Template-induced synthetic routes for azacalix[n](2,6)pyridines (n = 3, 4) have been elaborated. The proton and nickel ion served as the efficient template for the cyclization reactions, and the presence of the templates preferentially afforded the cyclic trimers and tetramers in moderate to good yields, respectively. The compatibility of the cyclic tetramer with nickel ion was also confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

Study of Fe Addition on the Thermal Decomposition of Coprecipitated Oxalates for the Bi-based Superconductor Synthesis

This work introduces results obtained during the preparation of a Bi-based material with superconducting properties by oxalate coprecipitation. The influence of Fe presence on the precursors thermal stability and on the superconducting phases formation mechanism are presented. The thermal decomposition and the stability in air of FeC₂O₄×2H₂O and also of the components mixture were studied by DTA/TG. It was evidenced that iron oxalate decomposes at the lowest temperature compared to the decomposition temperatures of the individual oxalates. XRD, IR and TEM/ED studies were approached to investigate the individual oxalates and the mixture coprecipitates for the high-T _c superconducting material synthesis. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Temperature-controlled Hydrothermal Synthesis of Copper(I or II) Coordination Polymers via a Variety of Copper Coordination Modes

Two 1D coordination polymers Cu₂^I(C₆N₃H₄)₂(1) and Cu^II(C₆N₃H₄)₂·H₂O(2) based on benzotriazole(Bta) were hydrothermally synthesized by controlling the crystallization temperature. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses reveal that compound 1 is a 1D tubular structure constructed from two types of 1D chains {-Cu-N=N-N-}_n, where the Cu(I) ions adopt linear, triangular, and tetrahedral coordination modes to connect two types of Bta ligands via π-π interaction inside the tubular-like chain. For compound 2, the Cu(II) ions assume a quadrilateral coordination mode linking to the Bta ligands to give 1D straight chains, which stacks through π-π interactions to construct a 2D layer structure. Further characterizations including elemental analyses, infrared IR spectra, thermogravimetric(TG) analyses and luminescence properties have been done.     

Fabrication of Super-Sized Metal Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Glass with Supramolecular Network via Crystallization-Suppressing Approach

Metal coordination compound (MCC) glasses [e.g., metal-organic framework (MOF) glass, coordination polymer glass, and metal inorganic-organic complex (MIOC) glass] are emerging members of the hybrid glass family. So far, a limited number of crystalline MCCs can be converted into glasses by melt-quenching. Here, we report a universal wet-chemistry method, by which the super-sized supramolecular MIOC glasses can be synthesized from non-meltable MOFs. Alcohol and acid were used as agents to inhibit crystallization. The MIOC glasses demonstrate unique features including high transparency, shaping capability, and anisotropic network. Directional photoluminescence with a large polarization ratio (≈47 %) was observed from samples doped with organic dyes. This crystallization-suppressing approach enables fabrication of super-sized MCC glasses, which cannot be achieved by conventional vitrification methods, and thus allows for exploring new MCC glasses possessing photonic functionalities.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of two new zigzag versus helical coordination polymers based on diphenic acid

Two new coordination polymers, [Mn(dpa)(2,2′-bipy)] _n (1) and [Ni(dpa)(2,2′-bipy)] _n (2) (H₂dpa = 3,4′-biphenyl-dicarboxylic acid, 2,2′-bipy = bipyridine), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray analyses revealed that 3,4′-diphenic acid acts as a bridging ligand, exhibiting rich coordination modes to link metal ions: μ ₂–η ¹: η ¹, μ ₁–η ¹: η ¹, and μ ₁ –η ¹: η ⁰. Compound 1 demonstrates a 1-D zigzag chain. Compound 2 is a 1-D helical chain. In 1 and 2, there exist intermolecular π–π stacking interactions and non-covalent interactions responsible for the stabilization of the supramolecular structure. In 1, the Mn(II) chains exhibit a weak antiferromagnetic interaction.

Ambient Temperature Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Six Transition Metal Acetylenedicarboxylate Coordination Polymers

This work reports the ambient temperature synthesis and structural characterization of six new first row transition metal acetylenedicarboxylate coordination polymers. The Co and two Ni compounds adopt structures in which the octahedral metals are connected into 1D chains via the acetylenedicarboxylate ligand. In contrast the Mn and two Zn compounds adopt 3D metal-organic frameworks; while the Mn compound is non-porous the two Zn structures contain dimeric or trimeric clusters connected into frameworks that are potentially porous. These two anionic metal-organic frameworks are, however, charged balanced by cations siting in their pores which greatly reduces the ability to access their porosity.     

12-Ring Network Coordination Polymer—— {[Cu(C4N2H10)4]2·H4V4O14 }n Formed by Linking cyclo-[H4V4O14]4- with Cu(C4N2H10)2+4 Cation Clusters

A novel 12-ring network coordination polymer, {2 H4V4O14}n(denoted as QUST-4), was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis.

The largest difference peak and hole were2284 and -1040 e/nm3, respectively. The SBU(secondary building unit) of QUST-4 was a new cyclo- aggregate of polyoxovanadate cyclo-4-, different from cyclo-4-, which was condensed from two tetrahedral and two trigonal bipyramids via alternate arrangement. Cu(piper)4(piper=piperazine) group connected the cyclo-4- anions to form the 12-ring network. The adjacent layers were linked by van der Walls forces.

Divalent Metal 2,5‐Thiophenedicarboxylate Coordination Polymers with the Conformationally Flexible Bis(4‐pyridyl­formyl)homopiperazine Ligand

Divalent metal coordination polymers containing the rigid 2,5‐thiophenedicarboxylate (tdc) ligand and the conformationally flexible dipyridylamide ligand bis(4‐pyridylformyl)homopiperazine (bpfh) show different layer topologies and chirality. As determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, {[Cd(tdc)(bpfh)(H₂O)] · 3H₂O}_n ( 1 ) shows a twofold parallel interpenetrated centrosymmetric (4,4) layered grid structure. {[Zn(tdc)(bpfh)] · H₂O}_n ( 2 ) exhibits a similar system of twofold interpenetrated (4,4) grid‐like layers, but in contrast to 1 , it crystallizes in an acentric space group. {[Ni₂(tdc)₂(bpfh)₂(H₂O)] · 2H₂O}_n ( 3 ) possesses {Ni₂(μ‐H₂O)(OCO)₂} dimeric units connected into a doubled layer motif by the full span of the tdc and bpfh ligands. Weak antiferromagnetic coupling is observed within the dimeric units in 3 [g = 2.172(6) and J = –0.79(1) cm^–1].

The synthesis and crystal structures of 3,5-dinitro-1H-pyrazolyl-4-carboxylic acid (H₂dnpzc) and its four complexes with Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ are reported in this paper. Ca(dnpzc) · 5H₂O exhibits a 1D polymeric structure, whereas Ba(dnpzc) · 4H₂O possesses a 2D structure. The structure of Na₂(dnpzc) · 4H₂O consists of 2D layers of [Na(dnpzc)]^–_n and 1D chains of [Na(H₂O)₃]⁺_n. K₂(dnpzc) · H₂O has a true 3D structure.

Particularly in the structure of K₂(dnpzc) · H₂O, all the 8 donor atoms of dnpzc^2– take part in the coordination and as many as 10 potassium atoms are connected by one ligand.

Five new divalent metal coordination polymers containing either 1,3‐adamantanedicarboxylate (adc) or 1,3‐adamantanediacetate (ada) and pillaring dipyridyl ligands were prepared and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Using the V‐shaped linker 4,4′‐dipyridylamine (dpa), three new phases were isolated. {[Zn₂(ada)₂(dpa)₂] · 4.5H₂O}_n ( 1 ) shows a (4,4) grid topology with embedded octameric water clusters. {[Co(ada)(dpa)(H₂O)] · H₂O}_n ( 2 ) also manifests a 2D dimensionality, but with an intriguing novel (4)(12)(4.12⁵) looped topology. {[Cd(adc)(H₂O)₂] · H₂O}_n ( 3 ) did not incorporate dpa ligands during self‐assembly, but exhibits an uncommon 3‐connected 8³ etb network topology. [Co(ada)(ebin)]_n ( 4 ) [ebin = ethanediaminebis(nicotinamide)] possesses a (3,6) triangular net based on {Co₂(OCO)₂} dimeric units. {[Cd(adc)(ebin)] · 2H₂O}_n ( 5 ) also shows dimeric units, although linked into a decorated (4,4) grid topology. Magnetic susceptibility studies of compound 4 revealed a decrease in χ_mT product upon cooling, ascribed to antiferromagnetic coupling concomitant with single‐ion effects [g = 2.39(2) with D = 40(3) cm^–1 and J = –3.55(4) cm^–1]. Compounds 1 and 5 undergo blue‐violet fluorescence upon ultraviolet irradiation; the zinc derivative 1 shows potential as a sensor for the solution‐phase detection of nitrobenzene and m‐nitrophenol. Thermal decomposition behavior of the five new phases is also discussed.
