Abstract: | Reaction of tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) andthe sodium salt of an -ketocarboxylic acid, typically sodium pyruvate, affordsin the presence of a lanthanide ion aseries of complexes and aggregates includingmononuclear, cyclic tetranuclear and polymerspecies of [L1]3- ([L1]3-=N[CH2CH2N=C(CH3)COO-]3).The aggregation of these and related d-block elementcomplexes with Na+ ions leadsto the formation of polymeric materials, and thefactors influencing the formation and controlof these various aggregation states are discussed.Metal cations also template the aggregationof the fragment [Ni(L2)] ([L2]2- =CH2[CH2N = C(CH3)COO-]2)to give, in high yield, the polynuclearaggregates {[Ni(L2)]6M}x+(M = Nd, Pr, Ce, La, x = 3; M = Sr, Ba, x = 2). The structures of{[Ni(L2)]6M}x+ show aninterstitial twelve co-ordinate, icosahedralcation Mx+ encapsulated by six [Ni(L2)]fragments. In the presence ofNa+, aggregation of [Ni(L2)] fragments affords {[Ni(L2)]9Na4(H2O)(MeOH)(ClO4)}3+ thestructure of whichshows four Na+ ions templating the formation ofa distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic[Ni(L2)]9 cage. Thus, control overconstruction of various polynuclear cages viaself-assembly at octahedral junctions can beachieved using main group, transition metaland lanthanide ion templates. |
