Mossbauer study of reactions of Sn[Fe(CN)_6] on supports

Mossbauer spectroscopy has been applied to the investigation of reaction of Sn[Fe(CN)6] on magnesia, 7-alumina, silica and activated carbon. It was found that the thermal decomposition products of supported Sn[Fe(CN)6] are quite different from those of the unsupported one as a result of the interaction between the complex and supports. The supports could promote the oxidation in the air atmosphere and their effect led to high dispersion of the decomposition products on the surface.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Properties of Tri-substitute Potassium Salt of Trinitrophloroglucinol

The title complex [K3（TNPG）·（H2O）2]n was synthesized by the reaction of the aqueous solutions of trinitrophlomglucinol （TNPG） with KHCO3. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis and FTIR spectroscopy, and its single crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The structural analysis demonstrates that two different coordination modes of K cations [K（1） and K（2）] are around TNPG^3- anions in complex [Ka（TNPG）·（H2O）2]n, where the coordination numbers are eight. All K atoms coordinate with O atoms of phenolic hydroxyl group and nitro-group simultaneously. The thermolysis of the [Ka（TNPG） · （H2O）2]n has been investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） and thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry （TG-DTG） at a heating rate of 10 ℃/min. The thermal decomposition processes of the title complex were comprised of one endothermic dehydration stage and one exothermic decomposition stage in 270-320℃, and the final decomposition residue contained KNC. Impact and friction sensitivity results of the complex revealed its sensitive nature towards mechanical stimuli. The experiments verified that the complex has some characteristics of explosive.     

纳米铜粉对高氯酸铵热分解的影响

The decomposition behaviour of ammonium perchlorate (AP) has been investigated in the presence of Cu nanopowder by DTA. The results show that nanometer Cu powder decreased the first and second thermal decomposition temperature of AP by 35.1 ℃ and 130.2 ℃, respectively, and the DTA heat release of AP in the presence of Cu nanopowders increased to 1.20 kJ·g^-1, showing good catalytic effect on the thermal decomposition of AP. The catalytic effect of Cu micron-size powder on the thermal decomposition of AP was less than that of Cu nanopowder. With the increase in content, Cu nanopowder enhanced its catalytic effect on the high temperature decomposition of AP, however, it weakened its catalytic effect on the low temperature decomposition of AP. The mechanism of catalysis for the thermal decomposition of AP is as follows: (1) metal oxider acts as the intermedium in the process of election tranfer, (2) Cu nanopowder reacts with the decomposed product of AP, (3) Cu nanopowder has special surface effect.     

Theoretical Study on Reactivity of Electron Transfer in Model—System of Oxidation of α—Amino Carbon—centered Radical by O2

Electron transfer reaction between a simplified model model molecule of α－amino carbon-centered radical and O2 has studied with ab initio calculations at the MP2/6-31 G^**//UHF/6-31 G^** level,The reactant complex and the ion pair complex have been optimized and employed to perform calculation of the reaction heat and the reorganization energy,Solvent effects have been considered by applyning the conductor-like screening model,Theoretical results show that the highly endothermic charge separation process ,in which one electron transfers from the α－amino carbon-centered radical to O2,so as to form an ion pair complex,is difficult to occur in gas-phase,By apply-ing an external electronic field to prepare the charge-locallized molecular orbitals,the charge-separated state has been obtained using the initial-guess-induced self-consistent field technique,The theoretical investigations indicate that the solvent effect in the process of the oxidation of α-animo carbon-centered radical by O2 is remarkable.From the rate constant estima-tion ,it can be predicted that the oxidation of the model donor molecule by O2 can proceed,but not very fast.A peroxyl radi-cal compound has been found to be a competitive intermediate in the oxidation process.     

Crystal Structure of 4—（4—chlorophenyl）—7,7—dimethyl—2,5—dioxo—1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8—octahydroquinoline

1 INTRODUCTION Since the discovery of the pharmacological effects of 1,4-dihydropridines(1,4-DHPs) as calcium channel blocks[1], a great deal of work has been directed towards synthesis of the novel 1,4-DHPs acting as calcium antagonists[2, 3]. In fact, it is well-established that slightly modified structures on the DHP exhibit a calcium agents effect[4, 5] ; however, two fused rings have been less well-studied. By refluxing equivalent amounts of dimedone, aromatic aldehyde Meldrum抯 …

A novel solid-gas process to synthesize LaMnO3 perovskite with high surface area and excellent activity for methane combustion

A novel solid-gas route to prepare LaMnO3 perovskite catalysts for methane combustion has been developed. The method was carried out using a polyvinylpyrrolidone-metal complex as precursor via a solid-gas process to obtain the target materials. The structure and properties of the precursor and the catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, TG-DSC, XRD and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. The results indicate that the catalysts synthesized via the solid-gas process possess higher surface areas, better thermal resistance and catalytic activity as compared to those prepared with the conventional sol-gel citrate method.     

Decomposition Reaction of Zn-MPA（3-Mercaptopropionic Acid） Complex Under Microwave Irradiation

The thermal decomposition of Zn-MPA complex was investigated under microwave irradiation. ZnO and ZnS nanocrystals could be obtained by decomposing Zn-MPA（3-mercaptopropionic acid） complex under different reaction conditions. It was found that both the pH value of the solution and the molar ratio of Zn2＋ and MPA can play an important role in the formation of ZnO and ZnS nanocrystals. MPA mainly acts as an S source or as a complexing agent. This study provides a new route for the controllable preparation of semiconductor nanocrystals.

Based on the structure of FK506, FKBP12 and calcineurin complex and the interactive characteristics of small molecular ligands with FKBPs, a series of L-1,4-thiazane-3-carboxylic acid derivatives as neuroimmunophilin ligands was designed and synthesized. The results of evaluation show that compound N308 has a great promise as a candidate of neuroprotective and neuroregenerative agent.     

光照对高铁酸盐溶液稳定性的影响

The effects of light wave on the stability of fen'ate solution have been examined. The results showed that UV-light accelerates the decomposition of ferrate with decomposition rate 1.6 times as much as that in dark whereas infrared light has only unclear effect on the stability of ferrate, with decomposition rate 1.1 times as much as in dark. The polythene container is found to the best for preservation of ferrate solution in dark.     

The reaction of [FeII(tpa)] with H2O2 in acetonitrile and acetone--distinct intermediates and yet similar catalysis

The reaction of [FeII(tpa)(OTf)2] (tpa=tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) and its related 5-Me3-tpa complex with hydrogen peroxide affords spectroscopically distinct iron(III)-peroxo intermediates in CH3CN and acetone. The reaction in acetonitrile at -40 degrees C results in the formation of the previously reported Fe(III)-OOH intermediate, the end-on hydroperoxo coordination mode of which is established in this paper by detailed resonance Raman isotope-labeling experiments. On the other hand, the reaction in acetone below -40 degrees C leads to the observation of a different peroxo intermediate identified by resonance Raman spectroscopy to be an FeIII-OOC (CH3)2OH species; this represents the first example of an intermediate derived from the adduct of H2O2 and acetone. The peroxoacetone intermediate decays more rapidly than the corresponding FeIII-OOH species and converts to an FeIV=O species by O-O bond homolysis. This decay process is analogous to that observed for [FeIII(tpa)(OOtBu)]2+ and in fact exhibits a comparable enthalpy of activation of 54(3) kJ mol(-1). Thus, with respect to their physical properties at low temperature, the peroxoacetone intermediate resembles [FeIII(tpa)(OOtBu)]2+ more than the corresponding FeIII-OOH species. At room temperature, however, the behavior of the Fe(tpa)/H2O2 combination in acetone in catalytic hydrocarbon oxidations differs significantly from that of the Fe(tpa)/tBuOOH combination and more closely matches that of the Fe(tpa)/H2O2 combination in CH3CN. Like the latter, the Fe(tpa)/H2O2 combination in acetone catalyzes the hydroxylation of cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane to its tertiary alcohol with high stereoselectivity and carries out the epoxidation and cis-dihydroxylation of olefins. These results demonstrate the subtle complexity of the Fe(tpa)/H2O2 reaction surface.     

Metal complexes of tetrapodal ligands: synthesis, spectroscopic and thermal studies, and X-ray crystal structure studies of Na(I), Ca(II), Sr(II), and Ba(II) complexes of tetrapodal ligands N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine and N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine

Twelve complexes 1-12 of general category [M(ligand)(anion)(x)(water)(y)], where ligand = N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-hydroxypropyl/ethyl)ethylenediamine (HPEN/HEEN), anion = anions of picric acid (PIC), 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (DNB), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), and o-nitrobenzoic acid (ONB), M = Ca(2+), Sr(2+), Ba(2+), or Na(+), x = 1 and 2, and y = 0-4, were synthesized. All of these complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR, and thermal studies. X-ray crystal studies of these complexes 1-12, [Ca(HPEN)(H(2)O)(2)](PIC)(2).H(2)O (1), [Ca(HEEN)(PIC)](PIC) (2), Ba(HPEN)(PIC)(2) (3), [Na(HPEN)(PIC)](2) (4), Ca(HPEN)(H(2)O)(2)](DNB)(2).H(2)O (5),Ca(HEEN)(H(2)O)](DNB)(2).H(2)O (6), [Sr(HPEN)(H(2)O)(3)](DNB)(2) (7), [Ba(HPEN)(H(2)O)(2)](DNB)(2).H(2)O](2) (8), [[Ba(HEEN)(H(2)O)(2)](ONB)(2)](2) (9), [[Sr(HPEN)(H(2)O)(2)](DNP)(2)](2) (10), [[Ba(HPEN)(H(2)O)(2)](DNP)(2)](2) (11), and [Ca(HEEN)(DNP)](DNP) (H(2)O) (12), have been carried out at room temperature. Factors which influence the stability and the type of complex formed have been recognized as H-bonding interactions, presence/absence of solvent, nature of the anion, and nature of the cation. Both the ligands coordinate the metal ion through all the six available donor atoms. The complexes 1 and 5-11 have water molecules in the coordination sphere, and their crystal structures show that water is playing a dual character. It coordinates to the metal ion on one hand and strongly hydrogen bonds to the anion on the other. These strong hydrogen bonds stabilize the anion and decrease the cation-anion interactions by many times to an extent that the anions are completely excluded out of the coordination sphere and produce totally charge-separated complexes. In the absence of water molecules as in 2 and 3 the number of hydrogen bonds is reduced considerably. In both the complexes the anions case interact more strongly with the metal ion to give rise to a partially charge-separated 2 or tightly ion-paired 3 complex. High charge density Ca(2+) forms only monomeric complexes. It has more affinity toward stronger nucleophiles such as DNP and PIC with which it gives partially charge-separated eight-coordinated complexes. But with relatively weaker nucleophile like DNB, water replaces the anion and produces a seven coordinated totally charge-separated complex. Sr(2+) with lesser charge/radius ratio forms only charge-separated monomeric as well as dimeric complexes. Higher coordination number of Sr(2+) is achieved with coordinated water molecules which may be bridging or nonbridging in nature. All charge-separated complexes of the largest Ba(2+) are dimeric with bridging water molecules. Only one monomeric ion-paired complex was obtained with Ba(PIC)(2). Na(+) forms a unique dinuclear cryptand-like complex with HPEN behaving as a heptadentate chelating-cum-bridging ligand.     

Mononuclear oxovanadium complexes of tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine

Mononuclear oxovanadium(IV) and dioxovanadium(V) complexes of tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (tpa) have been prepared for the first time. Crystal structure determinations of three oxovanadium(IV) complexes, [VO(SO4)(tpa)], [VOCl(tpa)]PF6, or [VOBr(tpa)]PF6, and a dioxovanadium(v) complex [V(O)2(tpa)]PF6 disclosed that the tertiary nitrogen of the tpa ligand always occupies the trans-to-oxo site. The structures of an oxo-peroxo complex [VO(O2)(tpa)]Cl that was prepared previously and of a mu-oxo vanadium(III) complex [{VCl(tpa)}2(mu-O)](PF6)2 have also been determined. The tertiary nitrogen is located at a trans site to the peroxo and chloride ligands, respectively. The total sums of the four V-N bond lengths from the tpa ligand are remarkably similar among the six complexes, indicating that the vanadium oxidation states become less influential in tpa bonding due primarily to the coordination of electron-donating oxo ligand(s). Absorption spectra of [VOCl(tpa)]+ in acetonitrile showed a significant change upon addition of p-toluenesulfonic acid and HClO4, but not on addition of benzoic acid. Protonation at the oxo ligand by the former two acids is suggested. Cyclic voltammetric studies in acetonitrile verified the proton-coupled redox behavior of the V(III)/V(IV) process involving the oxo ligand for the first time. From the dependence of the added p-toluenesulfonic acid to the CV, redox potentials for the following species have been estimated: [V(IV)OCl(tpa)]+/[V(III)OCl(tpa)](E1/2=-1.59 V vs. Fc+/Fc), [V(IV)(OH)Cl(tpa)]2+/[V(III)(OH)Cl(tpa)]+(Epc=-1.34 V), [V(IV)(OH2)Cl(tpa)]3+/[V(III)(OH2)Cl(tpa)]2+(Epa=-0.49 V), and [V(IV)Cl2(tpa)]2+/[V(III)Cl2(tpa)]+(E1/2=-0.89 V). The reduction of [V(V)(O)2(tpa)]+ in 0.05 M [(n-Bu)4N]PF6 acetonitrile showed a major irreversible reduction wave V(V)/(IV) at -1.48 V. The metal reduction potentials of the oxovanadium(IV) and dioxovanadium(V) species are very close, reinforcing the significant influence of the oxo ligand(s).     

LZnX complexes of tripodal ligands with intramolecular RN-H hydrogen bonding groups: structural implications of a hydrogen bonding cavity, and of X/R in the hydrogen bonding geometry/strength

Tripodal ligands N(CH2Py)3-n(CH2Py-6-NHR)n(R=H, n=1-3 L1-3, n=0 tpa; R=CH2tBu, n=1-3 L'1-3) are used to investigate the effect of different hydrogen bonding microenvironments on structural features of their LZnX complexes (X=Cl-, NO3-, OH-). The X-ray structures of [(L2)Zn(Cl)](BPh4)2.0.5(H2O.CH3CN), [(L3)Zn(Cl)](BPh4)3.CH3CN, [(L'1)Zn(Cl)](BPh4) 1', [(L'2)Zn(Cl)](BPh4)2'.CH3OH, and [(L'3)Zn(Cl)](BPh4)3' have been determined and exhibit trigonal bipyramidal geometries with intramolecular (internal) N-HCl-Zn hydrogen bonds. The structure of [(L'2)Zn(ONO2)]NO3 4'.H2O with two internal N-HO-Zn hydrogen bonds has also been determined. The axial Zn-Cl distance lengthens from 2.275 A in [(tpa)Zn(Cl)](BPh4) to 2.280-2.347 A in 1-3, 1'-3'. Notably, the average Zn-N(py) distance is also progressively lengthened from 2.069 A in [(tpa)Zn(Cl)](BPh4) to 2.159 and 2.182 A in the triply hydrogen bonding cavity of 3 and 3', respectively. Lengthening of the Zn-Cl and Zn-N(py) bonds is accompanied by a progressive shortening of the trans Zn-N bond from 2.271 A in [(tpa)Zn(Cl)](BPh4) to 2.115 A in 3 (2.113 A in 3'). As a result of the triply hydrogen bonding microenvironment the Zn-Cl and Zn-N(py) distances of 3 are at the upper end of the range observed for axial Zn-Cl bonds, whereas the axial Zn-N distance is one of shortest among N4 ligands that induce a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Despite the rigidity of these tripodal ligands, the geometry of the intramolecular RN-HX-Zn hydrogen bonds (X=Cl-, OH-, NO3-) is strongly dependent on the nature of X, however, on average, similar for R=H, CH2tBu.     

Oxidation chemistry of uranium(III) complexes of Tpa: synthesis and structural studies of oxo,hydroxo, and alkoxo complexes of uranium(IV)

The crystal structure of the complex [U(tpa)(2)]I(3), 1 (tpa = tris[(2-pyridyl)methyl]amine), has been elucidated. The complex exists as only one enantiomer in the crystal leading to the chiral space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). The coordination geometry of the metal can be described as a distorted cube. Accidental oxidation of [U(tpa)(2)]I(3) led to the isolation of the unusual mononuclear bishydroxo complex of uranium(IV) [U(tpa)(2)(OH)(2)]I(2).3CH(3)CN, 2, which was structurally characterized. The controlled reaction of [U(tpa)(2)]I(3) with water resulted in the oxidation of the metal center and led to the formation of protonated tpa and of the trinuclear U(IV) oxo complex ([U(tpa)(mu-O)I](3)(mu(3)-I))I(2), 3. The solid state and solution structures of this trimer are reported. The pathway suggested for the formation of this complex is the oxidation of the [U(tpa)(2)]I(3) complex by H(2)O to form a U(IV) hydroxo complex which then decomposes, eliminating mono-protonated tpa. The comparison with the reported reaction with water of cyclopentadienyl derivatives points to a higher reactivity toward water reduction of the bis(tpa) complex with respect to the cyclopentadienyl derivatives. The reaction of U(III) with methanol in the presence of the supporting ligand tpa leads to formation of alkoxo complexes similarly to what is found for amide or cyclopentadienyl derivatives. The monomethoxide complex [U(tpa)I(3)(OMe)], 4, has been prepared in good yield by alcoholysis of the U(III) mono(tpa) complex. The crystal structure of this complex has been determined. The reaction of [U(tpa)(2)]I(3) with 2 equiv of methanol in acetonitrile allows the isolation of the bismethoxo complex of U(IV) [U(tpa)I(2)(OMe)(2)], 5, in 35-47% yield, which has been fully characterized. To account for the oxidation of U(III) to U(IV) the suggested mechanism assumes that hydrogen is evolved in both reactions.     

Synthesis, characterization, and photoresponsive properties of a series of Mo(IV)-Cu(II) complexes

Six Mo(IV)-Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(tpa)](2)[Mo(CN)(8)]·15H(2)O (1, tpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine), [Cu(tren)](2)[Mo(CN)(8)]·5.25H(2)O (2, tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine), [Cu(en)(2)][Cu(0.5)(en)][Cu(0.5)(en)(H(2)O)][Mo(CN)(8)]·4H(2)O (3, en = ethylenediamine), [Cu(bapa)](3)[Mo(CN)(8)](1.5)·12.5H(2)O (4, bapa = bis(3-aminopropyl)amine), [Cu(bapen)](2)[Mo(CN)(8)]·4H(2)O (5, bapen = N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)ethylenediamine), and [Cu(pn)(2)][Cu(pn)][Mo(CN)(8)]·3.5H(2)O (6, pn = 1,3-diaminopropane), were synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses show that 1-6 have different structures varying from trinuclear clusters (1-2), a one-dimensional belt (3), two-dimensional grids (4-5), to a three-dimensional structure (6). Magnetic and ESR measurements suggest that 1-6 exhibit thermally reversible photoresponsive properties on UV light irradiation through a Mo(IV)-to-Cu(II) charge transfer mechanism. A trinuclear compound [Cu(II)(tpa)](2)[Mo(V)(CN)(8)](ClO(4)) (7) was synthesized as a model of the photoinduced intermediate.     

Assembling metals (Co II and Mn II) with pyridylcarboxylates in the presence of azide: synthesis, structural aspects and magnetic behavior of three coordination polymers

The reaction between Co(NO3)2.6H2O and substituted pyridylcarboxylic acid [nicotinic acid (Hnic) or trans-3-pyridylacrylic acid (Htpa)] in the presence of NaN3 under hydrothermal conditions yielded [Co(1.5)(nic)2 (Hnic)(N3)]n (1) and [Co(1.5)(tpa)2 (N3)(H2O)]n (2), respectively. Single crystal structure analyses reveal that both complexes are 3D complicated coordination polymers. The basic repeating units in both of the complexes are Co(3) trinuclear clusters containing syn-syn bridging carboxylate and end-on azido linker. A similar reaction using MnCl2.4H2O in presence of equimolar amounts of Htpa and NaN3 yielded a 2D corrugated sheet [Mn(tpa)2]n (3) containing no azide. Complex 3 can also be synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using Natpa in the absence of NaN3. Surprisingly, the same reaction at room temperature yielded a known mononuclear complex [Mn(tpa)2(H2O)4]. Variable temperature magnetic studies down to 2 K revealed the dominant antiferromagnetic nature of the first two complexes with a ferrimagnetic type of behavior despite the facts that they are homometallic and homospin systems. The susceptibility data in both cases were analyzed by a Co3 trinuclear model as well as considering inter-trimer interactions. Complex 3 is weakly antiferromagnetic in nature with an exchange parameter of J = -2 cm(-1) through the syn-anti bridging carboxylate pathway.     

Synthesis, crystal structures, and properties of oxovanadium(IV)-lanthanide(III) heteronuclear complexes

A new series of oxovanadium(IV)-lanthanide(III) heteronuclear complexes [Yb(H2O)8]2[(VO)2(TTHA)](3)21 H2O (1), {[Ho(H2O)7(VO)2(TTHA)][(VO)2(TTHA)](0.5)} 8.5 H2O (2), {[Gd(H2O)7(VO)2(TTHA)][(VO)2(TTHA)](0.5)}8.5 H2O (3), {[Eu(H2O)7][(VO)2(TTHA)](1.5)} 10.5 H2O (4), and [Pr2(H2O)6(SO4)2][(VO)2(TTHA)] (5) (H6TTHA=triethylenetetraaminehexaacetic acid) were prepared by using the bulky flexible organic acid H(6)TTHA as structure-directing agent. X-ray crystallographic studies reveal that they contain the same [(VO)2(TTHA)]2- unit as building block, but the Ln3+ ion lies in different coordination environments. Although the lanthanide ions always exhibit similar chemical behavior, the structures of the complexes are not homologous. Compound 1 is composed of a [Yb(H2O)8]3+ ion and a [(VO)2(TTHA)]2- ion. Compounds 2 and 3 are isomorphous; both contain a trinuclear [Ln(H2O)7(VO)2(TTHA)]+ (Ln=Ho for 2 and Gd for 3) ion and a [(VO)2(TTHA)]2- ion. Compound 4 is an extended one-dimensional chain, in which each Eu3+ ion links two [(VO)2(TTHA)]2- ions. For 5, the structure is further assembled into a three-dimensional network with an interesting framework topology comprising V2Pr2 and V4Pr2 heterometallic lattices. Moreover, 4 and 5 are the first oxovanadium(IV)-lanthanide(III) coordination polymers and thus enlarge the realm of 3d-4f complexes. The IR, UV/Vis, and EPR spectra and the magnetic properties of the heterometallic complexes were studied. Notably, 2 shows unusual ferromagnetic interactions between the VO2+ and Ho3+ ions.     

A New Two-dimensional Zinc Coordination Polymer Constructed by 1,3-Bis(4-pyridyl)-propane and Terephthalate: Synthesis and Crystal Structure

A new zinc coordination polymer, [Zn2(bpp)(tpa)2H2O] 1 (bpp=1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)-propane and tpa=terephthalate) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray crystal structure analysis reveals that complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P2/c with a=18.348(2), b=10.9080(14), c=13.7924(18), β=98.156(2)°, V=2732.5(6)3 , Z=4, C29H24N2O9Zn2 , Mr=675.24, Z=4, F(000)=1376, Dc=1.641 mg/m3 , μ=1.815 mm-1 , the final R=0.0443 and wR=0.0769 for 2715 observed reflections (I>2σ(I)). The title complex exhibits a two-dimensional (4, 4) sheet structure which is further stacked through face-to-face π-π interactions between the monodentately coordinated pyridine ring of bpp ligand and the phenyl ring of terephthalate ligand to form a 3-dimensional supramolecular structure. Thermogravimetric analyses show that the host framework of the complex is thermally stable up to ca. 400 ℃.     

Crystal structure and thermal decomposition mechanism of the supramolecular complex of barium chloride with inositol

The single crystal of [Ba(H2O)2(C6H12O6)2Cl2] was obtained based on the phase equilibrium results. Its structure was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The crystals are monoclinic and in space group C2/c with a=1.901 7(2) nm, b = 0.682 13(8) nm, c = 0.162 60(2) nm,β=96.593(2)°and V= 2.095 3(4) nm3, Z= 4, DC=1.917 g·cm-3. In its solid state, this supramolecular complex is a three-dimensional network with double layers connected by hydrogen bondings. The molecule structure of [Ba(H2O)2(C6H12O6)2Cl2] has a central barium ion that is coordinated to two water molecules, two chlorides, and four hydroxyls from the two inosi-tols. Losing the coordinating water is controlled by random nucleation and growth mechanism (n = 2/3) and 3-dimensional diffusion mechanism (n=2).
