Hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of a layered coordination polymer: [Zn2(C2O4)2(C3N2H4)2] n

A new metal-organic coordination polymer [Zn₂(C₂O₄)₂(C₃N₂H₄)₂] _n (1) has been hydrothermally synthesized with ZnCl₂·2H₂O, oxalic acid and imidazole. The compound has a 2D network, consisting of infinite zinc(II) oxalate chains connected to each other by three-coordinate oxygen atoms. Within the chains, the zinc atoms are each octahedrally coordinated by one nitrogen atom from imidazole and five oxygen atoms from oxalate groups. Furthermore, there are two coordination modes of oxalate to zinc ions: chelate bis-bidentate and chelate/bridging bis-bidentate in compound 1, and the latter is rare among related compounds.

Synthesis,crystal structure and luminescence of a two-dimensional interpenetrating supermolecular complex {[Cd(phen)2(sube)] · 2H2O} n

A coordination polymer {[Cd(phen)₂(sube)]·2H₂O} _n (1) (phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline; H₂sube?=?suberic acid) has been synthesized by reaction of phen and suberic acid with cadmium(II). Elemental analysis, thermal analyses, IR spectra and X-ray crystal structure analysis were carried out to determine the composition and crystal structure of 1. The Cd(II) is six-coordinate in a distorted octahedral configuration. A 2-D interpenetrating framework supramolecular structure was formed by π–π stacking interaction between phen of neighboring chains. Moreover, 1 displayed luminescent properties in the blue range at room temperature.     

First principles study on the solvation and structure of C2O4(2-)(H2O)n, n = 6-12

The structures and energies of hydrated oxalate clusters, C2O4(2-)(H2O)n, n = 6-12, are obtained by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and compared to SO4(2-)(H2O)n. Although the evolution of the cluster structure with size is similar to that of SO4(2-)(H2O)n, there are a number of important and distinctive futures in C2O4(2-)(H2O)n, including the separation of the two charges due to the C-C bond in C2O4(2-), the lower symmetry around C2O4(2-), and the torsion along the C-C bond, that affect both the structure and the solvation energy. The solvation dynamics for the isomers of C2O4(2-)(H2O)12 are also examined by DFT based ab initio molecular dynamics.

Singlecrystal X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that the helical water chains and {[Co（proH）- （H2O）3]2[P2Mo5O23]}n chains are perpendicular to each other and extend into an overall three-dimensional supramolecular architecture by hydrogen-bonding interactions. The magnetic investigation indicates weak antiferromagnetic interactions in the compound.

A Novel Ni-capped Silverton-type Complex: H_4{[Ni(H_2O)_3]_2[CeMo_(12)O_(42)]}·13.5H_2O

1 INTRODUCTION Polyoxometalates are metal-oxygen clusters with almost unrivaled versatility, which results from their enormous structural variety, range of sizes, tunable redox properties and fascinating catalytic activi- ties[1~7]. Therein, an important progress in transition metal oxide cluster chemistry has been the study of polyoxoanion-substituted and supported inorganic or organometallic complexes[8, 9].

Template synthesis of [(Mo(V)2O4)(O3PCH2PO3)]n clusters (n = 3, 4, 10): solid state and solution studies

The influence of three exogenous ligands (acetate, formate and carbonate) on the condensation process of the [Mo2O4]2+ dioxocation with the [O3PCH2PO3](4-) group has been investigated. Four cyclic or bicyclic compounds have been isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. Two closely related acetato and formato ovoidal duodecanuclear compounds, Na24[Na4(H2O)6[(Mo2O4)10(O3PCH2PO3)10(CH3COO)8(H2O)4]].103H2O (1) and Na28[Na2[(Mo2O4)10(O3PCH2PO3)10(HCOO)10]].110H2O (2), respectively, have been obtained. Their structures can be described as two interconnected nonequivalent wheels, delimiting a large cavity. When the condensation is performed in similar conditions but replacing carboxylato groups by carbonato ligands, the ellipsoidal octanuclear Na11[Na(H2O)2[(Mo2O4)4(O3PCH2PO3)4(CO3)2]].70H2O (3) compound is isolated. 31P NMR spectroscopic studies have shown that complexes 1 and 3 are stable in solution at room temperature. Nevertheless, on heating an aqueous solution of 3, the Na8[(Mo2O4)3(O3PCH2PO3)3(MoO4)].18H2O (4) complex, free of carbonato groups, is obtained. 4 is a hexanuclear Mo(V) wheel encapsulating a tetrahedral [Mo(VI)O4](2-) anion. Its rational synthesis using a controlled Mo(V)/Mo(VI) ratio is also presented.

The complex {[Mn(H2O)4(3, 3?-azpy)](3, 3?-azpy)3(PF6)2}n (3, 3?-azpy = 3, 3?- azobispyridine) has been synthesized and characterized. The crystal (C40H40F12MnN16O4P2, Mr = 1153.76) belongs to the triclinic system, space group P ī with the following crystallographic parameters: a = 10.761(2), b = 11.040(2), c = 23.365(4) ?, ( = 85.52(1), ( = 82.69(1), ( = 70.44(1)°, V = 2592.5(8) ?3, Dc = 1.478 g/cm3, ((MoK() = 4.16 cm-1, F(000) = 1174, Z = 2, final R = 0.0493 and wR = 0.1158 for the observed reflections (I > 2.00((I)). The X-ray analysis revealed that manganese(Ⅱ) cation coordination environment is a distorted octahedral geometry, and the Mn2+ cation is coordinated by four oxygen atoms of water in the equatorial plane, while the two nitrogen atoms of 3, 3?-azpy occupy the axial positions. The complex forms a one-dimensional chain structure via 3, 3?-azpy bridging ligand.     

Hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structure, and photoluminescence of a new 2D cadmium(II) complex: {Cd(C8H5O3Cl2)2(C10H8N2)} n

One new cadmium coordination polymer, [Cd(2,4-Dcp)₂(4,4-Bipy)] _n (I) (2,4-HDcp = 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 4,4′-Bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine) with 2D layer structure, has been prepared by the hydrothermal synthesis and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TGA and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The mechanism of proton exchange: guided ion beam studies of the reactions, H(H2O)n+ (n=1-4)+D2O and D(D2O)n+ (n=1-4)+H2O

Reactions of protonated water clusters, H(H(2)O)(n) (+) (n=1-4) with D(2)O and their "mirror" reactions, D(D(2)O)(n) (+) (n=1-4) with H(2)O, are studied using guided-ion beam mass spectrometry. Absolute reaction cross sections are determined as a function of collision energy from thermal energy to over 10 eV. At low collision energies, we observe reactions in which H(2)O and D(2)O molecules are interchanged and reactions where H-D exchange has occurred. As the collision energy is increased, the H-D exchange products decrease and the water exchange products become dominant. At high collision energies, processes in which one or more water molecules are lost from the reactant ions become important, with simple collision-induced dissociation processes, i.e., those without H-D exchange, being dominant. Threshold energies of endothermic channels are measured and used to determine binding energies of the proton bound complexes, which are consistent with those determined by thermal equilibrium measurements and previous collision-induced dissociation studies. A kinetic scheme that relies only on the ratio of isomerization and dissociation rate constants successfully accounts for the kinetic energy dependence observed in the branching ratios for H-D and water exchange products in all systems. Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory and ab initio calculations confirm the feasibility and establish the details of this kinetic model.

{[Ba2(C2O4)(H2O)6](NCS)2}n: a layered mixed‐anion barium oxalate

We present the first example of a compound containing Ba²⁺, C₂O₄²⁻, water and some additional halide or pseudo‐halide anions, viz. hexa‐μ₂‐aqua‐μ₆‐oxalato‐dibarium(II) diiso­thio­cyanate, {[Ba₂(C₂O₄)(H₂O)₆](NCS)₂}_n. The structure consists of positively charged planar covalent layers of Ba²⁺ cations, oxalate anions and water mol­ecules. The first coordination sphere of the Ba²⁺ cation contains six water mol­ecules and four O atoms from two planar oxalate anions. The oxalate anion lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated to six Ba²⁺ cations, each donor O atom being bonded to two cations. Pairs of water mol­ecules are coordinated by two Ba²⁺ cations. The layers are interspersed with non‐coordinated NCS⁻ anions.
