Ca(4)IrO(6), Ca(3)MgIrO(6) and Ca(3)ZnIrO(6).

Single crystals of tetracalcium iridium hexaoxide, Ca(4)IrO(6), tricalcium magnesium iridium hexaoxide, Ca(3)MgIrO(6), and tricalcium zinc iridium hexaoxide, Ca(3)ZnIrO(6), were prepared via high-temperature flux growth and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The three compounds are isostructural and adopt the K(4)CdCl(6) structure type, comprised of chains of alternating face-shared [CaO(6)], [MgO(6)] or [ZnO(6)] trigonal prisms and [IrO(6)] octahedra, surrounded by columns of Ca(2+) ions.

Growth of Sr6Rh5O15 single crystals from high-temperature solutions: structure determination using the traditional 3-D and the 4-D superspace group methods and magnetic measurements on oriented single crystals.

Single crystals of Sr6Rh5O15 were grown from a molten potassium carbonate flux. The structure was solved by both the traditional 3-D crystallographic approach and the 4-D superspace group approach using JANA2000. Both methods produced an equivalent structure determination, thereby confirming the 4-D superspace group approach as an effective structure solution method for 3-D commensurate composite structures. Sr6Rh5O15 corresponds to the n = 1, m = 1 member of the A3n+3mA'nB3m+nO9m+6n family of 2H hexagonal perovskite-related oxides. This compound is characterized by pseudo-one-dimensional polyhedral chains of four face-sharing RhO6 octahedra followed by one RhO6 trigonal prism. These chains in turn are separated by [Sr](infinity) chains. Magnetic measurements were carried out on oriented single crystals, and a very large magnetic anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility was observed.

Two versatile N,N'-bipyridine-type ligands for preparing organic-inorganic coordination polymers: new cobalt- and nickel-containing framework materials.

The Schiff base ligands 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (L1, monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 3.856(1) A, b = 11.032(2) A, c = 12.738(3) A, beta = 92.21(3) degrees, Z = 2) and 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene (L2, monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 10.885(2) A, b = 4.613(1) A, c = 14.978(3) A, beta = 92.827(4) degrees, Z = 2) were used in the synthesis of four new organic-inorganic coordination polymers, each of them adopting a different structural motif. Synthesis, X-ray structural determinations, and spectroscopic and thermogravimetric analyses are presented. The reaction between Co(NO(3))(2).6H(2)O and L1 afforded a two-dimensional noninterpenetrating brick-wall structure, [Co(C(12)N(4)H(10))(1.5)(NO(3))(2)(H(2)O)(CH(2)Cl(2))(2)](n)() (1, triclinic, P1; a = 10.242(7) A, b = 10.802(7) A, c = 15.100(1) A, alpha = 70.031(1), beta = 75.168(11), gamma = 76.155(11), Z = 2), while Ni(NO(3))(2).6H(2)O combined with L1 yielded an interpenetrating three-dimensional rhombus-grid polymer, [Ni(C(12)N(4)H(10))(2)(NO(3))(2)(OC(4)H(8))(1.66)(H(2)O)(0.33)](n) (2, monoclinic, C2/c; a = 20.815(8) A, b = 23.427(8) A, c = 17.291(6) A, beta = 116.148(6), Z = 8). The reaction of Co(NO(3))(2).6H(2)O and L2 was found to be solvent-sensitive and resulted in the formation of two different noninterpenetrating compounds: [Co(C(14)N(4)H(14))(2)(NO(3))(2)(C(6)H(6))(1.5)](n)() (3, monoclinic, C2/c; a = 22.760(2) A, b = 21.010(3) A, c = 25.521(2) A, beta = 97.151(2), Z = 8), which adopts a two-dimensional square-grid motif formed by propeller-type modules, and [Co(C(14)N(4)H(14))(1.5)(NO(3))(2)(CH(2)Cl(2))(2)](n)() (4, monoclinic, P2(1)/n; a = 14.432(2) A, b = 14.543(8) A, c = 15.448(4) A, beta = 96.968(0), Z = 4), consisting of T-shaped building blocks assembled into a one-dimensional ladder-type structure. These four coordination polymers all exhibit impressive thermal stability. Thermogravimetric studies showed that after complete removal of the solvents, the frameworks are stable to temperatures between 234 degrees C and 260 degrees C.

Conjugated organometallic polymers containing Vollhardt's cyclobutadiene complex: aggregation and morphologies.

Organometallic polymers were prepared by acyclic diyne metathesis (ADIMET) or by Pd-catalyzed coupling of 1,3-diethynylcyclobutadiene(cyclopentadienyl)cobalt with a suitably substituted diiodobenzene. The polymers obtained by Heck coupling show a degree of polymerization (Pn) of 20-60. The monomers for ADIMET were made by the Pd-catalyzed coupling of [1,3-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-2,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclobutadiene](cyclopentadienyl)cobalt to 1-bromo-2,5-dialkyl-4-propynylbenzenes in the presence of KOH in yields of 40-48%. The monomers carry hexyl, ethylhexyl, and (S)-3,7-dimethyloctyl side chains. Polymerization of the propynylated monomers furnishes organometallic polymers with a Pn of up to 230 arylene-ethynylene units. The polymers were fully characterized by polarizing microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, circular dichroism, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). They show nematic, lyotropic liquid crystalline phases as well as chiroptical properties from which aggregation in poor solvents and in the solid state can be concluded. Lamellar or irregular honeycomb-shaped morphologies in these organometallic polymers can be detected by electron microscopy.

The flux synthesis of single crystals of the isostructural compounds tristrontium zinc platinum hexaoxide, Sr(3)ZnPtO(6), and tristrontium cadmium platinum hexaoxide, Sr(3)CdPtO(6), is reported. The compounds adopt the pseudo-one-dimensional rhombohedral K(4)CdCl(6) structure type, and feature chains of face-shared distorted ZnO(6) or CdO(6) trigonal prisms and PtO(6) octahedra, surrounded by columns of Sr(2+) ions. All transition metals are located on the threefold axis of symmetry, while the Sr(2+) cations lie on twofold axes.

New inorganic/organic coordination polymers generated from bidentate Schiff-base ligands.

The coordination chemistry of the long conjugated bidentate Schiff-base ligands 1,4-bis(3-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (L1) and 2,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene (L2) with cadmium and cobalt nitrate hydrates is investigated. Four new coordination polymers are prepared by solution reactions and fully characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. [Cd(NO3)2(L1)(1.5).0.5(L1)]n (1; monoclinic, P2(1)/c; a = 7.7729(16) A, b = 19.049(4) A, c = 17.865(4) A, beta = 93.13(3) degrees, Z = 4) is obtained by combination of L1 with Cd(NO3)(2).4H2O in a benzene/methanol or THF/methanol mixed-solvent system. The structure features two-dimensional brick wall sheets that are cross-linked by weak noncovalent pi-pi interactions (alternating face-to-face stacking of coordinated and uncoordinated L1 molecules) to generate a novel three-dimensional network. [Co(NO3)2(L1)(1.5).H2O]n (2; orthorhombic, Ccca; a = 19.031(4) A, b = 33.627(7) A, c = 14.299(3) A, Z = 4) is generated from the reaction of L1 with Co(NO3)(2).6H2O in a benzene/ethanol mixed-solvent system. It forms with a unique three-dimensional framework that can be considered a new polymeric motif based on the 1:1.5 metal-to-ligand composition M(L)1.5. The Cd(II) and Co(II) centers in 1 and 2, which lie in seven-coordinate environments, generate two new types of building blocks. The topologies of these two new building blocks are distinctly different from the common "T-shaped" building block generated from the same (MN3O4) coordination environment reported previously. Cd(L2)2(NO3)2 (3) and Co(L2)2(NO3)2 (4) are obtained by combination of L2 with Cd(NO3)(2).4H2O and Co(NO3)(2).6H2O, respectively. Compounds 3 and 4 are isostructural, crystallizing in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, with a = 8.5802(17) A, b = 17.506(4) A, c = 10.443(2) A, beta = 96.59(3) degrees, and Z = 2 for 3 and a = 8.5283(17) A, b = 17.408(4) A, c = 10.229(2) A, beta = 97.05(3) degrees, and Z = 2 for 4. 3 and 4 adopt a novel one-dimensional chain structural motif, consisting of M2(L2)2 (M = Cd, Co) ringlike units. O...H-C hydrogen-bonding interactions in both 3 and 4 play a significant role in aligning the polymer strands in the solid state.

Metal-containing ligands for mixed-metal polymers: novel Cu(II)-Ag(I) mixed-metal coordination polymers generated from [Cu(2-methylpyrazine-5-carboxylate)2(H2O)].3H2O and silver(I) salts.

One Cu(II)-containing ligand and two Cu(II)-Ag(I) mixed-metal coordination polymers have been synthesized. [Cu(2-methylpyrazine-5-carboxylate)2(H2O)].3H2O (1) was obtained as a molecular complex with two uncoordinated nitrogen donors by the reaction of 2-methylpyrazine-5-carboxylate sodium with CuCl(2).2H2O in water. Compound 1 crystallized in the triclinic space group P1, with a = 10.498(2) A, b = 11.000(2) A, c = 8.1424(16) A, alpha = 98.33(3) degrees, beta = 101.83(3) degrees, gamma = 66.68(3) degrees, and Z = 2. Reactions of 1 with silver(I) salts have been studied. Two Cu(II)-Ag(I) mixed-metal coordination polymers, namely, Ag[Cu(2-methylpyrazine-5-carboxylate)2.(H2O)2](BF4) (2) and Ag[Cu(2-methylpyrazine-5-carboxylate)2.(H2O)2](NO3) (3), have been generated by treating 1 with AgBF4 and AgNO3, respectively. Compound 2 crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with a = 25.827(5) A, b = 9.6430(19) A, c = 7.4525(15) A, beta = 94.74(3) degrees, and Z = 4. Compound 3 also crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with a = 25.855(5) A, b = 9.782(2) A, c = 7.1201(14) A, beta = 96.90(3) degrees, and Z = 4. The main structural feature in both 2 and 3 is a zigzag Cu(II)-Ag(I) mixed-metal chain, in which the alternating Cu(II) and Ag(I) centers are linked by 2-methylpyrazine-5-carboxylate spacers. The effect of the nitrate counterion was illustrated by compound 3, in which a novel [Ag+...NO3-] coordination chain has been found which acts as the connector to cross-link the one-dimensional zigzag chains into a three-dimensional network. In addition, an identical interchain O-H...O hydrogen bonding system has been found in both 2 and 3 and has been shown to play a significant role in directing the alignment of the one-dimensional mixed-metal polymer chains in the crystalline state. The magnetic susceptibilities of 2 and 3 were measured and found to follow the Curie law (mu eff = 1.85 for 2 and 1.83 for 3).
