A Sterically Hindered Phosphonic Acid with a Hydrogen‐Bonded Cage Structure: [4‐tert‐Bu‐2,6‐Mes2‐C6H2P(O)(OH)2·H2O]4

The synthesis and molecular structure of the novel phosphonic acid 4‐tert‐Bu‐2,6‐Mes₂‐C₆H₂P(O)(OH)₂ ( 1 ) is reported. Compound 1 crystallizes in form of its monohydrate as a hydrogen‐bonded cluster ( 1·H₂O )₄ comprizing four phosphonic acid molecules (O···O 2.383(3)‐3.006(4) Å). Additionally, sterically hindered terphenyl‐substituted phosphorus compounds of the type 4‐tert‐Bu‐2,6‐Mes₂‐C₆H₂PR(O)(OH) ( 5 , R = H; 7 , R = O₂CC₆H₄‐3‐Cl; 9 , R = OEt) were prepared, which all show dimeric hydrogen‐bonded structures with O···O distances in the range 2.489(2)–2.519(3) Å. Attempts at oxidizing 5 using H₂O₂, KMnO₄, O₃, or Me₃NO in order to give 1 failed. Crystallization of 5 in the presence of Me₃NO gave the novel hydrogen bonded aggregate 4‐tert‐Bu‐2,6‐Mes₂‐C₆H₂PH(O)(OH)·ONMe₃ ( 6 ) showing an O–H···O distance of 2.560(4) Å.     

Synthesis and thermal decomposition reaction kinetics of complexes of [Sm2(m‐ClBA)6(phen)2] · 2H2O and [Sm2(m‐BrBA)6(phen)2] · 2H2O

Complexes of [Sm₂(m‐ClBA)₆(phen)₂] · 2H₂O and [Sm₂(m‐BrBA)₆(phen)₂] · 2H₂O (m‐ClBA = m‐chlorobenzoate, m‐BrBA = m‐bromobenzoate, and phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectra.

[{Cu(phen)2}(μ‐malato){Cu(phen)(NO3)}](NO3)·4H2O: malate acting as a tetra­dentate and dibridging ligand in a dinuclear copper complex

The crystal structure of the title compound, μ‐2‐hydroxy­butane­dioato‐1κ²O⁴,O^4′:2κ³O¹,O²,O⁴‐nitrato‐2κO‐tris­(1,10‐phen­anthroline)‐1κ⁴N,N′;2κ²N,N′‐dicopper(II) nitrate tetra­hydrate, [Cu₂(C₄H₃O₅)(NO₃)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₃](NO₃)·4H₂O, contains an unsymmetrical dinuclear copper complex with Cu(phen)₂ and Cu(phen)(NO₃) moieties (phen is 1,10‐phenanthroline) bridged by a malate (2‐hydroxy­butane­dioate) ligand, which acts as a double‐bridging and tetra­dentate ligand. As a result of this double‐bridging action, especially the direct coordination of the O atom of one carboxyl­ate group of malate to the two Cu atoms, the Cu⋯Cu distance is only 4.199 (1) Å and the two phen planes are roughly parallel [the shortest inter­planar distance is 3.28 (1) Å], exhibiting an obvious intra­molecular π–π stacking inter­action.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [La(phen)2(H2O)2(NO3)2]NO3 · 2(phen)(H2O) with phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline

The title compound [La(phen)₂(H₂O)₂(NO₃)₂](NO₃) · 2(phen)(H₂O) with phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline was prepared by the stoichiometric reaction of La(NO₃)₃ · 6 H₂O and 1,10‐phenanthroline monohydrate in a CH₃OH–H₂O solution.

The La atom is 10‐fold coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate chelating phen ligands and six O atoms of two H₂O molecules and two bidentate chelating NO₃^2– ligands with d(La–O) = 2.522–2.640 Å and d(La–N) = 2.689–2.738 Å. The intermolecular π‐π stacking interactions play an essential role in the formation of two different 2 D layers parallel to (001), which are formed by complex cations and uncoordinating phen molecules, respectively. The uncoordinated NO₃^– anions and H₂O molecules are sandwiched between the cationic and phen layers.

Interestingly, the succinato ligands in the complex molecules assume gauche conformation bidentately to chelate the Mn atoms into seven‐membered rings.

Europium(Ⅲ) compound with 2-oxopropionic acid salicyloyl hydrazone (C_(10)H_(10)N_2O_4,H_3L) and 1,10-phenan-throline (C_(12)H_8N_2,phen) has been prepared.A yellow prismatic crystal of the compound was obtained,and themolecule crystallized in the triclinic space group P-1.There are two 9-coordinated complex molecules in everystructure unit,where every Eu atom is coordinated by three water molecules and two tridentate C_(10)H_(10)N_2O_4 ligands,forming two stable pentacycles.The coordination polyhedron around Eu~(3+) was described as a single cap squareantiprism.In the crystal cell,there are one free 1,10-phenanthroline and four water molecules.The thermaldecomposition of the compound and its kinetics were studied by non-isothermal thermogravimetry.The Kissinger'smethod and Ozawa's method were used to calculate the activation energy value of the first-step decomposition.Thestages of the decompositions were identified by TG-DTG-DSC curve.The non-isothermal kinetic data were ana-lyzed by means of integral and differential methods.The possible reaction mechanism and the kinetic equationswere investigated by comparing the kinetic parameters.     

Kristallstruktur von Natrium‐Dihydrogencyamelurat‐Tetrahydrat Na[H2(C6N7)O3] · 4 H2O

Crystal Structure of Sodium Dihydrogencyamelurate Tetrahydrate Na[H₂(C₆N₇)O₃] · 4 H₂O Sodium dihydrogencyamelurate‐tetrahydrate Na[H₂(C₆N₇)O₃]·4 H₂O was obtained by neutralisation of an aqueous solution, previously prepared by hydrolysis of the polymer melon with sodium hydroxide. The crystal structure was solved by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction ( a = 6.6345(13), b = 8.7107(17), c = 11.632(2) Å, α = 68.96(3), β = 87.57(3), γ = 68.24(3)°, V = 579.5(2) ų, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0535, 2095 observed reflections, 230 parameters). Both hydrogen atoms of the dihydrogencyamelurate anion are directly bound to nitrogen atoms of the cyameluric nucleus, thus proving the preference of the keto‐tautomere in salts of cyameluric acid in the solid‐state. The compound forms a layer‐like structure with an extensive hydrogen bonding network.     

Bis(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)(squarato‐κO)copper(II) trihydrate

The title mononuclear [Cu(sq)(phen)₂]·3H₂O complex [sq is squarate (C₄O₄) and phen is 1,10‐phenanthroline (C₁₂H₈N₂)] has been synthesized and the structure consists of a neutral mononuclear [Cu(sq)(phen)₂] unit and three solvate water mol­ecules. The Cu^II ion has distorted square‐pyramidal coordination geometry, comprised of one carboxyl­ate O atom from a monodentate squarate ligand and four N atoms from two chelating phen ligands. An extensive three‐dimensional network of OW—H⋯O/OW hydrogen bonds, face‐to‐face π–­π interactions between the 1,10‐phenanthroline aromatic rings and a weak π–ring interaction are responsible for crystal stabilization.     

A three‐dimensional coordination polymer based on the Zn4(μ3‐OH)2 unit: poly[[(μ4‐benzene‐1,4‐dicarboxylato)bis(μ3‐benzene‐1,4‐dicarboxylato)bis(μ3‐hydroxido)bis(1,10‐phenanthroline‐5,6‐dione)tetrazinc] dihydrate]

The title compound, {[Zn₄(C₈H₄O₄)₃(OH)₂(C₁₂H₆N₂O₂)₂]·2H₂O}_n, has been prepared hydrothermally by the reaction of Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O with benzene‐1,4‐dicarboxylic acid (H₂bdc) and 1,10‐phenanthroline‐5,6‐dione (pdon) in H₂O. In the crystal structure, a tetranuclear Zn₄(OH)₂ fragment is located on a crystallographic inversion centre which relates two subunits, each containing a [ZnN₂O₄] octahedron and a [ZnO₄] tetrahedron bridged by a μ₃‐OH group. The pdon ligand chelates to zinc through its two N atoms to form part of the [ZnN₂O₄] octahedron. The two crystallographically independent bdc²⁻ ligands are fully deprotonated and adopt μ₃‐κO:κO′:κO′′ and μ₄‐κO:κO′:κO′′:κO′′′ coordination modes, bridging three or four Zn^II cations, respectively, from two Zn₄(OH)₂ units. The Zn₄(OH)₂ fragment connects six neighbouring tetranuclear units through four μ₃‐bdc²⁻ and two μ₄‐bdc²⁻ ligands, forming a three‐dimensional framework with uninodal 6‐connected α‐Po topology, in which the tetranuclear Zn₄(OH)₂ units are considered as 6‐connected nodes and the bdc²⁻ ligands act as linkers. The uncoordinated water molecules are located on opposite sides of the Zn₄(OH)₂ unit and are connected to it through hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving hydroxide and carboxylate groups. The structure is further stabilized by extensive π–π interactions between the pdon and μ₄‐bdc²⁻ ligands.     

An Azelaato‐bridged Dinuclear Copper(II) Complex, [Cu2(phen)2(C9H14O4)2] · 6 H2O (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline)

The title compound [Cu₂(phen)₂(C₉H₁₄O₄)₂] · 6 H₂O was prepared by the reaction of CuCl₂ · 2 H₂O, 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen), azelaic acid and Na₂CO₃ in a CH₃OH/H₂O solution. The crystal structure (monoclinic, C2/c (no. 15), a = 22.346(3), b = 11.862(1), c = 17.989(3) Å, β = 91.71(1)°, Z = 4, R = 0.0473, wR² = 0.1344 for 4279 observed reflections) consists of centrosymmetric dinuclear [Cu₂(phen)₂(C₉H₁₄O₄)₂] complexes and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. The Cu atom is square‐planar coordinated by the two N atoms of the chelating phen ligand and two O atoms of different bidentate bridging azelaate groups with d(Cu–N) = 2.053, 2.122(2) Å and d(Cu–O) = 1.948(2), 2.031(2) Å. Two azelaate anions bridge two common Cu atoms via the terminal O atoms (d(C–O) = 1.29(2) Å; d(C–C) = 1.550(4)–1.583(4) Å). Phen ligands of adjacent complexes cover each other at distances of about 3.62 Å, indicating π‐π stacking interaction, by which the complexes are linked to 1 D bands.     

Zu den Kristallstrukturen der Übergangsmetall(II)‐Dodekahydro‐closo‐Dodekaborat‐Hydrate Cu(H2O)5,5[B12H12]·2,5 H2O und Zn(H2O)6[B12H12]·6 H2O

On the Crystal Structures of the Transition‐Metal(II) Dodecahydro‐closo‐Dodecaborate Hydrates Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O and Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O By neutralization of an aqueous solution of the free acid (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] with basic copper(II) carbonate or zinc carbonate, blue lath‐shaped single crystals of the octahydrate Cu[B₁₂H₁₂]·8 H₂O (≡ Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O) and colourless face‐rich single crystals of the dodecahydrate Zn[B₁₂H₁₂]·12 H₂O (≡ Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O) could be isolated after isothermic evaporation. Copper(II) dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate octahydrate crystallizes at room temperature in the monoclinic system with the non‐centrosymmetric space group Pm (Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O: a = 768.23(5), b = 1434.48(9), c = 777.31(5) pm, β = 90.894(6)°; Z = 2), whereas zinc dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate dodecahydrate crystallizes cubic in the likewise non‐centrosymmetric space group F23 (Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O: a = 1637.43(9) pm; Z = 8). The crystal structure of Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O can be described as a monoclinic distortion variant of the CsCl‐type arrangement. As characteristic feature the formation of isolated [Cu₂(H₂O)₁₁]⁴⁺ units as a condensate of two corner‐linked Jahn‐Teller distorted [Cu(H₂O)₆]²⁺ octahedra via an oxygen atom of crystal water can be considered. Since “zeolitic” water of hydratation is also present, obviously both classical H–O^δ?···^+δH–O and non‐classical B–H^δ?···^+δH–O hydrogen bonds play a significant role for the stabilization of the structure. A direct coordinative influence of the quasi‐icosahedral [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions on the Cu²⁺ cations has not been determined. The zinc compound Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O crystallizes in a NaTl‐type related structure. Two crystallographically different [Zn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ octahedra are present, which only differ in their relative orientation within the packing of the [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions. The stabilization of the crystal structure takes place mainly via H–O^δ?···^+δH–O hydrogen bonds, since again the hydrogen atoms of the [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions have no direct coordinative influence on the Zn²⁺ cations.     

One‐dimensional copper(II) coordination polymers based on 1,3‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)propane and diimine ligands

Two one‐dimensional (1D) coordination polymers (CPs), namely catena‐poly[[[aqua(2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ²N,N′)(nitrato‐κO)copper(II)]‐μ‐1,3‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)propane‐κ²N:N′] nitrate], {[Cu(NO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₁₃H₁₄N₂)(H₂O)]·NO₃}_n ( 1 ), and catena‐poly[[[aqua(nitrato‐κO)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)copper(II)]‐μ‐1,3‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)propane‐κ²N:N′] nitrate], {[Cu(NO₃)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(C₁₃H₁₄N₂)(H₂O)]·NO₃}_n ( 2 ), have been synthesized using [Cu(NO₃)(NN)(H₂O)₂]NO₃, where NN = 2,2′‐bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen), as a linker in a 1:1 molar ratio. The CPs were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and single‐crystal X‐ray structure determination. The 1,3‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)propane (dpp) ligand acts as a bridging ligand, leading to the formation of a 1D polymer. The octahedral coordination sphere around copper consists of two N atoms from bpy for 1 or phen for 2 , two N atoms from dpp, one O atom from water and one O atom from a coordinated nitrate anion. Each structure contains two crystallographically independent chains in the asymmetric unit and the chains are linked via hydrogen bonds into a three‐dimensional network.     

Facile synthesis of pyridinium aryltetrachlorotellurates: crystal and molecular structure of [C5H6N][RTeCl4] (R = m‐O2NC6H4, p‐NCC6H4)

Arylation of TeCl₄ with arylboroxine–pyridine complexes [(RBO)₃·C₅H₅N, where R = m‐O₂NC₆H₄ ( 1 ), p‐O₂NC₆H₄ ( 2 ), m‐NCC₆H₄ ( 3 ), p‐NCC₆H₄ ( 4 )] and advantageous moisture provided good yields of the pyridinium aryltetrachlorotellurates [C₅H₆N][RTeCl₄] [R = m‐O₂NC₆H₄ ( 5 ), p‐O₂NC₆H₄ ( 6 ), m‐NCC₆H₄ ( 7 ), p‐NCC₆H₄ ( 8 )]. Compounds 5 and 8 have been investigated by X‐ray crystallography. Key features of both crystal structures are intermolecular secondary Te???Cl interactions between the aryltetrachlorotellurate anions and weak association of the cations and anions. Electrospray mass spectra of compound 5 reveal that the associative interactions also play a role in solution. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

4‐Carboxypyridinium perchlorate 18‐crown‐6 dihydrate clathrate and 4‐carboxypyridinium tetrafluoroborate 18‐crown‐6 dihydrate clathrate

Mixtures of 4‐carboxypyridinium perchlorate or 4‐carboxypyridinium tetrafluoroborate and 18‐crown‐6 (1,4,7,10,13,16‐hexaoxacyclooctadecane) in ethanol and water solution yielded the title supramolecular salts, C₆H₆NO₂⁺·ClO₄⁻·C₁₂H₂₄O₆·2H₂O and C₆H₆NO₂⁺·BF₄⁻·C₁₂H₂₄O₆·2H₂O. Based on their similar crystal symmetries, unit cells and supramolecular assemblies, the salts are essentially isostructural. The asymmetric unit in each structure includes one protonated isonicotinic acid cation and one crown ether molecule, which together give a [(C₆H₆NO₂)(18‐crown‐6)]⁺ supramolecular cation. N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the protonated N atoms and a single O atom of each crown ether result in the 4‐carboxypyridinium cations `perching' on the 18‐crown‐6 molecules. Further hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving the supramolecular cation and both water molecules form a one‐dimensional zigzag chain that propagates along the crystallographic c direction. O—H...O or O—H...F hydrogen bonds between one of the water molecules and the anions fix the anion positions as pendant upon this chain, without further increasing the dimensionality of the supramolecular network.     

Two Novel CuII Phenanthroline Adipato Complexes with π‐π Stacking Interactions: [Cu(phen)2(C6H8O4)] · 4.5 H2O and [(Cu2(phen)2Cl2)(C6H8O4)] · 4 H2O

The blue copper complex compounds [Cu(phen)₂(C₆H₈O₄)] · 4.5 H₂O ( 1 ) and [(Cu₂(phen)₂Cl₂)(C₆H₈O₄)] · 4 H₂O ( 2 ) were synthesized from CuCl₂, 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) and adipic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O solutions. [Cu(phen)₂‐ (C₆H₈O₄)] complexes and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules form the crystal structure of ( 1 ) (P1 (no. 2), a = 10.086(2) Å, b = 11.470(2) Å, c = 16.523(3) Å, α = 99.80(1)°, β = 115.13(1)°, γ = 115.13(1)°, V = 1617.5(5) ų, Z = 2). The Cu atoms are square‐pyramidally coordinated by four N atoms of the phen ligands and one O atom of the adipate anion (d(Cu–O) = 1.989 Å, d(Cu–N) = 2.032–2.040 Å, axial d(Cu–N) = 2.235 Å). π‐π stacking interactions between phen ligands are responsible for the formation of supramolecular assemblies of [Cu(phen)₂(C₆H₈O₄)] complex molecules into 1 D chains along [111]. The crystal structure of ( 2 ) shows polymeric [(Cu₂(phen)₂Cl₂)(C₆H₈O₄)_2/2] chains (P1 (no. 2), a = 7.013(1) Å, b = 10.376(1) Å, c = 11.372(3) Å, α = 73.64(1)°, β = 78.15(2)°, γ = 81.44(1)°, V = 773.5(2) ų, Z = 1). The Cu atoms are fivefold coordinated by two Cl atoms, two N atoms of phen ligands and one O atom of the adipate anion, forming [CuCl₂N₂O] square pyramids with an axial Cl atom (d(Cu–O) = 1.958 Å, d(Cu–N) = 2.017–2.033 Å, d(Cu–Cl) = 2.281 Å; axial d(Cu–Cl) = 2.724 Å). Two square pyramids are condensed via the common Cl–Cl edge to centrosymmetric [Cu₂Cl₂N₄O₂] dimers, which are connected via the adipate anions to form the [(Cu₂(phen)₂Cl₂)(C₆H₈O₄)_2/2] chains. The supramolecular 3 D network results from π‐π stacking interactions between the chains. H₂O molecules are located in tunnels.

The title compound, {[Mn(C₄H₄O₆)(C₁₂H₈N₂)]·6H₂O}_n, has a linear chain structure containing monomeric [Mn(C₄H₄O₆)(C₁₂H₈N₂)] repeat units. Each manganese ion is six‐coordinate, with the two phenanthroline N atoms [Mn—N = 2.229 (2) and 2.235 (2) Å] and four O atoms from two tartrate anions [Mn—O_COO = 2.1252 (19) and 2.1310 (19) Å, and Mn—O_OH = 2.2404 (19) and 2.2424 (19) Å] forming a seriously distorted octahedral coordination environment. Six water mol­ecules exist outside every repeat unit as solvate mol­ecules. Extensive hydrogen‐bonding interactions and π–π stacking of the phenanthroline moieties exist between the chains.
