R-phenyldicarboxyl (R = H, NO2 and COOH) modular effect on Ni(II) coordination polymers incorporated with a versatile connector 1H-3-(3-pyridyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole

Based on the versatile ligand 1H-3-(3-pyridyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (3,4′-Hbpt) (1), a series of coordination compounds [Ni(3,4′-Hbpt)(ip)] (2), [Ni(3,4′-Hbpt)₂(tp)(H₂O)₂] (3), [Ni₂(3,4′-Hbpt)(5-NO₂-ip)₂(H₂O)₄] (4) and [Ni(3,4′-Hbpt)(pm)_0.5(H₂O)₃]·2H₂O (5) have been hydrothermally constructed through R-phenyldicarboxyl (R = H, NO₂ and COOH) intervention effect (ip = isophthalic anion, tp = terephthalic anion, 5-NO₂-ip = 5-NO₂-isophthalic anion, pm = pyromellitic anion). Structural analysis reveals that 3,4′-Hbpt adopts μ-N_py, N_py coordination modes in two typical conformations in these target coordination compounds. In cooperation with the auxiliary ligands benzenedicarboxylate connectors, a variety of Ni(II) coordination networks such as 2-D layer with (4, 4) topology (2) 1-D chain (3), honeycomb (4) and 2-D helical chains (5) have been assembled. Theoretical calculation based on density functional theory (DFT) for ligand (1) is also employed to explicate the stability of the different conformations. Moreover, thermal stability of these crystalline materials is explored by TG-DTG.     

Synthesis,structures and magnetic properties of three metal-organic frameworks containing manganese(II)

Two new Mn(II) coordination polymers formed with molecular formula [Mn(H₂O)₂(HBTC)·(H₂O)] 1 and [Mn(H₂O)₂(4,4′bipy)(HBTC)₂]·(H4,4′bipy)₂ 2, where BTC = 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylate and 4,4′bipy = 4,4′bipydine, have been synthesized via hydrothermal approach and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. 1 is composed of Mn–H₂O–Mn 1D chains and further the chains are linked by HBTC ligands to form a 2D network in the ab plane; 2 is constructed by Mn–4,4′bipy–Mn 1D chains along the b direction with Mn²⁺ ions coordinated to H₂BTC and water as terminal ligands to form a 2D network. We also prepared a third compound with the molecular formula of [Mn(H₂O)(HBTC)·(H₂O)] which has been recently structurally reported elsewhere. The magnetic properties of the three compounds have been studied in detail under variable temperatures.

The structural differences of the compounds indicate that the dicarboxylate anions and the central metal ions play important roles in the resulting structures of CPs. Optical band gaps and solid-state photoluminescent properties have also been studied.     

Monomeric and polymeric structures derived from 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid, phenanthroline and metal ions

Under similar hydrothermal synthetic conditions, the reactions of Fe(NO₃)₃/FeCl₂, CuCl₂, NiCl₂, and CdCl₂ with phenanthroline (phen) and 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid (H₄BPTC) afforded complexes [Fe(phen)₃](H₃BPTC)₂ (1), [Cu(phen)(BPTC)_0.5 · H₂O] · H₂O (2), [Ni₃(phen)₃(BPTC)_1.5(H₂O)₅] · 4H₂O (3) and [Cd(phen)(BPTC)_0.5] · H₂O (4). The short Fe–N distance in the monomeric Fe(phen)₃(H₃ BPTC)₂ (1) shows that the Fe(II) is in a low-spin state. H₃ BPTC⁴⁻ acts as a counter-ion in this complex. In [Cu(phen)(BPTC)_0.5 · H₂O] · H₂O (2), the central Cu(II) is five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry. The ligand BPTC⁴⁻ is centrosymmetric and the four deprotonated carboxylic groups of BPTC⁴⁻ are coordinated to four different copper ions to form a 1D ladder complex indicating a comparatively strong coordination. In [Ni₃(phen)₃(BPTC)_1.5(H₂O)₅] · 4H₂O (3), all nickel(II) atoms are in an octahedral coordination environment. There are two different BPTC⁴⁻ ligands; one is centrosymmetric and the other is asymmetric. Metal ions are linked through fully deprotonated BPTC⁴⁻ ligands to form a 2D metal-organic sheet. [Cd(phen)(BPTC)_0.5] · H₂O (4) has a 3D metal-organic framework. TG, IR, and fluorescence data for the complexes are presented.     

Supramolecular cobalt(II) complexes: syntheses,crystal structures and solvent effects

Two Co^II complexes, namely {[CoL(MeOH)(μ-OAc)]₂Co}·2MeCN·2MeOH (1) and {[CoL(EtOH)(μ-OAc)]₂Co}·3EtOH (2) (H₂L=3,3′-dimethoxy-2,2′-[(1,3-propylene)dioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography.

Two hydrogen-bond-cross-linked molybdenum (VI) network polymers: synthesis, crystal structures and cyclooctene epoxidation with H2O2

Two molybdenum (VI) hydrogen-bonded network polymers [MoO₂F₄]·(4,4′-H₂bpd)(H₂O)₂ (1) and [MoO₂Cl₃(H₂O)]·(4,4′-H₂bpd)Cl (2) (bpd = bipiperidine) have been synthesized and examined as catalysts for epoxidation of cyclooctene. Complexes of the Mo compounds containing the bpd ligand are prepared and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and elemental analyses. They have been structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structures of both the complexes are shown to be comprised of molybdenum and two protonated N-ligand cations that have resulted in a cross-linked hydrogen-bonded network structure. These complexes are applicable as catalysts for the cis-cyclooctene epoxidation reactions with hydrogen peroxide as a source of oxygen and NaHCO₃ as a cocatalyst. It has been observed that the formation of the oxidant peroxymonocarbonate ion, HCO₄ ⁻ by hydrogen peroxide and bicarbonate enhances the epoxidation reaction. Both the complexes have exhibited a good activity and a very high selectivity for the formation of cyclooctene oxide. An erratum to this article can be found at

Hydrothermal reactions of 1H-3-(2-pyridyl)-5-(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (2,3′-Hbpt) with CdCl₂ and CdI₂ yielded three new coordination polymers, {[CdCl(2,3′-bpt)(H₂O)]·2H₂O}_n (1), {[Cd₂I₃(2,3′-H_0.5bpt)₂]}_n (2), and [CdI₃(2,3′-Hbpt)](2,3′-H₂bpt)·H₂O (3). Structural analysis reveals that 1 has a 1-D double chain structure; in 2, 2,3′-bpt bridges adjacent Cd(II) ions to form a 1-D twofold helical chain, which further connects via μ₂-I^-, giving a 2-D grid structure in the ab plane; 3 is mononuclear. These complexes are further connected through weak hydrogen bonding interactions, and/or weak π···π stacking interactions, to generate 3-D supramolecular structures. The fluorescence properties of 1 and 2 have been investigated in the solid state at room temperature.     

Four complexes with a bulky carboxylate ligand: syntheses,crystal structures,and luminescent properties

Abstract  

Four complexes of 3,3-diphenylpropanoate (L) and 4,4′-bipyridine as auxiliary bridging ligands were synthesized and characterized, namely [Zn(L)₂(4bpy)(EtOH)₂]_∞ (1), [Co(L)₂(4bpy)(EtOH)₂]_∞ (2), [Ni(L)₂(4bpy)(EtOH)₂]_∞ (3), and [Cu(L)₂(4bpy)(H₂O)]_∞ (4) (4bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine). X-ray single-crystal diffraction analyses show that complexes 1–4 all take one-dimensional (1D) fishbone-like structures incorporating bridging 4bpy ligands. The complexes show different supramolecular frameworks interlinked via intermolecular hydrogen bonds, π···π stacking, and/or C–H···π supramolecular interactions. Complex 3 only has a simple one-dimensional fishbone-like chain, whereas complexes 1 and 2 show two-dimensional supramolecular structures by interchain C–H···O hydrogen bonds. Complex 4 is assembled into two-dimensional layers and then an overall three-dimensional framework by a combination of interchain O–H···O hydrogen bonds and C–H···π supramolecular interactions. The luminescent properties of the ligands and their complexes were investigated.     

Phosphodiester hydrolysis promoted by dinuclear iron(III) complexes

We report the reactivity of three binuclear non-heme Fe(III) compounds, namely [Fe₂(bbppnol)(μ-AcO)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ (1), [Fe₂(bbppnol)(μ-AcO)₂](PF₆) (2), and [Fe₂(bbppnol)(μ-OH)(Cl)₂]·6H₂O (3), where H₃bbppnol = N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N,N′-bis(2-methylpyridyl)–1,3-propanediamine-2-ol, toward the hydrolysis of bis-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)phosphate as models for phosphoesterase activity. The synthesis and characterization of the new complexes 1 and 3 was also described. The reactivity differences observed for these complexes show that the accessibility of the substrate to the reaction site is one of the key steps that determinate the hydrolysis efficiency.     

Influence of organic carboxylic acids on self-assembly of silver(I) complexes containing 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane ligands

Four silver(I) complexes, namely [Ag₂(bpe)₂](bdc)·8H₂O (1), [Ag₂(bpe)₂(da)]·4H₂O (2), [Ag₄(bpe)₃(bptc)]·9H₂O (3), and Ag(bpe)₂(bpdc)₂ (4), have been successfully synthesized by the reactions between AgNO₃, 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpe) and different carboxylic acids, including 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H₂bdc), diphenic acid (H₂da), 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid (H₄bptc), and 2,2′-bipyridine-3,3′-dicarboxylic acid (H₂bpdc). All four compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In (1), the Ag(I) atoms, in linear geometry, are joined into 1-D infinite cationic bpe-silver chains, and discrete bdc²⁻ anions compensate the charge of the crystal structure. In (2), the Ag(I) atoms, adopting tetrahedral and trigonal geometries, are linked by bpe and da²⁻ ligands into neutral double chains. In (3), the Ag(I) atoms, in T-shaped and linear environments, are coordinated by bpe and multidentate bptc⁴⁻ ligands to construct a 2-D network. And in (4), the Ag(I) atoms, with trigonal and T-shaped coordination geometries, are coordinated by bpe and bpdc²⁻ ligands to build up a 3-D framework. The different anions play different and important roles in directing the final crystal structures.

Solid complexes of iron(II) and iron(III) with rutin

Solid complex compounds of Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions with rutin were obtained. On the basis of the elementary analysis and thermogravimetric investigation, the following composition of the compounds was determined: (1) FeOH(C₂₇H₂₉O₁₆)·5H₂O, (2) Fe₂OH(C₂₇H₂₇O₁₆)·9H₂O, (3) Fe(OH)₂(C₂₇H₂₉O₁₆)·8H₂O, (4) [Fe₆(OH)₂(4H₂O)(C₁₅H₇O₁₂)SO₄]·10H₂O. The coordination site in a rutin molecule was established on the basis of spectroscopic data (UV–Vis and IR). It was supposed that rutin was bound to the iron ions via 4C=O and 5C—oxygen in the case of (1) and (3). Groups 5C–OH and 4C=O as well as 3′C–OH and 4′C–OH of the ligand participate in binding metals ions in the case of (2). At an excess of iron(III) ions with regard to rutin under the synthesis conditions of (4), a side reaction of ligand oxidation occurs. In this compound, the ligands’ role plays a quinone which arose after rutin oxidation and the substitution of Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions takes place in 4C=O, 5C–OH as well as 4′C–OH, 3′C–OH ligands groups. The magnetic measurements indicated that (1) and (3) are high-spin complexes.
