The crystal and molecular structure ofo-phthalatocopper(II) dihydrate

The influence of alkaline cations on the mechanism and kinetics of dehydration of polymeric phthalatocuprate(II) dihydrates

“…Diffraction data were collected in the range 4 o < 2θ < 50 o (step scan: 10 s, step width: 0.02 º2) at room temperature. The comparison of experimental and calculated XRPD patterns [12] confirmed the phase purity of the prepared samples.…”

“…Crystal structures of 1 and 2 were already reported [12], but without experimental details related to the synthesis. For that reason, the complete procedure for their synthesis is presented in the Experimental section.…”

“…The difference in thermal behavior of 1 and 2 upon dehydration-rehydration process can be correlated to their structure. Since crystal structures of 1 and 2 are known [12], in this section only the main structural features will be presented.…”

“…For the last decade, design and preparation of transition metal (TM) complexes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] resulted in an extremely wide range of discrete zero-dimensional (0D) compounds, and coordination polymers (CPs) with infinite one-(1D), two-(2D) or three-dimensional (3D) frameworks and very diverse structural features.…”

“…So far, there are only a few detailed studies dealing with thermal behavior of TM complexes [23] during dehydration from the view point of structural changes, while the research related to dehydration of heterometallic complexes is mainly restricted to the structural features [12][13][14][15][16][17]. The studies concerning thermal stability of heterometallic complexes which incorporate, at the same time, transition and alkali metals, with water molecules bonded to alkaline cations, are even less common.…”
