Mössbauer investigation of the photoexcited spin states and crystal structure analysis of the spin-crossover dinuclear complex [{Fe(bt)(NCS)(2)}(2)bpym] (bt=2,2'-bithiazoline, bpym=2,2'-bipyrimidine)

The crystal structure of the complex [{Fe(bt)(NCS)(2)}(2)bpym] (1) (bt=2,2'-bithiazoline, bpym=2,2'-bipyrimidine) has been solved at 293, 240, 175 and 30 K. At all four temperatures the crystal remains in the P space group with a=8.7601(17), b=9.450(2), c=12.089(3) A, alpha=72.77(2), beta=79.150(19), gamma=66.392(18) degrees , V=873.1(4) Angstrom(3) (data for 293 K structure). The structure consists of centrosymmetric dinuclear units in which each iron(II) atom is coordinated by two NCS(-) ions in the cis position and two nitrogen atoms of the bridging bpym ligand, with the remaining positions occupied by the peripheral bt ligand. The iron atom is in a severely distorted octahedral FeN(6) environment. The average Fe--N bond length of 2.15(9) Angstrom indicates that compound 1 is in the high-spin state (HS-HS) at 293 K. Crystal structure determinations at 240, 175 and 30 K gave a cell comparable to that seen at 293 K, but reduced in volume. At 30 K, the average Fe--N distance is 1.958(4) Angstrom, showing that the structure is clearly low spin (LS-LS). At 175 K the average Fe--N bond length of 2.052(11) Angstrom suggests that there is an intermediate phase. M?ssbauer investigations of the light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) effect (lambda=514 nm, 25 mW cm(-2)) in 1 (4.2 K, H(ext)=50 kOe) show that the excited spin states correspond to the HS-HS and HS-LS pairs. The dynamics of the relaxation of the photoexcited states studied at 4.2 K and H(ext)=50 kOe demonstrate that HS-HS pairs revert with time to both HS-LS and LS-LS configurations. The HS-LS photoexcited pairs relax with time back to the ground LS-LS configuration. Complex [{Fe(0.15)Zn(0.85)(bt)(NCS)(2)}(2)bpym] (2) exhibits a continuous spin transition centred around 158 K in contrast to the two-step transition observed for 1. The different spin-crossover behaviour observed for 2 is due to the decrease of cooperativity (intermolecular interactions) imposed by the matrix of Zn(II) ions. This clearly demonstrates the role of the intermolecular interactions in the stabilization of the HS-LS intermediate state in 1.     

First dicyanamide-bridged spin-crossover coordination polymer: synthesis, structural, magnetic, and spectroscopic studies

We report here on the synthesis and characterisation of a first iron(II) spin-crossover coordination polymer with the dca spacer ligand, having the formula [Fe(aqin)2(dca)]ClO4.MeOH (aqin=8-aminoquinoline, dca=dicyanamide), which displays a two-step complete spin transition. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements and M?ssbauer spectroscopy have revealed that the two relatively gradual steps are centred at 215 and 186 K and are separated by an inflection point at about 201 K, at which 50 % of the complex molecules undergo a spin transition. The two steps are related to the existence of two crystallographically inequivalent metal sites, as confirmed by the structural and M?ssbauer studies. The crystal structure was resolved at 293 K (HS form) and 130 K (LS form). Both spin-state structures belong to the triclinic P1 space group (Z=2). The complex assumes a linear chain structure, in which the active iron(II) sites are linked to each other by anionic dicyanamide ligands acting as chemical bridges. The Fe-Fe distances through the dca ligand are 8.119(1) and 7.835(1) A in the high-spin and low-spin structures, respectively. The polymeric chains extend along a (1, 0, -1) axis and are packed in sheets, between which the perchlorate anions and methanol molecules are inserted. The complex molecules are linked together by pi-stacking interactions and H-bonding between the H-donor aqin ligands and the perchlorate ions. These structural features provide a basis for cooperative interactions in the crystal lattice. Analysis of the two-step spin-crossover character in this compound suggests that covalent interactions through the spacer ligand do not provide the main mechanism of cooperativity.     

Pressure effect and crystal structure reinvestigations on the spin crossover system: [Fe(bt)2(NCS)2] (bt = 2,2'-bithiazoline) polymorphs A and B

The crystal structure of [Fe(bt)2(NCS)2] (A) was determined by X-ray diffraction at 293 and at 150 K in order to analyze the structural changes associated with the spin transition. The space group is P1 with Z = 2 at both temperatures. Lattice constants are as follows: a = 8.5240(4), b = 11.0730(6), c = 12.5300(8) at 293 K and a = 8.1490(4), b = 11.4390(5), c = 12.1270(6) at 150 K. The iron(II) atom lies at the center of a distorted [FeN6] defined by two bt ligands arranged in a cis conformation. The two remaining coordination positions are occupied by two isothiocyanate anions. The average bond lengths of 2.159(4) A (293 K) and 1.951(2) A (150 K) clearly indicate the change in spin configuration. The trigonal distortion parameter phi has a value of 9.6 degrees and 5.5 degrees at 293 and 150 K, respectively. For A, DeltaV = DeltaV(SCO) = 28 A(3) per formula unit and is accompanied by a hysteresis of 10 K. chi(M)T vs T curves at atmospheric pressure for A show an abrupt spin transition with Tc downward arrow = 176 K and Tc upward arrow = 187 K. The thermodynamic parameters associated with the spin transition are DeltaH = 8.4 +/- 0.4 kJ mol(-1) and DeltaS = 46.5 +/- 3 J K mol(-1). The thermal dependence of the magnetic susceptibility at different pressures, 0.1-0.91 GPa, points out an unusual behavior, which can only be understood in terms of a crystallographic phase transition or a change in the bulk modulus of the complex. Polymorph B crystallizes in the C2/c space group with an average Fe-N bond length of 2.168(2) A and phi = 14.7 degrees at 293 K. B remains in the HS configuration even at pressures of 1.06 GPa.

Phase transitions in A4Li(HSO4)3(SO4); A = Rb, K: Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies

The crystal structure of ferroelastic Rb₄Li(HSO₄)₃(SO₄) has been determined at two temperatures, which indicates a structural phase transition, tetragonal P4₃ witha = 7.629(1) ?,c = 29.497(2) ? at 293 K and monoclinic P2₁ witha = 7.583(3) ?,b = 29.230(19) ?,c = 7.536(5) ?,β = 90.14(1)° at 90 K. The crystal structure of K₄Li(HSO₄)₃(SO₄)₄ has also been determined at two temperatures, tetragonalP4₁ witha = 7.405(1) ?,c = 28.712(6) ? at 293 K and tetragonalP4₁ witha = 7.371(5) ?,c = 28.522(5) ? at 100 K. The overall coordination features in both the structures have been analysed in terms of bond valence sum calculations. Dedicated to Professor C N R Rao on his 70th birthday     

Disordered CuN(6) Jahn-Teller Centers in Hexakis(1-methyltetrazole)copper(II) Tetrafluoroborate: A Temperature-Dependent X-ray Diffraction and EPR Study

The influence of the molecular crystalline arrangement upon the state of a Jahn-Teller-active center has been investigated in crystals of the complex Cu(mtz)(6)(BF(4))(2), where mtz = 1-methyltetrazole. Crystal structures at 293, 123, and 93 K were determined by X-ray diffraction for the copper complex and at 293 and 100 K also for the analogous zinc complex, Zn(mtz)(6)(BF(4))(2). The respective lattice parameters for the copper complex at 293, 123, and 93 K are as follows: a = 18.137(4), 17.597(4), 17.575(4) ?; b = 10.247(4), 10.131(4), 10.133(4); c = 18.446(5), 18.531(4), 18.535(4) ?; beta = 112.62(2), 113.55(2), 113.61(2) degrees. Those for the zinc complexes at 293 and 100 K, respectively, are as follows: a = 18.153(2), 17.663(2) ?; b = 10.289(1), 10.159(2) ?; c = 18.506(3), 18.578(3) ?; beta = 113.21(1), 114.15(2) degrees. The crystal system is monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n (Z = 4), for all crystals with two crystallographically inequivalent pairs of centrosymmetric molecules, M(mtz)(6)(BF(4))(2), in the unit cell. The two inequivalent Cu(mtz)(6)(2+) complexes, Cu(A) and Cu(B), both exhibit Jahn-Teller distortions, but in different ways, the Cu-N distances for the unit on site A being 2.015(4), 2.031(5), and 2.384(5) ? at 93 K, while those for the unit on site B are 2.053(5), 2.126(5), and 2.204(5) ?. However, the Jahn-Teller radii of the two complexes, as calculated from the metal-ligand distances and the U tensors of the two CuN(6) units, were both found to be 0.41(3) ?. EPR experiments at room temperature on polycrystalline samples of the pure copper compound and of the copper-doped zinc compound confirm the presence of two different Jahn-Teller centers; both complexes are rapidly pulsating, but the CuN(6) units on site A are confined predominantly to one potential well of the warped Mexican hat potential, whereas the CuN(6) units on site B have density in all three wells. At 78 K, however, the spectrum of the polycrystalline material is consistent with a single site having an axial g tensor with maximum anisotropy (g( parallel) = 2.300(5), g( perpendicular) = 2.068(5)). While the low-temperature X-ray results also indicate a structure in which the Cu(A) center is exclusively populated in one potential well, the U tensor and potential well population data for the Cu(B) centers indicate that at 93 K a nonpulsating averaged structure based on tetragonally elongated CuN(6) units is being observed. The more pronounced preference for the CuN(6) octahedron on site A to show elongation in one specific direction, in contrast to that on the B site, appears to be due to the differing impacts of the local-site strains at the two distinct centers of symmetry, and a simple model for evaluating a crystal "packing" strain from the bond length data for the isomorphous zinc complex is described.     

Thermal- and pressure-induced cooperative spin transition in the 2D and 3D coordination polymers {Fe(5-Br-pmd)z[M(CN)x]y} (M=AgI, AuI, NiII, PdII, PtII)

A new family of cyanide-based spin-crossover polymers with the general formula {Fe(5-Br-pmd)z[M(CN)x]y} [M=AgI (1), AuI (2), NiII (3), PdII (4), PtII (5); 5-Br-pmd=5-bromopyrimidine; z=1 or 2, x=2 or 4, and y=2 or 1] have been synthesized and characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), magnetic susceptibility measurements, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). At 293 K, compound 1 presents the monoclinic space group C2/c, whereas at 120 K, it changes to the monoclinic space group P21/c. At 293 K, the crystal structure of 1 displays an uninodal three-dimensional network whose nodes, constituted of FeII, lie at the inversion center of an elongated octahedron. The equatorial bond lengths are defined by the N atoms of four [AgI(CN)2]- groups belonging to two crystallographically nonequivalent AgI atoms, Ag(1) and Ag(2). They are shorter than those of the axial positions occupied by the N atoms of the 5-Br-pmd ligands. The Fe-N average bond length of 2.1657(7) A is consistent with a high-spin (HS) state for the FeII ions. At 120 K, the crystal structure changes refer mainly to the FeII environment. There are two crystallographically independent FeII ions at this temperature, Fe(1) and Fe(2), which adopt the HS and low-spin (LS) states, respectively. The average Fe-N bond length for Fe(1) [2.174(5) A] and Fe(2) [1.955(5) A] agrees well with the reported magnetic data at this temperature. The spin transition of the FeII ions labeled as Fe(1) is found to be centered at Tc downward arrow=149 K and Tc upward arrow=167 K and accompanied by a drastic change of color from orange (HS) to red (LS). Magnetic susceptibility measurements under applied hydrostatic pressure performed on 1 have shown a linear displacement of the transition to higher temperatures while the hysteresis width remains unaltered in the interval of pressures of 105 Pa to 0.34 GPa. A further increase of the pressure induces the spin transition in the Fe(2) ions, which is completely accomplished at 1.12 GPa (T1/2=162 K). Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural, but 2 does not exhibit spin-transition properties; the FeII centers remain in the HS state in the temperature range investigated, 5-300 K. Compounds 3-5 are not similar or isostructural with 1. A two-dimensional structure for 3-5 has been proposed on the basis of analytical data and the XRPD patterns. Compounds 3-5 undergo first-order spin transition where the critical temperatures for the cooling (Tc downward arrow) and warming (Tc upward arrow) modes are 170 and 180 K (3), 204 and 214 K (4), and 197 and 223 K (5), respectively. It is worth mentioning the color change from yellow to orange observed in 3-5 upon spin transition. The thermodynamic parameters associated with the spin transition estimated from DSC measurements are DeltaH=6 kJ mol(-1) (1), 11 kJ mol(-1) (3), 16 kJ mol(-1) (4), and 16 kJ mol(-1) (5) and DeltaS=38 J K(-1) mol(-1) (1), 62 J K(-1) mol(-1) (3), 76 J K-1 mol(-1) (4), and 81 J K(-1) mol(-1) (5).     

Synthesis, structural characterization, and biological studies of six- and five-coordinate organotin(IV) complexes with the thioamides 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, 5-chloro-2-mercaptobenzothiazole, and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole

Organotin(IV) complexes with the formulas [(C6H5)3Sn(mbzt)] (1), [(C6H5)3Sn(cmbzt)] (3), and [(C6H5)2Sn(cmbzt)2] (4) (Hmbzt = 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and Hcmbzt = 5-chloro-2-mercaptobenzothiazole) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis; FT-IR, Raman, 1H, 13C, and 119Sn NMR, and M?ssbauer spectroscopic techniques; and X-ray crystallography at various temperatures. The crystal structures of complexes 1, 3, and 4 were determined by X-ray diffraction at room temperature [295(1) or 293(2) K]. The complexes [(C6H5)3Sn(mbzo)] (2) and [(n-C4H9)2Sn(cmbzt)2] (5) (Hmbzo = 2-mercaptobenzoxazole) were synthesized by new improved methods, and their structures were determined at low temperature [100(1) K] and compared to those solved at room temperature. Comparison with {(CH3)2Sn(cmbzt)2]} (6), already reported, was also attempted. The influence of temperature on the geometry of the complexes is discussed. In the cases of complexes 1-3, three carbon atoms from phenyl groups and one sulfur atom and one nitrogen atom from thione ligands form a tetrahedrally distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry around the five-coordinate tin(IV) ion. In complexes 4-6, two carbon atoms from aryl groups and two sulfur atoms and two nitrogen atoms from thione ligands form a distorted tetrahedral geometry, tending toward octahedral, around the six-coordinate tin(IV) ions, with trans-C2, cis-N2, and cis-S2 configurations. Although the C-Sn and S-Sn bond distances are found to be constant in compounds 1-6, their N-Sn bond lengths vary significantly (from 2.635 to 3.078 A), with the longer distances found in the cases of five-coordinate complexes 1-3.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,4-Bis(2-hydroxymethylphenyl)-1,4-dioxabutane

1 INTRODUCTION Macrocyclic ligands and their metal complexes have received much attention due to their applications in ion transport, ion separation and as models in biomimic researches[1~7]. The synthetic methods of macrocyclic ligands and their metal complexes are mainly divided into three kinds[8]. The first one is synthesizing free ligand, then forming the metal complexes; the second is template synthesis; and the third is synthesizing the end-off or side-off precursor ligand, then c…     

A linear trinuclear complex of copper(II) with N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzelidene)-1,3-diiminopropane

The synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of a linear phenolate-bridged Cu(II) complex 1 with a Cu–Cu bond distance of 2.9260(5)?Å is reported. The complex consists of three Cu(II) ions with two molecules of the N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzelidene)-l,3-diiminopropane ligand and two nitrate ions in such a manner that one ligand is connected with two Cu(II) ions. The complex is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, with a?=?10.6305(5), b?=?13.0719(7), c?=?14.6336(8)?Å and β?=?102.549(1)° at 293?K, Z?=?2. The structure shows deprotonation of the phenolate oxygen to form a μ₂ bridge. The magnetic moment (1.627 BM per Cu₃ unit) at 300?K reveals that the spin doublet state is the ground state.     

4‐Vinyl­benzoic acid and 9‐vinyl­anthracene

The crystal structures of two styrene analogues, 4‐vinyl­benzoic acid, C₉H₈O₂, (I), and 9‐vinyl­anthracene, C₁₆H₁₂, (II), were determined by X‐ray analyses at 108 and 293 K for (I) and at 123 and 293 K for (II). In (I), a pair of mol­ecules around an inversion center form a dimer connected by two carboxyl groups. The anthracene planes of two mol­ecules in (II) are antiparallel to each other around an inversion center. The vinyl group of (I) is almost coplanar with the phenyl ring, whereas the vinyl group of (II) is nearly perpendicular to the anthracene plane. In (I), the bond length of the vinyl group at 293 K is significantly shorter than that at 108 K [1.288 (2) versus 1.3248 (14) Å] suggesting a bias of the thermal motion, whereas the bond lengths are not so different between the two temperatures in (II) [1.3266 (15) versus 1.310 (2) Å].

Crystal Structure of Diphenyldithiophosphinic Acid at 140 and 293 K The crystal structure of diphenyldithiophosphinic acid (C₆H₅)₂P(S)SH was determined from X-ray diffraction data collected at 140 and 293 K and was refined to R factors of 0.037 (140 K, (sin Θ)/λ < 0.81 Å^?1) and 0.035 (293 K, (sin Θ)/λ < 0.64 Å^?1) respectively. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with unit cell parameters at 140 K (in parentheses: at 293 K): a = 9.824(3) (9.887), b = 10.061(3) (10.175), c = 14.342(4) (14.433) Å, β = 122.08(3) (121.73)° and V = 1201.1 (1234.9) ų, Z = 4. In the crystalline state individual molecules are linked together by nearly linear S? H…?S hydrogen bonds so that endless helical chains are formed. At 140 K the S…?S distance within the hydrogen bond is 3.790(1) Å; the other distances and angles associated with the bridge are: d(S? H): 1,25(2), d(S…?H): 2,56(2), d(P? S): 2,077(1), d(P?S): 1.954(1) Å, ? (S? H…?S): 169.5(14), ? (P? S…?S): 98.87(2), ? (P? S…?S): 96.65(2)°.     

On the symmetry of iron(III) tris-acetylacetonate crystals

The crystal structure of iron tris-acetylacetonate is re-determined. Crystal data at 293 K are: a = 15.4524(5) Å, b = 13.5876(4) Å, c = 16.5729(7) Å, Z = 8; at 150 K: a = 15.2541(4) Å, b = 13.4451(3) Å, c = 16.4256(5) Å, Z = 8. The structure is molecular and comprises isolated molecules. The coordination polyhderon of iron is an almost regular octahedron, Fe-O bond lengths are 1.977–2.003 Å (293 K) and 1.982–2.006 Å (150 K). In the crystalline state, the molecules are arranged in layers, and iron atoms are located on a plane yielding an almost regular trigonal net with the Fe...Fe separations of 7.558–8.103 Å (293 K) and 7.472–8.017 Å (150 K). The adjacent layer is positioned exactly over the first one with a Fe...Fe distance of 8.303 Å (293 K) and 8.236 Å (150 K).     

Structural and EPR study of the dependence on deuteration of the Jahn-Teller distortion in ammonium hexaaquacopper(II) sulfate, (NH4)

The variation of the EPR spectra with degree of deuteration of the partially deuterated Tutton salt ammonium hexaaquacopper(II) sulfate, (NH4)2[Cu(H2O)6](SO4)2, has been measured at 293 K. The measurements indicate that the structure changes quite abruptly from that of the pure hydrogenous salt to that of the fully deuterated salt at approximately 50% deuteration. The structure of a crystal in which approximately 42% of the hydrogen atoms were replaced by deuterium was elucidated at 15 K by single-crystal time-of-flight neutron diffraction. The hexaaquacopper(II) complex exhibits an orthorhombically distorted, tetragonally elongated octahedral coordination geometry (Cu-O bond distances of 2.281(1), 2.007(1), and 1.975(1) A). The structure is very similar to that reported for the undeuterated salt at 9.6 K, and markedly different from that of the fully deuterated compound at 15 K, which has similar Cu-O bond lengths but with the directions of the long and intermediate bonds interchanged. There is no evidence for disorder or partial switching of the Cu-O bond directions. This is consistent with the temperature dependence of the EPR spectrum of the approximately 42% deuterated compound, which indicates a thermal equilibrium between the two structural forms close to room temperature similar to that reported for the undeuterated compound, but complete reversion to the low-temperature phase on cooling to 5 K. The possible influence of deuteration upon the hydrogen-bonding distances and the bearing of this upon the structural modifications of the compound are discussed.     

Crystal structure of 1beta-hydroxy-beta-homopipitzolone (9-hydroxy-2,6,9-trimethyltricyclo[6,3,1,0(1,6)]dodeca-5,10,11,12-tetraone).

C15H18O5 is orthorhombic, P2(1)2(1)2(1). The unit-cell dimensions at 293 K are a = 6.526(3), b = 10.247(4), c = 21.008(13) A, V = 1404.8(12) A3, Dx = 1.316 g/cm3, and Z = 4. The R value is 0.044 for 1288 observed reflections. The A, B and C rings adopt chair, twist, and half-chair conformations. The absolute configuration is inferred from the C6 stereochemistry of (+)-cedrol. The crystal structure is stabilized by an O-H...O hydrogen bond and van der Waals forces.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 4-Salicylimine-3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole

1 INTRODUCTION 1, 2, 4-Triazole and its derivatives have gained great attention as ligands to transition metals by the fact that they unite the coordination geometry of both pyrazoles and imidazoles, and in addition exhibit a strong and typical property of acting as bridging ligands between two metal centers. In this bridging capacity, the 1, 2, 4-triazole ligands show a great coordination diversity, especially when the triazole nucleus are substituted with additional donor groups[1]. In…     

Temperature Dependence of the Crystal Structure and EPR Spectrum of Bis(1,3,5-Trihydroxycyclohexane)copper(II) Tosylate. A Unified Interpretation Using a Model of Dynamic Vibronic Coupling

The crystal structure of bis(1,3,5-trihydroxycyclohexane)copper(II) tosylate is reported at temperatures of 293, 233, 188, 163, and 93 K, as are the structures of the Zn(II) and Ni(II) analogues at room temperature for comparison. The isomorphous compounds are triclinic, space group P&onemacr;, with one formula unit in the unit cell. The unit cell parameters of the Cu compound at 293 K are a = 6.456(5) ?, b = 9.505(3) ?, c = 12.544(3) ?, alpha = 76.57(2) degrees, beta = 87.48(4) degrees, gamma = 76.65(4) degrees. The centrosymmetric ZnO(6) and NiO(6) octahedra are tetragonally compressed with a slight orthorhombic distortion. The Cu(2+) polyhedra exhibit similar geometries, but with considerably larger deviations from a regular octahedron. Two of the three independent Cu-O bond lengths and two of the g-values change significantly as a function of temperature. A model of dynamic vibronic coupling is presented which explains both the EPR and structural data. Vibronic wave functions associated with a Jahn-Teller potential energy surface modified by an orthorhombic lattice "strain" are given. The temperature dependence of the structures is calculated from the nuclear parts and that of the g-values from the electronic parts of the wave functions. The temperature dependence of the structures and g-values is also interpreted using a simpler model involving an equilibrium between two forms of the complex which differ solely in their orientation in the crystal lattice, and the results of the two approaches are compared.
