Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structures of two divalent metal diphosphonates with a layered and a 3D network structure

Reactions of N-methyliminobis(methylenephosphonic acid), CH(3)N(CH(2)PO(3)H(2))(2) (H(4)L), with divalent metal acetates under different conditions result in metal diphosphonates with different structures. Mn(H(3)L)(2).2H(2)O (complex 1) with a layer structure was prepared by a layering technique. It is triclinic, P1 macro with a = 9.224(3) A, b = 9.780(3) A, c = 10.554(3) A, alpha = 82.009(6) degrees, beta = 74.356(6) degrees, gamma = 89.853(6) degrees, Z = 2. The Mn(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated by six phosphonate oxygen atoms from four ligands, two of them in a bidentate and two in a unidentate fashion. Each MnO(6) octahedron is further linked to four neighboring MnO(6) octahedra through four bridging phosphonate groups, resulting in a two-dimensional metal phosphonate (002) layer. These layers are held together by strong hydrogen bonds between uncoordinated phosphonate oxygen atoms. The zinc complex Zn(3)(HL)(2) (complex 2) was synthesized by hydrothermal reactions (4 days, 438 K, autogenous pressure). It is monoclinic, P2(1)/n with a = 7.7788(9) A, b = 17.025(2) A, c = 13.041(2) A, beta = 94.597(2) degrees, Z = 4. The structure of complex 2 features a 3D network built from ZnO(4) tetrahedra linked together by bridging phosphonate groups. Each zinc cation is tetrahedrally coordinated by four phosphonate oxygen atoms from four ligands, each of which connects with six zinc atoms, resulting in voids of various sizes. Magnetic measurements for the manganese complex shows an antiferromagnetic interaction at low temperature. The effect of the extent of deprotonation of phosphonic acids on the type of complex formed is discussed.     

Preparation and characterization of a new layered double hydroxide, Co-Zr-Si

The layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are nano-ordered layered compounds and well known for their ability to intercalate anionic compounds. Most LDH is prepared conventionally only with divalent and trivalent cations. In this study, Co-Zr-Si LDH, consisting of divalent, tetravalent, and tetravalent cations, was prepared and reacted with monocarboxylic acids at room temperature. The Co-Zr-Si LDH and intercalated compounds have been characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray powder diffraction, IR spectra, thermal analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The insertion of cyanate and carbonate anions into LDH was confirmed by IR spectra. XRD patterns of the prepared Co-Zr-Si LDH showed that the interlayer spacing of the LDH is 0.78 nm. The spacing is similar to that of usual LDH in which chloride, carbonate, or bromide anion is the guest. SEM images showed that Co-Zr-Si LDH can exist as plate-like or fibrous structures.     

Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structures of three new divalent metal carboxylate-sulfonates with a layered and one-dimensional structure

Hydrothermal reactions of 5-sulfoisophthalic acid (HO(3)SC(6)H(3)-1,3-(CO(2)H)(2), H(3)L) with M(II) carbonate (or oxide) and 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy) (or 2,2'-bipyridine, 2,2'-bipy) resulted in three new metal carboxylate-sulfonate hybrids, namely, [CdL(H-4,4'-bipy)] (1) and [Cd(3)L(2)(2,2-bipy)(4)(H(2)O)(2)].2H(2)O (2) with layered structures and [ZnL(H-4,4'-bipy)(H(2)O)].2H(2)O (3), whose structure features a one-dimensional double chain. The cadmium(II) ion in complex 1 is seven-coordinated by five carboxylate oxygen atoms and one sulfonate oxygen atom from four ligands and a unidentate 4,4'-bipyridine. The interconnection of the cadmium(II) ions through bridging carboxylate-sulfonate ligands resulted in the formation of a <002> double layer with the bipyridyl rings orientated toward the interlayer space. Complex 2 has a different layered structure. Cd(1) is seven-coordinated by two bidentate chelating carboxylate groups from two ligands, a bidentate chelating 2,2'-bipy and an aqua ligand, and Cd(2) is octahedrally coordinated by two bidentate chelating 2,2'-bipy's, a sulfonate oxygen, and an aqua ligand. The coordination geometry around Cd(3) is similar to that of Cd(1) with the aqua ligand being replaced by an oxygen atom from the sulfonate group. The carboxylate-sulfonate ligand acts as pentadentate ligand, bridging with three cadmium(II) ions. The bridging of cadmium(II) ions through the carboxylate-sulfonate ligands resulted in the formation of <006> and <003> layers; the 2,2'-bipy molecules and [Cd(2)(2,2'-bipy)(2)(H(2)O)] cations are orientated to the interlayer space. Complex 3 features a 1D metal carboxylate-sulfonate double chain along the diagonal of the a- and b-axes. The zinc(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated by four carboxylate O atoms from three ligands, a unidentate 4,4'-bipy, and an aqua ligand. Each pair of zinc(II) ions is bridged by two carboxylate groups from two ligands to form a dimer, and such dimeric units are interconnected by bridging ligands to form a double chain. The sulfonate group of the carboxylate sulfonate ligand remains noncoordinated and forms a number of hydrogen bonds with aqua ligands as well as lattice water molecules.

In that case, higher activity was attained at 60 °C. The viscosity-average molecular weights of the polyethylene’s decreases with increasing Al/Zr molar ratio.     

Preparation and characterization of zirconium titanate fibers with good high temperature performance

Zirconium titanate (ZT) precursor fibers were prepared via sol–gel technique by dry-spinning method using polyacetylacetonatozirconium (PAZ) and tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT) as starting materials. PAZ and TBOT were added into methanol with vigorous stirring at room temperature for 2 h and mixed together homogenously. The mixture came into being a new and complicated polymerization system, and PAZ and TBOT were connected through –O– bridge forming the –O–Zr–O–Ti–O– linear chains. The evolutions from the precursor fibers to polycrystalline oxide fibers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) and thermal gravimetry/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The surface of the ZT fibers was smooth, dense in cross-section without cracks by scanning electronic spectroscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). The size of the nanocrystals was less than 50 nm and arranged compactly by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The fibriform was still kept and the size of the grains was up to 400–500 nm due to the grain growth with increasing temperature and the ZT fibers were with good high temperature performance.

Reactions of lead(II) acetate with m-aminobenzenesulfonic acid (HL¹) and 5-sulfoisophthalic acid (H₃L²) afforded two new lead(II) sulfonates, Pb(L¹)₂1 and Pb₂(L²)(μ₃-OH)(H₂O) 2. In compound 1, the lead(II) ion is eight-coordinated by two sulfonate groups bidentately, two sulfonate groups unidentately and two amino groups from six ligands. Each L¹ ligand is tetradentate and bridges with three Pb(II) ions. The interconnection of the Pb(II) ions via bridging sulfonate ligands resulted in 〈100〉 and 〈200〉 layers. In compound 2, one Pb(II) ion is six-coordinated by a carboxylate group bidentately, by two carboxylate groups unidentately, by a sulfonate oxygen atom and by an OH anion, whereas the other one is six-coordinated by a bidentate chelating carboxylate group, two μ₃-OH anions, a sulfonate oxygen atom and an aqua ligand. The interconnection of irregular PbO₆ polyhedra via carboxylate-sulfonate ligands resulted in the formation of a pillared layered structure with the 2D layer being formed; the lead(II) ions, hydroxyl groups, carboxylate and sulfonate groups and the benzene ring as the pillar agent.     

Synthesis, morphology, structure, and magnetic characterization of layered cobalt hydroxyisocyanates

New layered pink cobalt hydroxyisocyanates have been prepared by controlled hydrolysis of aqueous solutions of CoCl2.6H2O. Co(OH)(1.4)(NCO) 0.6.0.6H 2O ( 1) is formed when urea is used as the hydrolysis agent and mannitol as the stabilizer, while Co(OH)(1.25)(NCO)(0.75).0.2H2O ( 2) is formed when the hydrolysis agent is changed to hexamethylenetetramine and NaOCN is added to the solution. IR spectroscopy of 1 and 2 indicates that the OCN (-) is N-bonded to Co (2+). The X-ray powder data for 1 could be indexed using an intergrowth model consisting of both rhombohedral ( R3 m (166); a = 3.2031(1) A, c = 23.6876(11) A, hydrotalcite-like, 3 R 1) and hexagonal ( P 63/ mmc (194); a = 3.2005(2) A, c = 15.8303(5) A, Manasseite-like, 2H1) polytypes. Rietveld refinement of the X-ray powder data was performed using a two polytype model and 30% random substitution of the OH (-) ions by OCN (-). Although it is less crystalline, the XRD data for 2 can be indexed using a rhombohedral-symmetry cell with unit cell parameters, a = 3.158 A and c = 21.57 A. Both 1 and 2 exhibit magnetically ordered ground states with a saturation magnetization of ca. 2.0 mu B. The magnetization data is consistent with 3D ferromagnetic ordering of edge-share octahedral-Co (2+) layers with effective spin S' = 1/2.

ZrCl₄ reacts with the potassium salt of the bifunctional tridentate Schiff base HOC₆H₄C(H)=NCH₂CH(Me)OH (LH₂) in a 1:1 molar ratio in benzene to give a new complex Zr(L)Cl₂ which, on reaction with different potassium isopropoxymetallates [e.g., KAl(OPr ⁱ )₄, KTi(OPr ⁱ )₅, and KNb(OPr ⁱ )₆], yield novel heterobimetallic derivatives. These new homo and heteronuclear coordination compounds have been characterized by elemental (N, Cl, Al, Ti, and Nb) analyses, molecular weight (ebullioscopic) measurements and spectral [i.r., n.m.r. (¹H, ¹³C and ²⁷Al)] studies and probable structures for them have been suggested.     

Synthesis, characterization and intercalation property of layered zirconium benzylamino-N,N-dimethylphosphonate phosphate materials

Layered zirconium benzylamino-N,N-dimethylphosphonate phosphate (ZBMPA) was prepared by the reaction of zirconyl chloride with benzylamino-N,N-dimethylphosphonic acid (H₂BMPA) and phosphoric acid in the presence of hydrofluoric acid. The intercalation of n-alkylamines (n-butylamine, n-heptylamine and n-decylamine) into ZBMPA was primarily investigated at room temperature. These materials were characterized by elemental analysis, ICP, XRD, SEM, FT-IR, Raman spectra, TG and DSC. The composition of ZBMPA is Zr(HPO₄)(C₆H₅CH₂N(CH₂PO₃)₂)_0.5 · 2.0H₂O. The interlayer distance of ZBMPA, n-butylamine, n-heptylamine and n-decylamine intercalation compounds is 2.03, 2.58, 2.52 and 3.17 nm, respectively. ZBMPA and the n-alkylamine intercalation compounds are different in the morphology and vibration spectra. Thermogravimetries of all materials obtained reveal three step mass losses at temperatures of up to 1000 °C. These results indicate that n-alkylamines are intercalated into the galleries of host ZBMPA.
