Adiabatic calorimetry of the metallomesogen purple cobalt stearate Co(O2CC17H35)2

The heat capacity of the metallomesogen purple cobalt stearate Co(O₂CC₁₇H₃₅)₂ has been measured by adiabatic calorimetry at temperatures between 16 and 420?K. This compound exhibits two crystalline phases (low temperature Cr2 and high temperature Cr1 phases), mesophase (M phase), and isotropic liquid (I phase). A third crystalline phase Cr3, which is entirely metastable with respect to all the others, is suggested by DSC studies. The Cr2-to-Cr1, Cr1-to-M, and M-to-I phase transitions occurred at 362.1, 380.9, and 400.4?K, respectively. The enthalpy and entropy gains at these phase transitions were determined. The mesophase is either smectic A or nematic.     

Triethylenetetramine(3-sulfinatopropanoato-O,S)cobalt(III) isomers: Synthesis and structure of α-cis-[Co(Trien)(O2CC2H4SO2)]ClO4 · 2H2O and β-cis-[Co(Trien)(O2CC2H4SO2)]ClO4

The α-cis-and β-cis-isomers of (triethylenetetramine)(3-sulfinatopropanoato-O,S)cobalt(III) cation were synthesized and crystal structures of their perchlorates were established. The 3-sulfinatopropanoate anion, which forms six-membered ring with the Co atom, is bonded to the latter through the S atom and the carboxyl O atom.     

KCo(H2O)2BP2O8·0.48H2O and K0.17Ca0.42Co(H2O)2BP2O8·H2O: two cobalt borophosphates with helical ribbons and disordered (K,Ca)/H2O schemes

The two title compounds, potassium diaquacobalt(II) borodiphosphate 0.48‐hydrate and potassium–calcium(0.172/0.418) diaquacobalt(II) borodiphosphate monohydrate, were synthesized hydrothermally. They are new members of the borophosphate family characterized by _∞[BP₂O₈]³⁻ helices running along [001] and constructed of boron (Wyckoff position 6b, twofold axis) and phosphorus tetrahedra. The [CoBP₂O₈]⁻ anionic frameworks in the two materials are structurally similar and result from a connection in the ab plane between the CoO₄(H₂O)₂ coordination octahedra (6b position) and the helical ribbons. Nevertheless, the two structures differ in the disorder schemes of the K,Ca and H₂O species. The alkali cations in the structure of the pure potassium compound are disordered over three independent positions, one of them located on a 6b site. Its framework is characterized by double occupation of the tunnels by water molecules located on twofold rotation axes (6b) and a fraction of alkali cations; its cell parameters, compared with those for the mixed K,Ca compound, show abnormal changes, presumably due to the disorder. For the K,Ca compound, the K and Ca cations are on twofold axes (6b) and the channels are occupied only by disordered solvent water molecules. This shows that it is possible, due to the flexibility of the helices, to replace the alkali and alkaline earth cations while retaining the crystal framework.     

桥联双核配合物[(DPC)2Co2(H2O)5]·2H2O的合成与晶体结构

The new complex formulated [(DPC)₂Co₂(H₂O)₅]·2H₂O (HDPC^- is pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate) has been synthesized and the crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the complex belongs to monoclinic system with space group P2₁/c, a=0.83850(10) nm, b=2.7386(4) nm, c=0.9610(2) nm, β=98.280 (10) °, V=2.1838(6) nm³, Z=4, D_c=1.746 g·cm^-3, μ=1.597 mm^-1. In the crystal the two Co²⁺ are in distorted octahedrons. The part of [Co(DPC)₂] possess an approximate D_2d symmetry, while the part of [OCo₍₂₎(OH₂)₅] has an approximate C₂ symmetry.

Crystal structures of cobalt(II) complexes with N-(2-hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetic and N,N-bis(2-carbamoylethyl)aminoacetic acids: Co(Heida)·2H2O and Co(Bcegly)(ClO4)·2H2O

The cobalt atom in the structures studied is situated in the center of an octahedron involving donor atoms N and 3O organic ligands Heida or Bcegly (ions of hydroxyethyliminodiacetate or bis(carbamoylethyl)aminoacetate, respectively), water molecule oxygen atom, and a carboxylic atom of the neighboring ligand in the trans-position to the N atom, so that each (II) ion is linked with two organic anions. This results in a formation of infinite chains — uncharged [Co(Heida)(H₂O)]_n or cationic {[Co(Bcegly)(H₂O)]⁺}_n. In both cases, a molecule of crystallization water is present, and in the second case, the charge of the chains is compensated by perchlorate ions. Aminoacetic cycle of the Heida ligand is approximately coplanar to another such cycle, while a similar cycle of the Bcegly ligand is in the plane of one of six-membered aminopropionamide cycles.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of a layered cobalt phenylphosphonate, Co(PhPO3)(H2O)

We report the hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of a layered cobalt phenylphosphonate. Unlike most metal phosphonates reported to date, the structure was solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD). Co(ii) centres are hexa-coordinated by oxygen and the octahedra corner-share into a layer. The layers are capped by phenylphosphonate groups, where the phenyl groups define a hydrophobic bilayer region. The material was also characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) magnetometry. The material undergoes an antiferromagnetic transition at a relatively low Néel temperature of 4.0 K, while the Curie-Weiss temperature of -76.5 K reflects the low-dimensionality of the magnetic structure. The effective magnetic moment of 5.01 micro(B) per Co(2+) verifies a high-spin configuration and an octahedral coordination of the metal centres. This layered material was correctly predicted in the literature from powder data, adds to the structural diversity of the cobalt phosphonates, and may be useful as an intercalation or exfoliation compound.

Diffusivity fractionations of H2(16)O/H2(17)O and H2(16)O/H2(18)O in air and their implications for isotope hydrology

We have determined the isotope effects of (17)O and (18)O substitution of (16)O in H(2)O on molecular diffusivities of water vapor in air by the use of evaporation experiments. The derived diffusion fractionation coefficients (17)alpha(diff) and (18)alpha(diff) are 1.0146 +/- 0.0002 and 1.0283 +/- 0.0003, respectively. We also determined, for the first time, the ratio ln((17)alpha(diff))/ln((18)alpha(diff)) as 0.5185 +/- 0.0002. This ratio, which is in excellent agreement with the theoretical value of 0.5184, is significantly smaller than the ratio in vapor-liquid equilibrium (0.529). We show how this new experimental information gives rise to (17)O excess in meteoric water, and how it can be applied in isotope hydrology.     

Novel example of a chain structure formed by 1,4-dioxane and cobalt(II) links. Chain [Co3(mu-OOCCF3)4(mu-H2O)2(OOCCF3)2(H2O)2(C4H8O2)].2C4H8O2

The trimer [Co3(mu-OOCCF3)4(mu-H2O)2(OOCCF3)2(H2O)2(C4H8O2)].2C4H8O2. (1) is composed of three tetragonally distorted Co(II) centers bridged by four trifluoroacetates and two bridging water molecules. 1,4-Dioxane is coordinated at a distance of 2.120(3) A from the terminal cobalt Co2; the remaining oxygen of this 1,4-dioxane links the terminal cobalt to a neighbor trimer, forming a one-dimensional chain. The crystal structure displays a network of hydrogen bonds between four noncoordinated 1,4-dioxane molecules and the coordinated terminal water molecules. The magnetic properties of 1 were analyzed with the use of the Hamiltonian including isotropic exchange interactions between real spins of a high-spin Co(II), spin-orbit coupling and a low-symmetry crystal field acting within the (4)T(1g) ground manifold of each cobalt ion. A weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between cobalt ions in 1 was found. The results of the magnetic model are in good agreement with the experimental observations.     

Co(C2(COO)2)(H2O)4 · 2 H2O und Co(C2(COO)2)(H2O)2: zwei Koordinationspolymere mit dem Acetylendicarboxylat‐Dianion

Co(C₂(COO)₂)(H₂O)₄ · 2 H₂O and Co(C₂(COO)₂)(H₂O)₂: Two Co‐ordination Polymers of the Acetylenedicarboxylate Dianion By reaction of CoCO₃ with an aqueous solution of acetylenedicarboxylic acid and subsequent crystallisation single‐crystals of Co(C₂(COO)₂)(H₂O)₄ · 2 H₂O were obtained (P2₁/a, Z = 2). In the solid state structure cobalt is octahedrally surrounded by four water molecules and two oxygen atoms of the carboxylate anions. These octahedra are connected to chains by the dicarboxylates. Already at ambient conditions Co(C₂(COO)₂)(H₂O)₄ · 2 H₂O looses four water molecules to give Co(C₂(COO)₂)(H₂O)₂ (isotypic to Mn[C₂(COO)₂] · 2 H₂O, C2/c, Z = 4). The cobalt cation is now octahedrally co‐ordinated by two water molecules and four oxygen atoms of the dicarboxylate ligands, which connect the Co octahedra to a three dimensional network. Thermoanalytical investigations show another mass loss at about 200 °C, which leads to non‐crystalline products. Measurements of the magnetic susceptibilities result in the expected behaviour for Co²⁺ in an octahedral co‐ordination (high spin, ⁴T₁ ground state). The effective magnetic moment at room temperature is n_eff = 5.51 μ_B.     

Nickel and cobalt hexamethylentetramine complexes (NO3)2Me(H2O)6(HMTA)2.4H2O (Me = Co2+, Ni2+): new molecular precursors for the preparation of metal dispersions

Nickel and cobalt hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) complexes (NO3)2Me(H2O)6(HMTA)2.4H2O were prepared and characterized structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic P1 space group with the same structure. The structures are three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded supramolecular frameworks containing two-dimensional cationic assemblies connected with proton acceptors, which are noncoordinated anionic species (nitrate) and neutral HMTA molecules. Thermal decomposition of these compounds under an inert atmosphere leads to the high-surface-area metal-carbon foams containing nickel and cobalt nanoparticles embedded within onionlike carbon shells. The decomposition process as studied by thermal analysis and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements occurs as a rapid loss of oxygen in the form of CO, beginning at temperatures as low as 323 K. As the in situ XAS study demonstrated, the evolution of nickel and cobalt coordination spheres occurs with intermediate formation of amorphous metal carbides, which subsequently decompose to the metal nanoparticles covered with carbon shells.     

Two new open framework cobalt phosphates: NaCo3(OH)(PO4)2.1/4H2O and Na(NH4)Co2(PO4)2.H2O

Two new cobalt phosphates, NaCo₃(OH)(PO₄)₂.1/4H₂O (1) and Na(NH₄)Co₂(PO₄)₂.H₂O (2) have been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods, vibrational (IR and Raman) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and magnetic measurements. The structure of 1 is a new framework type while 2 is an example of a chiral cobalt phosphate. Both phases contain channels in which the Na⁺, NH₄⁺ cations and H₂O molecules are located.

Meanwhile, hydrogen bonds in two compounds, link themselves to assemble two three‐dimensional network structures, respectively.

Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement of compound 1 demonstrates the presence of antiferromagnetic interactions.
