Abstract:Starting from the enantiomerically pure or racemic nucleophile 1-phenylethylamine (L) chiral cobalt complexes with the general formula [Co(Hdmg) 2 XL] (Hdmg dimethylglyoximate, X CN, NO 2 ) were obtained as homochiral or heterochiral crystalline solids, respectively. The crystal structures of the resulting cyano and nitro complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The homochiral solids crystallize in space group P2 1 with two molecules per asymmetric unit, the racemates in P2 1 /c with only… Show more
“…Only a few examples [4,20] for this type of solid have been studied by X-ray diffraction. All structures of the phenylethylamine complexes, 1؊6 are closely related crystallizing in space group P2 1 or the centric supergroup P2 1 /c with similar lattice parameters; they contain four molecules per unit cell and show comparable packing [16]. The centric structures 5 and 6 show no dipole moment for reasons of symmetry.…”

Starting from the enantiomerically pure and racemic chiral Lewis bases 1-phenylethylamine and 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine inert cobalt(III) complexes of the general composition Co(Hdmg) 2 (lig)X (Hdmg ϭ dimethylglyoximate; lig ϭ Lewis base; X ϭ CN, NCO, NO 2 ) were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The enantiopure complexes were used as building blocks for the synthesis of binary crystals. Solid solutions resulted from cocrystallizing isomorphous compounds of equal chirality whereas complexes of opposite chirality formed well-ordered heterochiral solids with efficient packing. Two binary crystals of

“…Opposite chirality offers the possibility to design binary crystals based on the favourable interaction between opposite enantiomers. We have exploited the statistical preference for heterochiral crystals [1][2][3] as a design tool to generate predictable molecular assemblies [4][5][6][7]. Preferred mirror image recognition in the solid extends to closely related compounds of opposite chirality, so-called quasiracemates [8,9].…”
A 3D graphene architecture can be prepared via an in situ self‐assembly of graphene prepared by a mild chemical reduction. Fe3O4 nanoparticles are homogeneously dispersed into graphene oxide (GO) aqueous suspension and a 3D magnetic graphene/Fe3O4 aerogel is prepared during the reduction of GO to graphene. This provides a general method to prepare 3D graphene/nanoparticle composites for a wide range of applications including catalysis and energy conversion.
