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 …     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, UV-vis and EPR Studies of（ NH3CH2CH2NH2 ） 2.5 [ Mo0.5^（V）W0.5^（VI）O2 （ OC6H4O ） 2]

Cis-dioxo-metal complex ( NH3CH2CH2NH2 ) 2.5 [ Mo0.5^(V)W0.5^(VI)O2 ( OC6H4O ) 2] 1 was obtained by the reaction of tetra-butyl ammonium hexamolybdotungstate with 1, 2-dihydroxybenzene in the mixed solvent of CH3OH, CH3CN and ethylenediamine,and characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis and EPR analysis. Compared with its analogous complexes (NH3CH2CH2NH2)3[Mo^(V)O2(OC6H40)2] 2 and (NH3CH2CH2NH2)2[W^(VI)O2(OC6H4O)2] 3, the results show that tungsten(VI) is less active in redox than molybdenum (VI) and that the change of the valence induced by substitution of W(VI) for Mo(V) in EMO2(OC6H40)2]n- does not influence the coordination geometry of the complex anion in which the metal center exhibits distorted octahedral coordination with cis-dioxo catechol. The responses to EPR of complexes 1 and 2 are active but complex 3 is silent,and the UV-vis spectra exhibited by the three complexes are obvious different because of the different electronic configuration between the central Mo(V) and W(VI) ions in the complexes.It is noteworthy that complexes 1 and 2 have the similar EPR signal to flavoenzyme, suggesting that the three complexes have the same coordination geometry feature with the co-factor of flavoenzyme.

Crystal Structure of catena-[（Tetrakis-μ2-acetato-μ2-4,4＇-bipyridine） dicopper（Ⅱ）] Acetonitrile Solvate

1 INTRODUCTION Much attention has been paid to 1D, 2D and 3D coordination polymers because they can meet the need of functional materials with desired structures and properties[1～5]. One strategy in the design and synthesis of coordination architectures is the buil- ding-block approach. Commonly, bi- or multidentate organic ligands containing N[6, 7] or O[8, 9] atoms have ever been used in the construction. In our cur- rent work, we have selected melamine ligand as the main building bl…     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Tetrakis（4—methylpyridine）bis（μ4—pentathio）—tetracopper（Ⅰ）（4—methylpyridine）solvate

The coordination chemistry of Cu(Ⅰ) has been studied extensively owing to the importance of Cu(Ⅰ) in biological systems and copper-sulfur bonds detected in some metallopro- teins[1]. More recently, remarkably rich photoluminescence properties have been found in the tetranuclear complexes[2～5] and the cage-ty…     

Synthesis,Characterization, and DNA Binding Properties of Dinuclear Copper（Ⅱ） Complex [Cu2（TATP）2（L-Leu）2（CIO4）2]2·2H2O

A dinuclear copper（Ⅱ） complex[Cu2（TATP）2（L-Leu）2（CIO4）2]2·2H2Owas synthesized and characterized, where, TATP=1,4,8,9-tetraazatriphenylene, and L-Leu=L-leucinate. The complex was crystallized in the triclinic space group P1, with two independent molecules in a unit cell. Two Cu（Ⅱ） ions in each complex [Cu2（TATP）2（L-Leu）2（CIO4）2] molecule were found to be in different coordination geometries, i.e., Cu2 or Cu4 of a distorted square-pyramidal geometry coordinated with two nitrogens of TATP, the amino nitrogen and one carboxylate oxygen of L-Leu and one oxygen of perchlorate, and Cul or Cu3 with an octahedral geometry coordinated with the above stated similar coordinated atoms, and another carboxylate oxygen of L-Leu coordinating to Cu2 or Cu4. The complex can interact with CT-DNA by an intercalative mode and cleave pBR322 DNA in the presence of ascorbate.

Hydrothermal treatment of MCl2(M=Co or Cu), NH4VO3, and 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione(pdon) resulted in the formation of a duplex coordination polymer [Co(bpdc)(H2O)3]·H2O(bpdc=2,2′-bipyridine-3,3′-dicarboxylate) and a chain-like coordination polymer [Cu(bpy)V2O6](bpy=2,2′-bipyridine). X-ray single-crystal structural analysis shows that under hydrothermal conditions and in the presence of different transition metals, the organic reagent pdon was transformed in situ into bpdc and bpy, respectively. Mechanism of the in situ ligand synthesis reaction has been discussed.

Reaction of COC12.6H20 with equimolar bis（3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl）methane （dmpzm） produced a mononuclear adduct [Co（dmpzm）Cl2] （1）. Treatment of 1 with sodium dicyanamide （dca） afforded a polymeric complex [Co（dmpzm）（μ-dca）2]∞ （2）. 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The cobalt atom in 1 adopts a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, bound to two N atoms of one dmpzm and two Cl atoms. Complex 2 has a 2D brick-wall network （extended along the bc plane） in which the { [Co（dmpzm）（μ-dca）]2} n^2n＋ chains are interconnected by pairs of μ-dca anions along the c axis. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 were also investigated.

The crystal structure of [CoCl ( C7H5N2CH2COPh)4] Br has been determined by means of X-ray crystallography. The molecular structure consists of a discrete [CoCl ( C7H5N2CH2COPh)4] ^ cation and one Br^- anion, in the [CoCl ( C7H5N2CH2COPh)4]^ cation, the coordination geometry of the central Co atom is square-pyramidal with four tertiary N atoms of benzimidazole from four α-( benzimidazol-1-yl) -hypnone ligands in the basal position and one chloride anion in the apical position. In the solid state, [CoCl ( C7H5N2CH2COPh)4]^ and Br^- anion possess intermolecular and intramolecular interactions, which stabilize the crystal structure. The characterization of the title compound were also carried out by using elemeutal analysis, FTIR, UV spectrometries and TG-DSC.     

Enamine Configuration of 5-Methyl-2-phenyl-4-[（Z）-3-tolylamino-phenylmethylene]pyrazol-3（2H）-one

1 INTRODUCTION In contrast to the old-line academic and practical studies of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazo- lone (PMBP) on the metal coordination chemistry[1], the complexes of β-ketoamines derivated from PMBP received little attention due to its complicated com- plexation. However, in recent years, there has a sudden growth of this area as a result of its timely interest in biological activities[2]. Recently, a series of β-ketoamines[3] containing PMBP have been prepared fro…     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of [Mn（sapn）（H2O）2]Br

1 INTRODUCTION Many of the recent advances in the coordination chemistry of manganese have been driven by the involvement of the manganese in several biological redox-active systems[1,2], of which the most important is the oxygen-evolving complex (EOC) of photosystem II (PS II) in green plants [3]. Since the preparations and structural characterizations of the complexes containing N,O-donor ligands have been studied extensively as simple active-site models for the photosystem II[4,5]…     

Ring-opening Copolymerization of Cyclohexene Oxide and Maleic Anhydride Catalyzed by Mononuclear [Zn（L）（H2O）] or Binuclear [Zn2（L）（OAc）2（H2O）] Complex Based on the Salen-type Schiff-base Ligand

From the self-assembly of the typical Salen-type Schiff-base ligand H2L and Zn(OAc)2·2H2O in the molar ratio of 1:1 or 1:2, the mononuclear [Zn(L)(H2O)](1) or binuclear [Zn2(L)(OAc)2(H2O)](2) are obtained, respectively. For both complexes 1 and 2, the unsaturated five-coordinate coordination environment to the catalytic active centers(Zn2+ ions) permits the monomer insertion for the effective solution copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and maleic anhydride. All the solution copolymerizations afford poly(ester-co-ether)s, while lower catalyst and co-catalyst concentrations are helpful for the formation of alternating polyester. Of the three co-catalysts, 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine is found to be the most efficient, while an excess thereof is detrimental for chain growth of the copolymers.

Ferroelectricity based on coordination compound： Transition metal Co（Ⅱ） sulfates templated by homochiral 2-methylpiperazine （C5H14N2）[ Co（H2O）6]（SO4）2

Reacting homochiral （R）-2-methylpiperazine with cobalt sulfate heptahydrate by the solution method in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid （H2SO4） yielded two coordination compounds （C5H14N2） [CO（H2O）6]（SO4）2 （1 and 2）. They are polymorphs, but their hydrogen bonds structure differ significantly. Both 1 and 2 crystallize in chiral space group P21 which is related with point group C2, and experimental results suggest that 1 displays ferroelectric behaviors.
