A new one-dimensional hybrid material lattice: AC conductivity and structural characterization of [C<Subscript>7</Subscript>H<Subscript>12</Subscript>N<Subscript>2</Subscript>][CdCl<Subscript>4</Subscript>]

The present paper reports the synthesis, crystal structure, ¹³C and ¹¹¹Cd cross-polarization magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance(CP-MAS-NMR) analysis and ac conductivity for a new organic–inorganic hybrid salt, [C₇H₁₂N₂][CdCl₄]. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P\( \overline 1 \), with unit cell dimensions: a?=?7.1050(3) Å, b?=?8.9579(3) Å, c?=?9.4482(3) Å, α?=?81.415(1)°, β?=?89.710(2)°, γ?=?85.765(1)°, V?=?592.97(4) Å³, and Z?=?2. The asymmetric unit is composed of one-2,4-diammonium toluene cation and one [CdCl₄]^2? anion. The Cd atom is in a slightly distorted octahedra coordination environment. Its structure can be described by infinite chains of CdCl₆ octahedron linked to organic cations by a strong charge-assisted N–H???Cl interactions in order to build organic–inorganic layers staked along \( \left[ {0\overline 1 1} \right] \) direction. The solid state ¹³C CP-MAS-NMR spectra has shown seven isotropic resonances, confirming the existence of seven non-equivalent carbon atoms, which is consistent with crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction. As for ¹¹¹Cd MAS-NMR, it has shown one cadmium site with isotropic chemical shift observed at 167.2 ppm. The complex impedance of the compound has been investigated in the temperature range of 403–460 K and in the frequency range of 200 Hz–5 MHz. The impedance plots have shown semicircle arcs at different temperatures and an electrical equivalent circuit has been proposed to explain the impedance results. The circuits consist of the parallel combination of bulk resistance R _p and constant phase elements.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of one-dimensional azide-bridged Mn(III) polymer [Mn(BrSal2MePn)(μ1,3-N3)]n (BrSaI2MePn = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-propanediamine)

A new one-dimensional manganese(III) Schiff base complex [Mn(BrSal₂MeĐn)(μ_1,3-N₃)] _n (I) was synthesized by the reaction of MnCl₂ · 6H₂O with the Schiff base ligand H₂BrSal₂MeĐn condensed from 2,2-dimethylpropylenediamine with 5-bromosalicylaldehyde and was characterized by elemental analyses and FT-IR spectroscopy. The molecular structure of I has been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In this structure, the Mn³⁺ ion is in a distorted octahedral geometry with an obvious Jahn-Teller effect, where the deprotonated tetradentate Schiff-base ligand BrSal₂MePn²⁻ is bound in the equatorial plane and the N₃⁻ anions show μ_1,3-bridging mode in the axial direction.     

Chemoselective preparation of disymmetric bistriazoles from bisalkynes

Best of both worlds, molecules bearing two alkyne groups, activated and unactivated, can selectively react on the activated one in a copper-free version of Huisgen’s reaction to form a first triazole ring, with a good selectivity toward the 1,4-isomer, which is solely isolated by a simple trituration procedure. The other alkyne function is then submitted to the selective reaction using a polymer-supported copper(I) catalyst to form a second triazole ring. This gave access to disymmetric bistriazoles without the need of protection using simple, easy, and fast procedures.     

[Cu2(μ-(3,4,5-meo-ba)2bn)(μ-I)2]n, a new 1D polymeric copper(I) chain Synthesis, crystal structure, spectral and thermal studies

New 1D-chain copper(I) complex [Cu₂(μ-(3,4,5-MeO-ba)₂bn)(μ-I)₂] _n (1), where (3,4,5-MeO-ba)₂bn = N,N′-bis(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-butane-1,4-diamine, involving a new bidentate Schiff-base containing a flexible spacer (=N–C–C–C–C–N=) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses (CHN) and FT-IR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 1 was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and shows the (3,4,5-MeO-ba)₂en acts as a bridging ligand with the nitrogen atoms of the two imine functions and leading to the dinuclear [Cu₂((μ-(3,4,5-MeO-ba)₂en)] groups. Such dinuclear [Cu₂((μ-(3,4,5-MeO-ba)₂en)] groups are bridged by two iodine anions [(μ-I)₂] to form a neutral 1D-chain copper(I) iodide coordination polymer. The coordination polyhedron about the copper(I) center in 1 is best described as a distorted trigonal planar. Thermogravimetric analyses reveal the thermal stability and decomposition pattern of 1.     

Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of tetranuclear copper(II) complex [Cu4(μ-Salophen)2(μ1,1-N3)2(N3)2] with alternating μ1,1-azido and phenoxo bridges

Tetranuclear copper(II) complex [Cu₄(??-Salophen)₂(??_1,1-N₃)₂(N₃)₂] (I) has been synthesized from the reaction of Cu(NO₃)₂ · 3H₂O with the Schiff-base ligand salophen condensed from salicylaldehyde and 1,2-phenylenediamine at the presence of a large excess of NaN₃, which has been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction studies show that I is a tetranuclear Cu(II) complex with a pair of end-on (EO) azido ions bridging the copper(II) ions in a central Cu(??_1,1-N₃)₂Cu core and one phenoxo bridging the copper(II) ions in a Cu(??-Salophen)Cu core. All copper(II) ions in I are four coordinated and adopt approximate square planar coordination geometry.     

exo-Diastereoisomer of 10-aryl-1,4,7-triazabicyclo[5.2.1]decane as intermediary in specific derivatisation of triazacyclononane

Reaction of triazacyclononane (tacn) and aromatic aldehydes leads to aminal adducts, which exhibit only the exo configuration. In these aminal compounds, secondary amine function possesses a higher reactivity towards electrophilic reactants than the two nitrogen atoms linked to aminal carbon, giving rise to the specific derivatisation of tacn by different functionalised groups. Study of this behaviour also permits the access to a ditopic tacn–cyclam bicyclic polyamine.     

Tetranuclear manganese(II) complexes of sulfonylcalix[4]arene macrocycles: synthesis, structure, spectroscopic and magnetic properties

Two tetranuclear manganese(II) complexes {K(+)[Mn(4)(ThiaSO(2))(2)(OH)](-)} (1) and {K(+)[Mn(4)(ThiaSO(2))(2)(F)](-)} (2) have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions in methanol with p-tert-butylsulfonylcalix[4]arene (ThiaSO(2)). For both complexes, the structure has been established from single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The two complexes are best described as manganese squares sandwiched between two thiacalixarene macrocycles. In both complexes, in the center of the square formed by the four manganese(II) atoms, the unexpected presence of μ(4)-OH(-) or μ(4)-F(-) gives a negative charge to the cluster. The two tetranuclear complexes exhibit strong orange luminescence behavior resulting from the symbiosis between the ThiaSO(2) and the Mn(2+). Despite similar chemical formulation, (1) and (2) present difference in emission intensity and lifetime τ.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, and spectroscopic study of K0.92(2) Zn0.08(2) H1.92(2) (PO4) (Zn-KDP)

The structure of K0.92₍₂₎ Zn_0.08(2) H_1.92(2) (PO₄) was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the Zn-KDP belonged to the tetragonal space group $ \mathrm{I}\overline{4}2\mathrm{d} $ , with cell parameters of a?=?b?=?7.4487(5)?Å and c?=?6.9703(5)?Å, 386.73(5) Å3, Z?=?4, and R?=?0.023. Zn²⁺ ions were used as substitutes for K⁺ ions with hydrogen vacancy. The Zn-KDP single crystals were submitted to further Raman, infrared, and ¹H NMR studies to investigate chemical group functionalisation, possible bonding between the organic and inorganic materials, and partial substitution of K⁺ by Zn²⁺. The latter partial substitution was confirmed by the deviation of IR frequencies for O–H stretching, the variation of IR and Raman frequencies for stretching and bending vibrations ν(PO₄) of H₂PO₄, and the appearance of additional Raman (147, 386 and 481 cm^?1) vibrational bands. Electrical conductivity measurements were performed on polycrystalline pellets of Zn-KDP and pure KDP at room temperatures (RT) of up to 473K. In both cases, a conductivity jump close to 453K was observed, and a stronger increase of conductivity was measured.     

Topological Soliton and Other Exact Solutions to KdV–Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon Equation

This paper studies the KdV–Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon equation. The modified F-expansion method, exp-function method as well as the G′/G method are used to extract a few exact solutions to this equation. Later, the ansatz method is used to obtain the topological 1-soliton solution to this equation. The constraint conditions are also obtained that must remain valid for the existence of these solutions.
