Two New Cu^II Coordination Polymers: Studies of Topological Networks and Water Clusters

Abstract

Two new CuII coordination polymers, namely [Cu2(BDC)2(L)4(H2O)2]·14H2O (1) and [Cu1.5(BTC)(L)1.5(H2O)0.5]·2H2O (2), where L = 1,1′‐(1,4‐butanediyl)bis(imidazole), BDC = 1,4‐benzenedicarboxylate, and BTC = 1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylate, have been synthesized at room temperature. Complex 1 exhibits an unusual, square‐planar, four‐connected 2D 264 net, which has been predicated by Wells. Interestingly, three types of water clusters, namely (H2O)6, (H2O)8, and (H2O)10, are observed in the hydrogen‐bonded layers constructed by the BDC ligands and water molecules. The BTC anion in compound 2 is coordinated to the CuII cation as tetradentate ligand to form a (66)2(426484)2(64810) net containing three kinds of nonequivalent points. Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and IR spectra for 1 and 2 are also discussed in detail. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)

Hairpin-shaped tetranuclear palladium(II) complex: Synthesis, crystal structure, DNA binding and cytotoxicity activity studies

“…The carboxylate group of the complex show two bands, an intense asymmetric carboxylate stretching v(as, coo À ) and a symmetric stretching v(s,coo À ) at about 1622 and 1383 cm À1 , respectively, The values of Dv(coo À ) (v(as,coo À ) À v(s,coo À )) is 239 cm À1 , suggesting that the carboxylate group is amonodentate coordinated through oxygen atoms [27]. And the broad bands around 3383 cm À1 attributable to the OeH stretching frequency suggest that lattice waters exist in the complex [28]. The above speculations were consistent with the crystal structure of the title complex by X-ray analysis.…”

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Photoluminescent Property of Cadmium(II) Metal-organic Framework with Mixed Carboxylate and Bis(imidazole) Ligand

“…Semi-empirical absorption corrections were applied using the SADABS program. 21 The structures were solved by direct methods and refined on F 2 by full-matrix least squares using SHELXTL. 22 All non-hydrogen atoms were treated anisotropically.…”

Synthesis, characterization and magnetic properties of coordination polymers of manganese with 1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid ligands

“…However, syntheses involving mixed ligands are more difficult due to the different solubility of mixed organic ligands and the competition between different organic ligands for the metal [20]. Numerous studies have shown that hydrothermal synthesis is a powerful method for the construction of coordination polymers from mixed ligands [21].…”
