2011

Abstract A novel oxalato-bridged rhenium(IV)-copper(II) compound, namely [ReIVBr4(μ-ox)CuII(bpy)2] (1), has been obtained by reacting (PPh4)2[ReBr4(ox)] with Cu(CF3SO3)2 and 2,2′-bpy in CH3CN, and its crystal structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Intermolecular Br⋯Br interactions and nonbonding Cu⋯Br type contacts between the heterobimetallic dinuclear units lead to a two-dimensional supramolecular structure. Compound 1 behaves magnetically as a [ReIVCuII]2 tetranuclear species with weak antiferromagnetic interactions through the oxalato bridge and intermolecular Br⋯Br contacts.

Malonate-based copper(II) coordination compounds: Ferromagnetic coupling controlled by dicarboxylates

2003

Studies on structural and magnetic properties of polynuclear transition metal complexes, aimed at understanding the structural and chemical factors governing electronic exchange coupling mediated by multiatom bridging ligands, are of continuing interest to design new molecular materials exhibiting unusual magnetic, optical and electrical properties, bound to their molecular nature. Looking at potentially flexible bridging ligands, the malonate group seems a suitable candidate. The occurrence of two carboxylate groups in the 1,3 positions allows this ligand to adopt simultaneously chelating bidentate and different carboxylato bridging modes (syn–syn, anti–anti and syn–anti trough one or two …

2019

Abstract Loading hyperbranched polyethylenimine (PEI) with copper(II) ions leads to the formation of a new water-soluble metallodendritic polymer Cu(II)-PEI that has been found to effectively catalyze the clickable azide-alkyne [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions in water under ambient conditions, in the lack of any external reducing agent. A positive dendritic effect on the catalyst activity was observed in the click of 1,2,3-triazole by lowering the reduction potential of copper(II) into the in-situ generation of the catalytically active species copper(I).

Malonic acid: A multi-modal bridging ligand for new architectures and properties on molecule-based magnets

2003

Abstract In this work, we show how the design of one-, two- and three-dimensional materials can strongly benefit from the use of crystal engineering techniques, which can give rise to structures of different shapes, and how these differences can give rise to different properties. We will focus on the networks constructed by assembling malonate ligands and metal centres. The idea of using malonate (dianion of propanedioic acid, H 2 mal) is that they can give rise to different coordination modes with the metal ions bind. Extended magnetic networks of dimensionalities 1 (1D), 2 (2D) and 3 (3D) can be chemically constructed from malonato-bridged metallic complexes. These coordination polymers b…

Synthesis, Structural, Thermal and Magnetic Characterization of a Pyrophosphato‐Bridged Cobalt(II) Complex

2008

The reaction in water of CoII sulfate heptahydrate with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and sodium pyrophosphate (Na4P2O7) in a 2:4:1 stoichiometric ratio resulted in the crystallization of a neutral dinuclear CoII complex, {[Co(phen)2]2(μ-P2O7)}·6MeOH (1), as revealed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The bridging pyrophosphato ligand between the two [Co(phen)2]2+ units in a bis(bidentate) coordination mode places the adjacent metal centers at 4.857 A distance, and its conformation gives rise to intramolecular π–π stacking interaction between adjacent phen ligands. Indeed, intermolecular π–π stacking interactions between phen ligands from adjacent dinuclear complexes create a supramo…

Three new gadolinium(III) complexes of formula [Gd4(bta) 3(H2O)16]n·12nH2O (1), [Gd4(bta)3(H2O)12] n·18nH2O (2) and [Gd2(H 2bta)(bta)(H2O)2]n·4nH 2O (3) (H4bta = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid) have been synthesized and their structures determined by X-ray diffraction. 1 and 3 are three-dimensional compounds whereas 2 exhibits a two-dimensional structure. The ability of the bta4- to adopt different coordination modes accounts for these high dimensionalities although it precludes a rational structural design. The structures of 1-3 have in common the double oxo-carboxylate bridge between gadolinium(III) ions (μ-O: κ2O,O′) either as a discrete units (1 and 2) or as a chain (3) and one (3)…

Solid‐State Anion–Guest Encapsulation by Metallosupramolecular Capsules Made from Two Tetranuclear Copper(II) Complexes

2007

A new cationic tetranuclear copper(II) complex self-assembles from one 1,3-phenylenebis(oxamato) (mpba) bridging ligand and four CuII ions partially blocked with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen) terminal ligands.

Recent advances in copper-based solid heterogeneous catalysts for azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions

2022

The copper(I)-catalyzed azide−alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction is considered to be the most representative ligation process within the context of the “click chemistry” concept. This CuAAC reaction, which yields compounds containing a 1,2,3-triazole core, has become relevant in the construction of biologically complex systems, bioconjugation strategies, and supramolecular and material sciences. Although many CuAAC reactions are performed under homogenous conditions, heterogenous copper-based catalytic systems are gaining exponential interest, relying on the easy removal, recovery, and reusability of catalytically copper species. The present review covers the most recently developed copp…

2011

Abstract The use as coligands of the nicotinamide (nia) and isonicotinamide (inia) molecules in the complex formation between copper(II) and phenylmalonate [Phmal = dianion of phenylmalonic acid] yielded the compounds of formula [Cu(inia)(Phmal)(H2O)] (1) and [Cu(inia)(Phmal)(H2O)]n (2). Although single crystals of 1 of appropriate size were grown, their unresolved twinning and space group ambiguity prevented a satisfactory X-ray structure determination. The crystal structure 2 consists of corrugated layers of copper(II) ions with intralayer carboxylate–phenylmalonate bridges in the anti-syn (equatorial-apical) coordination mode.

Thermodynamics of the two-dimensional Heisenberg classical honeycomb lattice

1998

In this article we adapt a previous work concerning the two-dimensional (2D) Heisenberg classical square lattice [Physica B 245, 263 (1998)] to the case of a honeycomb lattice. Closed-form expressions of the main thermodynamic functions of interest are derived in the zero-field limit. Notably, near absolute zero (i.e., the critical temperature), we derive the values of the critical exponents $\ensuremath{\alpha}=0,\ensuremath{\eta}=\ensuremath{-}1,\ensuremath{\gamma}=3,$ and $\ensuremath{\nu}=1,$ as for the square lattice, thus proving their universal character. A very simple model allows one to give a good description of the low-temperature behaviors of the product $\ensuremath{\chi}T.$ Fo…

Coordination chemistry of N,N′-bis(coordinating group substituted)oxamides: a rational design of nuclearity tailored polynuclear complexes

1999

Abstract The coordinating properties of N , N ′-bis(coordinating group substituted)oxamides have been thoroughly investigated both in aqueous solution and in the solid state. The easy cis – trans isomerization equilibria that they exhibit together with the great variety of N , N ′-substituents which can be used to play on the overall charge, complexing ability and polarity, make them very suitable ligands in designing homo- and heterometallic species. The knowledge of their complex formation in aqueous solution by potentiometry and using the hydrogen ion concentration as a probe, allowed us to settle the basis of a rational design of oxamidate-containing polynuclear species whose nuclearity…

2001

Abstract The reaction between copper(II) acetate with 2,2′-bipyridine and K3[Cr(C2O4)3] leads to the novel salt [Cu(bipy)2(CH3COO)][Cu(bipy)2(Cr(C2O4)3)]·∼10.5H2O, 1 (bipy=2,2′-bipyridine). The crystal structure of 1 consists of mononuclear cationic species [Cu(bipy)2(CH3COO)]+ and heterobinuclear anionic units, [Cu(bipy)2(Cr(C2O4)3)]−. The tris-oxalato-chromium entity behaves as a monodentate ligand toward the copper(II) ion within the complex anion. The distance between Cr(III) and Cu(II) across the bridging oxalato group is 5.056(2) A. The copper(II) ions exhibit a distorted trigonal bipyramidal surrounding in both cationic and anionic species. The π–π stacking interaction between bipy l…

Magneto-structural correlations in a family of ReIVCuII chains based on the hexachlororhenate(IV) metalloligand

2017

Six novel one-dimensional chloro-bridged ReIVCuII complexes of formula {[Cu(L)4][ReCl6]}n, where L = imidazole (Imi, 1), 1-methylimidazole (Meim, 2), 1-vinylimidazole (Vim, 3), 1-butylimidazole (Buim, 4), 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole (Vtri, 5) and N,N’-dimethylformamide (DMF, 6) are characterised structurally, magnetically and theoretically. The structures exhibit significant differences in Cu–Cl bond lengths and Re–Cl–Cu bridging angles, resulting in large differences in the nature and magnitude of magnetic exchange interactions between the ReIV and CuII ions. Theoretical calculations reveal the coupling to be primarily ferromagnetic, increasing in magnitude as the bridging angle becomes smaller…

Reversible Solvatomagnetic Switching in a Spongelike Manganese(II)-Copper(II) 3D Open Framework with a Pillared Square/Octagonal Layer Architecture

2012

The concept of "molecular magnetic sponges" was introduced for the first time in 1999 by the creative imagination of the late Olivier Kahn. It refers to the exotic spongelike behavior of certain molecule-based materials that undergo a dramatic change of their magnetic properties upon reversible dehydration/rehydration processes. Here we report a unique example of a manganese(II)-copper(II) mixed-metal-organic framework of formula [Na(H(2)O)(4)](4)[Mn(4){Cu(2)(mpba)(2)(H(2)O)(4)}(3)]·56.5H(2)O (1) (mpba=N,N'-1,3-phenylenebis(oxamate)). Compound 1 possesses a 3D Mn(II)(4)Cu(II)(6) pillared layer structure with mixed square and octagonal pores of approximate dimensions 1.2×1.2 nm and 2.1×3.0 n…

2011

Self-assembly of the rigid rodlike ligand N,N'-4,4'-diphenylethynebis(oxamate) (dpeba) and Cu(2+) ions affords a novel dinuclear copper(II) metallacyclophane (nBu(4)N)(4)[Cu(2)(dpeba)(2)]·4MeOH·2Et(2)O (1) featuring a very long intermetallic distance (r = 15.0 Å). Magnetic susceptibility measurements for 1 reveal a moderately weak but nonnegligible intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling between the two metal centers across the double para-substituted diphenylethynediamidate bridge (J = -3.9 cm(-1); H = -JS(1)S(2), where S(1) = S(2) = S(Cu) = (1)/(2)). Density functional electronic structure calculations on 1 support the occurrence of a spin polarization mechanism.

1992

Abstract The synthesis, EPR, magnetic and Mossbauer properties of two iron(III) complexes are reported. The heterodinuclear iron(III)-copper(II) complex Cu(salen)Fe(acac)2NO3 is obtained as an adduct from the reaction of the two mononuclear moieties, the Cu(salen) molecule and the mononuclear iron(III) molecule Fe(acac)2NO3 acting as a precursor of the dinuclear unit. The latter molecule itself has been prepared by ligand substitution from the tris-acetylacetonate Fe(acac)3. The dinuclear complex is characterized by comparing the properties of the mono- and the dinuclear complex. Fe(acac)2NO3 is identified from its typical IR spectrum with the main nitrate vibrations at 1380, 1250 and 1010 …

Cellulose‑copper as bio-supported recyclable catalyst for the clickable azide-alkyne [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction in water.

2018

Abstract Naturally-occurring cellulose has been employed as a bio-support macromolecule for the immobilization of either copper(I) or copper(II) ions in order to click azide and alkyne derivatives in water. Under such a click regime, 1,4-disubstitued-1,2,3-triazoles were obtained regioselectively in excellent yields at room temperature. The reaction work-up is simple and the bio-heterogeneous catalyst that has been fully characterized by AAS, SEM, EDX and FT-IR can be easily separated and reused at least five times without any significant decrease in its activity and selectivity, particularly in the case of the very stable CuI-Cellulose.

Magnetic properties of six-coordinated high-spin cobalt(II) complexes: Theoretical background and its application

2008

Abstract In this contribution we study and analyse the influence of the different parameters involved in the magnetic susceptibility of six-coordinated high-spin Co(II) complexes. We propose an empirical expression to fit the magnetic susceptibility of polycrystalline samples of mononuclear Co(II) complexes with an axial distortion, the variable parameters being Δ (axial distortion), α (orbital reduction factor) and λ (spin–orbit coupling). This expression avoids solving the 12 × 12 matrix associated to the distortion of the 4 T 1g term. In order to take into account the magnetic coupling ( J ) in the polynuclear Co(II) complexes, a perturbational approach is proposed to describe their magn…

Solid-State Aggregation of Metallacyclophane-Based MnIICuII One-Dimensional Ladders

2012

Two distinct one-dimensional (1) and two-dimensional (2) mixed-metal-organic polymers have been synthesized by using the "complex-as-ligand" strategy. The structure of 1 consists of isolated ladderlike Mn(II)(2)Cu(II)(2) chains separated from each other by neutral Mn(II)(2) dimers, whereas 2 possesses an overall corrugated layer structure built from additional coordinative interactions between adjacent Mn(II)(2)Cu(II)(2) ladders. Interestingly, 1 and 2 show overall ferri- and antiferromagnetic behavior, respectively, as a result of their distinct crystalline aggregation in the solid state.

Synthesis, structural, thermal, and magnetic investigations of Co(II), Ni(II), and Mn(II) pyrophosphate chains

2012

The reaction in water of cobalt(II), nickel(II) or manganese(II) chloride with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and sodium pyrophosphate (Na 4 P 2 O 7 ) at low pH (∼2) afforded three isostructural pyrophosphate complexes of an unprecedented one-dimensional typology, namely, {[M(phen)(H 2 O)(H 2 P 2 O 7 )]·H 2 O} n with M = Co( 1 ), Ni( 2 ) and Mn( 3 ). The di-hydrogen-pyrophosphate anion featured in these complexes adopts a rare bidentate/monodentate bridging mode leading to chain propagation. This unusual bridging pathway produces a metal–metal intra-chain separation of about 6.6–6.7 A for 1 – 3 , values much larger than the metal–metal distance across the classic bis-bidentate PPi in the parent…

2017

The employment of pyrazine (pyz), pyrimidine (pym) and s-triazine (triz) ligands in ReIV chemistry leads to the isolation of a family of complexes of general formula (NBu4)2[(ReX5)2(μ-L)] (L = pyz, X = Cl (1) or Br (2); L = pym, X = Br (3); L = triz, X = Br (4)). 1-4 are dinuclear compounds where two pentahalorhenium(iv) fragments are connected by bidentate pyz, pym and triz ligands. Variable-temperature magnetic measurements, in combination with detailed theoretical studies, uncover the underlying magneto-structural correlation whereby the nature of the exchange between the metal ions is dictated by the number of intervening atoms. That is, the spin-polarization mechanism present dictates …

Rational Synthesis of Chiral Metal-Organic Frameworks from Preformed Rodlike Secondary Building Units.

2017

The lack of rational design methodologies to obtain chiral rod-based MOFs is a current synthetic limitation that hampers further expansion of MOF chemistry. Here we report a metalloligand design strategy consisting of the use, for the first time, of preformed 1D rodlike SBUs (1) for the rational preparation of a chiral 3D MOF (2) exhibiting a rare eta net topology. The encoded chiral information on the enantiopure ligand is efficiently transmitted first to the preformed helical 1D building block and, in a second stage, to the resulting chiral 3D MOF. These results open new routes for the rational design of chiral rod-based MOFs, expanding the scope of these unique porous materials.

We report on a novel manganese(III)-porphyrin complex with the formula [Mn(III) (TPP)(3,5-Me2 pyNO)2 ]ClO4 ⋅CH3 CN (2; 3,5-Me2 pyNO=3,5-dimethylpyridine N-oxide, H2 TPP=5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin), in which the Mn(III) ion is six-coordinate with two monodentate 3,5-Me2 pyNO molecules and a tetradentate TPP ligand to build a tetragonally elongated octahedral geometry. The environment in 2 is responsible for the large and negative axial zero-field splitting (D=-3.8 cm(-1) ), low rhombicity (E/|D|=0.04) of the high-spin Mn(III) ion, and, ultimately, for the observation of slow magnetic-relaxation effects (Ea =15.5 cm(-1) at H=1000 G) in this rare example of a manganese-based single-ion ma…

Potentiometric study of the formation of hydroxo complexes of [Cu(terpy)]2+. Synthesis and crystal structure of [Cu(terpy) (H2O)](CF3SO3)2

1992

Two complexes of formula [Cu(terpy)(H2O)](CF3SO3)2 (1) and [Cu(terpy)(OH)]BPh4 (2) (terpy=2,2′∶6′,2″-terpyridine and BPh4=tetraphenylborate anion) have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. The x-ray crystal structure of (1) has been determined by x-ray diffraction. The structure is made up of [Cu(terpy)(H2O)]2+ mononuclear cations plus semi-coordinated CF3SO3 − anions. The coordination geometry around the copper atom is approximately elongated tetragonal octahedral. The oxygen atom of water and the three nitrogen atoms of terpy occupy the equatorial sites whereas the apical ones are filled by trifluoromethanesulphonate oxygen atoms. The formation of hydroxo comple…

Dicopper(II) metallacyclophanes with photoswitchable oligoacene spacers: a joint experimental and computational study on molecular magnetic photoswit…

2018

Dinuclear copper(II) complexes of the metallacyclophane-type, (nBu4N)4[Cu2(2,6-anba)2] (1) and (nBu4N)4[Cu2(1,5-naba)2]·4H2O (2) with photoactive 2,6-anthracene-(2,6-anba) and 1,5-naphthalenebis(oxamate) (1,5-naba) bridging ligands, are reported. They undergo a thermally reversible, solid-state photomagnetic (ON/OFF) switching between the moderately strong antiferromagnetically coupled dicopper(II) species and the corresponding magnetically uncoupled [4+4] photocycloaddition product. Density functional calculations give further insights on the intramolecular (“pseudo-bimolecular”) photocycloaddition reaction of the two facing 2,6-anthracene or 1,5-naphthalene spacers in this novel family of…

These compounds present a single-crystal to single-crystal phase transition from expanded A phases toward the B shrinking networks, which is triggered only in the presence of a dry environment. This phase transition is accompanied by a compression of the cry…

Hydrogen-bonded 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole (pyim) manganese(II) complexes as building blocks for molecular assembling: Syntheses and structural character…

2008

Abstract The preparation and crystal structures of three new manganese(II) complexes with 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole (pyim) and pseudohalides as ligands, cis-[Mn(pyim)2(N3)2] (1), cis-[Mn(pyim)2(NCO)2] (2) and cis-[Mn(pyim)2(NCS)2] (3), are reported. The structural building block in each structure is a mononuclear, neutral complex unit. The metal ion in each case adopts a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with the two pseudohalide ligands in cis positions. The main differences between the molecular structures of the three compounds are associated with the orientation of the anionic ligands. Hydrogen bonds between imidazole N–H and the metal-coordinated nitrogen atom of the pseudohalide…

Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of 2-dicyanomethylene-1,3-bis(ferrocenylmethyl)-1,3-diazolidine

1993

By reaction of N,N′-ethylenebis(ferrocenylmethylamine)1 with tetracyanoethylene in dichloromethane the yellow compound 2-dicyanomethylene-1,3-bis(ferrocenylmethyl)-1,3-diazolidine 2 can be isolated. The single-crystal structure of 2 has been determined. It crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric trigonal space group P3221, a= 12.255(2), c= 13.831(7)A, Z= 3. Refinement of the atomic parameters by least-squares techniques gave a final R factor of 0.038 (R′= 0.034) for 1782 observed reflections having I > 2.5δ(I). Anomalous values of the bond distances and the vinyl carbon chemical shift in the 13C NMR spectrum of 2 are explained on the basis of a polarization due to a combination of the elect…

Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of [Cu(bpym)(mal)(H2O)]·6H2O and [Cu2(bpym)(mal)2(H2O)2]·4H2O (bpym=2,2′-bipyrimidine, H2mal=mal…

2001

Abstract Two new mixed-ligand complexes of formula [Cu(bpym)(mal)(H2O)]·6H2O (1) and [Cu2(bpym)(mal)2(H2O)2]·4H2O (2) (bpym=2,2′-bipyrimidine and H2mal=malonic acid) have been synthesised and characterised by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal structure of 1 consists of mononuclear [Cu(bpym)(mal)(H2O)] units in which the copper atom shows a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment with two bpym-nitrogen and two malonate-oxygen atoms forming the equatorial plane and a water molecule in the axial position. The structure of 2 is built by centrosymmetric bpym-bridged dinuclear [Cu2(bpym)(mal)2(H2O)2] units, in which the geometry of each Cu(II) ion is similar to that found in 1. Malon…

2019

Abstract The synthesis, X-ray structure and magnetic properties of the neutral tetranuclear copper(II) complex of formula [Cu4(pz)4(hppa)2(H2O)4] (1) [Hpz = pyrazole and hppa = R,S-2-hydroxo-2-phenyl-2-(1-pyrazolyl)acetate] are reported. Remarkably, the structure of 1 reveals the presence of the S- and R-forms of the new hppa ligand which is formed in situ in the complex reaction between copper(II), pyrazole and phenylmalonate in water:methanol solvent mixture under ambient conditions. The two crystallographically independent copper(II) ions [Cu(1)/Cu(2)] are five-coordinate in square pyramidal surroundings. Three nitrogen atoms, from two pz groups and one hppa ligand and one oxygen atom of…

Self-Assembly of the Hexabromorhenate(IV) Anion with Protonated Benzotriazoles: X-ray Structure and Magnetic Properties

2014

Two novel ReIV compounds of formulas [HBTA]2[ReIVBr6] (1) and [HMEBTA]2[ReIVBr6] (2) [BTA = 1H-benzotriazole and MEBTA = 1-(methoxymethyl)-1H-benzotriazole] have been synthesized and magneto-structurally characterized. 1 and 2 crystallize in the triclinic system with space group P1̅. In both compounds, the rhenium ion is six-coordinate, bonded to six bromo ligands in a regular octahedral geometry. Short ReIV–Br···Br–ReIV contacts, π–π stacking, and H-bonding interactions occur in the crystal lattice of both 1 and 2, generating novel supramolecular structures based on the ReIV. The different dispositions of the cations and the intermolecular Br···Br contacts in 1 and 2 play an important stru…

2018

This work concerns the oxalate delivery process that occurs when using (NH4)3[NbO(C2O4)3]·6H2O as a suitable oxalate source in the synthesis of two compounds, [Cu(dmphen)(C2O4)(H2O)] (1) and [{Cu(dmphen)(CH3OH)}2(μ-C2O4)](ClO4)2 (2) (dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline). {[Fe{HB(pz)3}(CN)2(μ-CN)]2[{Cu(dmphen)}2(μ-C2O4)]}∙xCH3OH (3) (2.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.4) was obtained by reacting 2 and PPh4[Fe{HB(pz)3}(CN)3]∙H2O [ = tetraphenylphosphonium and = tris(pyrazolyl)borate]. Crystal structures of 1–3 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments: 1 is a mononuclear trigonal bipyramidal copper(II) species, 2 is a centrosymmetric oxalato-bridged dicopper(II) complex, and 3 consi…

Solid-state dinuclear-to-trinuclear conversion in an oxalato-bridged chromium(III)-cobalt(II) complex as a new route toward single-molecule magnets.

2011

A novel bis(oxalato)chromium(III) salt of a ferromagnetically coupled, oxalato-bridged dinuclear chromium(III)-cobalt(II) complex of formula [CrL(ox)(2)CoL'(H(2)O)(2)][CrL(ox)(2)]·4H(2)O (1) has been self-assembled in solution using different aromatic α,α'-diimines as blocking ligands, such as 2,2'-bipyridine (L = bpy) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (L' = Me(2)phen). Thermal dehydration of 1 leads to an intriguing solid-state reaction between the S = 3/2 Cr(III) anions and the S = 3 Cr(III)Co(II) cations to give a ferromagnetically coupled, oxalato-bridged trinuclear chromium(III)-cobalt(II) complex of formula {[CrL(ox)(2)](2)CoL'} (2). Complex 2 possesses a moderately anisotropic S =…

Solvent effects on the dimensionality of oxamato-bridged manganese(II) compounds

2018

Two new oxamate-containing manganese(II) complexes, [{Mn(H2edpba)(H2O)2}2]n (1) and [Mn(H2edpba)(dmso)2]∙dmso∙CH3COCH3∙H2O (2) (H4edpba = N,N′-ethylenediphenylenebis(oxamic acid) and dmso = dimethylsulfoxide), have been synthesized and the structures of 1 and 2 were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 1 consists of neutral honeycomb networks in which each manganese(II) is six-coordinate by one H2edpba2− ligand and two carboxylate–oxygens from two other H2edpba2− ligands building the equatorial plane. Each manganese is connected to its nearest neighbor through two carboxylate(monoprotonated oxamate) bridges in an anti-syn conformation. A dmso solution of singl…
