱金属或有机阳离子, 如层状结构的[H2N(C4H8)2NH2][(VO)4(OH)4(PO4)2][6] 和[H2N(C2H4)3NH2][(VO)8(HPO4)3(PO4)4*(OH)2]*2H2O[6], 一维链状结构的 [H2NCH2CH2NH3(VO)(PO4)][7], 手性双螺旋结构的 [(CH3)2NH2]K4[(VO)10(H2O)2(OH)4(PO4)7]*H2O[8]以及具有三维骨架结构的化合物 [H3N(CH2)3NH3K(VO)3(PO4)3][9], [H3N(CH2)3NH3]2[V(H2O)2(VO)6(OH)2(HPO4)3(PO4)5]*3H2O[10]和[H3N(CH2)2NH3][(VO)3(H2O)2(PO4)2(HPO4)4][11].     

One Dimensional Iron Molybdophosphate Anionic Chains with Different Structural Arrangements Reflecting a Flexibility Character

Structural comparison of a new compound[(bpp)₃H₆]Fe₂^IIIFe₂^IIMo₂₄^V(H₂PO₄)₈(HPO₄)₄(PO₄)₄O₄₈(OH)₁₂· (H₂O)₄·2H₂O(1)[bpp=1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane] with our previously reported two compounds[(bpy)₃Fe^II]₃· Fe₂^IIIFe₂^IIMo₂₄^V(H₂PO₄)₈(HPO₄)₄(PO₄)₄O₄₈(OH)₁₂(H₂O)₄·12H₂O(2) and[(bpy)₃Fe^II]₂Fe^IIFe^IIIMo₁₂^V(H₂PO₄)₂(H_2-xPO₄)·(H_1+xPO₄)(HPO₄)₂(PO₄)₂O₂₄(OH)₆(H₂O)₂·9H₂O(x=0―1)(3)(bpy=2,2'-bipyridine), which all exhibit one-dimensional mixed-valence iron molybdophosphate anionic chains constructed by alternating connection of Fe^III ions and magic[Fe^II(Mo₆P₄O₃₁)₂] units, reveals that the non-hydrogen atomic ratios of Mo:Fe:P:O within the polymeric anionic chains are the same for all the three compounds, while the polymeric anionic chains of the different compounds bear different numbers of negative charges. And therefore there exist different numbers of counter cations per {Fe₂^III[Fe₂^II(P₁₆Mo₂₄^VO₁₂₄)]} unit found in the titled compounds. It discloses that not only are the spatial assembling of counter cations and polymeric inorganic chains of three compounds quite different, but also the O―Fe^III―O bond angles and Fe^III―O bond lengths of the three different inorganic chains exhibit small differences. What is more important is that such small changes in bond length and bond angle in the assemblage of Fe^III―O bonds lead to the considerable fluctuations of inorganic chains in their structural conformation within the three compounds, reflecting an interesting phenomenon of “flexibility" in the pure inorganic one dimensional mixed-valence iron molybdophosphate chains.     

Template-directed Synthesis of Three Metal Oxalates via 4-Connected Building Units

Three novel compounds, [Co（en）3]2[Zr2（C2O4）7]·2H20（HNU-2, en=ethylenediamine）, [Co（NH3）6]· [Ce（CzO4）3（H2O）]·H2O（HNU-3） and [Co（dien）2][Gd（C2On）3]·0.75H2O（HNU-4, dien=dethylenetriamine） were hydro- thermal synthesized based on the templates of [Co（en）3]C13, [C0（NH3）6]C13 and [Co（dien）2]C13, respectively. The Zr4＋ Ce3＋ and Gd3＋ cations are all coordinated by four oxalates to form [M（C2O4）n（H2O）n]m （M=Zr, Ce or Gd; n=0 or 1; m=4 or 5）, which are similar to [In（C2O4）4]5- in NKB-1, and can be regarded as 4-connected building units. The [M（C2O4）a（H2O）n]m units are connected via sharing the bis-bidentate bridging oxalate ligands to form binuclears in HNU-2 and 1D ＂zigzag＂ chains in HNU-3 and HNU-4. cular building units to design 3D open frameworks with It is suggested that these compounds could be used as mole- zeolite topologies.     

Third-order Optical Nonlinearities of a Series of Compounds Derived from a Keplerate Type Molybdenum-oxide-based Polyoxometalate

Abstract By reacting the unique Keplerate type molybdenum-oxide based polyoxometalate （NH4）42·[MoI320372·（CH3COO）30（H2O）y2]·ca.300H2·ca. 10CH3COONH4（1） with tetramethylammonium bromide, a new derivative （NH4）26[TMA]16{MoI32O372（H2O）72（CH3COO）30}·ca.7NH4CH3COO·ca.189H2O（2, TMA=tetramethylammonium） was prepared. Compound 2 was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR）, UV-Vis, elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. By the well-established Z-scan technique, investigations on the nonlinear opti- cal（NLO） properties of the series of compounds derived from the Keplerate type molybdenum-oxide-based poly- oxometalate, namely, the newly prepared compound 2, the three previously reported compounds, included compound 1, （NH4hs（TBA）24{Mo132O372（H2O）72（CH3COO）30}·ca.7NH4CH3COO·ca. 173H2O（3, TBA=tetrabutylammonium） and （DODA）40（NH4）2[（H2O）nMo132O372（CH3COO）3o（H20）72]（4, DODA=dimethyldioctadecylammonium）, reveal that the third-order nonlinearity[x（3）] values of compounds 1, 2 and 3 in the DMF/H2O solution and compound 4 in chloro- form are almost the same, which indicates that the counter cations with different length of alkyl chains show ignora- ble impacts on the NLO susceptibility. In other words, the remarkable third-order nonlinearities[x（3）≈10 19 m2/V2] mainly come from the [MoI32O372（CH3COO）30（H2O）72]42 anions. This fact reveals that the applications of the NLO active polyoxometalates in various environments（such as hydrophilic, hydrophobic, polar, apolar, etc.） can be achieved by simply varying cations to meet the demands in the design of diverse devices.

Syntheses of gold-manganese and gold-rhenium clusters, [(Ph3PAu)3M(CO)4] and [(Ph3PAu)4M(CO)4] (M = Mn, Re), and the crystal structure of [(Ph3PAu)4Mn(CO)4]BF4

The specific additions of one, three or four Ph₃PAu groups to [M(CO)₅]⁻ (M=Mn, Re) are described. Thus [M(CO)₅] ⁻ in THF reacts with [(Ph₃PAu)₃O]BF₄ to give [(Ph₃PAu)₄Mn(CO)₄]BF₄. An X-ray crystal structure of the M = Mn example shows the cation to have a trigonal bipyramidal Au₄Mn core with the Mn in an equatorial site. The previously known neutral (Ph₃PAu)₃M(CO)₄ clusters are formed by addition of two Ph₃PAu groups, using the mixed reagent [(Ph₃PAu) ₃O]BF₄/[ppn][Co(CO)₄], to Ph₃PAuM(CO)₅, which itself is readily prepared from [M(CO)₅]⁻ and Ph₃PAuCl.

Four novel tetranuclear macrocyclic complexes of the formula [(CuLⁱ)₃Fe](ClO₄)₃·3H₂O (i=1–4, Lⁱ are the dianions of the [14]N₄ and [15]N₄ macrocyclic oxamides, namely 2,3-dioxo-5,6:13,14-dibenzo-7,12-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,11-diene, 2,3-dioxo-5,6:13,14-dibenzo-9-methyl-7,12-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,11-diene and 2,3-dioxo-5,6:14,15-dibenzo-7,13-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,12-diene] have been prepared and characterized. These complexes are the first examples of oxamido-bridged Cu(II)–Fe(III) heterometallic species. Cryomagnetic studies on [(CuL¹)₃Fe](ClO₄)₃·3H₂O (1) and [(CuL³)₃Fe](ClO₄)₃·3H₂O (3) (77–300 K) revealed that the Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions interact antiferromagnetically through the oxamido bridge, with the exchange integral J=−30.8 cm⁻¹ for 1 and J=−28.7 cm⁻¹ for 3 based on . The interaction parameters have been compared with that of the related [Cu₃Mn] compound.     

Neutral pyridylmethylamide ligands and their mononuclear copper(II) complexes

Mononuclear copper(II) complexes of a family of pyridylmethylamide ligands HL, HL^Me, HL^Ph, HL^Me3 and HL^Ph3, [HL = N-(2-pyridylmethyl)acetamide; HL^Me = N-(2-pyridylmethyl)propionamide; HL^Ph = 2-phenyl-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)acetamide; HL^Me3 = 2,2-dimethyl-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)propionamide; HL^Ph3 = 2,2,2-triphenyl-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)acetamide], were synthesized and characterized. The reaction of copper(II) salts with the pyridylmethylamide ligands yields complexes [Cu(HL)₂(OTf)₂] (1), [Cu(HL^Me)₂](ClO₄)₂ (2), [Cu(HL)₂Cl]₂[CuCl₄] (3), [Cu(HL^Me3)₂(THF)](OTf)₂ (4), [Cu(HL^Me3)₂(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ (5a and 5b), [Cu(HL^Ph3)₂(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ (6), [Cu(HL)(2,2′-bipy)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ (7), and [Cu(HL^Ph)(2,2′-bipy)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ (8). All complexes were fully characterized, and the X-ray structures vary from four-coordinate square-planar, to five-coordinate square-pyramidal or trigonal-bipyramidal. The neutral ligands coordinate via the pyridyl N atom and carbonyl O atom in a bidentate fashion. The spectroscopic properties are typical of mononuclear copper(II) species with similar ligand sets, and are consistent their X-ray structures.     

A spectroscopic study on the reaction-controlled phase transfer catalyst in the epoxidation of cyclohexene

The epoxidation of cyclohexene with hydrogen peroxide in a biphase medium (H₂O/CHCl₃) was carried out with the reaction-controlled phase transfer catalyst composed of quaternary ammonium heteropolyoxotungstates [π-C₅H₅N(CH₂)₁₅CH₃]₃[PW₄O₁₆]. A conversion of about 90% and a selectivity of over 90% were obtained for epoxidation of cyclohexene on the catalyst. The fresh catalyst, the catalyst under reaction conditions and the used catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, Raman and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. It appears that the insoluble catalyst could degrade into smaller species, [(PO₄){WO(O₂)₂}₄]³⁻, [(PO₄){WO(O₂)₂}₂{WO(O₂)₂(H₂O)}]³⁻, and [(PO₃(OH)){WO(O₂)₂}₂]²⁻ after the reaction with hydrogen peroxide and becomes soluble in the CHCl₃ solvent. The active oxygen in the [W₂O₂(O₂)₄] structure unit of these soluble species reacts with olefins to form the epoxides and consequently the corresponding W---Ob---W (corner-sharing) and W---Oc---W (edge-sharing) bonds are formed. The peroxo group [W₂O₂(O₂)₄] can be regenerated when the W---Ob---W and W---Oc---W bonds react with hydrogen peroxide again. These soluble species lose active oxygen and then polymerize into larger compounds with the W---Ob---W and W---Oc---W bonds and then precipitate from the reaction solution after the hydrogen peroxide is consumed up. Part of the used catalyst seems to form more stable compounds with Keggin structure under the reaction conditions.     

Assembly of Three Scandium-containing Heteropolytungstates Based on a Building-block Synthetic Strategy

Three novel scandium-containing heteropolytungstates[Sc₃(H₂O)₃NO₃(PW₉O₃₄)₂]^10-(1a),[Sc₈(H₂O)₂(GeW₉O₃₄)₂(GeW₆O₂₆)₂]^12-(2a) and[Sc₁₁(W₆O₁₀)₂(OH)₂(H₂O)₁₆(BiW₉O₃₃)₆]^27-(3a) were synthesized by reactions of Sc^III ions with trilacunary Keggin precursors,[A-α-XW₉O₃₄]^n-(X=P, Ge, n=9, 10) or[B-α-BiW₉O₃₃]^9-, in NaOAc/HOAc buffer solution under conventional synthetic condition, respectively. All the three compounds were characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform-infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy ultraviolet-visible(UV-Vis) spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. The aqueous solution stability of the sandwich polyanion[Sc₃(H₂O)₃NO₃(PW₉O₃₄)₂]^10- was also verified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(ESI-MS) due to its good solubility in water.
