Hydrothermal syntheses and crystal structures of crystalline catalysts based on 3-D Ln3+–pdc2− frameworks and [BW12O40]5− and their heterogeneous photocatalytic oxidation of thiophene

Five [BW₁₂O₄₀]^{5 ?} -containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), {K[Ln(H₂O)₄(pdc)]₄}[BW₁₂O₄₀]·2H₂O (Ln=La 1 and Ce 2, H₂pdc = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate) and {K[Ln(H₂O)₃(pdc)]₄}[BW₁₂O₄₀]·6H₂O (Ln=Tb 3, Dy 4 and Er 5), are synthesized hydrothermally. Ln³⁺ and pdc^2? are built into 3-D MOF segments containing large channels and cavities which are occupied by [BW₁₂O₄₀]^{5 ?} . Herein, we report MOF-containing polyoxometalates (POMs) as photocatalysts to oxidize thiophene with O₂ as the oxidant. Photo-excited state species ([BW₁₂O₄₀]^5??) are generated under UV irradiation and then H₂O is oxidized into OH˙ radicals and O₂ is reduced into O₂ ^2?. The active oxygen species (O₂ ^2?, OH˙) oxidize thiophene in the presence of photocatalysts and SO₃, CO₂, and H₂O are obtained as photoproducts. ESR measurements provide evidence that OH˙ species are generated during photocatalysis.     

The synthesis,crystal structures and infrared spectra of bis(2,2′-bipyridyl)mononitratozinc(II) hexafluorophosphate and bis(2,2′-bipyridyl)mononitratozinc(II) perchlorate: A comparison with existing [Zn(chelate)2(OXO)][Y] and [Cu(chelate)2(OXO)][Y] complexes of known crystal structure

In order to extend the number of [Zn(chelate)₂(OXO)][Y] complexes, with chelate =2,2″ bipyridyl, 1,10 phenanthroline and 2,2″-bipyridylamine and (OXO)^-=(ONO)^-, (O₂NO)^-, (O₂CCH₂)^- and (O₂CH)^-, the crystal structures and infrared spectra of [Zn(bipy)₂(O₂NO)][PF₆], (9) and [Zn(bipy)₂(O₂NO)][ClO₄], (10) have been determined. Both zinc(II) complexes involve a slightly elongated cis-distorted ZnN₄O₂ chromophore.The slight elongation contrasts with the more significant compressed cis-distorted octahedral CuN₄O₂ chromophore of the corresponding copper(II) structures. The Zn‐O bonds in (9) are 2.186(3) and 2.351(3)Å (ΔO0.165(3)Å), while the corresponding Zn‐O(1) and Zn‐O(2) bonds in (10) are 2.194(2) and 2.355(2)Å (ΔO0.161(2)Å), respectively. The mean Zn‐O bond distance in (9) is 2.269(3) and 2.275(2)Å in (10). Although the significant cis-distortion of the Zn‐O distances is comparable to the analogous Cu‐O distances, the ΔO values are notably smaller. The thermal ellipsoids of (9) and (10), which are slightly asymmetric (ΔO ≈ 0.16Å), are small and isotropic. Such differences reflect the spherical symmetry of the d ¹⁰ zinc(II) configuration relative to the nonspherical symmetry of the d ⁹ copper(II) ion.The ZnN₄O₂ chromophores of (9) and (10) are similar, indicating the isomorphous and isostructural nature of the complexes. Both complexes have a common back-angle or magic angle of α≈117°, in contrast to the bipyam complexes where the back-angle is much less at ≈105°, related to the conformation of the floppier bipyam chelate ligand.     

Syntheses and X-Ray Crystal Structures of Novel Oxonium Ion-12-Crown-4 Complexes Isolated From Liquid Clathrate Media

Abstract

The reactions of Mo(CO)₆ and W(CO)₆ with HCl_(g) in the presence of 12-crown-4 and H₂O have been investigated in toluene. For both reactions, two products were isolated, depending on the oxidation of the metal center. For molybdenum, the Mo^III species, [H₃O⁺ · 12-crown-4]₃[Mo₂Cl₉ ^3-], 1, was obtained from the liquid clathrate layer in the reaction mixture. Upon air oxidation of the reaction mixture, the Mo^v complex, [H₇O₃ ^? · H₄O₂ ⁺ · (12-crown-4)₂][MoOCl₄(H₂O)^?]₂, 2, rapidly formed. For tungsten, the W^II species, [(H₅O₂ ⁺)₂ · 12-crown-4][W(CO)₄Cl^? ₃]₂, 3, deposited from the liquid clathrate layer which upon oxidation formed the W^v complex, [H₃O⁺· 12-crown-4][WOCl₄(H₂O)^?], 4. These reactions were promoted by UV radiation and formed liquid clathrates almost immediately upon reaction. X-ray crystal structures were performed on each compound. Complexes 1 and 4 have H₃O⁺ oxonium ions involved in complex hydrogen bonded arrays with the 12-crown-4 acceptor molecules. The H₅O₂ ⁺ oxonium ions in 2 and 3 contain extremely short O…O separations, equivalent to the shortest O-H…O bonds known. Also isolated in complex 2 was the H₇O₃ ⁺ oxonium ion which contains an unusual linear O…O…O core.     

Synthesis,structural characterization,and properties of two new polyoxovanadates based on decavanadate [V10O28]6−

Two new decavanadate metal compounds, [Co(pyim)₃]₂[V₁₀O₂₈]·7H₂O (1) and [Ni(pyim)₃]₂[H₂V₁₀O₂₈]·4H₂O (2) (pyim?=?2-(2-pyridyl)-imidazole), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, infrared spectra, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. Crystallographic analysis reveals that 1 is constructed from [V₁₀O₂₈]^6?, metal cation [Co(pyim)₃]³⁺, and water. [V₁₀O₂₈]^6? clusters are connected by waters through O–H?O hydrogen bonds to form a sheet structure which is further connected by N–H?O hydrogen bonds to form a 3-D supermolecular framework. In 2, although [Ni(pyim)₃]²⁺ is similar to [Co(pyim)₃]³⁺ in 1, the M?O cluster anion is protonated [H₂V₁₀O₂₈]^4?.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and characterization of a series of complexes constructed from coordinated Lanthanides(III) and the heteropolyanion [SiMo12O40]4−

The reaction of α-[SiMo₁₂O₄₀]^4? with trivalent cations Ln³⁺ and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone leads to a series of complexes of formula [Ln(NMP)₄(H₂O) _n ]H[SiMo₁₂O₄₀]?·?2NMP?·?mH₂O [where Ln?=?La (1), Pr (2), Nd (3), Sm (4), Gd (5), n?=?4, Ln?=?Dy (6), Er (7), n?=?3. NMP?=?N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone]. The syntheses, X-ray crystal structures, IR, and ESR spectra and thermal properties of the complexes 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 have been reported previously. Here, we report X-ray crystal structures, IR, UV, ESR spectra and thermal properties of the complexes [Nd(NMP)₄(H₂O)₄]H[SiMo₁₂O₄₀]?·?2NMP?·?1.5H₂O (3), and [Gd(NMP)₄(H₂O)₄]H[SiMo₁₂O₄₀]?·?2NMP?·?H₂O (5). In addition, the electrochemical behaviour of this series of complexes in aqueous solution and aqueous-organic solution has been investigated and systematic comparisons have been made. All these complexes exhibit successive reduction process of the Mo atoms.     

A series of lanthanide-organic frameworks constructed by 2-methyl imidazole dicarboxylate and oxalate: synthesis,structures, and properties

Five lanthanide(III) coordination polymers with 2-methyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (H₃MIDC) and ammonium oxalate, {[(Ln1)₂(HMIDC)₂(C₂O₄)(H₂O)₃]?·?3H₂O} _n (Ln1?=?Nd (1), Sm (2)), {[Eu₂(HMIDC)₂(C₂O₄)(H₂O)₃]?·?0.5EtOH?·?3H₂O} _n (3), {[Ce₂(HMIDC)₂(C₂O₄)(H₂O)₃]?·?EtOH?·?3H₂O} _n (4), and {[Gd₂(HMIDC)₂(C₂O₄)(H₂O)₃]?·?MeOH?·?3H₂O} _n (5), have been prepared and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that 1 and 2 are isostructural, as are 3, 4, and 5. Each exhibits a 3-D open framework, which is built by a regular 2-D grid connected by HMIDC^2? and Ln(III). The luminescence and thermal properties of these complexes have been investigated as well.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of cobalt and nickel complexes of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine

2?:?1 (L?:?M) Complexes of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (dhmp) with different Co(II) salts [CoCl₂·6H₂O, Co(SCN)₂, Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, CoSO₄·7H₂O and Co(OTos)₂·6H₂O] and Ni(II) salts [NiCl₂·6H₂O, Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, NiSO₄·7H₂O and Ni(OTos)₂·6H₂O] have been prepared (1–9) and studied by infrared spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Influences on the distortion of the coordination polyhedron, the arrangement of the donor atoms and the packing structure of the complexes were investigated in terms of the different kinds of anions and cations. In the metal chloride Complexes 1 and 2, water of hydration was found, while in Complex 3 the counterion (SCN^–) acts as a ligand. The crystal structures of all complexes, except 3, show N₂O₄ hexacoordinated metal ions; in 3 the coordination environment is N₄O₂. Complex 1 is another exception in containing cobalt(III) instead of cobalt(II) as for the other complexes with cobalt salts. Logically, in Complex 1, one of the dhmp ligands is mono-deprotonated. In the neutral Complexes 2 and 4–9, the basal planes of the octahedra are made up of O donors and N atoms occupy the axial positions. In 1 as well as in 3, two N and two O atoms form the base, but in 1 O, and in 3 N atoms are on the axis of the coordination sphere. Moreover, the nickel Complexes 2, 5, 7 and 9 are more symmetrical in structure than the cobalt Complexes 1, 4, 6 and 8, in accordance with the Jahn–Teller effect. Packing structures of the complexes show specific interactions based on strong and weak H-bonds that involve the counterions, hydroxy groups and aromatic units, leading to extended network structures.     

Heteropolymolybdate–amino acid complexes: synthesis,characterization and biological activity

Three Keggin-type polyoxometalates functionalized by amino acids, (C₅H₁₃N₂O₂)₂(H₃O)PMo₁₂O₄₀·8H₂O 1, (C₅H₁₄N₂O₂)₂SiMo₁₂O₄₀·12H₂O 2 and (C₅H₁₄N₂O₂)₂GeMo₁₂O₄₀·12H₂O 3, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and ¹H?NMR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray crystallographic study showed that the structures of the three compounds involved N–H···O and O–H···O hydrogen bonds among the protonated ornithine cations, water molecules and the heteropolyanion cluster, and thus represent a model interaction between polyoxometalates and proteins. These complexes display inhibitory actions to the human cancer cells Hela and PC-3?m in vitro.     

New thallium(III) chloride complexes with pyridine carboxylic acids: from molecular compounds to supramolecular associations

Reactions of TlCl₃ with picolinic acid (Hpic), nicotinic acid (Hnic), isonicotinic acid (Hinic) and 3-hydroxy-picolinic acid (H3hpic) afford the isolation of new chlorothallium(III) complexes. The compounds are characterized by IR, Raman and multinuclear NMR (¹H,¹³C,²⁰⁵Tl). The molecular structures of [TlCl₂(pic)(Hpic)]·0.5H₂O (1), [TlCl₂(nic)(Hnic)] (2), [TlCl(inic)₂]·0.6C₂H₅OH (3) and [TlCl(3hpic)₂(h3hpic)] (4) are determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A distorted octahedral TlCl₂N₂O₂ core containing the O,N-chelating ligands is achieved in the monomeric complex 1. The coordination polyhedron in compounds 2–4 is pentagonal bipyramidal, i.e. TlCl₂NO₄ in 2, and TlClN₂O₄ in 3 and 4, respectively. O,O′,N-Bridging ligands result in a polymer chain for 2 and a three-dimensional polymeric association in 3, while compound 4 is monomeric (O, N-and O,O-chelating ligands).

Two- and three-dimensional coordination polymers of lanthanide tartrate: synthesis,crystal structures and luminescence

Several new coordination polymers of lanthanide tartrate with three types of topological structures, namely [Ln₂(DL-tart)₃(H₂O)₃] · 1.5H₂O [Ln = La (1), Nd (2), and Sm (3)], [Ln₂(D-tart)₃(H₂O)₂] · 3H₂O [Ln = Eu (4), Tb (5), and Dy (6)], and [Lu(C₄H₄O₆)(C₄H₅O₆)] · 2.5H₂O (7), have been synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis. X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that 1 is a unique 3-D network, whereas 5 with a 3-D network and 7 with a 2-D network are isomorphous with their analogs. All lanthanide ions are nine-coordinate through oxygen donors. Four different coordination modes of tartrate occur in these complexes. Luminescence spectra reveal that 4, 5, and 6 emit characteristic luminescence of corresponding lanthanide ions.

Synthesis and Structure of the Alkoxido-Titanium Pentamolybdate (nBu4N)3[(iPrO)TiMo5O18]: An Entry into Systematic TiMo5 Reactivity

The alkoxido-titanium pentamolybdate [(ⁱPrO)TiMo₅O₁₈]³⁻ (1) has been obtained as its tetrabutylammonium (TBA) salt by hydrolysis of a mixture containing (TBA)₂[Mo₂O₇], (TBA)₄[Mo₈O₂₆] and Ti(OⁱPr)₄ in MeCN and has been characterised by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁷O, ⁴⁹Ti and ⁹⁵Mo NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry, elemental microanalysis and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The Lindqvist-type structure is derived from [Mo₆O₁₉]²⁻ by replacement of {Mo=O}⁴⁺ by {(ⁱPrO)Ti}³⁺ and shows bond alternation in the TiMo₃O₄ rings, with average bond distances of 1.956(8) ? for Ti–O(Mo), 1.832(7) ? for Mo–O(Ti), 1.943(7) ? for Mo_eq–O(Mo_ax) and 1.910(6) ? for Mo_ax–O(Mo_eq), while the increase in charge results in a decrease in ¹⁷O NMR chemical shift for terminal Mo=O groups from δ 933 for [Mo₆O₁₉]²⁻ to δ 875 and 857 for 1 and a shift in ν_Mo=O from 951 cm⁻¹ for [Mo₆O₁₉]²⁻ to 930 cm⁻¹ for 1. The main peaks in the negative-ion electrospray ionisation mass spectrum of (TBA)₃ 1 could be assigned to ion aggregates containing 1 or fragments derived from 1, including {(TBA)₂[(ⁱPrO)TiMo₅O₁₈]}⁻, {(TBA)[(ⁱPrO)TiMo₅O₁₈]}²⁻, {(ⁱPrO)TiMo₂O₈}⁻, {TiMo₅O₁₈}²⁻, {TiMo₄O₁₅}²⁻ and {Mo₃O₁₀}²⁻.     

Three new polyoxoniobates constructed from Lindqvist-type hexaniobate and copper–amine complexes

Three new polyoxoniobates constructed from Lindqvist-type [Nb₆O₁₉]^8? and copper–amine complexes, [Cu(1,2-dap)₂]{[Cu(1,2-dap)₂]₂[Nb₆O₁₉H₂]}?·?10H₂O (1), [Cu(1,3-dap)₂]₂{[Cu(1,3-dap)]₂[Nb₆O₁₉]}?·?10H₂O (2), and [Cu(en)₂]_0.5{[Cu(en)₂]₂[Nb₆O₁₉H₃]}?·?12H₂O (3) (1,2-dap?=?1,2-diaminopropane, 1,3-dap?=?1,3-diaminopropane, and en?=?ethylenediamine), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectrum, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1–3 exhibit bisupporting hexaniobate cluster structure, each with a [Nb₆O₁₉]^8? cluster decorated by two copper–amine complexes. In 1, adjacent bisupporting clusters are connected with one [Cu(1,2-dap)₂]²⁺ fragment via Cu?···?O weak interactions to generate a 1-D supramolecular chain structure. In contrast to 1, each bisupporting cluster in 2 is linked to another four neighboring ones through four [Cu(1,3-dap)₂]²⁺ fragments by Cu?···?O weak interactions to yield a 2-D supramolecular network. Different from 1 and 2, no detected interaction was found between bisupporting cluster and [Cu(en)₂]²⁺ in 3, the [Cu(en)₂]²⁺ fragment merely acts as an isolated countercation.     

Hydrothermal synthesis,characterization, and luminescence of two new arsenic–vanadium compounds with a γ-[As8V14O42(H2O)]4− anion

Two new compounds, [Zn(phen)₃]₂[γ-As₈V₁₄O₄₂(H₂O)]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Cd(phen)₃]₂[γ-As₈V₁₄O₄₂(H₂O)]?·?2H₂O (2) (phen?=?1,10′-phenanthroline), have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectrum, and thermogravimetric analysis. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a?=?11.429(4)?Å, b?=?15.760(5)?Å, c?=?15.952(5)?Å, α?=?108.825(5)°, β?=?92.194(5)°, γ?=?104.155(5)°, V?=?2615.6(15)?ų, Z?=?1; 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a?=?11.450(4)?Å, b?=?15.629(6)?Å, c?=?16.302(6)?Å, α?=?109.177(5)°, β?=?92.628(5)°, γ?=?104.251(4)°, V?=?2644.8(17)?ų, Z?=?1.

The reaction of Group 4 metal alkoxides ([M(OR)₄]) with the potentially bidentate ligand, 2-hydroxy-pyridine (2-HO-(NC₅H₄) or H-PyO), led to the isolation of a family of compounds. The products isolated from the reaction of [M(OR)₄] [where M = Ti, Zr, or Hf; OR = OPrⁱ (OCH(CH₃)₂), OBu^t (OC(CH₃)₃), or ONep (OCH₂C(CH₃)₃] under a variety of stoichiometries with H-PyO were identified by single crystal X-ray diffraction as [(OPrⁱ)₂(PyO-κ²(O,N))Ti(μ-OPrⁱ)]₂ (1), [(ONep)₂Ti(μ(O)-PyO-κ²(O,N))₂(μ-ONep)Ti(ONep)₃] (2), [(ONep)₂Ti(μ(O)-PyO-κ²(O,N))(η¹(N),μ(O)-PyO)(μ-O)Ti(ONep)₂]₂ (2a), [H][(PyO-κ²(O,N))(η¹(O)-PyO)Ti(ONep)₃] (3), [(OR)₂Zr(μ(O)-PyO-κ²(O,N))₂(μ-OR)Zr(OR)₃] (OR = OBu^t (4), ONep (5)), [(OR)₂Zr(μ(O,N)-PyO-κ²(O,N))₂(μ(O,N)-PyO)Zr(OR)₃] (OR = OBu^t (6), ONep (7)), [[(OBu^t)₂Zr(μ(O)-PyO-(κ²(N,O))(μ(O,N)-PyO)₂Zr(OBu^t)](μ₃-O)]₂ (6a), [[(ONep)(PyO-κ²(N,O))Zr(μ(O,N)-PyO-κ²(N,O))₂(μ(O)-PyO-κ²(N,O))Zr(ONep)](μ₃-O)]₂ (7a), [(OBu^t)(PyO-κ²(O,N))Zr(μ(O)-PyO-κ²(O,N))₂((μ(O,N)-PyO)Zr(OBu^t)₃] (8), [(OBu^t)₂Hf(μ(O)-PyO-κ²(N,O))₂(μ-OBu^t)Hf(OBu^t)₃] (9), [(OR)₂ M(μ(O)-PyO-κ²(N,O))₂(μ(O,N)-PyO)M(OR)₃] (OR = OBu^t (10), ONep (11)), and [(ONep)₃Hf(μ-ONep)(η¹(N),μ(O)-PyO)]₂Hf(ONep)₂ (12)·tol. The structural diversity of the binding modes of the PyO led to a number of novel structure types in comparison to other pyridine alkoxy derivatives. The majority of compounds adopt a dinuclear arrangement (1, 2, 4–11) but oxo-based tetra- (2a and 7a), tri- (12), and monomers (3) were observed as well. Compounds 1–12 were further characterized using a variety of analytical techniques including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.     

Synthesis,structure and magnetic properties of a two-dimensional polymer based on sandwich-type tetra-cobalt(II)-substituted polyoxotungstate anions and 1-D potassium-chains

A 2-D coordination polymer, (C₇N₄H₁₆)₂{NH(CH₃)₃}[{K(H₂O)}₄Na(H₂O)₅{Co₄(H₂O)₂(B-α-PW₉O₃₄)₂}]·2H₂O (1), was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and X-ray single-crystal crystallography.

Sandwich-type tetra-cobalt(II)-substituted [Co₄(H₂O)₂(B-α-PW₉O₃₄)₂]^10? of 1 consists of two trivacant Keggin [B-α-PW₉O₃₄]^9? moieties and a rhomb-like Co₄O₁₆ unit. Each sandwich-type polyoxotungstate subunit connects 12 K(1) and K(2) centers from two adjacent 1-D K-chain units resulting in an interesting 2-D layer framework. Magnetic properties of 1 have been investigated.     

Syntheses,crystal structures and photochemistry of two new organic–inorganic hybrid compounds based on copper–glycin complexes and paradodecatungstates

Two organic–inorganic hybrid materials built from copper–glycin complexes and paradodecatungstates, Na₆[{Cu(gly)(H₂O)}]₂[{Cu(H₂O)}(H₂W₁₂O₄₂)] ? 21H₂O (1) and Na{Na(H₂O)₆}{Na(H₂O)₄}₃[{Cu(gly)₂}]₂{H₅(H₂W₁₂O₄₂)} ? 8.5H₂O (gly = glycin) (2), have been synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by IR, UV, TG, elemental analysis, electrochemistry, and single-crystal X-ray analyses. In 1, [H₂W₁₂O₄₂]^10? building block connects two neighboring clusters with [Cu(H₂O)]²⁺ groups to produce an infinite 1-D chain; then these chains are linked through [Cu(gly)(H₂O)]⁺ groups to form a 2-D layer structure, which is further joined by Na⁺ to form a 3-D network. In 2, [H₂W₁₂O₄₂]^10? decorated by two [Cu(gly)₂] moieties connects four adjacent clusters with six Na⁺ into a 2-D layer. In addition, luminescence and photocatalysis properties of these compounds have been investigated.     

INFLUENCE OF WATER VAPOR ON P3O3 9- RING OPENING DURING THE THERMAL DEHYDRATION OF NaCaP3O9,3H2O

Abstract

The study of the heterogeneous system NaCaP₃O₉,3H₂O-H₂O(g) allowed the internal hydrolysis of P₃O³ ₉ rings to be shown, which explains its instability. In the absence of water vapor pressure, NaCaP₃O₉,3H₂O loses its 3H₂O's reversibly.
