The bimetallic complex of Ni₂Co(TTHA)·12H₂O (TTHA = triethylene tetraminehexaacetic acid) was synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. The title complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P ī with a = 0.7316(2), b = 0.8624(2), c = 1.5041(4) nm; α = 73.38(2), β = 83.97(2), γ = 70.50(2)°. The crystal structure is built up of [Ni₂(TTHA)(H₂O)₂]²⁻, Co(H₂O)₆²⁺ and water molecules. The variable magnetic measurement shows that there is strong antiferromagnetic interaction between two Ni(II) ions in [Ni₂(TTHA) (H₂O)₂]²⁻ with J _Ni−Ni = −141.64 cm⁻¹, g _Ni = 2.21 and that the constant of spin-orbit coupling of Co(II) ion is −134.8 cm⁻¹. __________ Translated from Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Nankaiensis, 2007, 40(1): 6–10 [译自: 南开大学学报(自然科学版)]     

Synthesis and crystal structure of the lithium perrhenate monohydrate LiReO4·H2O

A new monohydrate of lithium perrhenate LiReO₄·H₂O was prepared by dehydration of LiReO₄·1.5H₂O at room temperature. The single crystals of LiReO₄·H₂O were obtained by crystallisation from the isoamyl acetate solution of LiReO₄·1.5H₂O. The structure of monohydrate (a=5.6674(4), b=10.771(1), c=7.4738(7) Å, β=102.422(7)°, R₁=0.0414, space group P2₁/a, Z=4) is built up from LiO₃(H₂O)₂ trigonal bipyramids and ReO₄ tetrahedra sharing common edges and corners inside the layers. The layers are connected together by hydrogen bonds. The relationships between the structures of sesquihydrate, monohydrate and anhydrous LiReO₄ are discussed.

Synthesis and crystal structure of KBi(C6H4O7) · 3.5H2O

A novel compound, KBi(C₆H₄O₇) · 3.5H₂O (I), has been synthesized in the Bi(NO₃)₂-K₃(HCit) system (HCit^3? is an anion of citric acid C₆H₈O₇) at a component ratio (n) of 8 in a water-glycerol mixture, and its crystal structure has been determined. The crystals are unstable in air. The crystals are triclinic: a = 7.462 Å, b = 10.064 Å, c = 17.582 Å, α = 100.27°, β = 99.31°, γ = 105.48°, V = 1221.2 ų, Z = 2, space group $P\bar 1$ . In the structure of I, asymmetric binuclear fragments [Bi₂(Cit^4?)₂(H₂O)₂]^2? are linked through inversion centers into polymeric chain anions. Ions K⁺ and crystal water molecules are arranged in channels between the chains. The Bi(1)...Bi(2) distances in the binuclear fragment are 4.62 Å, and the Bi(1)...Bi(1) and Bi(2)...Bi(2) distances between bismuth atoms in the chain are 5.83 and 5.95 Å, respectively. The chains are linked through bridging oxygen atoms of the ligands Cit to form layers. In the centrosymmetric four-membered chelate ring Bi₂O₂ formed through Bi-O(Cit) bonds, the distances Bi(1)-Bi(1) are equal to 4.55 Å, and Bi(1)-O are 2.66 and 2.84 Å. The Bi-O bond lengths in I are in the range 2.12–3.16 Å. The Cit ligands act as hexadentate chelating/bridging ligands.

The chains are further linked together via hydrogen-bonding interactions to construct a three dimensional supramolecular network. The magnetic properties of the complex show that there are weak antiferromagnetic interactions between Ni(II) centers.

Synthesis,crystal structure of Gd(H2O)(C2O4)2 · NH4 and of La(C2O4)2 · NH4. Characterization of the Ln(H2O)(C2O4)2 · NH4 with Ln=Eu…Yb

Single crystals of two lanthanide complexes, presenting similar formula Ln(H₂O)_x(C₂O₄)₂ · NH₄ with Ln=La, x=0 and Ln=Gd, x=1, have been prepared, in closed system at 200 °C. The gadolinium complex is bi-dimensional. A layer is built by the packing of the basic unit, [Gd(C₂O₄)]₄. The gadolinium atoms are related only by bischelating oxalate ligands, the ammonium ion and the water molecule (bound to the gadolinium atom) are localized into the interlayer space. The lanthanum complex is tri-dimensional. The basic building unit remains approximately the same and the packing of these units form a layer. However, within these units, the lanthanum atoms are related by either an oxalate ligand or an edge. Moreover, an oxalate ligand assumes the connection between the layers. The ammonium ion is localized into two sets of intersecting channels. Pure phase of the gadolinium complex has been prepared at 100 °C and extended to some lanthanide elements, Eu…Yb. As the size of the lanthanide ionic radius is decreasing, it is noticeable that the a unit–cell constant follows an expansion pattern while the others two follow an usual contraction one. The thermal behavior of this family shows that the anhydrous compounds are obtained and that some water molecule is sorbed during the cooling. Thus, the anhydrous compounds present a relatively open-framework with some small micropores.     

Synthesis and structure of nalidixium tetrachloroantimonate monohydrate, (C12H13N2O3)SbCl4 · H2O

Nalidixium tetrachloroantimonate monohydrate, (C₁₂H₁₃N₂O₃)SbCl₄ · H₂O, has been synthesized and its crystal structure has been determined. The structure is built of the [Sb₂Cl₈]^2? anions, C₁₂H₁₃N₂O ₃ ⁺ nalidixium cations, and H₂O molecules joint by hydrogen bonds and π-π-and Cl?Cl interactions. The [Sb₂Cl₈]^2? anion is a dimer of the SbCl₅ E distorted octahedra sharing common Cl?Cl edge (E is the lone electron pair). The Sb polyhedra contain two short Sb-Cl bonds (2.387 and 2.395 Å), one bond of a medium length (2.508 Å), and two long bridging bonds (2.745 and 3.054 Å).     

Comparison of the crystal structures of Co2(X 2O7)·2H2O,X=P and As

Summary Crystals of Co₂(X ₂O₇)·2H₂O,X=P/As were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Their crystal structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction:a=6.334(1)/6.531(2),b=13.997(2)/14.206(4),c=7.637(1)/7.615(2)Å, =94.77(2)/94.74(2)°, space group P2₁/n,R=0.032/0.046,R _w=0.028/0.034 for 2423/2042 reflections and 131/119 variables. Within the twoXO₄ tetrahedra connected via a common corner to anX ₂O₇ group the average P-O bond lengths are approximately equal (1.540 and 1.543 Å), but As-O differs significantly (1.685 and 1.696 Å). A comparison with the isotypic Mn and Mg pyrophosphates shows a correlation between the ratio Me-O/X-O and the angle O-X-O.

Zusammenfassung Kristalle von Co₂(X ₂O₇)·2H₂O,X=P/As wurden unter Hydrothermalbedingungen synthetisiert. Ihre Kristallstrukturen wurden mittels Röntgenbeugung an Einkristallen bestimmt:a=6.334(1)/6.531(2),b=13.997(2)/14.206(4),c=7.637(1)/7.615(2) Å, =94.77(2)/97.74(2)°, Raumgruppe P2₁/n,R=0.032/0.046,R _w=0.028/0.034 für 2423/2042 Reflexe und 131/119 Variable. In den beiden über eine gemeinsame Ecke zuX ₂O₇-Gruppen verknüpftenXO₄-Tetraedern sind die mittleren P-O-Abstände ungefähr gleich (1.540 und 1.543 Å), hingegen differiert As-O signifikant (1.685 und 1.696 Å). Ein Vergleich mit den isotypen Mn- und Mg-Pyrophosphaten zeigt eine Korrelation zwischen dem Quotienten Me-O/X-O und dem WinkelX-O-X.

     

Synthesis,structure and magnetic properties of unsymmetrical dodecanuclear Mn–Ln clusters

Reaction of manganese acetate and lanthanide nitrates in the presence of excess of PhCOOH affords highly asymmetric dodecanuclear mixed-metal [Mn₁₀Ln₂(OH)(O)₈(PhCOOH)(PhCOO)₁₉] (Ln = Pr^III (1), Nd^III (2)) clusters. The similar reaction, but with only 2 equiv. of PhCOOH resulted in the compounds with higher nuclearity [Mn₁₁Eu₄(O)₈(OH)₈(PhCOO)₁₈(NO₃)₂(H₂O)₆]NO₃ · 4CH₃CN (3). Variable-temperature solid-state magnetic susceptibility of 1 and 2 in the temperature range 1.8–300 K were carried out, and for both complexes antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the metal centers were observed, giving an estimated S = 17/2 ground state. AC magnetic susceptibility data have revealed out-of-phase signals, which suggest that these complexes exhibit a slow relaxation of magnetization as observed in single-molecule magnets.

Importance of halogen···halogen contacts for the structural and magnetic properties of CuX2(pyrazine-N,N′-dioxide)(H2O)2 (X = Cl and Br)

The structural and magnetic properties of the newly crystallized CuX(2)(pyzO)(H(2)O)(2) (X = Cl, Br; pyzO = pyrazine-N,N'-dioxide) coordination polymers are reported. These isostructural compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c with, at 150 K, a = 17.0515(7) ?, b = 5.5560(2) ?, c = 10.4254(5) ?, β = 115.400(2)°, and V = 892.21(7) ?(3) for X = Cl and a = 17.3457(8) ?, b = 5.6766(3) ?, c = 10.6979(5) ?, β = 115.593(2)°, and V = 950.01(8) ?(3) for X = Br. Their crystal structure is characterized by one-dimensional chains of Cu(2+) ions linked through bidentate pyzO ligands. These chains are joined together through OH···O hydrogen bonds between the water ligands and pyzO oxygen atoms and Cu-X···X-Cu contacts. Bulk magnetic susceptibility measurements at ambient pressure show a broad maximum at 7 (Cl) and 28 K (Br) that is indicative of short-range magnetic correlations. The dominant spin exchange is the Cu-X···X-Cu supersuperexchange because the magnetic orbital of the Cu(2+) ion is contained in the CuX(2)(H(2)O)(2) plane and the X···X contact distances are short. The magnetic data were fitted to a Heisenberg 1D uniform antiferromagnetic chain model with J(1D)/k(B) = -11.1(1) (Cl) and -45.9(1) K (Br). Magnetization saturates at fields of 16.1(3) (Cl) and 66.7(5) T (Br), from which J(1D) is determined to be -11.5(2) (Cl) and -46.4(5) K (Br). For the Br analog the pressure dependence of the magnetic susceptibility indicates a gradual increase in the magnitude of J(1D)/k(B) up to -51.2 K at 0.84 GPa, suggesting a shortening of the Br···Br contact distance under pressure. At higher pressure X-ray powder diffraction data indicates a structural phase transition at ～3.5 GPa. Muon-spin relaxation measurements indicate that CuCl(2)(pyzO)(H(2)O)(2) is magnetically ordered with T(N) = 1.06(1) K, while the signature for long-range magnetic order in CuBr(2)(pyzO)(H(2)O)(2) was much less definitive down to 0.26 K. The results for the CuX(2)(pyzO)(H(2)O)(2) complexes are compared to the related CuX(2)(pyrazine) materials.
