Structural variation from 1D to 3D: effects of ligands and solvents on the construction of lead(II)-organic coordination polymers.

A series of Pb(II) coordination polymers [Pb(ndc)(dpp)] (1), [Pb(ndc)(ptcp)].0.5 H2O (2), [Pb(ndc)(dppz)] (3), [Pb(ndc)(tcpn)(2)] (4), [Pb2(ndc)2(tcpp)] (5), [Pb(Hndc)2].H2O (6), [Pb(ndc)(dma)] (7), [Pb(bdc)(dma)] (8), [Pb(trans-chdc)(H2O)] (9), and [Pb2(cis-chdc)2].NH(CH3)2 (10), where ndc=1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate, dpp=4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, ptcp=2-phenyl-1H-1,3,7,8-tetraazacyclopenta[l]phenanthrene, dppz=dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine, tcpn=2-(1H-1,3,7,8-tetraazacyclopenta[l]phenanthren-2-yl)naphthol, tcpp=4-(1H-1,3,7,8-tetraazacyclopenta[l]phenanthren-2-yl)phenol, dma=N,N-dimethylacetamide, bdc=1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, and chdc=1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate, have been synthesized from a hydrothermal or solvothermal reaction system by varying the ligands or the solvents. Compounds 1-5 crystallize with an N-donor chelating ligand and an aromatic dicarboxylate linker. Compounds 1-4 are 1D polymers with different pi-pi stacking interactions, whereas compound 5 consists of 2D layers. The structures of compounds 7, 8, and 10 are 3D frameworks formed by connection of the Pb(II) centers by organic acid ligands. Compound 7 is chiral although the ndc ligand is achiral, while the framework of 8 is a typical 3D (3,4)-connected net. Compound 10 is the first example of Pb(II) wheel cluster [Pb(8)O(8)] units bridged by carboxylate groups. Compound 6 contains 1D chains which are further extended to a 3D structure by pi-pi interactions. Compound 9 consists of a 2D network constructed by Pb(II) centers and trans-chdc ligands. The structural differences between 7 and 8 and between 9 and 10 indicate the importance of solvents for framework formation of the coordination polymers. By varying the solvent the cis and trans conformations of H(2)chdc in 9 and 10 were separated completely. The photoluminescence and nonlinear optical properties of the coordination polymers have also been investigated.

Synthesis of amphiphilic superparamagnetic ferrite/block copolymer hollow submicrospheres.

Self-assembly can be a powerful, but simple, synthetic method for the fabrication and surface modification of nanometer- to micrometer-sized hollow spheres. Here we report a facile route for preparation of submicrometer ferrite hollow spheres which are amphiphilic and superparamagnetic. This unique approach involves the formation of ferrite nanocrystals and the simultaneous self-assembly of nanocrystals and block copolymer PEO-PPO-PEO into hollow spheres. Furthermore, this approach is general for the preparation of a series of ferrite hollow spheres, including Fe3O4, Co1-xFe2+xO4, and Mn1-xFe2+xO4. Unlike conventional hollow spheres, which are either hydrophobic or hydrophilic, the products we obtained exhibit excellent dispersibility in both polar and nonpolar solvents.

Homochiral porous lanthanide phosphonates with 1D triple-strand helical chains: synthesis, photoluminescence, and adsorption properties.

Four homochiral porous lanthanide phosphonates, [Ln(H2L)3].2H2O, (H3L = (S)-HO3PCH2-NHC4H7-CO2H, Ln = Tb (1), Dy (2), Eu (3), Gd (4)), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. These compounds are isostructural, and they possess a 3D supramolecular framework built up from 1D triple-strand helical chains. Each of the helical chain consists of phosphonate groups bridging adjacent Ln(III) ions. The helical chains are stacked through hydrogen bonds to form 1D tubular channels along the c axis. Moreover, helical water chains are located in the 1D channels, and after removal of these water chains, the compounds exhibit selective adsorption capacities for N2, H2O, and CH3OH molecules. Compounds 1 and 3 show strong green and red fluorescent emissions, respectively, in the solid state at room temperature. Crystal data for 1: TbP3O17N3C18H37, tetragonal (No.76), space group P4(1), a = 12.4643(3) Angstrom, b = 12.4643(3) Angstrom, c = 18.7577(5) Angstrom, V = 2914.17(13) Angstrom(3), and Z = 4. For 2: DyP3O17N3C18H37, a = 12.4486(3) Angstrom, b = 12.4486(3) Angstrom, c = 18.7626(5) Angstrom, V = 2907.60(13) Angstrom(3), and Z = 4. For 3, EuP3O17N3C18H37, a = 12.4799(3) Angstrom, b = 12.4799(3) Angstrom, c = 18.8239(5) Angstrom, V = 2931.78(13) Angstrom(3), and Z = 4. For 4: GdP3O17N3C18H37, a = 12.4877(18) Angstrom, b = 12.4877(18) Angstrom, c = 18.824(4) Angstrom, V = 2935.5(8) Angstrom(3), and Z = 4.

Structures, photoluminescence, up-conversion, and magnetism of 2D and 3D rare-earth coordination polymers with multicarboxylate linkages.

Four new rare-earth compounds, [Eu(NDC)1.5(DMF)2] (1), [Nd2(NDC)3(DMF)4].H2O (2), [La2(NDC)3(DMF)4].0.5H2O (3), and [Eu(BTC)(H2O)] (4), where NDC = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate, BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate, and DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide, have been synthesized through preheating and cooling-down crystallization. Compounds 1-3 possess similar 2D structures, in which the NDC ligands link M(III) (M = La, Nd, and Eu) ions of two adjacent double chains constructed by NDC ligands and dinuclear M(III) building units. In compound 4, the Eu(III) ion is seven-coordinated by O atoms from six BTC ligands and one terminal water molecule in a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination environment. If the BTC ligand and the Eu(III) ion are regarded as six-connected nodes, respectively, the structure of compound 4 can be well described as a 3D six-connected net. Furthermore, compounds 1 and 4 exhibit strong red luminescence upon 355-nm excitation. Compound 2 displays interesting emissions in the near-IR region, and yellow (580 nm) pumping of this compound results in UV and intense blue emissions through an up-conversion process. The magnetic properties of compounds 1, 2, and 4 have been studied through measurement of their magnetic susceptibilities over the temperature range of 4-300 K.

Controlled growth and photocatalytic properties of CdS nanocrystals implanted in layered metal hydroxide matrixes.

Layered double hydroxide Cd(1)(-)(x)()Al(x)()(OH)(2)(DS)(x)().3.0H(2)O (CdAlDS) and a related hydroxide salt compound Cd(2)(OH)(3)(DS).2.5H(2)O (CdDS), where DS stands for dodecyl sulfate sandwiched between two adjacent inorganic layers, have been synthesized and used as precursors for CdS nanoparticle growth. Through a gas/solid reaction, CdS nanocrystals implanted in the layer matrixes of the layered double hydroxides are grown, and the sizes of the nanocrystals vary in the range of 3-6 nm in diameter. The presence of trivalent Al cations in the layered double hydroxide can be taken advantage of to control the size of the CdS nanocrystals, and it also helps to prevent the formed nanocrystals from extraction from the solid matrixes. The nano-CdS implanted composite exhibits high photocatalytic activity for degradation of the nonbiodegradable rhodamine B under both UV and visible irradiations.

These compounds possess the isostructural 3D frameworks with 1D chairlike channels along the c axis, which are occupied by noncoordinating water molecules. Crystal data: for 1, C(35)H(41)Gd(2)Ni(2)N(5)O(33), orthorhombic, space group Pna2(1), with a = 28.567(6) A, b = 14.498(3) A, c = 12.250(2) A, and Z = 4; for 2, C(35)H(40)Gd(2)Co(2)N(5)O(32.5), orthorhombic, space group Pna2(1), with a = 28.843(3) A, b = 14.4325(13) A, c = 12.2275(9) A, and Z = 4; for 3, C(35)H(40)Dy(2)Co(2)N(5)O(32.5), orthorhombic, space group Pna2(1), with a = 28.8471(14) A, b = 14.4534(10) A, c = 12.2520(7) A, and Z = 4. The magnetic behaviors for the three compounds have been investigated.

Syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties of mixed-valent diruthenium(II,III) diphosphonates with discrete and one-dimensional structures.

Four mixed-valent ruthenium diphosphonates, namely, Na(4)[Ru(2)(hedp)(2)X]x16H(2)O [X = Cl (1), Br (2)], K(3)[Ru(2)(hedp)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]x6H(2)O (3), and Na(7)[Ru(2)(hedp)(2)Fe(CN)(6)]x24H(2)O (4), where hedp represents 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonate [CH(3)C(OH)(PO(3))(2)](4-), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Compounds 1, 2, and 4 show linear chain structures in which the mixed-valent [Ru(2)(hedp)(2)](3-) dimers are linked by X(-) or [Fe(CN)(6)](4-) bridges. Compound 3 contains discrete species of [Ru(2)(hedp)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](3-) where the axial positions of [Ru(2)(hedp)(2)](3-) paddlewheel are terminated by water molecules. Magnetic studies show that significant antiferromagnetic exchanges are mediated between the [Ru(2)(hedp)(2)](3-) (S = 3/2) units through halide bridges in compounds 1 and 2.

Water-insoluble Ag-U-organic assemblies with photocatalytic activity.

Two metal-organic coordination polymers [Ag(bipy)(UO(2))(bdc)(1.5)] (bipy=2,2'-bipyridyl, bdc=1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) and [Ag(2)(phen)(2)UO(2)(btec)] (phen=1,10-phenanthroline, btec=1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate) were obtained by hydrothermal assembly of the d(10) metal silver and the 5f metal uranium with mixed ligands. Both compounds form two-dimensional networks with pi-pi overlap interactions between the aromatic fragments in the neighboring layers. In aqueous suspension the two water-insoluble materials show photocatalytic degradation performance superior to that of commercial TiO(2) (Degussa P-25) when tested on nonbiodegradable rhodamine B (RhB) as model pollutant. The relationship between the structure of the photocatalysts and the photocatalytic activity was also elucidated. On the basis of the monitored intermediate species and the final mineralized products, it is proposed that the possible reaction mechanism for the photodegradation (oxidation) of RhB in aqueous solution catalyzed by the two assembly compounds involves photoexcitation of uranyl centers and molecular oxygen.

Chemical formation of mononuclear univalent zinc in a microporous crystalline silicoaluminophosphate.

A host-guest compound containing mononuclear univalent Zn+ ions has been prepared through vapor reaction of metallic zinc with protons in the cages of SAPO-CHA, a silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve. Unlike in fused ZnCl2 salt, the formed Zn+ species are associated with the molecular sieve walls, and this prevents the cations from getting paired to form diamagnetic (Zn-Zn)2+. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy reveals the paramagnetic nature of the Zn+ species which display anisotropic g factors, and the two crystallographically independent Zn+ sites are distinguishable from the ESR signals. The magnetic moments of the univalent zinc in SAPO-CHA interact antiferromagnetically at low temperatures with a Néel point of about 4 K as observed from the temperature dependence plot of the magnetic susceptibility of the host-guest compound.

Photoluminescent metal-organic polymer constructed from trimetallic clusters and mixed carboxylates.

The solvothermal reaction of zinc acetate dihydrate with a mixture of benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H(2)BDC) and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (H(3)BTC) in a solution containing N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF), absolute ethanol, and chlorobenzene gave rise to a metal-organic polymer, Zn(3).BDC.2BTC.2NH(CH(3))(2).2NH(2)(CH(3))(2). The structure of this polymer possesses a unique three-dimensional framework with tri-zinc clusters, and BDC and BTC units colinking the clusters. Moreover, this metal-organic polymer exhibits strong photoluminescence at room temperature, and the main emission band is at about 430 nm (lambda(ex) = 325 nm). Crystal data for this compound (C(17)H(20)N(2)O(8)Zn(1.5)): monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, cell dimensions a = 11.6171(3) A, b = 14.2456(4) A, c = 12.6426(3) A, beta = 107.030(2) degrees, V = 2000.51(9) A(3), and Z = 4.
