Supramolecular coordination chemistry of aromatic polyoxalamide ligands: A metallosupramolecular approach toward functional magnetic materials

The impressive potential of the metallosupramolecular approach in designing new functional magnetic materials constitutes a great scientific challenge for the chemical research community that requires an interdisciplinary collaboration. New fundamental concepts and future applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology will emerge from the study of magnetism as a supramolecular function in metallosupramolecular chemistry. Our recent work on the rich supramolecular coordination chemistry of a novel family of aromatic polyoxalamide (APOXA) ligands with first-row transition metal ions has allowed us to move one step further in the rational design of metallosupramolecular assemblies of increasing structural and magnetic complexity. Thus, we have taken advantage of the new developments of metallosupramolecular chemistry and, in particular, the molecular-programmed self-assembly methods that exploit the coordination preferences of paramagnetic metal ions and suitable designed polytopic ligands. The resulting self-assembled di- and trinuclear metallacyclic complexes with APOXA ligands, either metallacyclophanes or metallacryptands, are indeed ideal model systems for the study of the electron exchange mechanism between paramagnetic metal centers through extended π-conjugated aromatic bridges. So, the influence of different factors such as the topology and conformation of the bridging ligand or the electronic configuration and magnetic anisotropy of the metal ion have been investigated in a systematic way. These oligonuclear metallacyclic complexes can be important in the development of a new class of molecular magnetic devices, such as molecular magnetic wires (MMWs) and switches (MMSs), which are major goals in the field of molecular electronics and spintronics. On the other hand, because of their metal binding capacity through the outer carbonyl-oxygen atoms of the oxamato groups, they can further be used as ligands, referred to as metal–organic ligands (MOLs), toward either coordinatively unsaturated metal complexes or fully solvated metal ions. This well-known “complex-as-ligand” approach affords a wide variety of high-nuclearity metal–organic clusters (MOCs) and high-dimensionality metal–organic polymers (MOPs). The judicious choice of the oligonuclear MOL, ranging from mono- to di- and trinuclear species, has allowed us to control the overall structure and magnetic properties of the final oxamato-bridged multidimensional (nD, n = 0–3) MOCs and MOPs. The intercrossing between short- (nanoscopic) and long-range (macroscopic) magnetic behavior has been investigated in this unique family of oxamato-bridged metallosupramolecular magnetic materials expanding the examples of low-dimensional, single-molecule (SMMs) and single-chain (SCMs) magnets and high-dimensional, open-framework magnets (OFMs), which are brand-new targets in the field of molecular magnetism and materials science.     

Ligand design for multidimensional magnetic materials: a metallosupramolecular perspective

The aim and scope of this review is to show the general validity of the 'complex-as-ligand' approach for the rational design of metallosupramolecular assemblies of increasing structural and magnetic complexity. This is illustrated herein on the basis of our recent studies on oxamato complexes with transition metal ions looking for the limits of the research avenue opened by Kahn's pioneering research twenty years ago. The use as building blocks of mono-, di- and trinuclear metal complexes with a novel family of aromatic polyoxamato ligands allowed us to move further in the coordination chemistry-based approach to high-nuclearity coordination compounds and high-dimensionality coordination polymers. In order to do so, we have taken advantage of the new developments of metallosupramolecular chemistry and in particular, of the molecular-programmed self-assembly methods that exploit the coordination preferences of metal ions and specifically tailored ligands. The judicious choice of the oxamato metal building block (substitution pattern and steric requirements of the bridging ligand, as well as the electronic configuration and magnetic anisotropy of the metal ion) allowed us to control the overall structure and magnetic properties of the final multidimensional nD products (n = 0-3). These species exhibit interesting magnetic properties which are brand-new targets in the field of molecular magnetism, such as single-molecule or single-chain magnets, and the well-known class of molecule-based magnets. This unique family of molecule-based magnetic materials expands on the reported examples of nD species with cyanide and related oxalato and dithiooxalato analogues. Moreover, the development of new oxamato metal building blocks with potential photo or redox activity at the aromatic ligand counterpart will provide us with addressable, multifunctional molecular materials for future applications in molecular electronics and nanotechnology.

Electrochemical functions of metallosupramolecular nanomaterials

Self-assembly of metal ions and organic ligands results in the formation of extended or discrete metallosupramolecular structures. In case of neutral ditopic ligands such as bisterpyridines, extended metallosupramolecular coordination polyelectrolytes (MEPEs) are formed. Metal ion-induced self-assembly of 1,4-bis(2,2':6',2'-terpyridin-4'-yl)benzene with Fe(II) or Co(II) results in MEPEs with interesting electrochemical properties. These MEPEs reversibly change their color when oxidized or reduced. The heterometallic MEPE consisting of Fe(II) and Co(II) combines the properties of the individual MEPEs and therefore shows their different states: red-purple, blue, and transparent. On the other hand, complexation of cyclic phenylazomethines with metal ions results in discrete metallosupramolecular structures. We find that metal ion assembly to the organic module occurs in a stepwise fashion because of a difference in the basicity of the imine conformers, and the metal ion assembly can be controlled electrochemically. This example illustrates how metal ion binding can be controlled by the conformation of the receptor, an important step toward assembling organic ligands and metal ions in predictable ways.     

Design and its limitations in the construction of bi- and poly-nuclear coordination complexes and coordination polymers (aka MOFs): a personal view

This article, presented from a personal point of view, is concerned with the design of ligands intended to give specifically either binuclear or tetranuclear metal complexes or coordination polymers. No attempt is made to provide a comprehensive coverage of these topics, the focus being mainly upon results from our laboratory. Some emphasis is placed upon aspects of the historical development of the deliberate construction of coordination polymers (aka MOFs)--materials promising useful applications, the study of which continues to expand exponentially. Some of our recent research is described in which the carbonate ion and the tetracyanoquinodimethane dianion are used as bridging ligands to generate targeted coordination polymers. It is intended that Dalton Perspectives be easily comprehensible to non-specialists in the field; an average second year university chemistry student should be easily able to understand the present contribution.     

1D and 2D homochiral metal-organic frameworks built from a new chiral elongated binaphthalene-derived bipyridine

Six homochiral coordination polymers 1-6 based on a new enantiopure elongated (S)-2,2'-diethoxy-1,1'-binaphthyl-6,6'-bis(4-vinylpyridine) ligand (L) and divalent metal (Zn, Cd, and Ni) connecting points were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. These new homochiral coordination polymers adopt two distinct framework structures: a one-dimensional infinite chain structure with bridging L ligands occupying the axial positions of the metal centers and a two-dimensional rhombic grid structure formed by linking octahedrally coordinated metal centers with four pyridyl groups of bridging L ligands in the equatorial positions. The structures of these coordination polymers are sensitive to the nature of the anions as well as the solvents from which the coordination polymer crystals were grown. Powder X-ray diffraction studies showed that the two-dimensional chiral rhombic grids exhibited porosity, which could potentially find applications in enantioselective separations and catalysis.     

Metallosupramolecular Cube with Nanometer-sized Cavitiy

Construction of supramolecular architectures with inner cavities is a subject of current interest because of their abilities for selective inclusion of ions and molecules, molecular recognition and catalysis for specific chemical transformations. The potential use of such species largely depends on their cavity size and type, which are mainly controlled by the ligands via appropriate metal ions. A number of such species with inner cavities have been prepared and characterized. Very recently, several metallosupramolecular capsules with enclosure-like systems and very large inner cavities were reported. Herein reported are a stable neutral nanometer-sized metallosupramolecular cube cage[Ni₆(tpst)₈Cl₁₂] (1) (tpst=2,4,6-tri[(4-pyridyl)sulfanylmethyl]-l,3,5-triazine) with O_h symmetry, which was prepared from assembly reaction of NiCl₂ and the tpst ligand in DMF, and[Ag₇(tpst)₄(ClO₄)₂(NO₃)₅]_n (2) with a single stranded coordination polymer has been synthesized by self-assembly of silver salt and tpst ligand. Polymer 2 contains nanometer-sized tubes with anion and solvent molecule guests.

Unexpected Self‐Assembly of a Homochiral Metallosupramolecular M4L4 Catenane

Two enantiomerically pure 9,9′‐spirobifluorene‐based bis(pyridine) ligands 1 and 2 were prepared to study their self‐assembly behavior upon coordination to cis‐protected palladium(II) ions. Whereas the sterically more demanding ligand, 2 , gave rise to the expected dinuclear metallosupramolecular M₂L₂ rhombi, the sterically less demanding ligand, 1 , acts as a template to give rise to a homochiral metallosupramolecular M₄L₄ catenane.
