Ferromagnetic Coupling in “Double-Bridged” Dihydrogenpyrophosphate Complexes of Cobalt(II) and Nickel(II)
2015
Three isostructural compounds of the formula {[M(bipy)(H2O)(H2P2O7)]2·2H2O} [bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine; M = Ni (1), Co (2), Mn (3)] have been isolated from aqueous solutions containing the corresponding metal(II) chloride hydrate with a bipy and sodium pyrophosphate solution in a 1:1:2 molar ratio, and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structures of 1-3 consist of neutral aqua(2,2'-bipyridine)metal(II) dinuclear units bridged by two dihydrogenpyrophosphate groups adopting a bidentate/monodentate mode. Each metal ion in 1-3 is six-coordinate in a distorted octahedral geometry, with the reduced value of the angle subtended by the chelating bipy at the meta…
Copper(II)-phenylmalonate complexes with the bifunctional ligands nicotinamide and isonicotinamide
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. A water molecule and the isonicotinamide group are coordinate…
Binuclear Nickel(II) Complexes Based on Bridging Oxalate and Pseudohalides as Peripheral Ligands: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, DFT Calculations and …
2000
Nickel(II) molecular complexes were obtained by water displacement reactions of [{Ni(dien)(H2O)}2(μ-ox)]Cl2 and the corresponding pseudohalide. The three nickel(II) compounds [{Ni(N3)(dien)}2(μ-ox)] (1), [{Ni(NCO)(dien)}2(μ-ox)] · H2O (2) and [{Ni(NCS)(dien)}2(μ-ox)] (3) are almost isostructural. The structure determinations reveal the presence of a binuclear complex with C2h symmetry, where the oxalate ligand is coordinated in a bis(bidentate) fashion to the twofold related nickel atoms. The distorted octahedral environment of each nickel atom is completed by the three nitrogen atoms of the diethylenetriamine ligand in a fac arrangement and one nitrogen atom from a pseudohalide ligand. Mag…
Mono- and Binuclear Copper(II) and Nickel(II) Complexes with the 3,6-Bis(picolylamino)-1,2,4,5-Tetrazine Ligand
2021
Four new compounds of formulas [Cu(hfac)2(L)] (1), [Ni(hfac)2(L)] (2), [{Cu(hfac)2}2(µ-L)]·2CH3OH (3) and [{Ni(hfac)2}2(µ-L)]·2CH3CN (4) [Hhfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone and L = 3,6-bis(picolylamino)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine] have been prepared and their structures determined by X-ray diffraction on single crystals. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural mononuclear complexes where the metal ions [copper(II) (1) and nickel(II) (2)] are six-coordinated in distorted octahedral MN2O4 surroundings which are built by two bidentate hfac ligands plus another bidentate L molecule. This last ligand coordinates to the metal ions through the nitrogen atoms of the picolylamine fragment. Compounds 3 and 4 are cen…
Enhancing the Magnetic Coupling of Oxalato-Bridged ReIV2MII (M = Mn, Co, Ni, and Cu) Trinuclear Complexes via Peripheral Halide Ligand Effects
2011
Four heterotrinuclear Re(IV)(2)M(II) compounds of general formula (NBu(4))(2)[{Re(IV)Br(4)(μ-ox)}(2)M(II)(Him)(2)] [NBu(4)(+) = tetra-n-butylammonium cation, ox = oxalate, Him = imidazole; M = Mn (1), Co (2), Ni (3), and Cu (4)] have been synthesized by using the novel mononuclear complex [Re(IV)Br(4)(ox)](2-) as a ligand toward divalent first-row transition metal ions in the presence of imidazole. Compounds 1-4 are isostructural complexes whose structure contains discrete trinuclear [{Re(IV)Br(4)(μ-ox)}(2)M(II)(Him)(2)](2-) anions and bulky NBu(4)(+) cations. The Re and M atoms are six-coordinated: four peripheral bromo and two oxalate-oxygens (at Re), and two cis-coordinated imidazole mol…
Syntheses, structural characterisation and magnetic properties of Fe(ii) and Mn(ii) compounds with the pentacyanopropenido ligand; structural charact…
2006
International audience; Reactions between the metal(II) salts [M(CH3CN)n](BF4)2 (M = Fe, n = 6; M = Mn, n = 4) and some organic anionic polynitriles were studied. With the pentacyanopropenide anion pcp− [pcp− = (NC)2CC(CN)C(CN)2−], were obtained, according to the experimental conditions, the new complexes [M(pcp)2(H2O)4] (1, M = Fe; 2, M = Mn) and [M(pcp)2] (3, M = Fe; 4 = Mn). Use of the hexacyano-3,4-diazahexadienediide anion [(NC)2CC(CN)NNC(CN)C(CN)22−] instead of pcp− did not afford polynitrile metal complexes but led to a new organic derivative 5, of formula C10N8H2. Crystallographic studies indicated that the isostructural compounds 1 and 2 involve discrete monomeric units with pcp li…
Landau theory applied to phase transitions in calcium orthotungstate and isostructural compounds
2007
The pressure-driven tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transition in CaWO4 and related scheelite-structured orthotungstates is analysed in terms of spontaneous strains. Based upon our previous high-pressure x-ray diffraction results and the Landau theory, it is suggested that the scheelite-to-fergusonite transition is of second order in nature.
XAFS analysis of the low symmetry octahedral molybdenum and tungsten oxides
1995
Abstract Comparative XAFS analysis of the main isostructural crystalline phases of W(Mo)O3 oxides and W(Mo)O3·nH2O hydrates has been done at the W L3 and Mo K edges. These compounds have (1) 3D perovskite-type (PT) structure (m-WO3); (2) 2D PT structure (WO3·H2O and MoO3·nH2O (n = 1,2)); (3) 2D hexagonal-type structure (WO3·1/3H2O) and (4) 2D double layered structure (α-MoO3). The detailed analysis of X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in the low-symmetry structures shows that in order to simulate the experimental spectrum, it is sufficient to take into account single-scattering contributions in the range from 1.7 to ∼ 5.0 A and a number of multiple-scattering paths from nearly linear a…
X-ray study of the light-induced metastable state of a spin-crossover compound
2000
Iron(II) complexes exhibiting thermal spin crossover may be converted from the1A1low-spin (LS) state to the5T2high-spin (HS) state by irradiation with green light (light-induced excited spin-state trapping, LIESST). The lifetime of the metastable LIESST state may be sufficiently long for X-ray diffraction study. The lattice parameters of a single crystal of [Fe(ptz)6](BF4)2(ptz = propyltetrazole) were measured between 300 and 10 K, while the crystal changed from the HS to the LS state near 135 K. Using the green light (514 nm) of an argon-ion laser, the crystal was quantitatively converted to the metastable LIESST state at 10 K; its lattice parameters were measured up to 50 K, at which poin…
Crystal behavior of potassium bromate under compression.
2015
We report on high-pressure angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction data up to 15 GPa andab initiototal-energy calculations up to 242 GPa for KBrO3. No phase transition was found below 15 Pa in contrast to previously reported data. Its experimental bulk modulus in the quasi-hydrostatic regime isB0= 18.8 (9) GPa with a bulk modulus pressure derivativeB′0= 8.2 (4). However, according to ourab initiocalculations, KBrO3significantly reduces its rhombohedral distortionviasmall cooperative movements of the atoms and the structure progressively approaches the cubic symmetry, where the KBr subarray would adopt a topology similar to that of the corresponding B2-type bromide. This rearrangement of atoms is…
