Inclusion Complexes for Use in Room-Temperature Gas-Sensor Design

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 33 2007
Liwei Mi
Abstract The inclusion complex [{Co(bpy)(H2O)4}·(fcds)]n (1), which has been constructed using the guest molecule ferrocene-1,1,-disulfonate (fcds), the bridging ligand 4,4,-bipyridine (bpy) and d7 Co2+, contains an infinite zigzag chain formed by the central CoII ion and the bridging bpy ligand. Guest fcds molecules lie between two adjacent zigzag chains. The highly conjugated structure of complex 1 means that it can be used as a metal-organic semiconductor, and it also shows a high response to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and ethanol/petroleum ether (EP) at room temperature. The inclusion complexes [{Co(bpp)2(H2O)2}·(fcds)·4H2O]n [2; bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane] and [{Zn(bpy)(H2O)4}·(fcds)]n (3), on the other hand, cannot be employed as room-temperature gas sensors because they are insulators. The electrical resistivity of inclusion complex [{Ni(bpy)(H2O)4}·(fcds)]n (4) is 621 M,, whereas that of [{Co(bpy)(H2O)4}SO4·(4-abaH)2·3H2O]n (5) (4-abaH = 4-aminobenzoic acid) is only 137 M,. This means that the semi-conducting properties of such inclusion complexes depend on both the conjugated structure and the central metal ions. Furthermore, conjugated inclusion complexes with an odd number of electrons could be useful for the design of highly selective room-temperature gas sensors.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Efficient and Long-Living Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 9 2010
Rubén D. Costa
Abstract Three new heteroleptic iridium complexes that combine two approaches, one leading to a high stability and the other yielding a high luminescence efficiency, are presented. All complexes contain a phenyl group at the 6-position of the neutral bpy ligand, which holds an additional, increasingly bulky substituent on the 4-position. The phenyl group allows for intramolecular ,,, stacking, which renders the complex more stable and yields long-living light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). The additional substituent increases the intersite distance between the cations in the film, reducing the quenching of the excitons, and should improve the efficiency of the LECs. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the three complexes have the desired ,,, intramolecular interactions between the pendant phenyl ring of the bpy ligand and the phenyl ring of one of the ppy ligands in the ground and the excited states. The photoluminescence quantum efficiency of concentrated films of the complexes improves with the increasing size of the bulky groups indicating that the adopted strategy for improving the efficiency is successful. Indeed, LEC devices employing these complexes as the primary active component show shorter turn-on times, higher efficiencies and luminances, and, surprisingly, also demonstrate longer device stabilities.

Three lanthanide complexes derived from itaconic acid and 2,2,-bipyridine

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 3 2009
Juan Carlos Muñoz
The structures of three new polymeric lanthanide complexes, poly[[bis(2,2,-bipyridine)-,4 -itaconato-di-,3 -itaconato-digadolinium(III)] tetrahydrate], {[Gd2(C5H4O4)3(C10H8N2)2]·4H2O}n, (I), poly[diaqua(2,2,-bipyridine)di-,3 -itaconato-,2 -itaconato-digadolinium(III)], [Gd2(C5H4O4)3(C10H8N2)(H2O)2]n, (II), and poly[[bis(2,2,-bipyridine)-,4 -itaconato-di-,3 -itaconato-diholmium(III)] dihydrate], {[Ho2(C5H4O4)3(C10H8N2)2]·2H2O}n, (III), have been solved from twinned specimens. Compound (I) presents a two-dimensional polymeric structure parallel to (011) built up around two independent nine-coordinated Gd centres displaying similar GdO7N2 environments, with both N-donor atoms in each provided by a chelating 2,2,-bipyridine (bpy) unit. The coordinating O atoms are from three different itaconate (ita) anions (itaconic acid is 2-methylidenebutanedioic acid). Compound (II) also presents two independent Gd centres (one ten- and the other eight-coordinated), but the overall formula and individual coordinations are different from those of (I). The chemical unit is in this case completed by one bpy ligand, three ita anions (one of them displaying a new, hitherto unreported, ,3 - O,O,:O,,O,,:O,,, binding mode) and two aqua ligands. The whole structure is built up around a twofold rotation axis passing through both cations, as well as through the centre of the bpy ligand and one of the ita anions, thus making only half of the chemical unit independent. Finally, compound (III) presents a single independent Ho centre, a bpy unit and one and a half ita anions (one of them bisected by a twofold rotation axis) in the asymmetric unit, plus two (disordered) nonbonded solvent water molecules. In compounds (II) and (III), those ita anions bisected by a symmetry element incompatible with the internal symmetry of the ligand exhibit disorder in the C=CH2 group. [source]


Poly[diaqua(,-4,4,-bipyridine-,2N:N,)bis(,-cyanido-,2C:N)bis(cyanido-,C)nickel(II)copper(II)]: a metal,organic cyanide-bridged framework

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 6 2008
Olha Sereda
The structure of the title compound, [NiCu(CN)4(C10H8N2)(H2O)2]n or [{Cu(H2O)2}(,-C10H8N2)(,-CN)2{Ni(CN)2}]n, was shown to be a metal,organic cyanide-bridged framework, composed essentially of ,Cu,4,4,-bpy,Cu,4,4,-bpy,Cu, chains (4,4,-bpy is 4,4,-bipyridine) linked by [Ni(CN)4]2, anions. Both metal atoms sit on special positions; the CuII atom occupies an inversion center, while the NiII atom of the cyanometallate sits on a twofold axis. The 4,4,-bpy ligand is also situated about a center of symmetry, located at the center of the bridging C,C bond. The scientific impact of this structure lies in the unique manner in which the framework is built up. The arrangement of the ,Cu,4,4,-bpy,Cu,4,4,-bpy,Cu, chains, which are mutually perpendicular and non-intersecting, creates large channels running parallel to the c axis. Within these channels, the [Ni(CN)4]2, anions coordinate to successive CuII atoms, forming zigzag ,Cu,N[triple-bond]C,Ni,C[triple-bond]N,Cu, chains. In this manner, a three-dimensional framework structure is constructed. To the authors' knowledge, this arrangement has not been observed in any of the many copper(II),4,4,-bipyridine framework complexes synthesized to date. The coordination environment of the CuII atom is completed by two water molecules. The framework is further strengthened by O,H...N hydrogen bonds involving the water molecules and the symmetry-equivalent nonbridging cyanide N atoms. [source]


Structural, Spectroscopic, and Proton-Coupled Electron-transfer Behavior of Pyrazolyl-3,5-bis(benzimidazole)-Bridged Homo- and Heterochiral RuIIRuII, OsIIOsII, and OsIIRuII 2,2,-Bipyridine Complexes

Abstract The homo- and heterobimetallic complexes [(bpy)2MII(H2pzbzim)M,II(bpy)2](ClO4)3·nH2O (1, 3, 5) and their corresponding deprotonated complexes [(bpy)2MII(pzbzim)M,II(bpy)2](ClO4)·nH2O (2, 4, 6) [where MII, M,II = Ru (1, 2) = Os (3, 4); MII = Os and M,II = Ru (3, 5); bpy = 2,2,-bipyridine; H3pzbzim = pyrazole-3,5-bis(benzimidazole)] were synthesized, separated to their heterochiral (a, ,,/,,) and homochiral (b, ,,/,,) diastereoisomers, and characterized by elemental analyses, ESI-MS, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray structures of 1a, 3a, and 5a show the involvement of two pyridine rings of two bpy ligands in strong intramolecular nonbonded ,,, interaction. The occurrence of a C,H···, interaction between an aromatic C,H and the ,-cloud of a pyridine ring leads to strong electronic shielding of this proton (1H NMR). In all cases, the two diastereoisomers show practically no differences in their absorption spectra, redox potentials, and pK values. The large shifts in the E1/2 values to less positive potentials and substantial redshifts in the MLCT bands that occur on deprotonation of 1, 3, and 5 are energetically correlated. From the profiles of E1/2(1), (2) vs. pH over the pH range 1,12, the equilibrium constants and standard redox potentials for all the complex species in the metal oxidation states II·II, II·III, and III·III and the bridged ligand in the protonation states H2pzbzim,, Hpzbzim2,, and pzbzim3, have been evaluated. Using these values the bond dissociation free energies for the benzimidazole N,H bonds have been estimated. Spectroelectrochemical studies have been carried out for 1a, 3a, and 5a in the range 400,1100 nm. With stepwise oxidation of the metal centers replacement of MLCT bands by LMCT bands occur gradually with the observation of sharp isosbestic points. In the case of 1a, a band observed at ,max = 910 nm for the RuIIRuIII species has been ascribed to intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) transition. [source]


Nickel-Organic Coordination Layers with Different Directional Cavities

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 23 2006
Youfu Zhou
Abstract The two new metal-organic coordination frameworks [Ni2(pydc)2(4,4,-bpy)(H2O)4]n·0.5n(4,4,-bpy)2H2O (1) and [Ni2(pydc)2(2,2,-bpy)2(H2O)2]n·2nH2O (2) (H2pydc = pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid; bpy = bipyridine) have been synthesised under hydrothermal conditions and characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure of 1 contains parallel rectangular channels that accommodate large 4,4,-bpy guests while that of 2 contains vertical channels coordinated to 2,2,-bpy ligands. Their magnetic analyses show that they exhibit different magnetic interactions. The red shifts of the peak in their emission spectra relative to those of the the free ligands could be attributable to the metal,ligand coordination. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

[H2bpy]2[{Cu(btepy)2}Mo5P2O23]·4H2O: A Three-Dimensional Framework Built from Transition-Metal Coordination Polymer Sheets Pillared by Polyoxomolybdophosphate Clusters

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 7 2005
Ying Lu
Abstract [H2bpy]2[{Cu(bpy)2}Mo5P2O23]·4,H2O (1; bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine) contains the first three-dimensional framework based on two-dimensional transition metal coordination polymer sheets pillared by polyoxomolybdophosphate clusters. It crystallises in the C2/c monoclinic space group with a = 17.630(4) Å, b = 13.670(3) Å, c = 25.111(5) Å, and , = 106.61(3)°. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that guest molecules (H2O and free bpy ligands) can be easily removed from 1 by simple heat treatment without losing the three-dimensional framework. Moreover, the paramagnetic properties of the {Cu(bpy)2} arrays, make this material an interesting magnetic solid based on polyoxometallate clusters. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Photophysical Processes in ,Supramolecular Balls' Formed by Lanthanide Chloride with 2,2,-Bipyridine

HELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 11 2009

Abstract The europium complex [EuCl2(bpy)2(H2O)2]Cl,1.25,C2H6O,0.37,H2O, where bpy is 2,2,-bipyridine, was synthesized and investigated with the aim to relate its molecular geometry and crystal packing to the efficiency of energy-transfer processes. The presence of H-bonds between noncoordinated Cl, ions and coordinated H2O molecules leads to the formation of discrete trimers assembled by a number of CH,,,Cl and stacking interactions into ,supramolecular balls' which contain Cl, ions and solvate molecules (H2O and EtOH). The additional stabilization of the complex is due to intramolecular N,,,C interactions between two bpy ligands that causes some shortening of the EuN bonds. Deciphering the luminescence properties of the Eu complex was performed under consideration of both the composition of the inner coordination sphere and the peculiarities of the crystal packing. The influence of the latter and the bpy orientation on the energy of the ligand,Eu charge-transfer state (LMCT) was established, and an additional excited state induced by the , -stacking interaction (SICT) was identified.

An unusual three-dimensional chiral threefold polycatenating network self-assembled from inclined two-dimensional (4,4) layer motifs

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 5 2010
Suna Wang
In the coordination compound poly[diaqua(,2 -4,4,-bipyridine)(,2 -4-carboxylatocinnamato)nickel(II)], [Ni(C10H6O4)(C10H8N2)(H2O)2]n, both the 4-carboxylatocinnamate and 4,4,-bipyridine (4,4,-bpy) ligands act as bidentate bridges, connecting the NiII centres in an octahedral coordination geometry into a two-dimensional (4,4) layer. Each layer polycatenates two other identical layers, thus giving a rare 2D , 3D polycatenating network (2D and 3D are two- and three-dimensional, respectively), with a mutually parallel arrangement of the layers. The chiral 4,4,-bpy ligands link the NiII centres into chiral chains, thus introducing chirality into the layer and the resulting 3D network. [source]


Poly[[trans -diaquabis(,2 -biphenyl-2,2,-dicarboxylato)bis(,2 -4,4,-bipyridine)dicobalt(II)] biphenyl-2,2,-dicarboxylic acid disolvate]

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 2 2010
Ge Zhan
In the title compound, {[Co2(C14H8O4)2(C10H8N2)2(H2O)2]·2C14H10O4}n, each CoII ion is six-coordinate in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Both CoII ions are located on twofold axes. One is surrounded by two O atoms from two biphenyl-2,2,-dicarboxylate (dpa) dianions, two N atoms from two 4,4,-bipyridine (bpy) ligands and two water molecules, while the second is surrounded by four O atoms from two dpa dianions and two N atoms from two bpy ligands. The coordinated dpa dianion functions as a ,3 -bridge between the two CoII ions. One carboxylate group of a dpa dianion bridges two adjacent CoII ions, and one O atom of the other carboxylate group also chelates to a CoII ion. The CoII ions are bridged by dpa dianions and bpy ligands to form a chiral sheet. There are several strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the H2dpa solvent molecule and the chiral sheet, which result in a sandwich structure. [source]


Coordination Chemistry of Conformation-Flexible 1,2,3,4,5,6-Cyclohexanehexacarboxylate: Trapping Various Conformations in Metal,Organic Frameworks

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 24 2008
Jing Wang
Abstract To study the conformations of 1,2,3,4,5,6-cyclohexanehexacarboxylic acid (H6L), eleven new coordination polymers have been isolated from hydrothermal reactions of different metal salts with 1e,2a,3e,4a,5e,6a -cyclohexanehexacarboxylic acid (3e+3a, H6LI) and characterized. They are [Cd12(,6 - LII)(,10 - LII)3(,-H2O)6(H2O)6],16.5,H2O (1), Na12[Cd6(,6 - LII)(,6 - LIII)3],27,H2O (2), [Cd3(,13 - LII)(,-H2O)] (3), [Cd3(,6 - LIII)(2,2,-bpy)3(H2O)3],2,H2O (4), [Cd4(,4 - LVI)2(4,4,-Hbpy)4(4,4,-bpy)2(H2O)4],9.5,H2O (5), [Cd2(,6 - LII)(4,4,-Hbpy)2(H2O)10],5,H2O (6), [Cd3(,11 - LVI)(H2O)3] (7), [M3(,9 - LII)(H2O)6] (M=Mn (8), Fe (9), and Ni (10)), and [Ni4(OH)2(,10 - LII)(4,4,-bpy)(H2O)4],6,H2O (11). Three new conformations of 1,2,3,4,5,6-cyclohexanehexacarboxylate, 6e (LII), 4e+2a (LIII) and 5e+1a (LVI), have been derived from the conformational conversions of LI and trapped in these complexes by controlling the conditions of the hydrothermal systems. Complexes 1 and 2 have three-dimensional (3D) coordination frameworks with nanoscale cages and are obtained at relatively low temperatures. A quarter of the LI ligands undergo a conformational transformation into LII while the others are transformed into LIII in the presence of NaOH in 2, while all of the LI are transformed into LII in the absence of NaOH in 1. Complex 3 has a 3D condensed coordination framework, which was obtained under similar reaction conditions as 1, but at a higher temperature. The addition of 2,2,-bipyridine (2,2,-bpy) or 4,4,-bipyridine (4,4,-bpy) to the hydrothermal system as an auxiliary ligand also induces the conformational transformation of H6LI. A new LVI conformation has been trapped in complexes 4,7 under different conditions. Complex 4 has a 3D microporous supramolecular network constructed from a 2D LIII -bridged coordination layer structure by ,-, interactions between the chelating 2,2,-bpy ligands. Complexes 5,7 have different frameworks with LII/LVI conformations, which were prepared by using different amounts of 4,4,-bpy under similar synthetic conditions. Both 5 and 7 are 3D coordination frameworks involving the LVI ligands, while 6 has a 3D microporous supramolecular network constructed from a 2D LII -bridged coordination layer structure by interlayer N4,4,-HbpyH,,,O(LII) hydrogen bonds. 3D coordination frameworks 8,11 have been obtained from the H6LI ligand and the paramagnetic metal ions MnII, FeII, and NiII, and their magnetic properties have been studied. Of particular interest to us is that two copper coordination polymers of the formulae [{CuII2(,4 - LII)(H2O)4}{CuI2(4,4,-bpy)2}] (12,,) and [CuII(Hbtc)(4,4,-bpy)(H2O)],3,H2O (H3btc=1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) (12,,) resulted from the same one-pot hydrothermal reaction of Cu(NO3)2, H6LI, 4,4,-bpy, and NaOH. The Hbtc2, ligand in 12,, was formed by the in situ decarboxylation of H6LI. The observed decarboxylation of the H6LI ligand to H3btc may serve as a helpful indicator in studying the conformational transformation mechanism between H6LI and LII,VI. Trapping various conformations in metal-organic structures may be helpful for the stabilization and separation of various conformations of the H6L ligand. [source]


1D Ladder-like Chain and 1D Channeled 3D Supramolecular Architectures Based on Benzophenone-2,4,-dicarboxylic Acid

CHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2008
Xiao-Gang YANG
Abstract The hydrothermal reactions of AgNO3, 2,2,-bipyridyl, and benzophenone-2,4,-dicarboxylic acid gave rise to two 3D supramolecular architectures, namely H2L·H2O (1), [Ag(bpy)2]·HL·H2O (2) (bpy2,2,-bipyridyl, H2Lbenzophenone-2,4,-dicarboxylic acid). The two compounds are extended by hydrogen bonds in two different approaches. In the case of 1, one-dimensional ladder-like structure is firstly formed through O,H···O hydrogen bonding between H2L ligands and water molecules, then extended to a 3D supramolecular architecture. Compound 2 possesses 3D supramolecular architecture containing 1D open channels, which are driven due to the strong H-bonding interactions occurring between the HL anions and water molecules; interestingly, [Ag(bpy)2]+ cations are linked together through ,-, interactions between bpy ligands and weak Ag···Ag interactions, and then reside in these channels by C,H···O hydrogen-bond. The photoluminescence properties of these compounds were also investigated, the emission maxima for 2 exhibits red-shift compared with that of free ligand and 1 due to chelating effect of the 2,2,-bipyridine ligand to the silver ion and the presence of aromatic ,-packing.
