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.     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Fluorescence Properties of Two 2D→2D Coordination Polymers Based on the Flexible 4-Substituted Bis(1,2,4-triazole) Ligand

Two new 2 D → 2 D zinc(II) coordination polymers, [Zn(btre)0.5(nbdc)(H2 O)]n(1) and {[Zn(btre)0.5(Me Oip)(H2 O)2]·H2 O}n(2)(btre = 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)ethane, nbdc=3-nitro-1, 2-benzenedicarboxylate, Me Oip=4-methoxybenzene-1, 3-dicarboxylate) were synthesized at room temperature condition and characterized by IR spectra, elemental analyses, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffractions. Three sets of equivalent 2 D(6, 3) networks parallel polycatenated with each other to give a 2 D → 2 D network in 1 and 2. There are strong π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding interactions between adjacent parallel polycatenated 2 D(6, 3) network in 1. Only hydrogen bonding interactions exist in 2. Thermal stabilities and luminescence of 1 and 2 were investigated.     

New structure model of oxygen-evolving center and mechanism for oxygen evolution in photosynthesis

So far, many important questions and problems concerning the structure and mechanism of photosynthetic oxygen evolution are still unsolved. On the basis of recent achievements in this field, a new structure model is proposed whereby two H2O molecules bind asymmetrically to two manganese ions (Mn1Ⅱ and Mn4Ⅲ) at the open end of "C" shaped cluster and keep rather large distance. Two histidine residues coordinate to the other two manganese ions in higher oxidation state (Mn2Ⅳ and Mn3Ⅳ ) through their nitrogen atoms of the imidazole. Cl bound as terminal ligand to Mn4Ⅲl is connected to Ca, and the latter is needed to maintain the special configuration of two Mn2O2 units by bridged-oxo and bridged-carboxylate ligands. The whole structure of oxygen evolution center is asymmetry. A new mechanism for oxygen evolution invokes predictions of asymmetric oxidation of two H2O molecules, dynamic structural changes of oxygen e-volving center and indirect proton transport, etc. Only in S2 state, could Mn1Ⅳ = O. intermediate with high oxidation potential be formed. The S2→S3 process occurs with significant structural changes, as well as intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen transfer. The S3 state corresponds to intermediate of Mn1Ⅳ-O… H… O-Mn4Ⅳ . During S3→ [S4] →S0, the O-O bond is formed only in S4 state. The change of nucleophilic interaction between Cl and manganese ions different oxidation states has consequence for the significant structural changes in H2O oxidation process.     

Synthesis and characterization of N-aryloxo-functiona- lized β-ketoiminate rare-earth complexes and their catalytic activity for the polymerization of ε-caprolactone

The synthesis and characterization of dimeric rare-earth amides stabilized by a dianionic N-aryloxo functionalized ,8-ketoiminate ligand are described. Reactions of 4-（2-hydroxy-5-methyl-phenyl） imino-2-pentanone （LH2） with Ln[N（SiMe3）2]3（μ-Cl）Li（THF）3 in a 1：1 molar ratio in THF gave the dimeric rare-earth amido complexes [LLn{N（SiMe3）2}（THF）]2 [Ln = Nd （1）, Sm （2）, Yb （3）, Y （4）]. These complexes were well characterized, and the definitive molecular structures of complexes 3 and 4 were determined. It was found that complexes 1-4 can initiate the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone, and the ionic radii of the central metals have significant effect on the catalytic activity.     

Synthesis, structure and superoxide dismutase activity of two self-assembly transition metal complexes containing a tridentate amino-Schiff base deviating from salicylaldehyde with glycine

Two new transition metal （Cu, Ni） complexes with amino-Schiff base ligand, （CgH7NO3）Cu（C14H12N2）.H2O （1） and （C9HTNO3）Ni（C3H4N2）3.H2O （2）, have been designed and synthesized in ethanol solution at room temperature. Both of the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, UV-vis spectroscopy and X-ray single crystal diffraction. For complex 1, the coordination environment of the central copper atom is a distorted square pyramid, and one-dimensional chain is formed through the inter-molecular hydrogen bonds （O4-H2W…O3, O4…H2W…O3#1 （#1： -x＋1, y, -z＋3/2）） and weak interactions （∏-∏ stacking interaction） between the phenyl rings. For complex 2, the nickel atom is 6-coordinated and in a distorted octahedral environment, and a discrete hydrogen-bond cluster （four molecules are connected by hydrogen bonds into a group） is formed via two types of intra-molecular hydrogen bonds （O-H...O, N-H...O） and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds （O-H...O, N-H...O）.     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures and Photoluminescence Properties of Two Cadmium(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymers

The solvothermal reaction of CdCl_2·2.5 H_2O with terephthalic acid yields two new three-dimensional(3 D) cadmium(II) coordination polymers(CPs), namely {[Cd(C_8H_4O_4)Cl]·C_2H_8N}_n and [Cd(C_8H_4O_4)]_n, we use the abbreviations CP1 and CP2 to refer to them, respectively. The compounds are characterized in detail by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). The results indicate that compounds CP1 and CP2 are 3 D frameworks, and both the compounds feature a uninodal 4-connected framework with a dia net. The empty spaces of such 3 D framework are filed by the other two identical frameworks, leading to a 3-fold interpenetrated network. In addition, the photochemical properties of the frameworks are also investigated. The two frameworks show strong solid-state fluorescence emission at 463 and 503 nm, respectively, which are obvious red-shift compared to the emission of ligand.     

Lithium bond structures of HnY （n=2, 3; Y=O,S, N）…LiNH2 and the abnormal blue shift of N-Li bond

The optimized geometries of the complexes between HnY （n=2, 3; Y=O, S, N） and LiNH2 have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-311＋＋G^＊＊ and MP2/6-311＋＋G^＊＊ levels. Three stable complexes were obtained. Frequency analysis showed that the enlarged 2N-4Li presents the abnormal blue shift in three complexes. The calculated binding energy with basis set super-position error （BSSE） and zero-point vibrational energy （ZPE） corrections of complex Ⅰ-Ⅲ is -58.65, -31.66 and -69.59 kJ·mol^-1 （MP2）, respectively. Natural bond orbital theory （NBO） analysis has been performed, and the results revealed that the H2O…LiNH2 （complex I） and H3N…LiNH2 （complex Ⅲ） are formed with coexisting σ-s and n-s type lithium bond interactions, complex Ⅱ is formed with ττ-s type lithium bond interaction between HnY （n=2,3; Y=O, N） and LiNH2, and H2S…LiNH2 （complex Ⅱ） is formed with n-s type lithium bond interaction between H2S and LiNH2. Natural resonance theory （NRT） and atom in molecule （AIM） theory have also been studied to investigate the bond order and topological properties of the lithium bond structures.     

Na(THF)2(μ2-η5-Cp)(η5,η5,η1-Cp3Yb)(THF)]n: The synthesis and X-ray structure of an anionic organolanthanidepolymer formed via self-assembly

Cp2Yb·2THF reacts with CpNa in 1：1 molar ratio in THF at 40℃ for 2 h, and the in situ generated anionic divalent complex NaYbCp3（THF）n reacts further with an excess of CpH at 40℃ for 48h, after work-up, affording the trivalent anionic ytterbium complex[Na（THF）2（μ2-η^5-Cp） （η^5, η^5,η^1-Cp3Yb）（THF）]n：（1） by oxidation reaction of Cp2Yb with CpH. Crystal structure determination reveals that complex 1 has one-dimension polymeric chains of distinct Na（THF）2（μ2-η^5-Cp） （η^5, η^5,η^1-Cp3Yb）（THF） units, which were formed by the coordination of the bridging Cp ligand with Cp3Yb＇THF and Na（THF）2 in η^5,η^5 mode via self-assembly.     

Synthesis, structure and property of serial p-carboxylphenoxyacetate-lanthanide coordination polymers

Four novel lanthanide-based coordination polymers, [Ln（PBDC）（HPBDC）（H2O）3] （H=PBDC=p-carboxylphenoxyacetate; Ln = La （1）, Pr （2）, Nd （3）） and [La=（PBDC）3（H2O）4] （4）, have been prepared through hydrothermal synthetic methods. Compounds 1-3 are isomorphous and exhibit one-dimensional （1D） chain-like motifs, while compound 4 features a complicated three-dimensional （3D） architecture, which is designed and synthesized based on the inspiration from the structure characterization of compound 1. Under the similar reaction conditions, the carboxyl in compound 1 may be further deprotonated by adding the organic base of 2,2′-bipyridine. This subtle change caused a significant difference in the structures, from 1D chain of 1 to a 3D structure of 4. In addition, IR, UV-Vis, TGA and magenetic properties are also investigated in this paper.     

Structure and magnetism of carboxylate/EO-azido-mixed-ligands bridged CuII systems

Using two structurally related benzoates bearing different H-bond acceptors as co-ligands, three new azido-Cu^Ⅱ compounds, [Cu（L^1）（N3）（H2O）]n（1）, [Cu（L^1）（N3）（MeOH）]n （2）, and [CuL^2HL^2（N3）3（H2O）]n（3） （HL^1 = 4-nitrobenzoic acid; HL^2= 2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid）, have been synthesized and structurally characterized. 1 is a carboxylate/EO-azido bridged copper chain, forming 3D structure by H-bonds, and 2 has a similar chain structure as 1 but forming a 2D structure by H-bonds, while 3 is a 3D supramolecular network with ternary center H-bonds. Magnetic study indicates that domain ferromagnetic coupling interactions were found to exist in complexes 1 and 3.     

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.     

Inorganic-organic hybrids constructed of bis（undecatungstogerma- nate）lanthanates polyoxoanions and oxalate-bridged dinuclear copper complexes and their magnetic properties

A series of inorganic-organic hybrids K₂Na _m H_9−m [{Ln(GeW₁₁O₃₉)₂}{Cu₂(bpy)₂(μ-ox)}]·nH₂O (bpy = 2,2-bipyridine and ox = oxalate; Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd; n = 19, 17, 22, 20, 19; m = 4, 4, 4, 9, 2) were isolated after reacting in a potassium acetate buffer. X-ray structural analyses show that compounds 1–5 are isomorphic and consist of [Ln(GeW₁₁O₃₉)₂]¹³⁻ polyoxoanion building blocks and oxalate-bridged dinuclear copper metalorganic complex with a 1D chain structure. The 1D chain further connects into the 3D framework by π-π interactions with neighboring bpy groups. The magnetic susceptibility data indicate that antiferromagnetic coupling between the neighboring Cu²⁺ ions in the structure and the rare earth ions affects magnetic property of the structure.     

Preconcentration and Separation of Trace Copper in Water Samples with Nanometer-Size TiO2 Colloid and Determination by FAAS

A new absorbent of nanometer-size TiO2 colloid for Cu(Ⅱ) was studied in this work. The adsorption rate could reach above 99% when the pH values were at the range of 5-6. The adsorption balance time, adsorption capacities, and the eluent were investigated. A novel method of trace Cu(Ⅱ) preconcentration and separation with nanometer-size titanium dioxide colloid and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was advanced. The detection limit (3σ) of the method was 1.15 μg· L~(-1) , and the relative standard deviation (R.S.D) was 1.53% (n=6). Environmental sample experiments were also conducted to test the feasibility of the method, and it came out that the recovery rates were between 95.9% and 97.8%.

Walsh spectrum properties of rotation symmetric boolean function

Rotation symmetric function was presented by Pieprzyk. The algebraic configuration of rotation symmetric（RotS） function is special. For a Rots n variables function f（x1, x2, …, xn） we have f（ρn^k （x1, x2, …xn））=f（x1, x2, …, xn） for k=0, 1, …, n-1. In this paper, useing probability method we find that when the parameters of RotS function is under circular translation of indices, its walsh spectrum is invariant. And we prove the result is both sufficient and necessary.
