Synthesis and characterization of four metal-organophosphonates with one-, two-, and three-dimensional structures

A series of metal-organic hybrid compounds were synthesized using two new phosphonic acids, pyridyl-4-phosphonic acid and p-xylylenediphosphonic acid (H(2)O(3)PCH(2)C(6)H(4)CH(2)PO(3)H(2)). The phosphonic acid ligands have been synthesized from their corresponding bromides following two different types of reactions. The reaction of pyridyl-4-phosphonic acid with three different divalent metal salts results in the formation of molecular structures of different dimensionality. The reaction of Cu(II) with the phosphonic acid under hydrothermal conditions yields a three-dimensional (3D) open framework structure having the molecular formula [Cu(4)(NC(5)H(4)-PO(3))(4)(H(2)O)(10)] (1). The reactions with Mn(II) and Zn(II) salts with the same phosphonic acid resulted in a two-dimensional layered and a dinuclear compound with molecular formulas [Mn(3)(NC(5)H(4)-PO(3))(4)(H(2)O)(6)(ClO(4))(2)] (2) and [Zn(2)(NHC(5)H(4)-PO(3)H)(2)Cl(4)] (3), respectively. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system having space group P with structural parameters a = 7.4564(15) Angstrom, b = 9.1845(19) Angstrom, c = 11.582(2) Angstrom, alpha = 100.842(3) degrees, beta = 104.303(3) degrees, gamma = 94.774(3) degrees, and Z = 1. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system, space group P, with structural parameters a = 7.6871(14) Angstrom, b = 10.576(2) Angstrom, c = 14.470(3)Angstrom, alpha = 81.340(3) degrees, beta = 81.561(3) degrees, gamma = 68.757(3) degrees, and Z = 2, whereas compound 3 crystallizes in a monoclinic crystal system with space group P2(1)/n. The structural parameters are as follows: a = 8.4969 (5) Angstrom, b = 9.3911 (5) Angstrom, c = 12.3779 (6) Angstrom, beta = 90.860(17) degrees, and Z = 4. The pyridylphosphonate ligand shows different ligation behavior toward the three divalent metal ions. On the other hand, p-xylylenediphosphonic acid on reaction with Co(II) formed a 3D compound [Co(2)(O(3)PCH(2)C(6)H(4)CH(2)PO(3))(2)(H(2)O)(2)] (4) with a layered and pillared structure. Compound 4 crystallizes in an orthorhombic crystal system with space group Pnma. The structural parameters are a = 21.744(4) Angstrom, b = 5.6744(10) Angstrom, c = 4.7927(9) Angstrom, and Z = 4.

A Novel Copper(II) Coordination Polymer with Figure-of-eight-shaped Channels Occupied by Flexible Monodentate and Bidentate N,N′-bipyrdyl Ligands

A copper(II) coordination polymer, [Cu3(HOA)2(bpp)4]n (1, H4OA = 3,3′,4,4′-oxidiphthalic acid, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl) propane), has been hydrothermally synthesized. The crystal structure is of monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 11.544(3), b = 16.129(4), c = 21.181(6) , β = 98.848(5), V = 3897.0(2) 3, C84O18N8H70Cu3, Mr = 1670.13, Z = 2, Dc = 1.423 g/cm3, F(000) = 1722, μ = 0.887 mm-1 , R = 0.0878 and wR = 0.2583 for 8496 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis reveals that 1 is a three-dimensional (3D) framework based on a two-dimensional (2D) mesomeric layer of alternating left-and right-handed helical chains. The monodentate terminal and bidentate bridging bpp ligands in the same conformation are all encapsulated in the figure-of-eight-shaped channels, thus further stabilizing the whole three-dimen-sional framework.     

Hydrothermal synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid materials: network structures of the bimetallic oxides [M(Hdpa)2V4O12] (M = Co, Ni, dpa = 4,4'-dipyridylamine)

The hydrothermal reactions of MCl(2).6H2O (M = Co, Ni) NaVO3, 4,4'-dipyridylamine (dpa), and H2O yield materials of the type [M(Hdpa)2V4O12] (M = Co (1), Ni (2)). The two-dimensional structures of 1 and 2 are constructed from bimetallic oxide networks (MV4O12)n2n- with monodentate Hdpa projecting the protonated ring into the interlamellar region. The oxide network may be described as ruffled chains of corner-sharing (VO4) tetrahedra linked by (NiO4N2) octahedra into the two-dimensional assembly.

Structural influences of organonitrogen ligands on vanadium oxide solids. Hydrothermal syntheses and structures of the terpyridine vanadates [V2O4(terpy)2]3[V10O28], [VO2(terpy)][V4O10], and [V9O22(terpy)3

Hydrothermal reactions of the V2O5/2,2':6':2"-terpyridine/ZnO/H2O system under a variety of conditions yielded the organic-inorganic hybrid materials [V2O4(terpy)2]3[V10O28].2H2O (VOXI-10), [VO2(terpy)][V4O10] (VOXI-11), and [V9O22(terpy)3] (VOXI-12). The structure of VOXI-10 consists of discrete binuclear cations [V2O4(terpy)2]2+ and one-dimensional chains [V10O28]6-, constructed of cyclic [V4O12]4- clusters linked through (VO4) tetrahedra. In contrast, the structure of VOXI-11 exhibits discrete mononuclear cations [VO2(terpy)]1+ and a two-dimensional vanadium oxide network, [V4O10]1-. The structure of the oxide layer is constructed from ribbons of edge-sharing square pyramids; adjacent ribbons are connected through corner-sharing interactions into the two-dimensional architecture. VOXI-12 is also a network structure; however, in this case the terpy ligand is incorporated into the two-dimensional oxide network whose unique structure is constructed from cyclic [V6O18]6- clusters and linear (V3O5(terpy)3) moieties of corner-sharing vanadium octahedra. The rings form chains through corner-sharing linkages; adjacent chains are connected through the trinuclear units.

A New Heteropolyoxotungstate with a Three-dimensional All-inorganic Framework [（C2H4N2）4（P4Co3W4O（28）H6）（H2C2O4）]n

A new heteropolyoxotungstate [(C2H4N2)4(P4Co3W4O28H6)(H2C2O4)]n with a three-dimensional framework was hydrothermally synthesized.The compound crystallizes in a tetragonal system,space group I41/a with a = 17.1006(17),b = 17.1006(7),c = 10.7525(5),V = 3144.2(2)3,Z = 4,Dc = 3.795 g·cm-3,F(000) = 3300,MoKα(λ = 0.71073 ),μ = 16.460 mm-1,the final R = 0.0335 and wR = 0.0776.In the heteropolyoxotungstate,tungsten-oxygen octahedra are linked by sharing two cis-vertexes into an infinite helical chain extending along the c axis.Cobalt atoms in the octahedral geometry act as the linkers of these chains,forming a three-dimensional framework.The cobalt and phosphorus atoms in the tetrahedral geometry play a role in stabilizing the three-dimensional framework.Ethylenediamine molecules are polymerized into organic chains which locate in the interspaces of the framework in the way of interwinding with the W-O chains.     

Structure-based description of a step-by-step synthesis of homo- and heterodinuclear (4f, 4f ') lanthanide complexes

The stepwise course of the synthesis of homo- (4f, 4f) and heterodilanthanide (4f, 4f ') complexes has been investigated through structural determination of the intermediate and final products occurring in the process. In the first step, the tripodal ligand H(3)L is reacted with Ln(NO(3))(3) x 5H(2)O to give a complex (H(3)L)Ln(NO(3))(3) in which the ligand does exist in a zwitterionic form. This unexpected feature has been definitely supported by a structural determination performed on a closely related complex (HL')(3)Ln(NO(3))(3) (1). These species are fairly stable and may be isolated. In basic medium, (H(3)L)Ln(NO(3))(3) is deprotonated to yield a neutral LLn complex crystallized as LLnNaClO(4) (2), the lanthanide ion being linked to the inner N(4)O(3) coordination site of the ligand. Finally, addition of Ln'(NO(3))(3) x 5H(2)O (Ln' being similar or different from Ln) to the LLn complex yields the desired homo- or heterodinuclear LLnLn'(NO(3))(3) complex 3, where the Ln' ion is coordinated to the outer O(3)O(3) coordination site of the tripodal ligand. Complex 1 (Ln = La) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 (No. 2): a = 11.1883(7) A, b = 11.8993(9) A, c = 16.4197(10) A, alpha = 81.900 (6) degrees, beta = 79.406(5) degrees, gamma = 79.470(6) degrees, V = 2099.5(2) A(3), Z = 2. Complex 2 (Ln = Eu) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n (No. 14): a = 13.6333(13) A, b = 15.3799(12) A, c = 17.1473(13) A, beta = 111.283(10) degrees, V = 3350.2(5) A(3), Z = 4. Complex 3 (Ln = Ln' = Dy) crystallizes in the trigonal space group R3 (No. 148) with a = b = 23.847(3) A, c = 42.982(2) A, V = 21168(4) A(3), Z = 18. Complex 3 possesses a Dy(O(phenoxo))(3)Dy core, and a nitrato anion has been replaced by a eta(2)-chelated o-vanillin anion. We did not succeed in obtaining crystals of any of the heterodinuclear LLnLn'(NO(3))(3) entities, but their existence was unambiguously confirmed by positive fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry experiments.     

Explorations of new quaternary phases in the Ln(III)-V(V)(d0)-Se(IV)-O (Ln = Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb) systems

Systematic explorations of new phases in the Ln(III)-V(V)-Se(IV)-O systems by hydrothermal syntheses led to four new quaternary compounds, namely, Nd(2)(V(V)(2)O(4))(SeO(3))(4)·H(2)O (1), Ln(V(V)O(2))(SeO(3))(2) (Ln = Eu 2, Gd 3, Tb 4). The structure of Nd(2)(V(V)(2)O(4))(SeO(3))(4)·H(2)O features a 3D framework composed of the 2D layers of [N d(SeO(3))](+) bridged by the infinite [VO(2)(SeO(3))](-) chains with the lattice water molecules located at the 6-membered ring tunnels formed. The structure of Ln(V(V)O(2))(SeO(3))(2) (Ln = Eu, Gd, Tb) also features a 3D framework composed of 2D layers of [Ln(SeO(3))](+) bridged by the infinite [(VO(2))(SeO(3))](-) double chains. The 1D vanadium oxide selenite chain of 1 differs significantly from those in compounds 2-4 in terms of the coordination modes of the selenite groups and the connectivities between neighbouring VO(6) octahedra. Luminescent and magnetic properties of these compounds were also measured.

Synthesis, structure, and luminescent and magnetic properties of novel lanthanide metal-organic frameworks with zeolite-like topology

A series of microporous lanthanide metal-organic frameworks [Ln(BTC)(DMF)(2) x H(2)O, Ln = Tb (1), Dy (2), Ho (3), Er (4), Tm (5), Yb (6); DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide] with 4 x 4 x 4 x 6 x 6 x 8 topology, which is very common in the zeolite topologies, have been synthesized under mild conditions. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that they exhibit the same three-dimensional (3D) architecture and crystallize in monoclinic symmetry space group C2/c. Organic and inorganic four-connected nodes link each other to form a 3D open framework. The framework contains approximate 13 Angstrom x 7 Angstrom rectangle channels along the [1,1,0] and [1,-1,0] directions, respectively. The luminescent properties of these complexes have been studied, and complex 1 shows a Tb(3+) characteristic emission in the range of 450-650 nm at room temperature. Complexes 1-5 exhibit antiferromagnetic interaction between Ln(3+) ions. The water sorption isotherm shows that about 15 water molecules per unit cell can be adsorbed into the micropores of dehydrated complex 4.

A similar procedure involving (iPrO)3VO provided the linear chain [(mu 2,6-OC10H6O)(4-(3-phenylpropyl)py)2VO]n (2; C38H36N2O3V, monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 10.6172(2) A, b = 9.4477(3) A, c = 31.8129(8) A, beta = 95.20(3) degrees, Z = 4). Interchain pyridine ring-edge to phenyl-face interactions generate a sheet of like-oriented oxos, but adjacent sheets are oriented in opposition so that no net dipole exists. Another 1-dimensional chain, [(mu 1,4-OC6H4O)(py)2VO]n (3; C16H14N2O3V, monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 8.377(2) A, b = 16.675(3) A, c = 11.061(2) A, beta = 103.91(3) degrees, Z = 4), was prepared by heating (iPrO)4V and hydroquinone in pyridine. Pyridines of adjacent chains interpenetrate to form a sheet, but oxos in adjacent chains are now in opposition.     

New Cd(II)-, Co(II)-, and Cu(II)-containing coordination polymers synthesized by using the rigid ligand 1,2-bis(3-pyridyl)ethyne (3,3'-DPA)

Four new organic/inorganic coordination polymers, [Cd(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)(NO(3))(2)](n)(1), [Co(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)NO(3)CH(3)OH](n)(2), [Cu(C(10)H(8)N(2))(CH(3)OH)(NO(3))(2)](n) (3), and [Cu(C(10)H(8)N(2))(hfac)(2)](n)(4), were synthesized by using the rigid ligand 1,2-bis(3-pyridyl)ethyne (3,3'-DPA). Complex 1 crystallizes in space group P2/n: a = 12.462(2) A, b = 9.485(1) A, c = 13.383(2) A, beta = 96.629(2) degrees, V = 1559.6(3) A(3), Z = 4. Complex 2 crystallizes in space group Fddd: a = 9.248(4) A, b = 19.982(7) A, c = 35.093(16) A, V = 6485.0(4) A(3), Z = 8. Complex 3 crystallizes in space group I2/a: a = 18.315(2) A, b = 8.517(1) A, c = 20.494(3) A, beta = 104.042(2) degrees, V = 3101.2(7) A(3), Z = 8. Complex 4 crystallizes in space group P21/c: a = 6.576(1) A, b = 16.189(1) A, c = 11.653(1) A, beta = 91.337(1) degrees, V = 1240.3(2) A(3), Z = 2. The coordination polymers display a variety of structural architectures, ranging from sinusoidal and zigzag chains (1, 3, 4) to two-dimensional channel-type architectures (2). The effects of the orientation of the nitrogen atom in the pyridine rings on the resultant structures are discussed.
