A dinuclear copper（Ⅱ） complex[Cu2（TATP）2（L-Leu）2（CIO4）2]2·2H2Owas synthesized and characterized, where, TATP=1,4,8,9-tetraazatriphenylene, and L-Leu=L-leucinate.

In complex 2, the metal complexes are linked via hydrogen bonds to form corrugated sheets in a staggered fashion; 3D channels along the b axis are constructed through other non-covalent interactions between the neighboring layers.     

Thermochemistry on the Complex of Erbium Perchlorate with L-α-Glutamic Acid [Er2（L-Glu）2（H2O）6]（ClO4）4·6H2O（s）

A coordination compound of erbium perchlorate with L-α-glutamic acid, [Er2（Glu）2（H2O）6]（ClO4）4·6H2O（s）, was synthesized. By chemical analysis, elemental analysis, FTIR, TG/DTG, and comparison with relevant literatures, its chemical composition and structure were established. The mechanism of thermal decomposition of the complex was deduced on the basis of the TG/DTG analysis. Low-temperature heat capacities were measured by a precision automated adiabatic calorimeter from 78 to 318 K. An endothermic peak in the heat capacity curve was observed over the temperature region of 290-318 K, which was ascribed to a solid-to-solid phase transition. The temperature Ttrans, the enthalpy △transHm and the entropy △transSm of the phase transition for the compound were determined to be： （308.73±0.45） K, （10.49±0.05） kJ·mol^-1 and （33.9±0.2） J·K^-1·mol^-1. Polynomial equation of heat capacities as a function of the temperature in the region of 78-290 K was fitted by the least square method. Standard molar enthalpies of dissolution of the mixture [2ErCl3·6H2O（s）＋2L-Glu（s）＋6NaClO4·H2O（s）] and the mixture {[Er2（Glu）2（H2O）6]（ClO4）4·6H2O（s）＋6NaCl（s）} in 100 mL of 2 mol·dm^-3 HClO4 as calorimetric solvent, and {2HClO4（1）} in the solution A＇ at T=298.15 K were measured to be, △dHm,1=（31.552±0.026） kJ·mol^-1, △dHm,2 = （41.302±0.034） kJ·mol^-1, and △dHm,3 = （ 14.986 ± 0.064） kJ·mol^-1, respectively. In accordance with Hess law, the standard molar enthalpy of formation of the complex was determined as △fHm-=-（7551.0±2.4） kJ·mol^-1 by using an isoperibol solution-reaction calorimeter and designing a thermochemical cycle.

The merits of this protocol are environmentally benign, simple operation, convenient work-up and good yields. Furthermore, the catalyst can easily be recovered and reused at five times with comparable yields.
