Framework Polymorphism and Modular Crystal Structures of Uranyl Vanadates of Divalent Cations: Synthesis and Characterization of M(UO2)(V2O7) (M = Ca,Sr) and Sr3(UO2)(V2O7)2

Uranyl vanadate compounds with divalent cations, M(UO₂)(V₂O₇) (M = Ca, Sr) and Sr₃(UO₂)(V₂O₇)₂, were synthesized by flux crystal growth, and their crystal structures were solved using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data. Ca(UO₂)V₂O₇ and Sr(UO₂)V₂O₇ were synthesized from reactants with molar ratios M:U:V of 1:1:2 and identical heating conditions, and increasing the M:U:V ratio to 3:1:4 resulted in Sr₃(UO₂)(V₂O₇)₂. Crystallographic data for M(UO₂)V₂O₇ compounds are: a = 7.1774(18) Å, b = 6.7753(17) Å, c = 8.308(2) Å; V = 404.01(18) ų; space group Pmn2₁, Z = 2 for Ca; a = 13.4816(11) Å, b = 7.3218(6) Å, c = 8.4886(7) Å; V = 837.91(12) ų; space group Pnma, Z = 4 for Sr. Compound Sr₃(UO₂)(V₂O₇)₂ has a = 6.891(3) Å, b = 7.171(3) Å, c = 14.696(6) Å, α = 85.201(4)?, β = 78.003(4)?, γ = 89.188(4)?; V = 707.9(5) ų; space group P1 , Z = 2. The framework structure of Sr(UO₂)(V₂O₇) is related to that of Pb(UO₂)(V₂O₇) reported previously, while that of Ca(UO₂)(V₂O₇) has a different topology. The topological polymorphism of the [(UO₂)(V₂O₇)]‐type framework may be due to the differing ionic radii of the guest M²⁺ cations. Compound Sr₃(UO₂)(V₂O₇)₂ has a modular structure based on two different types of electroneutral layers: [Sr(UO₂)(V₂O₇)] and [Sr₂(V₂O₇)]. Structural complexities were calculated, and Raman spectra were collected and their peaks were assigned.

Three Crystal Structures,One Chemical Formula – Barium Dihydrogen‐hypodiphosphate(IV)‐dihydrate,BaH2P2O6·2H2O

Three polymorphs of barium dihydrogen‐hypodiphosphate(IV)‐dihydrate, BaH₂P₂O₆ · 2H₂O ( A , B and C ), were obtained and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.

Alkoxo Compounds of Iron(III): Syntheses and Characterization of [Fe₂(OtBu)₆], [Fe₂Cl₂(OtBu)₄], [Fe₂Cl₄(OtBu)₂] and [N(nBu)₄]₂[Fe₆OCl₆(OMe)₁₂] The reaction of iron(III)chloride in diethylether with sodium tert‐butylat yielded the homoleptic dimeric tert‐‐butoxide Fe₂(OtBu)₆ ( 1 ). The chloro‐derivatives [Fe₂Cl₂(OtBu)₄] ( 2 ), and [Fe₂Cl₄(OtBu)₂] ( 3 ) could be synthesized by ligand exchange between 1 and iron(III)chloride. Each of the molecules 1 , 2 , and 3 consists of two edge‐sharing tetrahedrons, with two tert‐butoxo‐groups as μ₂‐bridging ligands. For the synthesis of the alkoxides 1 , 2 , and 3 diethylether plays an important role. In the first step the dietherate of iron(III)chloride FeCl₃(OEt₂)₂ ( 4 ) is formed. The reaction of iron(III)chloride with tetrabutylammonium methoxide in methanol results in the formation of a tetrabutylammonium methoxo‐chloro‐oxo‐hexairon cluster [N(nBu)₄]₂[Fe₆OCl₆(OMe)₁₂] ( 5 ).

The Borosulfate Story Goes on—From Alkali and Oxonium Salts to Polyacids

The structural principles of borosulfates derived from the B/S ratio are confirmed and extended to new representatives of this class showing novel motifs. According to the composition, Na[B(S₂O₇)₂] (P2₁/c; a=10.949(6), b=8.491(14), c=12.701(8) Å; β=110.227(1)°; Z=4) and K[B(S₂O₇)₂] (Cc; a=11.3368(6), b=14.662(14), c=13.6650(8) Å; β=94.235(1)°; Z=8) contain isolated [B(S₂O₇)₂]^? ions, in which the central BO₄ tetrahedron is coordinated by two disulfate units. The alkali cations have coordination numbers of 7 (Na) and 8 (K), respectively. The structure of Cs[B(S₂O₇)(SO₄)] (P2₁/c; a=10.4525(6), b=11.3191(14), c=8.2760(8) Å; β=103.206(1); Z=4) combines, for the first time, sulfate and disulfate units into a chain structure. Cs has a coordination number of 12. The same structural units were found in H[B(S₂O₇)(SO₄)] (P2₁/c; a=15.6974(6), b=11.4362(14), c=8.5557(8) Å; β=90.334(3)°; Z=8). This compound represents the first example of a polyacid. The hydrogen atoms were located and connect the chains to form layers through hydrogen‐bonding bridges. H₃O[B(SO₄)₂] (P4/ncc; a=9.1377(6), c=7.3423(8) Å; Z=4) is the first oxonium compound of this type to be found. The BO₄ tetrahedra are linked by SO₄ tetrahedra to form linear chains similar to those in SiS₂. The chains form a tetragonal rod packing structure with H₃O⁺ between the rods. The structures of borosulfates can be classified following the concept described by Liebau for silicates, which was extended to borophosphates by Kniep et al. In contrast to these structures, borosulfates do not comprise B‐O‐B bonds but instead contain S‐O‐S connections. All compounds were obtained as colourless, moisture‐sensitive single crystals by reaction of B₂O₃ and the appropriate alkali salt in oleum.

The compound crystallizes as a crystalline hydrate with two water molecules. Two planar fragments of dinitromethyl and 2-methoxy-4-dimethylamino-1,3,5-triazine construct the anion. Their geometrical parameters are explored. The coordination of potassium cations and numerous hydrogen bonds are found which result in the development of a complex 3-D framework.

NDUS, NDUS1, and NDUSe crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 15.0249(4) Å,b = 9.9320(2) Å, c = 15.6518(4) Å, β = 112.778(1)°, V = 2153.52(9) ų,Z = 4, the tetragonal space group P4₃2₁2, a = 10.6111(2) Å,c = 31.644(1) Å, V = 3563.0(2) ų, Z = 8, and in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 8.993(3) Å, b = 13.399(5) Å, c = 10.640(4) Å,β = 108.230(4)°, V = 1217.7(8) ų, Z = 4, respectively.The structural units of NDUS and NDUS1 are two‐dimensional uranyl sulfate sheets with a U/S ratio of 2/3. The structural unit of NDUSe is a two‐dimensional uranyl selenate‐selenite sheets with a U/Se ratio of 1/2. In‐situ reaction of the L ‐cystine ligands gives two distinct products for the different acids used here. Where sulfuric acid is used, only H₃O⁺ cations are located in the interlayer space, where they balance the charge of the sheets, whereas where selenic acid is used, interlayer C₅H₆N⁺ cations result from the cyclization of the carboxyl groups of L ‐cystine, balancing the charge of the sheets.     

CRYSTAL STRUCTURES AND TRIBOLUMINESCENT ACTIVITIES OF SAMARIUM(III) COMPLEXES

Abstract

The triboluminescence spectra and crystal structures of 1,2-dimethylpyridinium tetrakis(2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonato)samarium(III) (1) and 1,2,6-trimethylpyridinium tetrakis(2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonato)samarium(III) (2) were determined. The triboluminescent maximums are similar to those of the photoluminescence. Complex 1 is centrosymmetric and the triboluminescent emission may correlate with the disorder of all S atoms, all CF₃ groups and the cation. The triboluminescent activity of complex 2 may correlate with its noncentrosymmetric space group. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/a with cell parameters a = 19.874(2) Å, b = 22.922(2)Å, c = 21.188(1)Å, β = 108.126(6)°, V = 9173(1)ų; Z = 8; R = 0.0758 and R_w = 0.1315. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Pn with cell parameters a = 11.2808(6)Å, b = 11.0199(5)Å c c = 18.4336(9)Å, β = 108.126(6)° V = 2285.28(19)ų; Z = 4; R = 0.0347 and R_w = 0.0900. All the structures were refined by full-matrix least squares methods.     

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. Single-crystal structural analysis shows that both 1 and 2 consist of a new type of [γ-As₈V₁₄O₄₂(H₂O)]^4? cluster anion.     

Hydroxo‐bridged Tetranuclear CuII Complexes: {[Cu(bpy)(OH)]4Cl2}Cl2 · 6 H2O and {[Cu(phen)(OH)]4(H2O)2}]Cl4 · 4 H2O

The blue tetranuclear Cu^II complexes {[Cu(bpy)(OH)]₄Cl₂}Cl₂ · 6 H₂O ( 1 ) and {[Cu(phen)(OH)]₄(H₂O)₂}Cl₄ · 4 H₂O ( 2 ) were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. ( 1 ): P 1 (no. 2), a = 9.240(1) Å, b = 10.366(2) Å, c = 12.973(2) Å, α = 85.76(1)°, β = 75.94(1)°, γ = 72.94(1)°, V = 1152.2(4) ų, Z = 1; ( 2 ): P 1 (no. 2), a = 9.770(3) Å, b = 10.118(3) Å, c = 14.258(4) Å, α = 83.72(2)°, β = 70.31(1)°, γ = 70.63(1)°, V = 1252.0(9) ų, Z = 1. The building units are centrosymmetric tetranuclear {[Cu(bpy)(OH)]₄Cl₂}²⁺ and {[Cu(phen)(OH)]₄(H₂O)₂}⁴⁺ complex cations formed by condensation of four elongated square pyramids CuN₂(OH)₂L^ap with the apical ligands L^ap = Cl, H₂O, OH. The resulting [Cu₄(μ₂‐OH)₂(μ₃‐OH)₂] core has the shape of a zigzag band of three Cu₂(OH)₂ squares. The cations exhibit intramolecular and intermolecular π‐π stacking interactions and the latter form 2D layers with the non‐bonded Cl^– anions and H₂O molecules in between (bond lengths: Cu–N = 1.995–2.038 Å; Cu–O = 1.927–1.982 Å; Cu–Cl^ap = 2.563; Cu–O^ap(OH) = 2.334–2.369 Å; Cu–O^ap(H₂O) = 2.256 Å). The Cu…Cu distances of about 2.93 Å do not indicate direct interactions, but the strongly reduced magnetic moment of about 2.74 B.M. corresponds with only two unpaired electrons per formula unit of 1 (1.37 B.M./Cu) and obviously results from intramolecular spin couplings (χ_m(T‐θ) = 0.933 cm³ · mol^–1 · K with θ = –0.7 K).     

Two Hybrid Compounds Constructed from Vanadate Clusters and Secondary Metal‐Bis(imidazole) Subunits

Two new inorganic–organic vanadate hybrid compounds [Mn(Hbbi)₂(V₄O₁₂)] ( 1 ) and [Cd(Hbbi)₂(V₄O₁₂)] ( 2 ) (bbi = 1,1’‐(1,4‐butanediyl)bis(imidazole)) were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, TG and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The two compounds crystallize in monoclinic system, P2₁/c space group with a = 8.556(5) Å, b = 10.761(5) Å, c = 16.917(5) Å, β = 93.032(5) ^o, V = 1555.4(12) Å³, Z = 2, R = 0.0390 for 1 and a = 8.657(5) Å, b = 10.743 (5) Å, c = 16.864 (5) Å, β = 93.81(5)^o, V = 1564.9 (12) Å³, Z = 2, R = 0.0717 for 2 . Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that the two compounds are isostructural and both consist of one‐dimensional (1D) chains, which are constructed from vanadate anion clusters and [M(Hbbi)₂]⁴⁺ cation groups [M = Mn^II ( 1 ), Cd^II ( 2 )]. Moreover, the polymeric chains are ultimately packed into a three‐dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework through C–H ··· O and N–H ··· O hydrogen bonding interactions.     

Molecular structure of 2-methoxy-4-pyrrolidinyl-6-trinitromethyl-1,3,5-triazine

An X-ray diffraction study of 2-methoxy-4-pyrrolidinyl-6-trinitromethyl-1,3,5-triazine was carried out. The crystals are triclinic; C₉H₁₁N₇O₇; M = 329.25; a = 8.536(1) Å, b = 9.378(2) Å, c = 9.7401(8) Å; α = 79.13(1)°, β = 73.974(8)°; γ = 72.76(1)°; V = 710.8(2) ų, d _c = 1.54 g/cm³, Z = 2, space group P1ˉ. The molecule on the whole is planar, except the pyrrolidine ring, which has a twist conformation. No significant π-π interactions and hydrogen bonds of C-H⋯N or C-H⋯O type were found in the crystal, and the molecule packing is stabilized only due to van der Waals interactions.
