Hydrothermal synthesis,structures and properties of metal phosphonates based on m-xylylenediphosphonic acid

In this work, a series of new metal phosphonates were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized based on m-xylylenediphosphonic acids （H4L）, including [M（H2L）（bpy）] （M = Mn 1, Co 2）, [MH2L）（phen）] （M = Co 3, Cu 4）, and [Cu2（H2L）2（bpy＂）2] 5 （bpy = 2,2＇-bipyfidine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy＂ = 4,4＇-dimethyl-2,2＇- bipyridine）. X-ray diffraction indicated that compounds 1 and 2 were isomorphic. Complexes 3 and 4 were shown to crystallize in different space groups but had similar crystallographic units. In the complexes, H4L was seen to partially deprotonate to afford H2L^2-. The H2L^2- ligands in 1-4 functioned as tetradentate ligands with each phosphonate group adopting bidentate coordination mode with two M centers to generate a 2D layer. In addition, the H2L^2- anions in 5 functioned as tfidentate ligands with one phosphonate group adopting the bidentate mode and another phosphonate group adopting the monodentate mode, thus linking three Cu atoms to provide a 1D chain. The IR and thermal stabilities of these compounds were subsequently examined.     

A new 3-D Gd-Cu heterometallic polymer [Gd2Cu3（bpy）2- （ip）6]·6H2O with a non-interpenetrated α-Po net

A new 3-D porous Gd-Cu heterometallic polymer [Gd2Cu3（bpy）2- （ip）6]·6H2O （1） （bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, H2ip = isophthalic acid） has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1and displays a 3-D non-interpenetrated α-Po net- work with 1-D channels filled transversely by the hexa-nuclear chain-like （H2O）6. The EPR and thermal stability of 1 were investigated.     

Cryptomelane（KxMn8-xO16）： Natural active octahedral molecular sieve（OMS-2）

The Xiangtan manganese deposit (XTM) used to be considered a supergene oxide manganese ore in South China. We reported a new identification of the naturally outcropping cryptomelane by examining the physical, chemical and structural features of the XTM supergene oxide manganese ore. The MnO2 content was over 90%, K2O more than 3%, and water from 2.2%-3.1% which is similar to one in zeolite. The cell parameters of the cryptomelane were given as a0 = 0.9974 nm, b0 = 0.2863 nm, c0 = 0.9693 nm and β= 91.47°. There was a larger pseduotetragonal tunnel in the natural cryptomelane that was formed by [MnO6] octahedral double chains with aperture of 0.462×0.466 nm2, filled with K cations resulting in some Mn3+ substituting for Mn4+ to balance the negative charges of structure. The finding is important not only for prospecting manganese resources in South China, but also in application of octahedral molecular sieve of natural cryptomelane as that developed in the tetragonal molecular sieve of natural zeolite o     

Three new zinc（Ⅱ） coordination polymers： Modulation of extended structures driven by assistant ligands

Three new complexes, [Zn（dtb）（4,4′-bipy）]·5H2O （1）, [Zn（dtb）（bpp）]·H2O （2） and [Zn（dtb）（phen）2]·CH3- CH2OH·H2O （3） （dtb = 5,5′-dithiobis（2-nitrobenzoic acid）, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, bpp = 1,3-bi（4-pyridyl） propane, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline）, have been constructed by dtb ligand and zinc salt in the presence of different assistant N-containing ligands under hydrothermal conditions. The structures of the complexes were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Although compounds 1 and 2 are both 2D networks, the cavities＇ forms and pitch of helix are different. The structure of compound 3 shows a 1D helical chain, and is extended by the supermolecule interactions into a 2D framework. These neutral polymeric complexes exhibit structural and dimensional diversity due to the different coordination modes of the flexible dtb ligand and the effect of assistant ligands.     

Palladium（ Ⅱ ） and Platinum（ Ⅱ ） Compounds Derived From Potentially Terdentate Ligands

Transition metal complexes derived from potentially terdentate ligands have attracted great interest in the late years. Among all the examples described so far, those containing palladium（ Ⅱ ） or platinum（ Ⅱ ） and ligands holding three heteroatoms with different donor abilities are particularly relevant. In compounds of this kind, the potential hemilability of one of the terminal σ（M-donor atom） bonds, plays an important role in the view of their applications in homogeneous catalysis. On the other hand, it is well-known that in dimetallic complexes the presence of two different metals in a close vicinity may influence their mutual cooperation in a wide variety of processes. Besides that, some examples of the utility of chiral palladium（ Ⅱ ） as well as platinum（ Ⅱ ） complexes as precursors for organic and/or organometallic synthesis, as chiral recognitors or discriminators, or even in Bio-Medicine have also been reported. However, chiral heterodimetallic compounds holding ferrocenyl units and potentially terdentate ligands are scarce.     

Synthesis,structure and catalytic behavior of yttrium complexes bearing a diaminobis（phenolate） ligand

Yttrium complexes stabilized by a diaminobis（phenolate） ligand were synthesized and their catalytic behavior was explored. Reaction of YCI3 with 1 equiv of LNa2 [L= Me2NCH2CH2N{CH2-（2-O-C6H2-^1Bu2-3,5）}2] gave the yttrium chloride LYCI（THF） （1） in 92% yield. Complex I can be used as starting material to prepare the yttrium amido derivative. Complex 1 reacted with 1 equiv of LiNPh2 in THF to afford the expected yttrium amido complex LYNPh2 （2） in high yield. Both of complexes 1 and 2 have been well detected by elemental analysis, NMR spectra and single-crystal X-ray analysis. It was found that complex 2 can efficiently initiate the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide and ε-caprolactone, and a controlled manner is observed in the former case.

New crystal structure of molecular complex 1-piperidine carboxylate-piperidinium-H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O studied by X-ray single crystal diffraction

Piperidine absorbs CO2 and H2O in air to form a molecular complex： piperidium-l-piperidinecarboxylate-H2O. The structure of the complex was characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal structure was determined to be triclinic, space group P1^-with a=0.648 6（8） nm, b=0.809 200） nm, c= 1.357 1（16） nm, a=96.96706）°, β =102.506（15）°,γ=104.202 05）°, Z=2. The complex is stabilized via five hydrogen bonds between the three components, N-O electrostatic interaction and O-O interaction （electron transfer） betweenl-piperidinecarboxylate and H2O. Due to electron transference of carbamate ion, the oxygen atom in water molecule is strongly negatively charged and the O-H bond is considerably shorter than that of the free molecule of water. The formation of the molecular complex is a reversible process and will decompose upon heating. The mechanism of formation and stabilization is further investigated herein.     

Crystal structure and surface photo-electric property of Mn（Ⅱ） coordination supramolecules

Two Mn（Ⅱ） coordination supramolecules, [Mn2（C8HTO2）4（phen）2（p-H20）] （1） and [Mn2（btec）（phen）2（H2O）6]·2H2O （2） （phen=1,10-phenanthroline, H4btec=1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid）, were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The crystal structures of the complexes were determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The result indicates that （1） and （2） are both binuclear Mn（Ⅱ） complexes. The existence of hydrogen bonds makes the binuclear complexes become further connected to coordination supramolecules, which possess 1D and 3D infinite structures respectively. The complexes were identified by IR, UV-Vis, surface photovoltage spectrum （SPS） and field-induced surface photovoltage spectrum （FISPS）. The results of SPS for the complexes indicate that they both exhibit positive surface photovoltage response bands in the range of 300-600 nm. The SPS phase spectrum and FISPS of complexes indicate that they show certain p-type semiconductor characteristic. However, the intensity, position and number of the SPV response bands are different obviously. The difference of the SPV response bands is mainly attributed to the different structures of the complexes and the different coordination environment of Mn（ll） in the two complexes. This paper discusses the action of hydrogen bonds in the construction of the supramolecule and the change on the surface photovoltage of complex in different coordination environment.

After the structure parameter refinement, the R-factor reduced to 0.0515. The crystal structure analysis indicates that omphacite has a new space group-Pn space group.     

Syntheses and lyotropic liquid crystal properties of a series of sandwich-type tungstoarsenates heteropoly compounds with As/W ratio of 4/30

A series of sandwich-type tungstoarsenates heteropoly compounds with As/W ratio of 4/30, Na16[As4W30M4(H2O)2O112]·XH2O (M = Zn,Cu,Co,Ni,Mn and Cd), have been synthesized for the first time and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 183W NMR spectra. The crystal structure of Na16[As4W30Cu4(H2O)2O112]·63H2O was determined to be a triclinic system, of P1 symmetry, a = 1.2721(3) nm, b = 2.451 6(5) nm, c = 2.6450(5) nm, α= 89.90(3)°,β= 77.32(3)°, γ= 89.96(3)°, 2=2. Using tetrahepty lammonium bromide as a phase transfer reagent, [As4W30Cu4(H2O)2O112]16- was transferred from aqueous solution to organic phase (benzene), and the heteropolyanion lost the coordination water molecules to form the coordination-unsaturated ion. After lactic acid was added to the benzene solution, the coordination-saturation was recovered. By esterification reaction between lactic acid and cholesterin, the latter was attached to the heteropolyanion indirectly. Therefore, a new type of lyotropic liquid crystal was obtained, which was characterized by a polarimicroscope, DSC and variable temperature wide-angle X-ray diffraction.
