Quantum Chemistry Studies on the Fe-Cu Interactions and 31p NMR in Fe（CO）3（Ph2Ppy）2（CuXn） （Xn = Cl2^2-, Cl-, Br-）

In order to study the Fe-Cu interactions and their effects on 31p NMR, the structures of mononuclear complex Fe（CO）3fPhzPpy）a 1 and binuclear complexes Fe（CO）3（PhEPpy）z（CuXn） （2： Xn = Cl2^2-, 3： Xn = Cl-, 4： Xn = Br-） are calculated by density functional theory （DFT） PBE0 method. For complexes 1, 3 and 4, the 31p NMR chemical shifts calculated by PBE0-GIAO method are in good agreement with experimental results. The 31p chemical shift is 82.10 ppm in the designed complex 2. The Fe-Cu interactions （including Fe→Cu and Fe←Cu charge transfer） mainly exhibit the indirect interactions. Moreover, the Fe-Cu（I） interactions （mostly acting as σFe-p→4Scu and aFe-C→4Scu charge transfer） in complexes 3 and 4 are stronger than Fe-Cu（Ⅱ） interactions （mostly acting as σFe-p→4Scu and σFe-p←4Sc,） in complex 2. In complex 2, the stronger Fe←Cu interac- tions, acting as σFe-p←44SCu charge transfer, increase the electron density on P nucleus, which causes the upfield 31p chemical shift compared with mononuclear complex 1. For 3 and 4, although a little deshielding for P nucleus is derived from the delocalization of σFe-p→4Scu due to the Fe→Cu interactions, the stronger σFe-c→np charge-transfer finally increases the electron density on P nucleus. As a result, an upfield 31p chemical shift is observed compared with 1. The stability follows the order of 2〉3=4, indicating that Fe（CO）3（PhzPpy）2（CuCl2） is stable and could be synthesized experimentally. The N-Cu（Ⅱ） interaction plays an important role in the stability of 2. Because the delocalization of σFe-p→4SCu and σFe-c→πc-o weakens the a bonds of Fe-C and ~r bonds of CO, it is favorable for increasing the catalytic activity of binuclear complexes. Complexes 3 and 4 are expected to show higher catalytic activity compared to 2.

The Ni centre atom adopts a NiP2S2 square-planar geometry with two phosphorus atoms from the dppv ligand and two sulfur atoms from the O-（p-tolyl）dithiophosphate ligand. The most interesting structural feature of the title complex resides in its 1D helical chain structure constructing via intermolecular C-H＇＂O secondary interactions along the b-axis. The adjacent helical chains running in opposite directions are connected into a 1D double-stranded helical chain and further linked into a 2D supramolecular network by weak C-H.--C interaction.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a 2D Coordination Polymer： [Nd2（PDB）2（CH3COO）2（H2O）3]

A novel coordination polymer [Nd2（PDB）2（CH3COO）2（H2O）3] （H2PDB = pyridine3,4-dicarboxylic acid） has been synthesized by the reaction of Nd（CH3COO）3 with pyridine3,4-dicarboxylic acid under hydrothermal conditions. Elemental analysis, IR spectra and X-ray crystal structure analysis were carried out to determine the composition and crystal structure of the title complex which belongs to the triclinic system, space group P^-1 with a = 6.9409（14）, b = 7.5497（15）, c = 22.530（5）A, α = 84.79（3）, β = 88.15（3）, γ= 75.55（3）^o, C18H18N2O15Nd2, Mr = 790.82, Z = 2, V = 1138.5（4） A^3, Dc = 2.307 g/cm^3,μ = 4.593 mm^-1, -6≤h≤8, -5≤k ≤8, -26≤l≤ 26, F（000） = 760, Rint = 0.0298, R= 0.0314 and wR= 0.0695 （I〉 2σ（I））. Nd（1） and Nd（2） are linked into zigzag chains by carboxylate groups of acetate with interesting μ3-η^2：η^2 fashion. The zigzag chains are bridged by PDB to form a 2D framework, and a 3D supramolecular network is further constructed via π-π stacking.
