Crystal structure of a new complex of [3-(1 H -benzimidazol-yl)propionato- N ][3-(1 H -benzimidazol-yl) propionic acid- N ]silver(I), C20H19AgN4O4

The silver and acid hydrogen atoms in the crystal structure of [Ag(pa)(Hpa)] _n (Hpa?=?3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl) propionic acid-N) both lie on special positions of ?1 site symmetry; the silver atom shows linear coordination [Ag–N?=?2.109(3)?Å, N–Ag–N?=?180°]. The ‘acid hydrogen’ links molecules into a linear chain, and hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen-bound hydrogen atom and the carbonyl oxygen atom of an adjacent chain furnish a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. The compound, C₂₀H₁₉AgN₄O₄, belongs to the triclinic space group P 1 [a?=?6.536(7), b?=?8.127(9), c?=?9.051(1)?Å; α?=?81.692(2), β?=?82.819(2), γ?=?87.229(2)°], and there is one formula unit in the unit cell.

Syntheses and crystal structures of two cadmium coordination polymers [Cd(2-mBIM)(NCS)(SCN)] n and [Cd2(2-mBIM)2(NO3)2(C4H4O4)(H2O)5] n based on bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methane

Two cadmium(II) coordination polymers, [Cd(2-mBIM)(NCS)(SCN)] _n (1) and [Cd₂(2-mBIM)₂(NO₃)₂(C₄H₄O₄)(H₂O)₅] _n (2) (2-mBIM = bis(2-methylimidazo-1-yl)methane, C₄H₄O₄= succinate), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 9.0770(5) Å, b = 9.4043(4) Å, c = 19.8720(9) Å, α = 101.551(1)°, β = 93.498(1)°, γ = 108.484(1)°, V = 1562.02(13) ų, and Z = 2. Each Cd(II) is octahedrally coordinated and connected with two adjacent Cd(II)'s by double end-to-end thiocyanate bridges, resulting in the formation of 1-D zigzag chains, linked to each other via bridging 2-mBIM giving a 2-D supramolecular framework. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 12.6543(6) Å, b = 7.7128(4) Å, c = 17.3089(9) Å, β = 109.3980(10)°, V = 1593.45(14) ų, and Z = 2. Cd(II) is coordinated with oxygen and nitrogens from two independent 2-mBIM, in a cis-configuration to form a 1-D helical structure. A 3-D supramolecular network comprised of succinate anion bridged 1-D helical chains, and weak hydrogen bonds between dimer waters gave 2-D layers.     

A series of new hybrid compounds constructed from Dawson-type phosphomolybdates and metal–organic coordination complexes

In this study, a series of compounds based on Dawson-type phosphomolybdates, H₃(C₆NO₂H₆)₂[K(H₂O)₃(C₆NO₂H₅)₃][P₂Mo₁₈O₆₂] ? 5.5H₂O (1), (C₆NO₂H₆)₆[Ln(H₂O)₇(C₆NO₂H₅)₂]₂[P₂Mo₁₈O₆₂]₂·13.5H₂O (Ln = Ce (2), La (3)) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy methods, TG analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 consists of [P₂Mo₁₈O₆₂]^6? building units joined by potassium-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid complexes, resulting in a wavelike polyoxometalate (POM) chain, which further interacts with each other via intermolecular interactions to form a 3-D supramolecular channel framework containing guest water molecules. Compounds 2 and 3 possess a 3-D supramolecular framework with 1-D tunnel constructed from [P₂Mo₁₈O₆₂]^6? and mononuclear lanthanide coordination complex fragments. To the best of our knowledge, 1 not only represents the first example of 1-D hybrid assembly based on Dawson-type phosphomolybdate, but also the first hybrid compound constructed from Dawson-type POMs and alkali–metal coordination complex fragments.

A dinuclear copper(II) compound, [Cu(btssb)(H₂O)]₂ · 4(H₂O) (1), and a 1-D chain copper(II) compound, [Cu(ctssb)(H₂O)] _n (2) [where H₂btssb is 2-[(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-benzylidene)-amino]-ethanesulfonic acid and H₂ctssb is 2-[(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy-benzylidene)-amino]-ethanesulfonic acid], were prepared and characterized. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with a = 10.109(2) Å, b = 20.473(4) Å, c = 6.803(1) Å, β = 100.32(3)°, V = 1385.1(5) ų, and Z = 2; R ₁ for 1796 observed reflections [I > 2σ(I)] was 0.0357. The geometry around each copper(II) can be described as slightly distorted square pyramidal. The Cu^II ··· Cu^II distance is 5.471(1) Å. Compound 1 formed a 1-D network through O–H ··· O hydrogen bonds and 1-D water chains exist. The 1-D chain complex 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1, with a = 5.030(2) Å, b = 7.725(2) Å, c = 17.011(5) Å, α = 92.706(4)°, β = 97.131(4)°, γ = 102.452(3)°, V = 638.6(3) ų, and Z = 2; R ₁ for 1897 observed reflections [I > 2σ(I)] was 0.0171. In 2, Cu(II) was also a slightly distorted square pyramid formed by two oxygens and one nitrogen from ctssb, one oxygen from another ctssb, and one water molecule. The complex formed a 1-D chain through O–S–O bridge of ctssb ligand. The 1-D chain further constructed a double chain through O?H ··· O hydrogen bonds.     

Partitioning behaviour of organic compounds between ionic liquids and supercritical fluids

Applications and prospects of two-phase, tuneable solvent systems composed of ionic liquids (ILs) and supercritical fluids with an emphasis on supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) are reviewed. The IL-scCO(2) biphasic systems have increasingly been used in diverse fields of chemistry and technology, and some examples of these applications are mentioned here. Rational design of such applications can obviously benefit from pertinent data on phase equilibria including the partition coefficients of the prospective products and reactants between the two phases. Therefore, a reliable technique to measure the limiting partition coefficients would be of value. Here, the pros and cons of supercritical fluid chromatography in this respect are discussed. An overview of methods for predictive thermodynamic modelling of binary (IL-scCO(2)) and ternary (solute-IL-scCO(2)) systems is also included.     

Light-driven fluorescence enhancement of phenylazo indazole-terminated polystyrene

The well-defined phenylazo indazole-terminated polystyrene (PS) was successfully prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of styrene (St) mediated by a novel chain transfer agent (CTA) bearing phenylazo indazole moieties in the Z group, benzyl-5-(4-(dimethylamino)phenylazo) indazole-1-carbodithioate (BPCD). The fluorescence emission of BPCD and the phenylazo indazole-terminated PS in chloroform (CHCl₃) before and after the 365 nm ultraviolet irradiation was investigated. Interestingly, the fluorescence intensities of BPCD and the phenylazo indazole-terminated PS in CHCl₃ were both sensitive to the 365 nm ultraviolet irradiation. The fluorescence intensities of these solutions increased with the irradiation time and reached maximum at 110 min. The light-driven fluorescence enhancement of BPCD and the phenylazo indazole-terminated PS were both attributed to the formation of spherical aggregate originated from the trans-cis isomerization of azobenzene moieties in BPCD and PS chain, which was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ¹H NMR, UV and dynamic light scattering (DLS) spectra.

A Novel Inorganic-organic Hybrid Borate with Unique One-dimensional Infinite Aluminium-oxygen Chains

A novel inorganic-organic hybrid borate,[Al2(fum)(H3BO3)(OH) 4]n·n(H3BO3) (1,H2fum = fumaric acid) ,has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction,FTIR and elemental analysis. Crystal data for compound 1: orthorhombic,space group Pnma,a = 14.108(3) ,b = 6.9412(14) ,c = 14.995(3) ,V = 1468.3(5) 3,Z = 4,Mr = 359.72,Dc = 1.627 g/cm3,μ = 0.254 mm-1,F(000) = 736,the final R = 0.0492 and wR = 0.1650 with I > 2σ(I) . In compound 1,each AlⅢ ion is coordinated by six oxygen atoms to adopt a distorted octahedral geometry. Both fumarate anion and the coordinated boric acid act as bidentate bridging ligands to link two neighboring AlⅢ centers simultaneously. Each AlⅢ ion is bridged by two μ2-hydroxyl ligands to construct an infinite wave-like [Al2(fum)(H3BO3)(OH) 4]n chain. These one-dimensional chains form hydrogen bonds with free boric acid molecules giving rise to a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
