Novel Dinuclear Tin(II) and Lead(II) Compounds with 2‐Pyridyl Functionalized Silylamido Ligands

Treatment of R₂SiCl₂ (R = Me, Ph) with 2‐aminopyridine in the presence of NEt₃ led to the formation of the bis(N‐2‐pyridylamino)silanes R₂Si{NH(2‐Py)}₂, which were isolated as pale yellow solids. Crystal structure analyses revealed that both compounds exhibit tetrahedrally coordinated silicon atoms which are linked to two 2‐pyridylamido moieties and two organyl groups (Me or Ph). As a result of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the NH groups and the pyridyl N atoms the R₂Si{NH(2‐Py)}₂ molecules are catenated in the solid state. Treatment of R₂Si{NH(2‐Py)}₂ with nBuLi afforded the corresponding amides R₂Si{NLi(2‐Py)}₂, which were subsequently reacted with MCl₂ (M = Sn, Pb) to give the dinuclear silylamides [{R₂Si(N‐2‐Py)₂M}₂]. Both the tin and the lead derivatives exhibit closely related molecular structures, in which the tin (or lead) atoms are linked to two amido N atoms and a pyridyl N atom in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination mode.

A new copper(II) phosphonatobenzenesulfonate incorporating 4,4′‐bipyridine (4,4′‐bipy) as auxiliary ligand has been discovered through systematic high‐throughput (HT) screening of the system Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O/H₂O₃PC₆H₄SO₃H/4,4′‐bipy using different solvents. The hydrothermal synthesis of [Cu(HO₃PC₆H₄SO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)]·H₂O ( 1 ) was further optimized by screening various copper(II) salts. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and unveiled the presence of isolated sixfold coordinated Jahn–Teller‐distorted Cu²⁺ ions. The isolated CuN₂O₄ octahedra are interconnected by phosphonate and sulfonate groups to form chains along the c‐axis. The organic groups, namely phenyl rings and 4,4′‐bipy molecules cross‐link the chains into a three‐dimensional framework. Water molecules are found in the narrow voids in the structure which are held by weak hydrogen bonds. Upon dehydration, the structure of 1 undergoes a phase transition, which was confirmed by TG measurements and temperature dependent X‐ray powder diffraction.

First Coordination Polymer of 1,4‐Dihydro‐2,3‐Quinoxalinedione in Ketoamine Tautomeric Form

The first coordination compound of 1,4‐dihydro‐2,3‐quinoxalinedione in ketoamine tautomeric form (denoted as H₂qdione) was reported. H₂qdione was obtained by a solid‐state reaction of o‐phenylenediamine and oxalic acid. Reaction of this ligand with CdCl₂ solvothermally yielded a coordination polymer [Cd(H₂qdione)Cl₂]_n, which was structurally characterized by X‐ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Continuous Cd₂Cl₂ diamonds form a double‐sided comb with terminal H₂qdione‐κ²O,O′ as the comb teeth. Interaction of these combs through very extensive π–π stacking, C–H ··· Cl, and N–H ··· Cl hydrogen bonds leads to a novel 3D architecture and significant enhancement of solid‐state luminescence of about 10 times compared to the free H₂qdione ligand.
