Abstract: | A novel thorium (IV) coordination polymer, Th(C5H2N2O4)2(H2O)2 (1), has been prepared under the hydrothermal reaction of thorium nitrate tetrahydrate and 3,5-pyrazoledicarboxylic acid (H3pdc). Compound 1 (orthorhombic, P212121, a=6.9362(5) Å, b=10.7806(8) Å, c=17.9915(14) Å, Z=2, R1=0.0210, wR2=0.0470) consists of thorium metal centers connected via H3pdc linkages to form an overall three-dimensional structure containing π-π interactions between the pyrazole rings. 2,3-Pyrazinedicarboxylic acid (H2pzdc) was explored as well to (1) study the effect of the location of the carboxylic groups around the aromatic ring and (2) produce heterometallic compounds. Thorium (IV) and copper (II) were combined with H2pzdc, resulting in an interesting decomposition reaction characterized though the isolation of Th(C2O4)2(H2O)2·2H2O (2) (monoclinic, C2/c, a=13.8507(12) Å, b=7.8719(7) Å, c=10.7961(16) Å, β=118.0310(10)°, Z=2, R1=0.0160, wR2=0.0349), Cu(C6H2N2O4) (3) (monoclinic, C2/c, a=11.499(3) Å, b=7.502(2) Å, c=7.402(2) Å, β=93.892(5)°, Z=4, R1=0.0472, wR2=0.0745) and Cu(C5H3N2O2)(NO3)(H2O) (4). The capture of these species provides mechanistic evidence for the formation of the oxalate anions observed in 2 via the decarboxylation of H2pzdc to yield the linker in 4: 2-pyrazinecarboxylate anions. |
