Intercalation phases of Me_x[Ta₂S₂C] typ (Me=Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu)

Ta₂S₂C forms intercalation phases with the transition metals of the first long period. The elements Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni occupy the octahedral voids in the sulphur double layers of 3s-Ta₂S₂C. Copper is intercalated into the tetrahedral voids of 1s-Ta₂S₂C. The temperature dependence of the paramagnetic susceptibilities exhibitsCurie-Weiss behaviour indicating ferromagnetic ordering for Mn_x[Ta₂S₂C] and Fe_x[Ta₂S₂C] and antiferromagnetic ordering for V_x[Ta₂S₂C], Cr_x[Ta₂S₂C], Co_x[Ta₂S₂C], and Cu_x[Ta₂S₂C] at low temperatures. The structural and magnetic properties of these phases are discussed.

Protonic modulation of redox properties in ionisable [2 x 2] grid-like metalloarrays

The oxidation state of the cobalt centres can be controlled by modification of the protonation state in [2 x 2] grid-like arrays based on ionisable bis(hydrazone) ligands, allowing conversion of the paramagnetic Co(II)(4) into the diamagnetic Co(III)(4) grid.     

Calorimetric study of correlated disordering in [Hdamel]2[Cu(II)(tdpd)2] x 2 THF crystal

The heat capacity of [Hdamel]2[Cu(II)(tdpd)2] x 2 THF was measured from 6 to 250 K by adiabatic calorimetry. There are four heat anomalies around 150 K associated with disordering in the orientation of the uncoordinated THF molecules and in the conformation of the out-of-plane allyl groups of [Hdamel](+) units. The total entropy of transition was determined to be 19.8 J K(-1) mol(-1), less than the 4R ln 2 (R = gas constant) expected from the crystal structure at room temperature. The smallness of the total entropy change on phase transitions proves the presence of the strong motional correlation between the adjacent allyl groups. The calorimetric conclusion agreed with the crystal structure at 200 K re-examined in this study.     

Self-assembly,characterisation, and crystal structure of multinuclear metal complexes of the [2 x 3] and [3 x 3] grid-type

The self-assembly of new multimetallic complexes of grid-type architecture is described. The binding of a set of tris-terdentate ligands, 1 a-1 d, based on terpyridine-like subunits, with different octahedrally coordinated metal ions leads to the formation of species whose structure depends strongly on the ligand, the metal ion, the counterion, the solvent, and the reaction conditions. Under suitable conditions, the [3 x 3] grid was obtained from the reaction of ligand 1 a with zinc tetrafluoroborate and from ligand 1 b with mercury triflate. The other ligands led to the formation of mainly one compound of composition [M(6)L(5)](12+), which has the structure of an incomplete [2 x 3] grid. The crystal structure of such a [2 x 3] grid, [Co(6)(1 d)(5)](12+), has been determined. In this complex, the three central pyrimidine-pyridine-pyrimidine non-coordinating sites adopt transoid NCbond;CN conformations. The much less stable cisoid conformations, the "pinching" of the coordination sites in the complex, the weaker donor strength of the central binding site, and the steric demand of the substituents are all factors contributing to the reluctance to produce the [3 x 3] structure. A subtle interplay between the nature of the metal, the steric demand of the ligand, the reaction conditions, and the type of counterion determine the product of self-assembly. The results obtained show that by tuning the parameters, complexes containing six or nine octahedrally coordinated metal ions in a well-defined grid-type arrangement are accessible. Both types of arrays, [2 x 3] and [3 x 3 ], are of interest as self-assembled inorganic architectures of well-defined structure and nuclearity that may be suitable prototypes for selective information storage media.     

A rigid cavity containing tetra-cobalt(III) [2 x 2] grid complex

The synthesis and structure of a rigid, cavity containing tetra-cobalt(III) [2 x 2] grid complex using an unusual bis(bipyridine)dimethoxynaphthyridine ligand is described.     

Solvent-modulated reversible conversion of a [2 x 2]-grid into a pincer-like complex

The triazine derived ligand reacts with one equivalent of Co(II) salts to give complexes whose architecture depends on the solvent employed: the [2 x 2]-grid like tetranuclear complex and the pincer-like mononuclear complex, obtained respectively by crystallization from nitromethane and from acetonitrile may be interconverted reversibly, the grid-pincer conversion being markedly accelerated by adding an amine.     

Chiral Resolution of Spin-Crossover Active Iron(II) [2x2] Grid Complexes

Chiral magnetic materials are proposed for applications in second-order non-linear optics, magneto-chiral dichroism, among others. Recently, we have reported a set of tetra-nuclear Fe(II) grid complex conformers with general formula C/S-[Fe₄L₄]⁸⁺ (L: 2,6-bis(6-(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-1,5-dihydrobenzo[1,2-d : 4,5-d′]diimidazole). In the grid complexes, isomerism emerges from tautomerism and conformational isomerism of the ligand L, and the S-type grid complex is chiral, which originates from different non-centrosymmetric spatial organization of the trans type ligand around the Fe(II) center. However, the selective preparation of an enantiomerically pure grid complex in a controlled manner is difficult due to spontaneous self-assembly. To achieve the pre-synthesis programmable resolution of Fe(II) grid complexes, we designed and synthesized two novel intrinsically chiral ligands by appending chiral moieties to the parent ligand. The complexation of these chiral ligands with Fe(II) salt resulted in the formation of enantiomerically pure Fe(II) grid complexes, as unambiguously elucidated by CD and XRD studies. The enantiomeric complexes exhibited similar gradual and half-complete thermal and photo-induced SCO characteristics. The good agreement between the experimentally obtained and calculated CD spectra further supports the enantiomeric purity of the complexes and even the magnetic studies. The chiral resolution of Fe(II)- [2×2] grid complexes reported in this study, for the first time, might enable the fabrication of magneto-chiral molecular devices.     

Functional supramolecular devices: [M4IIL4]8+ [2 x 2]-grid-type complexes as multilevel molecular electronic species

The [M(4)(II)L(4)](8+) [2 x 2]-grid-type complexes 1-8 present a set of features of particular interest for potential applications. All complexes exhibit multiple reduction levels at low reduction potentials paired with rather high stability. The modulation of the reduction potentials is possible by introduction of appropriate substituents on the ligands. The Co(II)(4) complexes 1-5 present a remarkable regularity in the disposition of the reduction levels, indicating the ability of the Co(II) sites to transmit electronic interactions between reduced ligands. In general, all investigated molecular systems 1-8 show characteristics typical for multilevel supramolecular electronic devices.     

High-spin [2 x 2] [Fe(III)2Ni(II)2] heterometallic square grid with an S = 3 ground state

A [2 x 2] heterometallic [Fe(III)2Ni(II)2] ferrimagnetic, square-grid complex has been synthesized by the self-assembly reaction of a mononuclear Fe(III) precursor with Ni(NO3)2. Intramolecular antiferromagnetic exchange through the resulting hydrazone O-bridging framework (M-O-M 133.3-136.4 degrees) leads to an S = 3 ground state. Structural and magnetic properties are discussed.     

Li6+2x[B10Se18]Sex (x ≈ 2), ein ionenleitendes Doppelsalz

Li_6+2x[B₁₀Se₁₈]Se_x (x ≈ 2), an Ion‐conducting Double Salt Li_6+2x[B₁₀Se₁₈]Se_x (x ≈ 2) was prepared in a solid state reaction from lithium selenide, amorphous boron and selenium in evacuated carbon coated silica tubes at a temperature of 800 °C. Subsequent cooling from 600 °C to 300 °C gave amber colored crystals with the following lattice parameters: space group I2/a (at 173 K); a = 17.411(1) Å, b = 21.900(1) Å, c = 17.820(1) Å, β = 101.6(1)°. The crystal structure contains a well‐defined polymeric selenoborate network of composition ([B₁₀Se₁₆Se_4/2]^6?)_n consisting of a system of edge‐sharing [B₁₀Se₁₆Se_4/2] adamantanoid macro‐tetrahedra forming large channels in which a strongly disorderd system of partial occupied Li⁺ cations and additional disordered Se^2? anions is observed. The crystal structure of the novel selenoborate is isotypic to Li_6+2x[B₁₀S₁₈]S_x (x ≈ 2) [1]. X‐ray and ⁷Li magic‐angle spinning NMR data suggest that the site occupancies of the three crystallographically distinct lithium ions exhibit a significant temperature dependence. The lithium ion mobility has been characterized by detailed temperature dependent NMR lineshape and spin‐lattice relaxation measurements.     

Novel luminescent metal-organic frameworks [Eu2L3(DMSO)2(MeOH)2] x 2 DMSO x 3 H2O and [Zn2L2(DMSO)2] x 1.6 H2O (L = 4,4'-ethyne-1,2-diyldibenzoate)

Novel metal-organic frameworks [Eu2L3(DMSO)2(MeOH)2] x 2 DMSO x 3 H2O, 1, and [Zn2L2(DMSO)2] x 1.6 H2O, 2, (L = 4,4'-ethyne-1,2-diyldibenzoate) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Compound 1 is a 3D open framework while 2 features interpenetrating 2D sheets in the crystal lattice. Both compounds have been characterized with X-ray crystallography, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 are red and blue-green luminescent, respectively, in the solid state at ambient temperature. Thermogravimetric analysis implies that the extensive interpenetration stabilizes the lattice of 2, although it diminishes the porosity at the same time. The luminescence of 1 can be reversibly quenched and restored by the addition and removal of iodine.     

Supramolecular spintronic devices: spin transitions and magnetostructural correlations in [Fe4IIL4]8+ [2x2]-grid-type complexes

The magnetism of a series of tetranuclear complexes of the [Fe4IIL4]8+ [2x2]-grid-type was investigated, revealing the occurrence of spin transition behavior within this class of compounds. The phenomenon depends directly on the nature of the substituent R(1) in the 2-position on the central pyrimidine group of the ligand L. All Fe(II) ions in compounds with R(1) substituents favoring strong ligand fields (R(1)=H; OH) remain completely in the diamagnetic low-spin state. Only complexes bearing R(1) substituents attenuating the ligand field by steric (and to a lesser extent electronic) effects (R(1)=Me; Ph) exhibit spin transition behavior triggered by temperature. In general, gradual and incomplete transitions without hysteresis were observed for magnetically active complexes. The systems described provide approaches to the development of (supra)molecular spintronics.

DFT study on [4+2] and [2+2] cycloadditions to [60] fullerene

The functionalisation of C₆₀ fullerene with 2,3-dimethylene-1,4-dioxane (I) and 2,5-dioxabicyclo [4.2.0]octa-1(8),6-diene (II) was investigated by the use of density functional theory calculations in terms of its energetic, structural, field emission, and electronic properties. The functionalisation of C₆₀ with I was previously reported experimentally. The I and II molecules are preferentially attached to a C—C bond shared and located between two hexagons of C₆₀ via [4+2] and [2+2] cycloadditions bearing reaction energies of ?15.9 kcal mol^?1 and ?72.4 kcal mol^?1, respectively. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap and work function of C₆₀ are significantly reduced following completion of the reactions. The field electron emission current of the C₆₀ surface will increase after functionalisation of either the I or II molecule.     

Zur Chemie des Kanemits [NaHSi2O5 · 3 H2O]x

On the Chemistry of Kanemite [NaHSi₂O₅ · 3 H₂O]_x Starting from δ-Na₂Si₂O₅ Kanemit was prepared by a direct exchange of Na⁺ by H⁺ in water containing reaction mixtures. By ²⁹Si-, ²³Na- and ¹H-MAS-NMR investigations Kanemit was characterized as a layersilicate [NaHSi₂O₅ · 3 H₂O]. By thermal treatment as well as by dehydration at room temperature under vacuum conditions a monohydrate is formed in which the layerstructure remains nearly unchanged. At temperatures between 100 and 110°C under normal conditions a hydrate phase of the composition [NaHSi₂O₅ · 0.25 H₂O]_x is prepared in which a changed silicate-layerstructure exists.
