The cluster anions [Re₆X₈(CN)₆]^34– (X = S, Se, or Te) containing 23 cluster valence electrons in the Re₆ octahedron were synthesized and isolated as salts with organic cations. The crystal structures of the (Ph₄P)₃[Re₆S₈(CN)₆], (Ph₄P)₂(H)[Re₆Se₈(CN)₆]·8H₂O, and (Et₄N)₂(H)[Re₆Te₈(CN)₆]·2H₂O clusters were solved by X-ray diffraction analysis. Removal of one electron has virtually no effect on the geometry and interatomic distances in the cluster anion but leads to a substantial change in the electronic spectrum and to an increase in stretching vibration frequencies _CN compared to those of the [Re₆X₈(CN)₆]^4– anions.

[Ni(bpy)(mal)(H2O)3]·H2O and [Ni(4,4′-dmbpy)(mal)(H2O)3]·1.5H2O: syntheses,crystal structures,magnetic properties,and computational study of stacking interactions

[Ni(bpy)(mal)(H₂O)₃]·H₂O and [Ni(4,4′-dmbpy)(mal)(H₂O)₃]·1.5H₂O (mal = maleato; bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; 4,4′-dmbpy = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine) exhibit molecular crystal structures. The Ni(II) central ions in both complexes are six-coordinate by one chelate bonded L–L ligand, three aqua ligands, and one position is occupied by a maleato oxygen donor atom. Hydrogen bonded ribbon-like supramolecular structural motifs are present in both studied complexes; these are linked by weaker C–H?O hydrogen bonds in [Ni(bpy)(mal)(H₂O)₃]·H₂O, whereas in [Ni(4,4′-dmbpy)(mal)(H₂O)₃]·1,5H₂O the hydrogen bonded ribbons are linked by O?H-O-H?O hydrogen bonds with the participation of the additional water solvate molecule positioned on the twofold axis. In both structures, π–π stacking interactions with different patterns in respective structures were found. The role of dispersion energy and many-body effects in the stabilization of bpy and 4,4′-dmbpy stacking interactions were investigated using methods of computational chemistry. Those confirm the dispersion-dominated stabilization of the 4,4′-dmbpy supramolecular chain-like structure, with only marginal impact of cooperativity effects. Thermal decompositions of both complexes start with dehydration. Magnetic susceptibility studies performed from 2 to 300 K revealed a dominant effect of the zero-field splitting of the Ni(II) ion, governing the low-temperature magnetic properties of both compounds.

In both complexes the lanthanide ion is eight-coordinated in a square antiprism arrangement, and the Fe(Ⅲ) or Co(Ⅲ) ion in a nearly regular octahedral environment.The [LnM(CN)6(DMSO)4(H2O)3]·H2O (Ln = Ce and M = Fe for 1; Ln = La and M = Co for 2)species are held together via hydrogen bonds by coordinated water molecules, lattice water molecules and nitrogen atoms of cyanide groups to form a three-dimensional framework.     

Photoinduced magnetism in core/shell Prussian blue analogue heterostructures of K(j)Ni(k)[Cr(CN)6]l·nH2O with Rb(a)Co(b)[Fe(CN)6]c·mH2O

Core/shell and core/shell/shell particles comprised of the Prussian blue analogues K(j)Ni(k)[Cr(CN)(6)](l)·nH(2)O (A) and Rb(a)Co(b)[Fe(CN)(6)](c)·mH(2)O (B) have been prepared for the purpose of studying persistent photoinduced magnetization in the heterostructures. Synthetic procedures have been refined to allow controlled growth of relatively thick (50-100 nm) consecutive layers of the Prussian blue analogues while minimizing the mixing of materials at the interfaces. Through changes in the order in which the two components are added, particles with AB, ABA, BA, and BAB sequences have been prepared. The two Prussian blue analogues were chosen because B is photoswitchable, and A is ferromagnetic with a relatively high magnetic ordering temperature, ~70 K, although it is not known to exhibit photoinduced changes in its magnetic properties. Magnetization measurements on the heterostructured particles performed prior to irradiation show behavior characteristic of the individual components. On the other hand, after irradiation with visible light, the heterostructures undergo persistent photoinduced changes in magnetization associated with both the B and A analogues. The results suggest that structural changes in the photoactive B component distort the normally photoinactive A component, leading to a change in its magnetization.

The magnetic properties of (1) and (2) have been investigated in the 5–300 K range. Compound (1) exhibits a weak antiferromagnetic interaction with Weiss constant = –0.35 K; compound (2) shows ferromagnetic intralayer and antiferromagnetic interlayer interactions.

A novel manganese(II) complex with phen ligands: hydrothermal synthesis,structure and magnetic properties of [Mn(phen)(H2O)4] SO4·2H2O

A novel manganese(II) complex, [Mn(phen)(H₂O)₄]SO₄·2H₂O (1), has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The manganese(II) complex contains only one phen ligand and four water ligands. By a catalytic test, complex 1 provided direct evidence that phen is a key ligand instead of an auxiliary one in manganese catalase mimics. Magnetic susceptibility measurements for complex 1 have been performed down to 2?K, suggesting paramagnetic behavior for this complex.     

Syntheses and structural determination of eight-coordinate Na[YbIII(Cydta)(H2O)2] · 5H2O and [YbIII(Hegta)] · 2H2O complexes

Na[Yb^III(Cydta)(H₂O)₂] · 5H₂O (1) (H₄Cydta = trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) and [Yb^III(Hegta)] · 2H₂O (2) (H₄egta = ethyleneglycol-bis-(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) were prepared and their composition and structures were determined by elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Complex 1 crystallized in the triclinic crystal system with space group P 1; the Yb^III is eight-coordinate by a hexadentate Cydta and two water molecules. Complex 2 is a protonated egta complex, crystallized in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P 2 ₁ /c; Yb^III is coordinated only by the octadentate Hegta ligand. Both these complexes adopt a pseudo-square antiprismatic conformation.

The coordination polyhedra are tricapped trigonal prism for Na₄[Dy^III(dtpa)(H₂O)]₂?·?16H₂O and Na₃[Dy^III(nta)₂(H₂O)]?·?5.5H₂O, but monocapped square antiprism for Na[Dy^III(edta)(H₂O)₃]?·?3.25H₂O. The crystal structures of these three complexes are completely different from one another. The three-dimensional geometries of three polymers are 3-D layer-shaped structure for Na₄[Dy^III(dtpa)(H₂O)]₂?·?16H₂O, 1-D zigzag type structure for Na[Dy^III(edta)(H₂O)₃]?·?3.25H₂O and a 2-D parallelogram for Na₃[Dy^III(nta)₂(H₂O)]?·?5.5H₂O.

Crystal structure of CsLnFe(CN)6·5H2O (Ln=Ce,Pr, Nd), CsCeFe(CN)6·4H2O,and TlTmRu(CN)6·3H2O

We have investigated the crystal structures of CsLnFe(CN)₆·nH₂O (Ln=lanthanide, n=4,5), as well as TlTmRu(CN)₆·3H₂O. These phases can be thought of as derivatives of LnFe(CN)₆·4H₂O, where, simultaneously, an alkali ion (or Tl⁺) is introduced while the valence of Fe is reduced from Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺. A new arrangement of the structural units is observed in the CsLnFe(CN)₆·5H₂O, where the coordination of the Ln-ion is changed to a bisdisphenoid. The resulting LnN₅O₃ units alternate with Fe(CN)₆ units to form an overall rocksalt-type ralted lattice that accommodates the alkali ions in interstitial sites. Due to the arrangement of the water molecules, a layer structure results.     

Syntheses,crystal structures and magnetic properties of heteronuclear bimetallic compounds of [Cu(pdc)2][M(H2O)5]·2H2O [M=Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II); pdc=2,6-pyridinedicarboxylato]

The complexes [M(H₂O)₅][Cu(pdc)₂]·2H₂O [M=Ni(II) 1, Co(II) 2, Mn(II) 3; pcd=2,6-pyridinedicarboxylato] are prepared and their crystal structures, magnetic susceptibilities and UV-Visible properties reported. In all cases, the Cu(II) ion occupies the chelating site in the pdc ligand, while the M(II) occurs as a pentaaqua ion bridged to the [Cu(pdc)₂] moiety through a carboxylate as demonstrated by both UV-Visible spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows the three complexes to be isostructural. Weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the metal ions are observed in 1 and 3, while the magnetic behavior of 2 is dominated by single ion anisotropy.
