Structurally Chemical Investigation of Monoammin Copper (I) Complexes : [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆], [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₄] and Cu₃[Co(CN)₆] · 2NH₃ The preparation and the properties of [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆], [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₄] and Cu₃[Co(CN)₆] · 2NH₃ are described. I.R. and Raman spectra have been recorded and assigned. According to X-ray powder diagrams, [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆] crystallizes in the trigonal space group D–P3 ml, a = 7.771, c = 5.988 Å, Z = 1. According to the spectroscopic and crystallographic data, it is concluded that the Cu_I ion is coordinated with one NH₃ group and with the N atoms of the cyanometallate anions. The coordination number of the Cu⁺ is 4 in [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆] and 3 in [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₄]. In the Cu₃[Co(CN)₆] · 2 NH₃ complex two Cu atoms have the coordination number 2, the third Cu atom 4.     

3D porous and 3D interpenetrating triple framework structures constructed by aurophilicity-coordination interplay in [Mn[Au(CN)2]2(H2O)2]n and [KFe[Au(CN)2]3]n

Two cyano-bridged heterobimetallic coordination polymers [Mn[Au(CN)2]2(H2O)2]n (1) and [KFe[Au(CN)2]3]n (2), have been synthesized from [Au(CN)2]- building blocks and structurally characterized. In both complexes aurophilicity play an important role in determining the 3D open microporous framework and the interpenetrating triple framework for 1 and 2, respectively. Both aqueous solutions of 1 and 2 display interesting luminescent properties.     

A new basic motif in cyanometallate coordination polymers: structure and magnetic behavior of M(mu-OH2)2[Au(CN)2]2 (M=Cu, Ni)

The structures of two cyanoaurate-based coordination polymers, M(mu-OH(2))(2)[Au(CN)(2)](2) (M=Cu, Ni), were determined by using a combination of powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The basic structural motif for both polymers contains rarely observed M(mu-OH(2))(2)M double aqua-bridges, which generate an infinite chain; two trans [Au(CN)(2)](-) units also dangle from each metal center. The chains form ribbons that interact three dimensionally through CNH hydrogen bonding. The magnetic properties of both compounds and of the dehydrated analogue Cu[Au(CN)(2)](2) were investigated by direct current (dc) and alternating current (ac) magnetometry; muon spin-relaxation data was also obtained to probe their magnetic properties in zero-field. In M(mu-OH(2))(2)[Au(CN)(2)](2), ferromagnetic chains of M(mu-OH(2))(2)M are present below 20 K. Interchain magnetic interactions mediated through hydrogen bonding, involving water and cyanoaurate units, yield a long-range magnetically ordered system in Cu(mu-OH(2))(2)[Au(CN)(2)](2) below 0.20 K, as indicated by precession in the muon spin polarization decay. Ni(mu-OH(2))(2)[Au(CN)(2)](2) undergoes a transition to a spin-glass state in zero-field at 3.6 K, as indicated by a combination of muon spin-relaxation and ac-susceptibility data. This transition is probably due to competing interactions that lead to spin frustration. A phase transition to a paramagnetic state is possible for Ni(mu-OH(2))(2)[Au(CN)(2)](2) upon application of an external field; the critical field was determined to be 700 Oe at 1.8 K. The dehydrated compound Cu[Au(CN)(2)](2) shows weak antiferromagnetic interactions at low temperatures.     

Structure and spectroscopy of Tb[Au(CN)2]3.3H2O

The compound Tb[Au(CN)2]3.3H(2)O crystallizes in a layered structure in the hexagonal space group P6(3)/mcm with the 9-coordinate environment of Tb3+ comprising six (CN)- and three OH2 in a tricapped trigonal prism. The shortest Au...Au distance is 3.31 angstroms. The vibrational spectra show that the series Ln[Au(CN)2]3.3H2O (Ln = Y, Pr, Sm, Eu, Tb) are isostructural. The electronic spectra of Eu[Au(CN)2]3.3H2O clearly show that Eu3+ occupies one site of spectroscopic site symmetry D3h, in agreement with the crystallographic data. The electronic emission and absorption spectra of Tb[Au(CN)2]3.3H2O have been recorded at temperatures down to 1.5 K, and the f-f pure electronic transitions are interpreted in detail as arising from the lowest electronic states (in D3h symmetry) (7F6)E' in absorption and (5D4)E' in emission. At low energy, further bands are assigned to the vibronic structure of the CN stretching and water stretching modes, with the latter more predominant. Although the CN stretching vibrations show exclusive infrared or Raman activity in Tb[Au(CN)2]3.3H2O, both of these infrared and Raman active modes are observed in the two-center vibronic transitions. The reasons for this are discussed.

Kristallstrukturen der Terpyridin-Komplexe [Cd(terpy)Cl2], [Cu(terpy)(CN)Cl] und [Cu(terpy)][Cu(CN)3] · H2O

Crystal Structures of the Terpyridine Complexes [Cd(terpy)Cl₂], [Cu(terpy)(CN)Cl], and [Cu(terpy)][Cu(CN)₃] · H₂O By reaction of cadmium chloride with 2,2′ : 6′,2″-terpyridine (“terpy”) in water/acetone crystals of [Cd(terpy)Cl₂] ( 1) were formed. The compound crystallizes monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 1111.70(10), b = 823.10(7), c = 1643.00(14) pm, β = 93.913(1)°, Z = 4. Starting from mixtures of different molar ratios of copper(II) chloride, terpyridine, and KCN in water/methanole, two complexes of different composition were obtained. At the molar ratio of 1 : 1 : 2 a copper(II) coordination compound with both halide and pseudohalide ligands, [Cu(terpy)(CN)Cl] ( 2 ), was formed which also crystallizes monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 1065.6(3), b = 824.6(2), c = 1644.5(7) pm, β = 98.214(3)°, Z = 4. At a molar ratio of 1 : 1 : 10 a partial reduction of copper(II) occured with formation of a mixed valency compound [Cu(terpy)][Cu(CN)₃] · H₂O ( 3 ) which crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6₅22, with a = b = 800.29(1), c = 4771.05(7) pm, Z = 6. Compounds 1 and 2 are structurally similar, the coordination of the metal atoms is square pyramidal. Networks are formed by hydrogen bridges. In 3 the copper(II) ions show a distorted square planar coordination by the three N atoms of the terpy ligand and one N atom of a bridging CN^– group, the copper(I) atoms, however, show trigonal planar coordination by three CN^– ligands to which the water molecules are bonded by hydrogen bridges. Thus helical chains are formed which stretch in the direction of the screw axes. The EPR spectrum of 3 was measured.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two Cyano-bridged Bimetallic Complexes [Ce(DMSO)_4(H_2O)_3Fe(CN)_6]·H_2O and [La(DMSO)_4(H_2O)_3Co(CN)_6]·H_2O(DMSO = Dimethylsulfoxide)

1INTRODUCTION Recently,cyano-bridged lanthanide-transition me-tal complexes have been extensively investigateddue to their potential applications as precursors in the preparation of rare earth orthoferrites,fluores-cent and magnetic materials[1].Various complexes of this system have been obtained in order to ex-plore the relations between structures and pro-perties by using different ligands,such as DMF,4,4?-bipy,and so on,to fill the coordination sites of lanthanide ions[2～9].But up to…     

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).     

Characterising lone-pair activity of lead(II) by 207Pb solid-state NMR spectroscopy: coordination polymers of [N(CN)2]- and [Au(CN)2]- with terpyridine ancillary ligands

A series of lead(II) coordination polymers containing [N(CN)₂]^? (DCA) or [Au(CN)₂]^? bridging ligands and substituted terpyridine (terpy) ancillary ligands ([Pb(DCA)₂] ( 1 ), [Pb(terpy)(DCA)₂] ( 2 ), [Pb(terpy){Au(CN)₂}₂] ( 3 ), [Pb(4′‐chloro‐terpy){Au(CN)₂}₂] ( 4 ) and [Pb(4′‐bromo‐terpy)(μ‐OH₂)_0.5{Au(CN)₂}₂] ( 5 )) was spectroscopically examined by solid‐state ²⁰⁷Pb MAS NMR spectroscopy in order to characterise the structural and electronic changes associated with lead(II) lone‐pair activity. Two new compounds, 2 and [Pb(4′‐hydroxy‐terpy){Au(CN)₂}₂] ( 6 ), were prepared and structurally characterised. The series displays contrasting coordination environments, bridging ligands with differing basicities and structural and electronic effects that occur with various substitutions on the terpyridine ligand (for the [Au(CN)₂]^? polymers). ²⁰⁷Pb NMR spectra show an increase in both isotropic chemical shift and span (Ω) with increasing ligand basicity (from δ_iso=?3090 ppm and Ω=389 ppm for 1 (the least basic) to δ_iso=?1553 ppm and Ω=2238 ppm for 3 (the most basic)). The trends observed in ²⁰⁷Pb NMR data correlate with the coordination sphere anisotropy through comparison and quantification of the Pb? N bond lengths about the lead centre. Density functional theory calculations confirm that the more basic ligands result in greater p‐orbital character and show a strong correlation to the ²⁰⁷Pb NMR chemical shift parameters. Preliminary trends suggest that ²⁰⁷Pb NMR chemical shift anisotropy relates to the measured birefringence, given the established correlations with structure and lone‐pair activity.     

A detailed study of the vapochromic Behavior of [Tl[Au(C6Cl5)2]]n

The linear-chain polymer [Tl[Au(C(6)Cl(5))(2)]](n), 1, reacts in the solid state and in solution with different volatile organic compounds such as tetrahydrofuran, acetone, tetrahydrothiophene, 2-fluoropyridine, acetonitrile, acetylacetone, and pyridine. Solid-state exposure of 1 to vapors of the above VOCs produces a selective and reversible change in its color that is perceptible to the human eye and even deeper under UV irradiation, allowing 1 to function as a sensor for these VOCs. Heating the samples exposed to the VOCs for a few minutes at 100 degrees C regenerates the original material without degradation, even after several exposure/heating cycles. The reversibility is further confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction measurements of complex 1 before and after exposure to vapors and again after heating the samples. The products obtained by reactions of complex 1 with the above VOCs as ligands in solution contain extended linear chains of alternating gold and thallium centers with two molecules of the organic ligands attached to each thallium atom. The stoichiometry of these materials has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction as [Tl(THF)(2)[Au(C(6)Cl(5))(2)]](n), 3, and [Tl(acacH)(2)[Au(C(6)Cl(5))(2)]](n), 5. Comparison of FT-IR, UV-vis, and luminescence spectra at room temperature and at 77 K of the solid samples of complexes 2-9 with the spectra of complex 1 after its exposure to VOCs suggests interaction occurs between the organic VOCs and thallium in each case. Thermogravimetric analyses data indicate that all the thallium centers in these derivatives of complex 1 are neither fully nor equally coordinatively saturated. The materials formed appear to be intermediates between complex 1 with no VOCs attached and complexes 3-9 which contain two organic ligands coordinated to each thallium. A crystal structure analyses of one of these intermediates, [Tl(THF)(0.5)[Au(C(6)Cl(5))(2)]](n), 1.0.5THF, confirms this. Density functional calculations are in accord with the observed experimental results. Analysis reveals a substantial participation of the metal atoms in transitions that give rise to the observed emissions. Crystallographic data are as follows. For 1.0.5THF: triclinic, P1, a = 8.9296(1) A, b = 11.2457(1) A, c = 21.2465(3) A, alpha = 96.7187(7) degrees, beta = 92.5886(6) degrees, gamma = 98.5911(8) degrees, V = 2090.87(4) A(3), and Z = 2. For 3: monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 26.4163(6) A, b = 12.1619(2) A, c = 28.0813(6) A, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 161.9823(6) degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, V = 2790.51(10) A(3), and Z = 4. For 5: monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 9.8654(2) A, b = 29.8570(5) A, c = 11.6067(2) A, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 114.5931(6) degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, V = 3108.64(10) A(3), and Z = 4.
