Metal-directed supramolecular assembly of metal(II) benzoates (M=Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Cd) with 4,4′-bipyridine: Effects of metal coordination modes and novel catalytic activities

Thermal stability and electrochemical behaviour of Tetrakis-μ-benzoatodicopper(II)

“…The current studies on copper(II) based compounds containing benzoate ligands are varied, either focusing on magneto-structural studies [14][15][16] or on complexes with different structural features [17][18][19]. To the best of our knowledge, no other physical and chemical studies, except on magnetic property have been done on copper(II) benzoate, having this structure.…”

Syntheses, crystal structures, and properties of new metal--5-bromonicotinate coordination polymers

“…In fact, the trigonal dinuclear units [Co 2 (Brnic) 3 (OH)] are interlinked by the bpy ligands to give a chiral ladder-type double chain only with C1 symmetry (Fig. 7), which is contrast with the reported Brnic-bridged 2D Co(II) layer structures [4c,4e], and ladder-type double chain formed by bpy-bridging dinuclear units [Co 2 (O 2 CPh) 4 ] (O 2 CPh¼ benzoate) [12]. The separation distances of Co(II) bridging by bpy molecules are 11.378(2) Å.…”

“…Calc. for C12 H 6 N 2 O 4 Br 2 Ni (460.69): C, 31.29; H, 1.31; N, 6.08. Found: C, 30.95; H, 1.32; N, 6.05%.…”

Investigation of the catalytic behavior of a Cu coordination polymer capped polyoxometalate as an oxidation catalyst

“…This interest stems from their potential applications as functional materials such as gas storage, ion exchangers, catalysis, magnetism, and molecular sensing [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. These compounds containing redox active ions of transition metals such as Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Mo and V may have catalytic activity for reactions following a redox mechanism [29].…”
