The binuclear complex [Cu₂(TS)(H₂O)]·CH₃OH, where TS denotes the binucleating ligand derived from the schiff base N,N′-bis(3-carboxylsalidene)trimethylenediamine, was obtained from the self-decomposition of mononuclear complex Na₂CuTS·H₂O. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c. The lattice parameters are a=11.935(2)?,b=15.667(3)?,c=11.621(2)?,β=111.60(3)°,V=2020.2(7)?³, Z=4 with R=0.0467. The structure is made of binuclear units, in which two copper atoms are bridged by two phenolic oxygen atoms. The “inside”copper atom is coordinated by two nitrogens, two phenolic oxygens in a planar coordi-nation site, the copper atom deviates from the mean plane by 0.47?. The “outside” copper atom is five coordinated by two phenolic oxygen atoms、two equatorial carboxyl oxygen atoms and one axial water oxygen atom in a distorted tetragonal cone site, the copper atom is pulled out of the equatorial plane by 0.46?.

Toward rational control of metal stoichiometry in heterobimetallic coordination complexes: synthesis and characterization of Pb(Hsal)2(Cu(salen*))2, [Pb(NO3)(Cu(salen*))2](NO3), Pb(OAc)2(Cu(salen*)), and [Pb(OAc)(Ni(salen*))2](OAc)

The ability of the transition metal complex M(salen)* (M = Ni, Cu) to form Lewis acid-base adducts with lead(II) salts has been explored. The new complexes Pb(Hsal)(2)(Cu(salen*))(2) (1), [Pb(NO(3))(Cu(salen*))(2)](NO(3)) (2), Pb(OAc)(2)(Cu(salen*)) (3), and [Pb(OAc)(Ni(salen*)(2)](OAc) (4) (Hsal = O(2)CC(6)H(4)-2-OH, salen* = bis(3-methoxy)salicylideneimine) have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination environment of the lead in the heterobimetallic complex is sensitive both to the initial lead salt and to the transition metal salen* complex that is employed in the synthesis. As a result, we have been able to access both 2:1 and 1:1 adducts by varying either the lead salt or the transition metal in the heterobimetallic coordination complex. In all cases, the salen* complex is associated with the lead center via dative interactions of the phenolic oxygen atoms. The relationship between the coordination requirements of the lead and the chemical nature of the anion is examined. In compound 1, the Pb(2+) ion is chelated by two Cu(salen*) moieties, and both salicylate ligands remain attached to the lead center and bridge to the Cu(2+) ions. The two Cu(salen*) groups are roughly parallel and opposed to each other as required by crystallographic inversion symmetry at lead. In contrast, the two Cu(salen*) groups present in 2 and 4 attached to the lead ion show considerable overlap. Furthermore, only one nitrate ion in 2 and one acetate ion in 4 remain bonded to the lead center. Compound 3 is unique in that only one Cu(salen*) group can bind to lead. Here, both acetate ligands remain attached, although one is chelating bidentate and the other is monodentate.     

Synthesis,X-ray crystal structure and electrochemical properties of (dithiolato)(diimine)copper(II) complexes: [Cu(mnt)(phen)] n and [Cu(dmit)(phen)] 2

Copper (II) complexes [Cu(dmit)(phen)]₂ (1) and [Cu(mnt)(phen)] _n (2) (mnt^2??=?maleonitriledithiolate, dmit^2??=?1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate, phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline) have been prepared by ligand-exchange between phen and [N(Bu)₄]₂[Cu(dmit)₂] or [N(Bu)₄]₂[Cu(mnt)₂]. Both complexes have been characterized by spectroscopic, electrochemical, and single-crystal X-ray analysis. In complex 1, dimers are extended into a two-dimensional array by weak S5–Cu contacts. In complex 2, monomers are extended into chains in a head-to-tail arrangement by weak Cu–S coordination bonds and π–π stacking interactions.     

Synthesis of [NH(4)]MnCl(2)(OAc) and [NH(4)](2)MnCl(4)(H(2)O)(2) by solvothermal dehydration and structure/property correlations in a one-dimensional antiferromagnet

The utility of the solvothermal dehydration strategy whereby superheated acetonitrile reacts with water of hydration to form ammonium acetate is demonstrated in the synthesis of [NH(4)]MnCl(2)(OAc), I, and [NH(4)](2)MnCl(4)(H(2)O)(2), II, from MnCl(2).4H(2)O. The structure of I is shown to crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c (No. 15) with a = 15.191(6) A, b = 7.044(2) A, c = 13.603(6) A, beta = 107.31 degrees, V = 1389.7(9) cm(-)(1), and Z = 8. The structure of II crystallizes in the space group I4/mmm (No. 139) with a = 7.5250(5) A, b = 8.276(2) A, V = 468.6(1) cm(-)(1), and Z = 2. Both structures exhibit extensive hydrogen bonding that controls both local Mn-Cl bonding and the interchain organization. I is shown to be a one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet with an intrachain exchange constant J/k = -2.39 K. This structure exhibits exchange coupling intermediate between the well-studied triply and doubly chloride-bridged one-dimensional manganese Heisenberg antiferromagnets. The structure/property correlation demonstrates a linear dependence of the exchange constant on the Mn-Cl-Mn bond angle, alpha, for alpha < 94 degrees.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Copper(II) and Zinc(II) Tricyanomethanide (tcm) Complexes with Di(2‐pyridyl)amine (dpyam) as Co‐ligands: [Cu(dpyam)(tcm)2], [Cu(dpyam)(tcm)(OAc)] and Zn(dpyam)2(tcm)2

Three new transition metal tricyanomethanide complexes [Cu(dpyam)(tcm)₂] ( 1 ), [Cu(dpyam)(tcm)(OAc)] ( 2 ) and Zn(dpyam)₂(tcm)₂ ( 3 ) were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. In 1 each copper(II) atom is coordinated to three tcm anions and one dpyam molecule to form a square pyramide geometry. In 2 the coordination geometry around the central metal is also square pyramidal, and each copper atom is surrounded by two tcm anions, one dpyam ligand and one OAc. Both 1 and 2 display a µ_1,5‐tcm bridged infinite chain structure. In 3 each zinc(II) atom is coordinated by two tcm anions and two dpyam molecules to form a distorted octahedral geometry. Different from the former two complexes, 3 shows a mononuclear structure. Magnetic susceptibility measurement in the range 2–300 K indicates that there are weak antiferromagnetic couplings between adjacent copper(II) ions in 1 (J=?0.03 cm^?1) and 2 (J=?0.11 cm^?1) respectively.     

3D coordination framework [Ln(4)(mu(3)-OH)(2)Cu(6)I(5)(IN)(8)(OAc)(3)] (IN = isonicotinate): employing 2D layers of lanthanide wheel clusters and 1D chains of copper halide clusters

Two novel 3D heterometallic coordination polymers, Ln(4)(mu(3)-OH)(2)Cu(6)I(5)(IN)(8)(OAc)(3) (Ln = Nd (1), Pr (2); HIN = isonicotinic acid, HOAc = acetic acid), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental, infrared, and thermogravimetric analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/c. Both polymers are constructed from 2D lanthanide-cluster polymers based on the {Ln(16)} wheel-cluster and 1D copper-cluster polymers based on the {Cu(6)I(5)} cluster, which represent the first examples of 3D coordination frameworks created by using a combination of two different types of metal-cluster polymer units, namely, a high-nuclearity lanthanide-cluster polymer and a transition-metal-cluster polymer.     

Cation ordering in natural and synthetic (Cu(1-x)Zn(x))(2)CO(3)(OH)(2) and (Cu(1-x)Zn(x))(5)(CO(3))(2)(OH)(6)

In the present paper we report combined experimental and theoretical studies of the UV-vis-NIR spectra of the mineral compounds malachite, rosasite, and aurichalcite and of the precursor compounds for Cu/ZnO catalysts. For the copper species in the minerals the crystal field splitting and the vibronic coupling constants are estimated using the exchange charge model of the crystal field accounting for the exchange and covalence effects. On this basis the transitions responsible for the formation of the optical bands arising from the copper centers in minerals are determined and the profiles of the absorption bands corresponding to these centers are calculated. The profiles of the absorption bands calculated as a sum of bands of their respective Cu species are in quite good agreement with the experimental data. In agreement with crystal chemical considerations, the Zn ions were found to be preferentially located on the more regular, i.e., less distorted, octahedral sites in zincian malachite and rosasite, suggesting a high degree of metal ordering in these phases. This concept also applies for the mineral aurichalcite, but not for synthetic aurichalcite, which seems to exhibit a lower degree of metal ordering. The catalyst precursor was found to be a mixture of zincian malachite and a minor amount of aurichalcite. The best fit of the optical spectrum is obtained assuming a mixture of contributions from malachite (0% Zn) and rosasite (38% Zn of [Zn + Cu]), which is probably due to the intermediate Zn content of the precursor (30%).     

New Cu(II) complexes based on the hydroxo-bridged dinuclear [Cu(OH)2Cu] units: step-like di- and trimerizations of [Cu(OH)2Cu] units

Four new Cu(II) complexes {[Cu(4)(bpy)(4)(OH)(4)(H(2)O)(2)]}(NO(3))(2)(C(7)H(5)O(2))(2)·6H(2)O 1, {[Cu(4)(bpy)(4)(OH)(4)(H(2)O)(2)]}(NO(3))(2)(C(5)H(6)O(4))·8H(2)O 2, {[Cu(4)(bpy)(4)(OH)(4)(H(2)O)(2)]}(C(5)H(6)O(4))(2)·16H(2)O 3 and {[Cu(6)(bpy)(6)(OH)(6)(H(2)O)(2)]}(C(8)H(7)O(2))(6)·12H(2)O 4 were synthesized (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, H(2)(C(5)H(6)O(4)) = glutaric acid, H(C(7)H(5)O(2)) = benzoic acid, H(C(8)H(7)O(2)) = phenyl acetic acid). The building units in 1-3 are the tetranuclear [Cu(4)(bpy)(4)(H(2)O)(2)(μ(2)-OH)(2)(μ(3)-OH)(2)](4+) complex cations, and in 4 the hexanuclear [Cu(6)(bpy)(6)(H(2)O)(2)(μ(2)-OH)(2)(μ(3)-OH)(4)](6+) complex cations, respectively. The tetra- and hexanuclear cluster cores [Cu(4)(μ(2)-OH)(2)(μ(3)-OH)(2)] and [Cu(6)(μ(2)-OH)(2)(μ(3)-OH)(4)] in the complex cations could be viewed as from step-like di- and trimerization of the well-known hydroxo-bridged dinuclear [Cu(2)(μ(2)-OH)(2)] entities via the out-of-plane Cu-O(H) bonds. The complex cations are supramolecularly assembled into (4,4) topological networks via intercationic ππ stacking interactions. The counteranions and lattice H(2)O molecules are sandwiched between the 2D cationic networks to form hydrogen-bonded networks in 1-3, while the phenyl acetate anions and the lattice H(2)O molecules generate 3D hydrogen-bonded anionic framework to interpenetrate with the (4,4) topological cationic networks with the hexanuclear complex cations in the channels. The ferromagnetic coupling between Cu(II) ions in the [Cu(4)(μ(2)-OH)(2)(μ(3)-OH)(2)] cores of 1-3 is significantly stronger via equatorial-equatorial OH(-) bridges than via equatorial-apical ones. The outer and the central [Cu(2)(OH)(2)] unit within the [Cu(6)(μ(2)-OH)(2)(μ(3)-OH)(4)] cluster cores in 4 exhibit weak ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions, respectively. Results about i.r. spectra, thermal and elemental analyses are presented.     

Catalytic O2 evolution from water induced by adsorption of [OH2)(terpy)Mn(mu-O)2Mn(terpy)(OH2)]3+ complex onto clay compounds

Water oxidation to evolve O2 in photosynthesis is catalyzed by an enzyme whose active site contains a mu-oxo-bridged manganese core. Catalytic O2 evolution has been difficult to establish by manganese-oxo complexes in homogeneous aqueous solutions. The reaction of [(OH2)(terpy)MnIII(mu-O)2MnIV(terpy)(OH2)]3+ (terpy = 2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine) (1) with a CeIV oxidant leads to the decomposition of 1 to the permanganate ion without O2 evolution in an aqueous solution but catalytically produces O2 from water when 1 is adsorbed on clay compounds. 18O-labeling experiments showed that the oxygen atoms in O2 originate exclusively from water. Catalysis of O2 evolution requires cooperation of 2 equiv of 1 adsorbed on clay compounds.     

Synthesis of an open-framework copper-germanium phosphate [Cu(H2O)2(OH)]2Ge(PO4)2

A novel open-framework material [Cu(H(2)O)(2)(OH)](2)Ge(PO(4))(2), which was synthesized by a hydrothermal method, is built of GeO(6), CuO(6) octahedra and PO(4) tetrahedra, and possesses a network of interconnecting six- and eight-membered ring channels.     

Unexpected Formation of the Mixed Ligand Complexes [Cu(OAc)(bipy)2]Cl·4H2O·1/2MeOH and [Co(OH2)2(phen)2](OAc)2·6H2O,and their Crystal Structures

The mononuclear compounds [Cu(OAc)(bipy)₂]Cl·4H₂O·1/2MeOH( 1 ) and [Co(OH₂)₂(phen)₂](OAc)₂·6H₂O( 2 ) were unexpectedly obtained as single crystals from mother liquors left following isolation of the expected products of the reactions, in ethanol of Cu(OAc)₂, benzylic acid and 2, 2'‐bipyridine (for 1 ) and Co(OAc)₂, D, L‐mandelic acid and 1, 10‐phenanthroline (for 2 ). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and electronic spectroscopy and magnetic measurements at room temperature and their structures were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. In 1 , the pentacoordinated copper atom has a basically square pyramidal coordination polyhedron, while in 2 the cobalt atom has a distorted octahedral environment. In both cases, the complexes are linked by hydrogen bonds and aromatic‐aromatic interactions.     

Ring-opening Copolymerization of Cyclohexene Oxide and Maleic Anhydride Catalyzed by Mononuclear [Zn（L）（H2O）] or Binuclear [Zn2（L）（OAc）2（H2O）] Complex Based on the Salen-type Schiff-base Ligand

From the self-assembly of the typical Salen-type Schiff-base ligand H2L and Zn(OAc)2·2H2O in the molar ratio of 1:1 or 1:2, the mononuclear [Zn(L)(H2O)](1) or binuclear [Zn2(L)(OAc)2(H2O)](2) are obtained, respectively. For both complexes 1 and 2, the unsaturated five-coordinate coordination environment to the catalytic active centers(Zn2+ ions) permits the monomer insertion for the effective solution copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and maleic anhydride. All the solution copolymerizations afford poly(ester-co-ether)s, while lower catalyst and co-catalyst concentrations are helpful for the formation of alternating polyester. Of the three co-catalysts, 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine is found to be the most efficient, while an excess thereof is detrimental for chain growth of the copolymers.     

In(2)(OH)(3)(BDC)(1.5) (BDC = 1,4-benzendicarboxylate): an In(III) supramolecular 3D framework with catalytic activity

The new hybrid inorganic-organic polymer In(2)(OH)(3)[O(4)C(8)H(4)](1.5) has been hydrothermally obtained. Conditions for the synthesis are reported. The crystal structure of this material has been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: it is monoclinic, with space group P2(1)/c (Nomicron. 14), a = 6.772(1) A, b = 10.329(2) A, c = 20.152(3) A, beta = 97.573(3) degrees. The In atoms are octahedrally coordinated by three hydroxide groups and three different molecules of carboxylate ligand. The resulting polymeric 3D structure can be envisaged as having been generated from a honeycomb (6,3) 2D that is cross-linked by the BDC organic anions. Data of IR and TGA-DTA studies, as well as the results of reduction of nitroaromatics and selective oxidation of organic sulfide reactions catalyzed by the new material, are reported.     

Electronic modification of the [Ru(II)(tpy)(bpy)(OH(2))](2+) scaffold: effects on catalytic water oxidation

The mechanistic details of the Ce(IV)-driven oxidation of water mediated by a series of structurally related catalysts formulated as [Ru(tpy)(L)(OH(2))](2+) [L = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1; 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine (bpy-OMe), 2; 4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine (bpy-CO(2)H), 3; tpy = 2,2';6',2'-terpyridine] is reported. Cyclic voltammetry shows that each of these complexes undergo three successive (proton-coupled) electron-transfer reactions to generate the [Ru(V)(tpy)(L)O](3+) ([Ru(V)=O](3+)) motif; the relative positions of each of these redox couples reflects the nature of the electron-donating or withdrawing character of the substituents on the bpy ligands. The first two (proton-coupled) electron-transfer reaction steps (k(1) and k(2)) were determined by stopped-flow spectroscopic techniques to be faster for 3 than 1 and 2. The addition of one (or more) equivalents of the terminal electron-acceptor, (NH(4))(2)[Ce(NO(3))(6)] (CAN), to the [Ru(IV)(tpy)(L)O](2+) ([Ru(IV)=O](2+)) forms of each of the catalysts, however, leads to divergent reaction pathways. The addition of 1 eq of CAN to the [Ru(IV)=O](2+) form of 2 generates [Ru(V)=O](3+) (k(3) = 3.7 M(-1) s(-1)), which, in turn, undergoes slow O-O bond formation with the substrate (k(O-O) = 3 × 10(-5) s(-1)). The minimal (or negligible) thermodynamic driving force for the reaction between the [Ru(IV)=O](2+) form of 1 or 3 and 1 eq of CAN results in slow reactivity, but the rate-determining step is assigned as the liberation of dioxygen from the [Ru(IV)-OO](2+) level under catalytic conditions for each complex. Complex 2, however, passes through the [Ru(V)-OO](3+) level prior to the rapid loss of dioxygen. Evidence for a competing reaction pathway is provided for 3, where the [Ru(V)=O](3+) and [Ru(III)-OH](2+) redox levels can be generated by disproportionation of the [Ru(IV)=O](2+) form of the catalyst (k(d) = 1.2 M(-1) s(-1)). An auxiliary reaction pathway involving the abstraction of an O-atom from CAN is also implicated during catalysis. The variability of reactivity for 1-3, including the position of the RDS and potential for O-atom transfer from the terminal oxidant, is confirmed to be intimately sensitive to electron density at the metal site through extensive kinetic and isotopic labeling experiments. This study outlines the need to strike a balance between the reactivity of the [Ru═O](z) unit and the accessibility of higher redox levels in pursuit of robust and reactive water oxidation catalysts.     

Raman spectroscopy of the multi anion mineral arsentsumebite Pb2Cu(AsO4)(SO4)(OH) and in comparison with tsumebite Pb2Cu(PO4)(SO4)(OH)

The mineral arsentsumebite Pb(2)Cu(AsO(4))(SO(4))(OH), a copper arsenate-sulphate hydroxide of the brackebuschite group has been characterised by Raman spectroscopy. The brackebuschite mineral group are a series of monoclinic arsenates, phosphates and vanadates of the general formula A(2)B(XO(4))(OH,H(2)O), where A may be Ba, Ca, Pb, Sr, while B may be Al, Cu(2+),Fe(2+), Fe(3+), Mn(2+), Mn(3+), Zn and XO(4) may be AsO(4), PO(4), SO(4),VO(4). Bands are assigned to the stretching and bending modes of SO(4)(2-) AsO(4)(3-) and HOAsO(3) units. Raman spectroscopy readily distinguishes between the two minerals arsentsumebite and tsumebite. Raman bands attributed to arsenate are not observed in the Raman spectrum of tsumebite. Phosphate bands found in the Raman spectrum of tsumebite are not found in the Raman spectrum of arsentsumebite. Raman spectroscopy readily distinguishes the two minerals tsumebite and arsentsumebite.
