Synthesis, Crystal Structure, UV-vis and EPR Studies of（ NH3CH2CH2NH2 ） 2.5 [ Mo0.5^（V）W0.5^（VI）O2 （ OC6H4O ） 2]

Cis-dioxo-metal complex ( NH3CH2CH2NH2 ) 2.5 [ Mo0.5^(V)W0.5^(VI)O2 ( OC6H4O ) 2] 1 was obtained by the reaction of tetra-butyl ammonium hexamolybdotungstate with 1, 2-dihydroxybenzene in the mixed solvent of CH3OH, CH3CN and ethylenediamine,and characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis and EPR analysis. Compared with its analogous complexes (NH3CH2CH2NH2)3[Mo^(V)O2(OC6H40)2] 2 and (NH3CH2CH2NH2)2[W^(VI)O2(OC6H4O)2] 3, the results show that tungsten(VI) is less active in redox than molybdenum (VI) and that the change of the valence induced by substitution of W(VI) for Mo(V) in EMO2(OC6H40)2]n- does not influence the coordination geometry of the complex anion in which the metal center exhibits distorted octahedral coordination with cis-dioxo catechol. The responses to EPR of complexes 1 and 2 are active but complex 3 is silent,and the UV-vis spectra exhibited by the three complexes are obvious different because of the different electronic configuration between the central Mo(V) and W(VI) ions in the complexes.It is noteworthy that complexes 1 and 2 have the similar EPR signal to flavoenzyme, suggesting that the three complexes have the same coordination geometry feature with the co-factor of flavoenzyme.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two New Metal Phosphonates： [Mn（H2O）2（C12H8N2） （HO3PCH2CH2CO2） ] and [Co（H2O）4（C10H8N2）]-（HOaPCH2CH2CO2）

By the reactions of manganese（if） acetate, 2-sulfoethylphosphonic acid, 1,10-phen （1,10-phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline） or cobalt（Ⅱ） acetate, 4,4＇-bipy and 2-carboxyethylphosphonic acid, two novel compounds of [Mn（H2O）2（C12H8N2） （HO3PCH2CH2CO2） ] （1） and[Co（H2O）4（C10H8N2）]-（HOaPCH2CH2CO2） （2） have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 has a 0D structure. Two Mn（ii） ions are linked by two 2-carboxyethylphosphonic acid ligands, forming a centrosymmetric dimer. These dimers are further interlinked into a 2D layer structure by π-π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds. Compound 2 has a 1D chain structure. The 2-carboxyethylphosphonic acid remains uncoordinated and acts as the organic template. By the bridge of 4,4＇-bipy, the [Co（4,4＇-bipy）]^2＋ chains are formed.     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of [Mn（phen）2（H2O）2]（OAc）2.6H2O

1 INTRODUCTION Water oxidation to oxygen gas by photo- synthetic apparatus of green plants and cyano- bacteria is the origin of this gas in the atmosphere. The water oxidation center is a tetranuclear, oxide- bridged manganese cluster with O,N-based peri- pheral ligation by amino acid side-chain group[1, 2]. The binding of aqua to the Mn site may be impor- tant to the oxidation of aqua for producing dioxygen. 1,10-Phenanthroline has been adopted to simulate coordination sphere of manga…

A novel coordination polymer [Nd2（PDB）2（CH3COO）2（H2O）3] （H2PDB = pyridine3,4-dicarboxylic acid） has been synthesized by the reaction of Nd（CH3COO）3 with pyridine3,4-dicarboxylic acid under hydrothermal conditions. Elemental analysis, IR spectra and X-ray crystal structure analysis were carried out to determine the composition and crystal structure of the title complex which belongs to the triclinic system, space group P^-1 with a = 6.9409（14）, b = 7.5497（15）, c = 22.530（5）A, α = 84.79（3）, β = 88.15（3）, γ= 75.55（3）^o, C18H18N2O15Nd2, Mr = 790.82, Z = 2, V = 1138.5（4） A^3, Dc = 2.307 g/cm^3,μ = 4.593 mm^-1, -6≤h≤8, -5≤k ≤8, -26≤l≤ 26, F（000） = 760, Rint = 0.0298, R= 0.0314 and wR= 0.0695 （I〉 2σ（I））. Nd（1） and Nd（2） are linked into zigzag chains by carboxylate groups of acetate with interesting μ3-η^2：η^2 fashion. The zigzag chains are bridged by PDB to form a 2D framework, and a 3D supramolecular network is further constructed via π-π stacking.     

Enamine Configuration of 5-Methyl-2-phenyl-4-[（Z）-3-tolylamino-phenylmethylene]pyrazol-3（2H）-one

1 INTRODUCTION In contrast to the old-line academic and practical studies of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazo- lone (PMBP) on the metal coordination chemistry[1], the complexes of β-ketoamines derivated from PMBP received little attention due to its complicated com- plexation. However, in recent years, there has a sudden growth of this area as a result of its timely interest in biological activities[2]. Recently, a series of β-ketoamines[3] containing PMBP have been prepared fro…     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of [Mn（sapn）（H2O）2]Br

1 INTRODUCTION Many of the recent advances in the coordination chemistry of manganese have been driven by the involvement of the manganese in several biological redox-active systems[1,2], of which the most important is the oxygen-evolving complex (EOC) of photosystem II (PS II) in green plants [3]. Since the preparations and structural characterizations of the complexes containing N,O-donor ligands have been studied extensively as simple active-site models for the photosystem II[4,5]…     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure ofa Bipy Bridged Binuclear Cu^Ⅱ Complex Containing Aminomethanesulfonic Acid [Cu2（Sams）2（Bipy）（H2O）2]·（H2O）

The title complex [Cu2（Sams）2（H2O）2（bipy）]·（H2O） 1 （H2Sams = N-（2-hydroxybenzy） aminomethanesulfonic acid, bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine） has been synthesized by the reaction of Cu- （CH3COO）2·H2O, nESams and 4,4′-bipyridine in aqueous methanol. It was characterized by IR, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） and X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/n with a= 10.9533（17）, b = 8.3408（13）, c = 16.714（3） A^°, β = 101.295（4）°, V = 1494.3（4） A^°3 and Z = 2. The asymmetric unit is comprised of a tridentate Schiff base Sams^2- anionic ligand, a 4,4′-bipyddine and two coordinated water molecules, thus forming a binuclear copper（Ⅱ） complex. The coordination environment at Cu^Ⅱ center is described as a slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry. Via intermolecular hydrogen bonds C（10）-H（10）…O（3） and C（13）- H（13）…O（3）, an infinite supramolecular chain is yielded. A number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds greatly contribute to the stabilization of the solid-state structure for 1.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Cadmium（Ⅱ） Complex [Cd（H2O）（CH3OC6H4COO）2]n

1 INTRODUCTION Cadmium (Ⅱ) complexes have been exten- sively studied from both chemical and structural views, mainly due to the capability of cadmium (Ⅱ) (shared by most d10 metal ions) to adopt different modes of coordination determined by the consideration of size, as well as electrostatic and covalent bonding forces[1]. And the field of coordination polymers has witnessed tremendous growth over the last decade[2]. Many coordination polymeric networks have been shown to posses intere…     

Synthesis and Structure of Iron Complex with 1,2—Dithiolate—1,2—dicarba—closo—dodecaborane [Li（THF）4][Fe（S2C2B10H10）2（THF）]

1 INTRODUCTION The complexes containing dithiolate ligands have played a well-established role in modern coordination chemistry[1]. There is continuous interest in complexes of chalcogenolate ligands with transition metals such as complexes of Pd[1], Mo[1], Au[2], Ir[3～6], Rh[4, 5], Co[7] and Re[1, 8] containing a chelating 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecabarane-1,2-dich- alcogenolate ligand. Some of these complexes have become important in the study of new molecular materials[1, 9, 10]. Th…

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Dinuclear Cu(Ⅱ) Complex [Cu(C13H9N2O)Cl]2·(CH3CN)2 with Ligand 2-Benzimidazol

A new dinuclear copper complex, [Cu(C13H9N2O)Cl]2·(CH3CN)2 (C30H24Cl2Cu2N6O2),has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray structure determination. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1-, with a = 7.6677(14), b = 9.2375(17), c = 11.227(2) (A), α = 81.338(3),β= 88.173(4), γ = 66.199(3)°, V = 718.9(2) (A)3, Z = 1, Mr = 698.53, F(000) = 354, Dc = 1.613 g/cm3,μ(MoKα) = 1.705 mm-1, the final R = 0.0645 and wR = 0.1364 for 2474 unique reflections with 1809 observed ones (I＞ 2σ(Ⅰ)). In the title complex, each copper(Ⅱ) atom is located at the center of a distorted tetrahedron consisting of four coordinate atoms (one nitrogen atom, two oxygen anions,and one chlorine atom). Two copper(Ⅱ) atoms are bridged by two oxygen anions (O(1) and O(1a)) of two phenolates to form a Cu(Ⅱ)-Cu(Ⅱ) binuclear entity, and the distance between two copper(Ⅱ)atoms is 3.0144(15) (A).

Ferromagnetism in malonato-bridged copper(II) complexes. Synthesis,crystal structures,and magnetic properties of [[Cu(H2O)3][Cu(mal)2(H2O)]]n and [[Cu(H2O)4]2[Cu(mal)2(H2O)]][Cu(mal)2(H2O)2][[Cu(H2O)4][Cu(mal)2(H2O)2][(H2mal = malonic acid)

Three malonato-bridged copper(II) complexes of the formulas [[Cu(H2O)3][Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)]]n (1), [[Cu(H2O)4]2[Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)]] [Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)2][[Cu(H2O)4][Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)2]] (2), and [Cu(H2O)4][Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)2] (3) (C3H2O4 = malonate dianion) have been prepared, and the structures of the two former have been solved by X-ray diffraction methods. The structure of compound 3 was already known. Complex 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pcab, Z = 8, with unit cell parameters of a = 10.339(1) A, b = 13.222(2) A, and c = 17.394(4) A. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c, Z = 4, with unit cell parameters of a = 21.100(4) A, b = 21.088(4) A, c = 14.007(2) A, and beta = 115.93(2) degrees. Complex 1 is a chain compound with a regular alternation of aquabis(malonato)copper(II) and triaquacopper(II) units developing along the z axis. The aquabis(malonato)copper(II) unit acts as a bridging ligand through two slightly different trans-carboxylato groups exhibiting an anti-syn coordination mode. The four carboxylate oxygens, in the basal plane, and the one water molecule, in the apical position, describe a distorted square pyramid around Cu1, whereas the same metal surroundings are observed around Cu2 but with three water molecules and one carboxylate oxygen building the equatorial plane and a carboxylate oxygen from another malonato filling the apical site. Complex 2 is made up of discrete mono-, di-, and trinuclear copper(II) complexes of the formulas [Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)2]2-, [[Cu(H2O)4] [Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)2]], and [[Cu(H2O)4]2[Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)]]2+, respectively, which coexist in a single crystal. The copper environment in the mononuclear unit is that of an elongated octahedron with four carboxylate oxygens building the equatorial plane and two water molecules assuming the axial positions. The neutral dinuclear unit contains two types of copper atoms, one that is six-coordinated, as in the mononuclear entity, and another that is distorted square pyramidal with four water molecules building the basal plane and a carboxylate oxygen in the apical position. The overall structure of this dinuclear entity is nearly identical to that of compound 3. Finally, the cationic trimer consists of an aquabis(malonato)copper(II) complex that acts as a bismonodentate ligand through two cis-carboxylato groups (anti-syn coordination mode) toward two tetraaqua-copper(II) terminal units. The environment of the copper atoms is distorted square pyramidal with four carboxylate oxygens (four water molecules) building the basal plane of the central (terminal) copper atom and a water molecule (a carboxylate oxygen) filling the axial position. The magnetic properties of 1-3 have been investigated in the temperature range 1.9-290 K. Overall, ferromagnetic behavior is observed in the three cases: two weak, alternating intrachain ferromagnetic interactions (J = 3.0 cm-1 and alpha J = 1.9 cm-1 with H = -J sigma i[S2i.S2i-1 + alpha S2i.S2i+1]) occur in 1, whereas the magnetic behavior of 2 is the sum of a magnetically isolated spin doublet and ferromagnetically coupled di- (J3 = 1.8 cm-1 from the magnetic study of the model complex 3) and trinuclear (J = 1.2 cm-1 with H = -J (S1.S2 + S1.S3) copper(II) units. The exchange pathway that accounts for the ferromagnetic coupling, through an anti-syn carboxylato bridge, is discussed in the light of the available magneto-structural data.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Cu（bbtz）（HCOO）2（H2O）2]n

Solvothermal Synthesis and Structure Characterization of a 3D Hydrogen-bonded Copper Compound [Cu(H_2dhpmc)_2]·2H_2O

1 INTRODUCTION The controlled assembly of inorganic and coordination polymers from simple building blocks is an important challenge in the design of high- dimensionality systems. In the crystal engineering 'toolbox'[1], hydrogen bonding moieties are perhaps the implements used the most in the design of such supramolecular systems[2], and have been particularly strongly applied towards the synthesis of molecular magnetic materials[3~6].

Novel acetate binding modes in [Na2Cu(CH3COO)4(H2O)].H2O

A new copper(II) acetate, [Na(2)Cu(CH(3)COO)(4)(H(2)O)].H(2)O (1), has been crystallized from an aqueous solution containing sodium acetate and copper(II) acetate monohydrate in a 4:1 ratio and the structure determined by X-ray crystallography. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with a = 16.638(3) A, b = 11.781(2) A, c = 15.668(3) A, beta = 90.11(3) degrees, V = 3071.0(11) A(3), and Z = 4. In the asymmetric unit, sodium ions bridge two crystallographically unique square planar [Cu(CH(3)COO)(4)](2-) units to their symmetry-generated neighbors to form corrugated 2D sheets of Na(2)Cu(CH(3)COO)(4), which are held together by H-bonding interactions involving the waters of crystallization. In contrast, the structures of known sodium copper acetates are better described as 3D frameworks. The metal centers are bridged by a number of acetates in novel coordination modes. The square planar Cu(II) geometry generated by oxygen atoms from four different acetates is an unexpected feature given the weak ligand field provided by the acetate ligands.     

Polyoxometalate-supported transition metal complexes and their charge complementarity: synthesis and characterization of [M(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(Phen)(H2O)2]2][M(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(Phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5H2O (M = Al(+, Cr3+)

Two Anderson-type heteropolyanion-supported copper phenanthroline complexes, [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2]1+ (1c) and [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2]1- (1a) complement their charges in one of the title compounds [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2][Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5H2O [1c][1a].5 H2O 1. Similar charge complementarity exists in the chromium analogue, [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2][Cr(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5 H2O [2c][2a].5 H2O 2. The chloride coordination to copper centers of 1a and 2a makes the charge difference. In both compounds, the geometries around copper centers are distorted square pyramidal and those around aluminum/chromium centers are distorted octahedral. Three lattice waters, from the formation of intermolecular O-H.....O hydrogen bonds, have been shown to self-assemble into an "acyclic water trimer" in the crystals of both 1 and 2. The title compounds have been synthesized in a simple one pot aqueous wet-synthesis consisting of aluminum/chromium chloride, sodium molybdate, copper nitrate, phenanthroline, and hydrochloric acid, and characterized by elemental analyses, EDAX, IR, diffuse reflectance, EPR, TGA, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group P. Crystal data for 1: a = 10.7618(6), b = 15.0238(8), c = 15.6648(8) angstroms, alpha = 65.4570(10), beta = 83.4420(10), gamma = 71.3230(10), V = 2182.1(2) angstroms3. Crystal data for 2: a = 10.8867(5), b = 15.2504(7), c = 15.7022(7) angstroms, alpha = 64.9850(10), beta = 83.0430(10), gamma = 71.1570(10), V = 2235.47(18) angstroms3. In the electronic reflectance spectra, compounds 1 and 2 exhibit a broad d-d band at approximately 700 nm, which is a considerable shift with respect to the value of 650-660 nm for a square-pyramidal [Cu(phen)2L] complex, indicating the coordination of [M(OH)6Mo6O18]3- POM anions (as a ligand) to the monophenanthroline copper complexes to form POM-supported copper complexes 1c, 1a, 2c, and 2a. The ESR spectrum of compound 1 shows a typical axial signal for a Cu2+ (d9) system, and that of compound 2, containing both chromium(III) and copper(II) ions, may reveal a zero-field-splitting of the central Cr3+ ion of the Anderson anion, [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18]3-, with an intense peak for the Cu2+ ion.
