Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Ni(H2O)6][Ni(H2O)2(C4H2O4)]·4H2O

Reaction of a freshly prepared Ni(OH)_{2?2 x} (CO₃) _x ·yH₂O with maleic acid in H₂O at room temperature afforded [Ni(H₂O)₆][Ni(H₂O)₂(C₄H₂O₄)]·4H₂O, which consists of [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cations, [Ni(H₂O)₂(C₄H₂O₄)]^2? anions and lattice H₂O molecules. Ni atoms in cations are octahedrally coordinated and Ni atoms in anions are each octahedrally coordinated by bidentate chelating maleato ligands and two water molecules at trans positions. Cations and anions are interlinked by hydrogen bonds to form 1D chains, which are hexagonally arranged and connected by the lattice water molecules. When heated in a flowing argon stream, the compound decomposes, with complete dehydration being followed by dissociation of nickel maleate into NiO and maleic anhydride.     

Synthesis,crystal structure of Gd(H2O)(C2O4)2 · NH4 and of La(C2O4)2 · NH4. Characterization of the Ln(H2O)(C2O4)2 · NH4 with Ln=Eu…Yb

Single crystals of two lanthanide complexes, presenting similar formula Ln(H₂O)_x(C₂O₄)₂ · NH₄ with Ln=La, x=0 and Ln=Gd, x=1, have been prepared, in closed system at 200 °C. The gadolinium complex is bi-dimensional. A layer is built by the packing of the basic unit, [Gd(C₂O₄)]₄. The gadolinium atoms are related only by bischelating oxalate ligands, the ammonium ion and the water molecule (bound to the gadolinium atom) are localized into the interlayer space. The lanthanum complex is tri-dimensional. The basic building unit remains approximately the same and the packing of these units form a layer. However, within these units, the lanthanum atoms are related by either an oxalate ligand or an edge. Moreover, an oxalate ligand assumes the connection between the layers. The ammonium ion is localized into two sets of intersecting channels. Pure phase of the gadolinium complex has been prepared at 100 °C and extended to some lanthanide elements, Eu…Yb. As the size of the lanthanide ionic radius is decreasing, it is noticeable that the a unit–cell constant follows an expansion pattern while the others two follow an usual contraction one. The thermal behavior of this family shows that the anhydrous compounds are obtained and that some water molecule is sorbed during the cooling. Thus, the anhydrous compounds present a relatively open-framework with some small micropores.

The single-crystal X-ray analysis has revealed that 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group Pī with a = 9.1437(6), b = 11.4991(10), c = 11.6975(8)A, α = 96.2915(18), β = 107.998(3), γ = 104.276(4)°, V = 1110.35(14)A3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.807 g/cm3, F(000) = 618, μ = 0.815 mm－1, the final R = 0.0463 and wR = 0.1264 for 3718 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). X-ray crystal-structure analysis suggests that compound 1 consists of [Ti4O4(C2O4)7]6－ anion and two protonated N-(2-ammonioethyl)piperazinium cations. The anions are linked into an infinite chain through Ti4O4(C2O4)8 by sharing the oxalates as bridging ligands.

The uranium-containing groups are linked into a three-dimensional framework due to electrostatic interaction with the ammonium cations and through a system of hydrogen bonds involving atoms of the water molecules, oxalate and acetate ions, and ammonium and uranyl cations.     

New 1D and 2D metal oxygen connectivities in Cu(II) succinato and glutarato coordination polymers: [Cu3(H2O)2(OH)2(C4H4O4)2] · 4H2O, [Cu4(H2O)2(OH)4(C4H4O4)2] · 5H2O and [Cu5(OH)6(C5H6O4)2] · 4H2O

Two Cu(II) hydroxo succinates [Cu₃(H₂O)₂(OH)₂(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Cu₄(H₂O)₂(OH)₄(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?5H₂O (2) and one Cu(II) hydroxo glutarate [Cu₅(OH)₆(C₅H₆O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (3) have been prepared and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. They feature 1D and 2D copper oxygen connectivity of elongated {CuO₆} octahedra in “4?+?1?+?1” and “4?+?2” coordination geometries. Within 1, linear trimers of three edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra are connected into copper oxygen chains, which are bridged by the anti conformational succinate anions to generate 2D layers with mono terminally coordinating gauche succinate anions on both sides. The layers are assembled into a 3D framework by interlayer hydrogen bonds with lattice H₂O molecules distributed in channels. Different from 1, the principal building units in 2 are linear tetramers of four edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra. The tetramers are condensed into copper oxygen chains and the succinate anions interlink them into a 3D framework with triangular channels filled by lattice H₂O molecules. The {CuO₆} octahedra in 3 are edge-shared to form unprecedented 2D inorganic layers with mono terminally coordinating glutarate anions on both sides. Interlayer hydrogen bonding interactions are responsible for supramolecular assembly of the layers into a 3D framework with lattice H₂O molecules in the channels. The inorganic layers in 3 can be described as hexagonal close packing of oxygen atoms with the Cu atoms in the octahedral cavities. The title compounds were further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermal analyses.     

Effect of Na+, Li+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Si2+, and Ca2+ cations on force constants of W-O and Mo-O bonds of WO4 2− and MoO4 2− anions in melts

By a matrix method of successive approximations, using perturbation theory, the complete set of force constants has been calculated for the free anions WO,^2– and MoO₄ ^2– and for systems MEO₄ ^2–(M = Na₂ ⁺, Li₂ ⁺, Pb²⁺,Sr²⁺, Ca²⁺; E = W, Mo) on the basis of known frequencies of IR and Raman spectra of the corresponding individual melts. Analysis of the results indicates an increase in the force constants of E-O bond stretching and the bending force constants for AD- and MoO₄ ^2– with increasing specific charge of the cation in a field of singly or doubly charged cations.Deceased.Poltava Engineering Construction Institute.

Vibrational spectra of NH4-Ln(SO4)2·4H2O/D2O (LnLa and Ce)

Infrared and Raman spectra of NH₄Ce(SO₄)₂·4H₂O, NH₄La(SO₄)₂·4H₂O and the deuterated compounds NH₄Ce(SO₄)₂·4D₂O and NH₄La(SO₄)₂·4D₂O have been analysed. Splittings indicating the presence of two types of SO₄ ions are not observed. The SO bond strengths of the different SO₄ units are not significantly different. The SO₄ ion is distorted in these compounds. Deuteration causes changes in the SO₄ bond strength. Three crystallographically distinct water molecules exist in the unit cell.

Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Properties of the Copper(Ⅱ) Complex [Cu4O4(phen)4(ClC6H4COO)2(H2O)2]·(H2O)3

The title complex of copper(Ⅱ) with m-chlorobenzoic acid, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and copper perchlorate has been synthesized and characterized in the solvent mixture of water and methanol. Crystal data for this complex: triclinic, space group P, a = 1.06853(12), b = 1.30740(16), c = 1.49546(17) nm, α = 101.791(2), β = 103.413(2), γ = 105.815(2)o, V = 1.8736(4) nm3, Mr = 904.67, Dc = 1.604 g/cm3, Z = 2, F(000) = 924, μ = 1.34 mm-1, GOOF = 1.049, the final R = 0.0324 and wR = 0.0797. The structure analysis shows that a chair-like structure [Cu4O4] is defined by three quadrilaterals shaped by four copper and four oxygen atoms, and every copper ion is coordinated by three oxygen atoms from three water molecules and two nitrogen atoms from one 1,10-phenanthroline molecule, giving a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The CV analysis results indicate that the electron transfer in the electrode reaction is quasi-reversible.     

Crystal structure of Na2[(UO2)2(SeO4)3(H2O)2] · 6.5H2O

The compound Na₂[(UO₂)₂(SeO₄)₃(H₂O)₂] · 6.5H₂O (I) is studied using X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with the unit cell parameters a = 19.7366(8) Å, b = 10.8206(4) Å, c = 21.3577(8) Å, β = 103.4311(1)°, Z = 4, and the space group P2₁/c, R ₁ = 0.0379. Compound I is found to be a representative of the crystal-chemical group A₂T ₂ ³ B²M ₂ ¹ (A = UO ₂ ²⁺ ) of uranyl complexes and contains the cage group [(UO₂)₂(SeO₄)₃(H₂O)₂]^2?.     

Single-molecule magnetism behavior of [Mn12O12(O2CR)16(H2O)4]2− salts

(PPh₄)₂[Mn₁₂O₁₂(O₂CCHCl₂)₁₆(H₂O)₄] (3) has been prepared by the two-electron reduction of [Mn₁₂O₁₂(O₂CCHCl₂)₁₆(H₂O)₄] (2) using iodide. Crystallization from CH₂Cl₂/hexanes yields a mixture of two crystal forms, 3·4CH₂Cl₂·H₂O (3a) and 36CH₂Cl₂ (3b), which are triclinic and monoclinic, respectively. They are both trapped valence 2Mn(II), 6Mn(III), 4Mn(IV). DC magnetization data for dried, unsolvated 3 in 1.80–4.00 K and 10–70 kG ranges were fit to give S=10, D=−0.28 cm⁻¹, g=2.00. Frequency-dependent out-of-phase (χ″_M) signals in AC susceptibility studies on crystalline sample of 3a and 3b combined with DC relaxation decay data were fit to the Arrhenius equation to give an effective energy barrier of U_eff=18.5 and 30.3 K, respectively. Magnetization vs. DC field sweeps on single crystals of 3a and 3b gave hysteresis loops containing steps due to quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM). The step separations yielded ∣D∣/g values of 0.087 and 0.14 cm⁻¹, and consequently U=20 and 39 K (for g=2) for 3a and 3b, respectively, suggesting that the differences in U_eff are primarily caused by changes to D. This work demonstrates the sensitivity of the magnetic properties of [Mn₁₂]²⁻ single-molecule magnets to subtle differences in their environment.

The reaction of diaquadinitratouranyl with ammonium nitrate in ethanol gave the single crystals of ((NH₄)₂[}UO₂(NO₃)₂}₂(μ₄-C₂O₄)] · 2H₂O (I).The structure of the complex was studied by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 8.6497(10) Å, b = 11.7001(10) Å, c = 20.2135(10) Å, β = 93.924(10)°, space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, V = 2040.9(3) ų. The structural units of the crystal are island binuclear groups [{UO₂(NO₃)₂}₂(μ₄-C₂O₄)]^2?, ammonium cations, and crystal water molecules. The structure has a complex three-dimensional packing provided by electrostatic attraction forces of the counterions and the hydrogen bond system involving water molecules, oxalate, nitrate, and uranyl ions. The IR spectra of I confirm the X-ray diffraction data.
