Syntheses, characterization and electrical property of a new silver diphosphonate with zeolite-like framework and three-dimensional silver interactions: [Ag4(O3PCH2CH2PO3)]

A new silver organodiphosphonate, [Ag₄(O₃PCH₂CH₂PO₃)] (1), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR, TGA-DSC, electricity measurement and element analysis. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n (a=6.0115(16) Å, b=8.630(2) Å, c=8.462(2) Å, β=97.693(4)°, Z=2, R₁=0.0604, wR₂=0.1450). 1 contains one-dimensional channels and a three-dimensional Ag?Ag interacted substructural net. TGA and XRD indicate little weight loss up to 300 °C and little structure change after heated at 170 °C for 2 h, respectively. The grain interior conductivity of 1 increases continuously from 50 to 170 °C. Results of EHT calculations show that under thermal or optical excitation the conductivity of 1 is mainly due to transfer of π antibonding electrons of -PO₃ group through O atom to Ag 5s orbital, which also leads to enhancement of Ag?Ag interactions and promotes formation of Ag?Ag substructural net.     

Iron,copper and zinc ammonium-1-hydroxyalkylidene-diphosphonates with zero-, one- and two-dimensional covalent metal–ligand structures extended into three-dimensional supramolecular networks by charge-assisted hydrogen-bonding

Hydrothermal synthesis with MCl₂ (M = Fe, Cu, and Zn) and disodium 5-ammonium-1-hydroxypentylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate, (Na⁺)₂[⁺H₃N(CH₂)₄C(OH)(PO₃²⁻)(PO₃H⁻)] (Na₂HAC₅OHP₂) or sodium 3-ammonium-1-hydroxypropylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate hydrate, Na⁺[⁺H₃N(CH₂)₂C(OH)(PO₃H^–)(PO₃H^–)]·H₂O (NaH₂PAM·H₂O) the sodium salt of pamidronic acid, H₃PAM) yielded the one-dimensional (1D) iron, molecular copper and two-dimensional (2D) zinc compounds 1D-{[Fe(μ₃-η⁵-HAC₅OHP₂)]·H₂O}, 1, [Cu(η²-H₂AC₅OHP₂)₂], 2, 2D-{[Zn₂(μ₅-η⁷-AC₅OHP₂)Cl], 3, and 2D-{[Zn(μ₂-η³-H₂PAM)₂], 4, respectively. The bisphosphonate ligand bridges (μ_n) between 2–5 metal atoms and uses 2–7 oxygen donor atoms towards metal coordination (ηⁿ). The zwitterionic nature of the now bis- or tetrakis-deprotonated ammonium–bisphosphonate is retained in the metal complexes. From the reaction of NiCl₂ and Na₂HAC₅OHP₂ the zwitterionic 5-ammonium-1-hydroxypentylidene-1-phosphonic acid, ⁺H₃N(CH₂)₄CH(OH)PO₃H⁻, 5 was obtained as a product of the ligand P–C bond hydrolysis. Adjacent strands, molecules or layers in 1–4, respectively are organized through the Coulomb attraction between the positive ammonium group and the negative phosphonate groups, supported by hydrogen-bonding. Each protic H atom on the C–OH, NH₃⁺ and –PO₃H⁻ group is involved in charge-assisted hydrogen-bonding. The ammonium-pentylidene groups act as hydrophobic separators between the hydrophilic units with the polar M{C(OH)(PO₃)₂} and {NH₃} units. Bond valence sum calculations support the Fe(II) oxidation state in 1, which was experimentally determined from a quantitative polarographic Fe(II)/Fe(III) speciation analysis as well as a temperature variable magnetic study.     

One-pot synthesis of symmetrical dinucleoside polyphosphates and analogs via 4,5-dicyanoimidazole-promoted tandem P–O coupling reactions

A novel one-pot protocol for the synthesis of symmetrical dinucleoside tri-, tetra-, and pentaphosphates, and their phosphonate analogs simply from nucleoside 5′-phosphoropiperidates has been developed by utilizing 4,5-dicyanoimidazole-promoted tandem P–O coupling reactions.     

Efficient synthesis of nucleoside 5′-triphosphates and their β,γ-bridging oxygen-modified analogs from nucleoside 5′-phosphates

Thirteen nucleoside 5′-triphosphates (NTPs) and their β,γ-bridging oxygen-modified analogs (β,γ-CX₂-NTPs, X = H, F, Cl, and Br) have been efficiently synthesized from nucleoside 5′-phosphoropiperidates with 4,5-dicyanoimidazole as the activator. A high-yielding and chromatography-free protocol for the preparation of both natural and base-modified nucleoside 5′-phosphoropiperidates from the corresponding nucleoside 5′-phosphates was also developed.     

Synthesis,characterization, and crystal structure of a 2-D metal diphosphonate: Cu3(H2O)2[HO3PCH2N(CH3)CH2PO3]2 · 2H2O

Hydrothermal reaction of N-methyl-iminobis(methylenephosphonic acid), CH₃N(CH₂PO₃H₂)₂, (H₄L) with copper(II) acetate afforded a new layered Cu(II) amino diphosphonate, Cu₃(H₂O)₂(HL)₂?·?2H₂O (1). Compound 1 was studied by IR spectroscopy, TGA/DTA data, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The XRD patterns are the same for the hydrated and the dehydrated complexes. A single-crystal X-ray crystallographic determination reveals copper in two different coordination environments. Cu1 has a distorted elongated tetragonal octahedral geometry, whereas Cu2 has a square-pyramidal distorted geometry. The HL trianion is a pentadentate ligand with a deprotonated nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms of each phosphonate binding to copper. Hydrogen bonds between lattice water molecules in interlayer spaces and the non-coordinated phosphonate oxygen atoms as well as water ligands leads to a 3-D supramolecular network structure.     

Formation of helix-containing rods in a hybrid inorganic–organic material

The novel aluminum ethylenediphosphonate fluoride, [HN(CH₂CH₂NH₃)₃][Al₂(O₃PCH₂CH₂PO₃)₂F₂]·H₂O (1) (monoclinic, P2₁/n, a=12.145(4) Å, b=9.265(3) Å, c=20.422(6) Å, β=104.952(4)°, Z=3, R₁=0.092, wR₂=0.196) has been synthesized by solvothermal methods in the presence of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine and its structure determined using single microcrystal X-ray diffraction data. Compound 1 is a one-dimensional extended chain structure composed of well-separated anionic [Al₂(O₃PCH₂CH₂PO₃)₂F₂]⁴⁻ rods containing helical chains of corner-shared cis-AlO₄F₂ octahedra at their core. The charge-compensating tris(2-aminoethyl)ammonium cations separate the anionic [Al₂(O₃PCH₂CH₂PO₃)₂F₂]⁴⁻ rods that contain either left- or right-handed helical chains. The incorporation of the organic components into this hybrid material has aided the adoption of one-dimensionality by the compound and defined the pitch of the helical AlO₄F chain.     

Synthesis and Structure of a Three‐dimensional Organically Templated Zinc Ethylenediphosphonate, [NH3(CH2)2NH3][Zn3{O3P(CH2)2}4]

A hydrothermal reaction of a mixture of ZnO, HCl, ethylenediphosphonic acid, ethylenediamine, acetic acid in a water, THF mixture gave rise to a new three‐dimensional zinc ethylenediphosphonate, [NH₃(CH₂)₂NH₃][Zn₃{O₃P(CH₂)₂}₄], I . The structure, determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction, (monoclinic, space group = C2/c, a = 16.9948(14), b = 6.7383(6), c = 16.8886(14)Å, β = 1113.568(1)°, V = 1772.7(3)ų, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0227, wR₂ = 0.0601), consists of a network of strictly alternating ZnO₄ and PO₃C tetrahedral units linked through their vertices forming the three‐dimensional structure. The amine molecules occupy the middle of the 8‐membered channels and interact with the framework through the hydrogen bonds. Unlike other zinc diphosphonates, I appear to have close similarity to zinc phosphate structures reported in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first three‐dimensional zinc diphosphonate prepared in the presence of an organic amine molecule.

Compound 1 crystallizes in the Pnma space group and compound 2 crystallizes in the P2₁2₁2 space group. They display square‐grid layer and bilayer two‐dimensional network, respectively.     

Synthesis and characterization of two novel pyridine-containing framework gallium ethylenediphosphonates

Two novel gallium diphosphonates, (C₅H₅N)Ga₃F(O₃PC₂H₄PO₃)₂ (I) (triclinic, P-1, a=8.2880(12) Å, b=11.7197(16) Å, c=11.7601(17) Å, α=71.589(3)°, β=70.577(3)°, γ=77.313(3)°, V=1013.7(2) Å³, Z=2, R₁=0.0352, wR₂=0.0980) and (C₅H₅NH)₂[Ga₄F₂(O₃PC₂H₄PO₃)₃] (II) (triclinic, P-1, a=8.670(4) Å, b=9.742(3) Å, c=10.406(2) Å, α=81.44(3)°, β=65.83(5)°, γ=67.16(3)°, V=739.0(4) Å³, Z=2, R₁=0.0600, wR₂=0.1495) have been synthesised by solvothermal methods in the presence of pyridine and their structures determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Both compounds I and II are composed of various Ga-centered polyhedra and ethylenediphosphonate groups that link together to form framework materials with one- and two-dimensional channel systems, respectively. The two structures are formed in the presence of structure-directing pyridine molecules that are directly bound to some of the Ga atoms in I, and are protonated as pyridinium cations in II. Compounds I has a charge-neutral framework, while compound II has an anionic framework. Both materials provide rare examples of organically structure-directed framework metal diphosphonate materials.
