Malonic acid: a multi-modal bridging ligand for new architectures and properties on molecule-based magnets

X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic, thermal and surface morphological studies of gamma-irradiated diaquamalonatomanganese(II) (DMM)

“…Hence the present investigation also proposes thermal, spectral (FT-IR, PL, and UV-Vis) and surface morphological studies by AFM before and after gamma irradiation of powdered DMM. Malonato complexes having metal organic frame works find numerous applications in crystal engineering, nano technology, catalysis, synthesis of new co-ordination polymers, and so on [13,14]. Therefore, it is expected that knowledge regarding radiation damage and subsequently modified solid-state properties of such complexes would make substantial contributions in these fields.…”

One-dimensional ladder like and two-dimensional polymorphs of heterometallic thiocyanate bridged copper(II) and mercury(II) coordination polymer: Syntheses, structural, vibration, luminescence and EPR studies

“…doi:10.1016/j.ica.2010.10.028 been shown to have key effects on the structure of the final product [45,46]. Malonates and mono protonated malonates in association with late 3d transition metals, have been demonstrated to provide a wealth of coordination modes to the M(II) ions and many coordination polymers containing malonate ligands have been reported (see for example [47,48]). However, in the current research work, we demonstrate that the malonate (as di-anion of propane dicarboxylic acid) is a potential candidate for crystal growth without entering the final product.…”

Dicarboxylate assisted synthesis of the monoclinic heterometallic tetrathiocyanato bridged copper(II) and mercury(II) coordination polymer {Cu[Hg(SCN)4]} : Synthesis, structural, vibration, luminescence, EPR studies and DFT calculations

“…The coordination flexibility of copper(II) ions coupled with the possible presence of carboxylates can lead to the formation of different assemblies, spanning from mononuclear complexes to supramolecular coordination polymers or metal-organic frameworks [51]. Malonates in association with late 3d transition metals, have been demonstrated to provide a wealth of coordination modes to the M(II) ions and several coordination polymers with a distinct binding to Cu(II) ions [52,53]. In the current research work, we demonstrate that malonates (as mono-and dianions of propane dicarboxylic acid) are potential candidates for crystal growth without entering the final product.…”
