Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Ternary Complexes of Zinc（Ⅱ） and Cadmium（Ⅱ） with 3-Aminobenzoic Acid and 1,10-Phenanthroline

1 INTRODUCTION Benzoic acids with substituent of amino are a class of rigid ligands possessing several functional groups. When they coordinate to metal ions, versa- tile coordination modes will be presented with pre- sence of not only coordinate-covalent bonds but also hydrogen bonds. Besides, diverse coordination modes of carboxyl and rigid frame of benzene ring gua- rantee the stability of multi-dimensional structures of the synthesized metal complexes. Thus ligands of this class are o…     

Synthesis and Structure of Bis（indene—1,2,3—trione 2—oximato）bis （aqua）Mn（Ⅱ）：Mn（C9H4NO3）2（H2O）2

1 INTRODUCTION The interest in the complexes of transition metals with ligands ketoxime[1, 2] as potential models for metal binding sites in ferroverdin[3, 4] has prompted the investigation on the structures and the overall coordination geometry of the metal centers in these complexes. Oxime derivatives are interesting ligands since the ketoximes are found to chelate transition metals through the N (oxime) and O (ketone) atoms[5, 6]. However, monodentate coordination via only one O or …     

A Corrugated 2D Mn(Ⅱ) Network:[Mn_3(μ-oxalate)_3(μ-4,4'-bpy)_2(4,4'-bpy)_2]_n

1 INTRODUCTION It is well known that the bi-functional 4,4?-bi- pyridine (4,4?-bpy) has the ability to act as a rigid, rod-like organic building block in the self-assembly of coordination frameworks. Many researches have also been done on the metal oxalate compounds. The remarkable coordination abilities of oxalate and 4,4?- bpy ligands are applied to design and synthesize new polymeric coordination complexes[1～4] containing mixed bridging ligands. Manganese is one of the several first-r…     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Chain Coordination Polymer [Cu（inio）2（H2O）]∞ （Inio = Isonicotinic Acid N-Oxide）

1 INTRODUCTION With deep studies on the complex biology system and syntheses of new functional complexes, people have paid more and more attention to the polynuclear complexes.

Cluster-based Magnetic Porous Coordination Polymers

The creation of a porous magnet is a long-sought academic goal since magnetism and porosity are hostile to one another. While long-range magnetic ordering needs spin carriers of short separation through short bridges, porosity relies on the use of extended connecting ligands. Here, we will give a survey of the cluster-based magnetic porous coordination polymers, i.e., 0-D MPCPs, according to their functional subunits： （1） nanoporous spin crossover materials with single metal nodes; （2） metal-radical approach with rigid organic radical ligands and single metal nodes; （C） PCPs with rigid organic ligands and metal oligomer nodes; （D） PCPs with metal complex linkers and polymetal cluster nodes; （E） PCPs with organo-polymetal cluster linkers and single metal nodes. The assembly from clusters can provide a reasonable route to resolve the hostility between magnetism and porosity. This assembly’s merits are obvious： the pore benefits from the big cluster according to ＂Scale Chemistry＂, and the functional framework inherits interesting physical properties from the clusters with a large ground spin S.
