Synthesis,Spectra,X-ray Diffraction and Thermal Studies of New Zn(Ⅱ) Compounds Based on Dibenzoylmethane

Two new zinc(Ⅱ) compounds with dibenzoylmethane and N-donor ancillary ligands,[Zn(μ-pyz)(dbm)_2]_n(1) and [Zn(dbm)_2(μ-bpe)Zn(dbm)_2](2)(Hdbm = dibenzoylmethane,pyz = pyrazine and bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane),have been prepared and characterized using elemental analysis,IR,~1H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy,and studied by thermal gravimetric analysis as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal and molecular structures of 1 and 2 have been solved by X-ray diffraction and they turned out to be a one-dimensional coordination polymer with linear dispositions of metal atoms and binuclear compound,respectively. These one-dimensional polymers are further connected to form a 3D supramolecular network by C–H···O(only in 2) and π-π interactions.     

Spectroscopic and theoretical investigation of the solvent effects on Al(III)–hydroxyflavone complexes

In methanol/water medium at pH 6, the chelation of Al(III) by three mono-site ligands: 3-hydroxyflavone, 5-hydroxyflavone and 3′4′-dihydroxyflavone has been studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy. A comparison of the results obtained for the three chelating sites shows that the α-hydroxy-carbonyl group presents the greatest affinity for Al(III). When the three sites are in competition within a single compound: the quercetin (Q) molecule, this site remains the preferential site for fixing the metal cation. Indeed, the combined use of electronic spectroscopy and TD-DFT calculations has allowed highlighting the formation of the species [Al(H₂O)(OH)Q₂]⁰ involving chelation with the α-hydroxy-carbonyl site. Comparisons with an Al(III) complexation experiment carried out in methanol solution show that whatever the ligand, the presence of water molecules in the medium decreases the amount of complex formed.     

A New Manganese(Ⅱ) Coordination Compound Constructed by 1,10-Phenanthroline Derivative and Chlorine Anions: Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Theoretical Calculation

The new manganese(Ⅱ) coordination compound, [Mn(Cl)_2(L)_2](1, L = 11-fluorodipyrido[3,2-a:2?,3?-c]phenazine), has been achieved under hydrothermal conditions. The structure of compound 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 8.419(2), b = 12.286(2), c = 28.451(6) ?, β = 95.889(3)°, V =2927.5(10) ?~3, Z = 4, C_(36) H_(16) MnF_2 Cl_2 N_8, M_r = 724.41, D_c = 1.644 g/cm~3, F(000) = 1460, μ(Mo Ka)= 0.691 mm~(-1), R = 0.0445 and wR = 0.0982. Adjacent compounds are stacked by one type of π-πinteraction among L ligands to generate a 1D supramolecular chain. Further, the 1D supramolecular chains are stacked by another type of π-π interaction among L ligands to give a 2D supramolecular layer. Moreover, the C-F···π interactions between the carbon atom of the L ligand and the pyrazine ring of the adjacent L ligand further stabilize the supramolecular layer of 1. In addition, natural bond orbital(NBO) analysis has been calculated by the B3LYP/LANL2DZ method, which shows obvious covalent interaction between the coordinated atoms and Mn(Ⅱ) ion.     

Infrared Spectroscopic and Gravimetric Studies on the Dicyclopentylaminemetal(II) Tetracyanonickellate(II) Host–Aromatic Guest Systems

The host complexes M(Cyclopentylamine)₂Ni(CN)₄ (M=Co or Cd) havebeen prepared in powder form. The spectral data suggest that the structures of thesecompounds are similar to those of the Hofmann-dma-type hosts. The absorptionand the liberation processes of the aromatic guests (benzene, toluene, 1,2-, 1,3-,1,4-dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dibromobenzene o-, m-, p-xylene, naphthalene)in these hosts have been examined at room temperature by gravimetric and spectroscopicmeasurements. The desorption of the benzene guest against time has been measured. Thehost structures do not change on inclusion and liberation of the guests. The host compoundshave been suggested as sorbents for isomeric separations.     

Studies on the Effect of Various Anions and Pyridine on the Stereochemistry of Lanthanide(III) Coordination Compounds of 4[N-(2′-Hydroxy-1′-Naphthalidene)Amino] Antipyrine Thiosemicarbazone

In the present studies, the effect of pyridine on stereochemistry of the coordination compounds of lanthanide(III) derived from 4[N-(2′-hydroxy-1′-naphthalidene)amino] antipyrine thiosemicarbazone (HNAAPTS) has been studied. The general composition of the present complexes is LnX₃·n(HNAAPTS)·Py (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, or Ho; X = NO₃, n = 1, x = Cl, NCS or ClO₄, n = 2, Py = pyridine). All the complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibilities, infrared and electronic spectral studies. The infrared studies reveal that the HNAAPTS behaves as a neutral tridentate (N, N, S), while pyridine is coordinated to metal ions via its nitrogen atom. Nitrates are bicovalently bonded, while thiocyanate is coordinated through a strong N-atom. Perchlorate ions are not coordinating in coordination sphere. From electronic spectral data, nephelauxetic effect (β), covalence factor (b^½), Sinha parameter (δ%), and the covalence angular overlap parameter (η) have been calculated. Thermal stabilities of these complexes were studied by thermogravimetric analysis. In conclusion, the coordination number of lanthanides(III) in the present compounds is either seven or ten depending on the coordinating anions.

New luminescent heteronuclear Ln(III)–Bi(III) complexes (Ln = Nd,Eu, Tb,Yb) based on aminopolycarboxylic acids

New heteronuclear Ln(III)–Bi(III) complexes (Ln?=?Nd, Eu, Tb, Yb, Lu) with ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic (H₄edta), trans-1,2-cyclohexane-diamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic (H₄cdta), diethylenetriamine-N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentaacetic (H₅dtpa), and triethylenetetraamine-N,N,N′,N″,N″′,N″′-hexaacetic (H₆ttha) acids have been synthesized with a different synthetic approach. Bi(III) is a sensitizer of the 4f-luminescence in visible and near IR region. Emission spectra of Eu(III)–Bi(III) complexes were studied and the asymmetry of Eu(III) coordination environment was estimated, in good agreement with molecular models. The complexes synthesized by self-assembly are characterized by higher values of the 4f-luminescence quantum yield than other Ln(III)–Bi(III) complexes.     

New luminescent oxygen-sensing and temperature-sensing materials based on gadolinium(III) and europium(III) complexes embedded in an acridone–polystyrene conjugate

New sensing materials have been developed which rely on the use of luminescent europium(III) and gadolinium(III) complexes with thenoylacetylacetonate embedded in an acridone–polystyrene conjugate. Acridone acts as an antenna which efficiently absorbs violet light. Covalent coupling to the polystyrene backbone prevents aggregation and enables very high antenna loading (16?% w/w). Energy transfer from the antenna to the lanthanide complexes results in efficient red luminescence from the Eu(III) complex or green phosphorescence originating from the Gd(III) chelate. The luminescence of the material based on the Eu(III) complex is only slightly affected by oxygen but is highly sensitive to temperature under physiological conditions (20–40?°C). The Gd(III) complex has long phosphorescence decay times of approximately 1?ms and high sensitivity to oxygen. Ultra-thin (250?nm) sensing layers with sufficient absorption at the excitation wavelength enable monitoring of rapid oxygen changes virtually in real time. Immobilization of both complexes in a single matrix results in a dual-luminescence material with emissions almost ideally matching the red and green channels of a digital camera. Thus, oxygen imaging using a very simple and inexpensive set-up can be realized. Additionally, the material can be used for simultaneous sensing of oxygen and temperature.

A carboxylate-bridged Cu(II)–Gd(III) complex, [GdCu(CH₂CH(CH₃COO)₄(H₂O)₄] _n (NO₃) _n , was prepared and characterized. Single crystal X-ray analysis reveals the complex as a carboxylate-bridged 1-D Cu(II)–Gd(III) coordination polymer. The magnetic measurement showed this complex exhibiting weak ferromagnetic behavior.     

Studies on Organo-Phosphorus, -Arsenic and -Antimony Polytungstates and Polymolybdates (Ⅶ)——Preparation and Properties of p-Aminophenylarsenic Polymolybdates

In order to investigate the influence of organic groups on the types of organoarsenic polymolybdates, the reations of p-aminophenylarsonic acid with sodium molybdate were tested at pH=3-5. Six salts were prepared and characterized. (1) (CN3H8)4 [(p-NH3C6H4As)2Mo6O25] · H2O, (2) (CN3H6)4 [(p-, NH3C6H4As )2Mo6O25 ] · 6H20, (3) Cs4 [(p-NH3C6H4As)2Mo6O25] · 4H2O, (4) C(CH3)4N]4[(p-NH3C6H4As)2Mo6O25] · 5H2O, (5) [(n-C4H9)4N]3Na[(p-NH3C6H4As)2Mo6O25] · 2H2O, (6) Ba2 NH3C6H4As)2Mo6O25] · 10H2O. The IR, UV spectra, and electrochemical behavior are reported and discussed. They should belong to the same type as that for phenyl derivative or the nitrophenyl derivatives. But the ammo groups can accept protons, so that the anion' s charge decreases. Very similar to the tungsten congener (CN3H6)4[(p-NH3C,H4As)2W6O25] · 4H2O, [(RAs)2Mo6O25]4- type of complexes are formed.     

Studies on Organo-Phosphorus, -Arsenic and -Antimony Polytungstates and Polymolybdates(IX )——Preparation and Properties of o-Aminophenylarsenic Polymolybdates

In order to investigate the influence of organic groups on the types of organoarsenic polymolybdates, o-nitrophenylarsonic acid was reduced to o- aminophenylarsonic acid and then it reacted with sodium molybdate at pH = 3~5. Three new salts were prepared and characterized:( 1 ) (CN3H6)4[(o-NH2C6H4As)2Mo6O24], ( 2 ) Cs4[(o-NH2C6H4As)2Mo6O24], (3) [(CH3)4N]4[(o-NH2C6H4As)2Mo6O24].2H2O. The IR, UV spectra, thermal properties and electrochemical behaviors are reported. It is strange enough that when the o-nitro group was reduced to o-amino group, [(RAs)2Mo6O24]4- type of complexes was formed.

In the crystal, a new kind of supramolecular interaction between the carbon atoms of the oxamido group of each [NiL] complex ligand in a [Cu(NiL)₂(H₂O)₂]^{2 +} cation and the oxygen atom of one of the ester carbonyls of another [Cu(NiL)₂(H₂O)₂]^{2 +} cation, and C—HO, O—HO and interactions are observed and link the trinuclear fragments and perchlorate ions to form a 3D supramolecular network.     

Aluminum(III) Cations [(NHC) ⋅ AlMes2]+: Synthesis,Characterization, and Application in FLP-Chemistry

The three-coordinate aluminum cations ligated by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) [(NHC) ⋅ AlMes₂]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ (NHC=IMe^Me 4 , IiPr^Me 5 , IiPr 6 , Mes=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) were prepared via hydride abstraction of the alanes (NHC) ⋅ AlHMes₂ (NHC=IMe^Me 1 , IiPr^Me 2 , IiPr 3 ) using [Ph₃C]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ in toluene as hydride acceptor. If this reaction was performed in diethyl ether, the corresponding four-coordinate aluminum etherate cations [(NHC) ⋅ AlMes₂(OEt₂)]⁺ [B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ 7 – 9 (NHC=IMe^Me 7 , IiPr^Me 8 , IiPr 9 ) were isolated. According to a theoretical and experimental assessment of the Lewis-acidity of the [(IMe^Me) ⋅ AlMes₂]⁺ cation is the acidity larger than that of B(C₆F₅)₃ and of similar magnitude as reported for Al(C₆F₅)₃. The reaction of [(IMe^Me) ⋅ AlMes₂]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ 4 with the sterically less demanding, basic phosphine PMe₃ afforded a mixed NHC/phosphine stabilized cation [(IMe^Me) ⋅ AlMes₂(PMe₃)]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ 10 . Equimolar mixtures of 4 and the sterically more demanding PCy₃ gave a frustrated Lewis-pair (FLP), i.e., [(IMe^Me) ⋅ AlMes₂]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻/PCy₃ FLP-11 , which reacts with small molecules such as CO₂, ethene, and 2-butyne.

We synthesized one novel Schiff-base ligand by modifying the aromatic aldehyde: H_2L~1(H_2L~1 = N,N?-bis(2-oxy-acetate-3-methoxyl)benzylpropylene(1,3-propane)diamine). [Ni(C_(23)H_(24)N_2O_8)]·6H_2O](1) was prepared by the reaction between H_2L~1 and NiCl_2·6H_2O in C_2H_5 OH. Compound 1 was structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR, H NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 1.3952(4), b = 1.3746(9), c = 1.6121(0) nm, β = 112.66(3)°, V = 2.8533(4) nm~3, Z = 4, M_r = 623.25 and D_c = 1.451 g·cm~(-3). The Ni(Ⅱ) atom is hexa-coordinated to furnish a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Lattice water molecules are found in 1, and the H-bonding intersections formed novel water clusters. The IR, antibacterial activity and luminescence of 1 are studied.     

Full Protection of Intensely Luminescent Gold(I)–Silver(I) Cluster by Phosphine Ligands and Inorganic Anions

An intensely luminescent gold(I)–silver(I) cluster [(C)(AuPPhpy₂)₆Ag₆(CF₃CO₂)₃](BF₄)₅ (PPhpy₂=bis(2-pyridyl)phenylphosphine) ( 3 ) is synthesized by the reaction of [(C)(AuPPhpy₂)₆Ag₄](BF₄)₆ with AgCF₃CO₂. All eight faces of the octahedral C@Au₆ core in 3 are capped, that is, six faces are capped by silver ions and two by tetrafluoroborates. Cluster 3 is intensely luminescent in solution with a quantum yield of 92 %. Ligation of CF₃CO₂⁻ ions is vital for the construction and emission properties of 3 , as confirmed by DFT calculations. BF₄⁻ ions are involved in the protecting sphere of the metal core, as evidenced by ¹⁹F NMR data. The participation of phosphines, CF₃CO₂⁻, and BF₄⁻ ions in the protection of the emissive core and the enhancement of the rigidity of the cluster result in the high emission efficiency. This is the first example of organic ligands and inorganic anions forming a rigid protecting sphere for luminescent coinage-metal clusters.

Much attention has been paid to the phosphorescent materials in recent years for their potential application as highly efficient electroluminescent (EL) emitters in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) 1-2. Heavy metal complexes, particularly those containing Pt and Ir, where strong spin orbit coupling leads to singlet-triplet state mixing, can result in high efficiency electrophosphorescence in OLED 3-5. Among the many kinds of metal complexes, iridium complexes are the most effective …
