Selected AbstractsTwo-dimensional networks in 2-methylanilinium picrate and 2,5-dichloroanilinium picrateACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 7 2010Gao-Xiang Meng Both the title molecular adducts of 2-methylaniline or 2,5-dichloroaniline with picric acid are 1:1 organic salts, namely 2-methylanilinium picrate, C7H10N+·C6H2N3O7,, (I), and 2,5-dichloroanilinium picrate, C6H6Cl2N+·C6H2N3O7,, (II). In both structures, the phenoxide O atoms accept two N,H hydrogen bonds in a bifurcated acceptor fashion, which link the component ions by N,H...O hydrogen bonds into continuous two-dimensional zigzag layers, running parallel to the (100) plane in (I) and the (010) plane in (II). A ,,, interaction is observed between symmetry-related anilinium cations in (I), while in (II), Cl...Onitro and Cl...Cl interactions are observed. This study indicates that a substitution on aniline can exert a pivotal influence on the construction of its supramolecular structure. [source] First Examples of Ternary Lanthanide 2,2,-Diphenyldicarboxylate Complexes: Hydrothermal Syntheses and Structures of Lanthanide Coordination Polymers of 2,2,-Diphenyldicarboxylic Acid and 1,10-PhenanthrolineEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 19 2003Yibo Wang Abstract In the four new lanthanide coordination polymers {[La2(2,2,-dpdc)3(phen)(H2O)]·2H2O}n (1), [Eu2(2,2,-dpdc)3(phen)(H2O)2]n (2), {[Ln2(2,2,-dpdc)3(phen)2(H2O)2]·4H2O}n [Ln = Tb (3), Yb (4)] (2,2,-dpdc = 2,2,-diphenyldicarboxylate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, the 2,2,-dpdc dianion affords tetradentate, pentadentate, and hexadentate coordination modes. Complex 1 is a two-dimensional network of infinite 1-D chains assembled through ,,, interactions, with nine- and ten-coordinate La3+, and arranged in wave-like layers. In 2, Eu3+ possesses nine- and ten-coordinate geometries bridged by 2,2,-dpdc ligands to give a 3-D structure. The isomorphous complexes 3 and 4, in which Tb3+ and Yb3+ ions are both nine-coordinate, have two-dimensional structures of 1-D zigzag chains stacked via hydrogen bonds and ,,, interactions of phen molecules. The high-resolution emission spectrum of 2 shows two Eu3+ ion sites, which is consistent with the results of the X-ray crystal structure analysis. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

In an attempt to better understand how these structural properties of small-world networks affect epidemic propagation and intervention, this article uses an agent-based approach to investigate the interplay between an epidemic process and its underlying network structure. Small-world networks are derived from a network "rewiring" process, which readjusts edges in a completely regular two-dimensional network by different rewiring probabilities (0,1) to produce a spectrum of modified networks on which an agent-based simulation of epidemic propagation can be conducted. A comparison of simulated epidemics discloses the effect of small-world networks on epidemic propagation as well as the effectiveness of different intervention strategies, including mass vaccination, acquaintance vaccination, targeted vaccination, and contact tracing. Epidemics taking place on small-world networks tend to reach large-scale epidemic peaks within a short time period. Among the four intervention strategies tested, only one strategy,the targeted vaccination,proves to be effective for containing epidemics, a finding supported by a simulation of the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic in a large-scale realistic social contact network in Portland, OR. Las redes de mundo de pequeño (,small-world networks'), caracterizadas por sus propiedades estructurales especiales de alta conectividad y aglomeración (,clustering') son uno de los ejemplos más destacados de los avances más recientes de la ciencia de redes, y tiene el potencial de modelar una gran variedad de redes sociales de contacto. En un intento de comprender mejor como estas propiedades estructurales de redes ,small-world' afectan la propagación e intervención de epidemias, el estudio presente emplea un enfoque basado en modelos multi-agente (,agent based') para investigar la interacción entre el proceso epidémico y la estructura de redes en la que estan integrados. Las redes de mundo pequeño se derivan del proceso de recableado (,rewiring') el cual reajusta los límites en una red 2-D de acuerdo a varias probabilidades de reconexión (0-1) para producir un abanico de posibles de redes modificadas sobre los cuales se condujo una simulación multi-agente de la propagación de la epidemia. El efecto de las redes ,small world' y de las diferentes estrategias de intervención (por ejemplo, diferentes estrategias de vacunación) son evidenciadas mediante la comparación entre varias simulaciones de la epidemia. Las epidemias que ocurren en redes de tipo ,small-world' tienden a alcanzar picos de gran escala epidémica en un corto periodo de tiempo. Entre las estrategias evaluadas, sólo una ,vacunación dirigida a una población objetivo (,targeted vaccination')- demostró ser efectiva en la contención de la epidemia. Dicho resultado se obtuvo vía la simulación de la epidemia de SRAS (Síndrome Respiratorio Agudo Severo ,SARS') realiada en Portland, Oregon (EEUU). [source] Misfit dislocations and surface morphology of InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures grown by MOVPEPHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (C) - CURRENT TOPICS IN SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 8 2009ukasz Gelczuk Abstract A two-dimensional network of misfit dislocations at the interface of the partially relaxed Inx Ga1- xAs epitaxial layers grown on (001)-oriented GaAs substrates by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) has been revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A close correspondence between the distribution of interfacial misfit dislocations and undulating surface morphology in the form of a characteristic cross-hatch pattern has been observed by means of atomic force microcopy (AFM). Anisotropic strain relaxation attributed to the asymmetry in the formation of misfit dislocations has been also reproduced on the surface in the form of a fine pattern, cutting the cross-hatch one.

Biju The crystallization of [Mn(acac)2(H2O)2]+ from solutions containing excess nitrate leads to the formation of four polymorphs. All polymorphs contain two different types of complex ions, one containing essentially coplanar acac ligands and the other in which the two acac ligands together assume a chair conformation. Molecular modelling using DFT (density-functional theory) calculations shows that the coplanar conformation is the electronically stable one. The hydrogen bonding between the trans -water molecules and the nitrate ion produces a one-dimensional chain of 12-membered rings, which are further organized into a two-dimensional network via a lattice water molecule. Lattice-energy calculations have been carried out to compare the stabilities of the four polymorphs. [source] Ferrocene compounds: methyl 1,-aminoferrocene-1-carboxylateACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 9 2010Christoph Förster The title compund, [Fe(C5H6N)(C7H7O2)], features one strong intermolecular hydrogen bond of the type N,H...O=C [N...O = 3.028,(2),Å] between the amine group and the carbonyl group of a neighbouring molecule, and vice versa, to form a centrosymmetric dimer. Furthermore, the carbonyl group acts as a double H-atom acceptor in the formation of a second, weaker, hydrogen bond of the type C,H...O=C [C...O = 3.283,(2),Å] with the methyl group of the ester group of a second neighbouring molecule at (x, ,y , , z , ). The methyl group also acts as a weak hydrogen-bond donor, symmetry-related to the latter described C,H...O=C interaction, to a third molecule at (x, ,y , , z + ) to form a two-dimensional network. The cyclopentadienyl rings of the ferrocene unit are parallel to each other within 0.33,(3)° and show an almost eclipsed 1,1,-conformation, with a relative twist angle of 9.32,(12)°. The ester group is twisted slightly [11.33,(8)°] relative to the cylopentadienyl plane due to the above-mentioned intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the carbonyl group. The N atom shows pyramidal coordination geometry, with the sum of the X,N,Y angles being 340,(3)°. [source] N,N,-Diethyl-4-nitrobenzene-1,3-diamine, 2,6-bis(ethylamino)-3-nitrobenzonitrile and bis(4-ethylamino-3-nitrophenyl) sulfoneACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 7 2010Thomas J. Payne N,N,-Diethyl-4-nitrobenzene-1,3-diamine, C10H15N3O2, (I), crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, both of which are nearly planar. The molecules differ in the conformation of the ethylamine group trans to the nitro group. Both molecules contain intramolecular N,H...O hydrogen bonds between the adjacent amine and nitro groups and are linked into one-dimensional chains by intermolecular N,H...O hydrogen bonds. The chains are organized in layers parallel to (101) with separations of ca 3.4,Å between adjacent sheets. The packing is quite different from what was observed in isomeric 1,3-bis(ethylamino)-2-nitrobenzene. 2,6-Bis(ethylamino)-3-nitrobenzonitrile, C11H14N4O2, (II), differs from (I) only in the presence of the nitrile functionality between the two ethylamine groups. Compound (II) crystallizes with one unique molecule in the asymmetric unit. In contrast with (I), one of the ethylamine groups, which is disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.75 and 0.25, is positioned so that the methyl group is directed out of the plane of the ring by approximately 85°. This ethylamine group forms an intramolecular N,H...O hydrogen bond with the adjacent nitro group. The packing in (II) is very different from that in (I). Molecules of (II) are linked by both intermolecular amine,nitro N,H...O and amine,nitrile N,H...N hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional network in the (10) plane. Alternating molecules are approximately orthogonal to one another, indicating that ,,, interactions are not a significant factor in the packing. Bis(4-ethylamino-3-nitrophenyl) sulfone, C16H18N4O6S, (III), contains the same ortho nitro/ethylamine pairing as in (I), with the position para to the nitro group occupied by the sulfone instead of a second ethylamine group. Each 4-ethylamino-3-nitrobenzene moiety is nearly planar and contains the typical intramolecular N,H...O hydrogen bond. Due to the tetrahedral geometry about the S atom, the molecules of (III) adopt an overall V shape. There are no intermolecular amine,nitro hydrogen bonds. Rather, each amine H atom has a long (H...O ca 2.8,Å) interaction with one of the sulfone O atoms. Molecules of (III) are thus linked by amine,sulfone N,H...O hydrogen bonds into zigzag double chains running along [001]. Taken together, these structures demonstrate that small changes in the functionalization of ethylamine,nitroarenes cause significant differences in the intermolecular interactions and packing. [source] Tetrakis(,2 -4-aminobenzoato)di-,3 -oxido-tetrakis[dibutyltin(IV)]ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 3 2010Anthony Linden The molecule of the title compound, [Sn4(C4H9)8(C7H6NO2)4O2], lies about an inversion centre and is a tetranuclear bis(tetrabutyldicarboxylatodistannoxane) complex containing a planar Sn4O2 core in which two ,3 -oxide O atoms connect an Sn2O2 ring to two exocyclic Sn atoms. Each Sn atom has a highly distorted octahedral coordination. In the molecule, the carboxylate groups of two aminobenzoate ligands bridge the central and exocyclic Sn atoms, while two further aminobenzoate ligands have highly asymmetric bidentate chelation to the exocyclic Sn atoms plus long O...Sn interactions with the central Sn atoms. Each Sn atom is also coordinated by two pendant n -butyl ligands, which extend roughly perpendicular to the plane of the Sn4O10 core. Only one of the four unique hydrogen-bond donor sites is involved in a classic N,H...O hydrogen bond, and the resulting supramolecular hydrogen-bonded structure is an extended two-dimensional network which lies parallel to the (100) plane and consists of a checkerboard pattern of four-connected molecular cores acting as nodes. The amine groups not involved in the hydrogen-bonding interactions have significant N,H..., interactions with neighbouring aminobenzene rings. [source] Two two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded coordination networks: bis(3-carboxybenzoato-,O)bis(4-methyl-1H -imidazole-,N3)copper(II) and bis(3-methylbenzoato-,N)bis(4-methyl-1H -imidazole-,N3)copper(II) monohydrateACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 12 2009Ziliang Wang The title two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded coordination compounds, [Cu(C8H5O4)2(C4H6N2)2], (I), and [Cu(C8H7O2)2(C4H6N2)2]·H2O, (II), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The molecule of complex (I) lies across an inversion centre, and the Cu2+ ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two 4-methyl-1H -imidazole (4-MeIM) molecules and two O atoms from two 3-carboxybenzoate (HBDC,) anions in a square-planar geometry. Adjacent molecules are linked through intermolecular N,H...O and O,H...O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional sheet with (4,4) topology. In the asymmetric part of the unit cell of (II) there are two symmetry-independent molecules, in which each Cu2+ ion is also coordinated by two N atoms from two 4-MeIM molecules and two O atoms from two 3-methylbenzoate (3-MeBC,) anions in a square-planar coordination. Two neutral complex molecules are held together via N,H...O(carboxylate) hydrogen bonds to generate a dimeric pair, which is further linked via discrete water molecules into a two-dimensional network with the Schläfli symbol (43)2(46,66,83). In both compounds, as well as the strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds, ,,, interactions also stabilize the crystal stacking.

Compound (I) crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group with the mid-point of the S,S bond lying on a twofold axis. The component ions in (I) are linked by intermolecular N,H...O hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional network, which is further linked by C,H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. In contrast, by means of N,H...O, N,H...S and O,H...O hydrogen bonds, the component ions in (II) are linked into a tape and adjacent tapes are further linked by ,,,, C,H...O and C,H..., interactions, resulting in a three-dimensional network.

The asymmetric unit of 2HAHP contains two independent ion pairs. The hydrogen phthalate ions of 2HAHP and 3HAHP show a short intramolecular O,H...O hydrogen bond, with O...O distances ranging from 2.3832,(15) to 2.3860,(14),Å. N,H...O and O,H...O hydrogen bonds, together with short C,H...O contacts in PCAHP and 3HAHP, generate extended hydrogen-bond networks. PCAHP forms a two-dimensional supramolecular sheet extending in the (100) plane, whereas 2HAHP has a supramolecular chain running parallel to the [100] direction and 3HAHP has a two-dimensional network extending parallel to the (001) plane.

In (I), the asymmetric unit is composed of two 4-aminopyridinium cations, two 4-aminobenzoate anions and four water molecules, and the compound crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric space group. The two sets of independent molecules of (I) are related by a centre of symmetry which is not part of the space group. In (I), the protonated pyridinium ring H atoms are involved in bifurcated hydrogen bonding with carboxylate O atoms to form an R12(4) ring motif. The water molecules link the ions to form a two-dimensional network along the (10) plane. In (II), an intramolecular bifurcated hydrogen bond generates an R12(4) ring motif and inter-ion hydrogen bonding generates an R42(16) ring motif. The packing of adduct (II) is consolidated via N,H...O and N,H...N hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional network along the (10) plane.

The ZnII and CuII atoms are all six-coordinated in approximately octahedral environments. Compound (I) presents a sinusoidal chain generated by ZnO4 cores which are bridged by L1 ligands in a cisoid conformation. These sinusoidal chains are bound to each other by O,H...O hydrogen bonds between coordinated water molecules of neighboring chains into a two-dimensional network. These layers stack in an ,ABAB, sequence and are further linked into a three-dimensional framework through O,H...N hydrogen bonds between coordinated water molecules and the N atoms of the triazole rings. In (II), the CuII centers are bridged by the L2 ligands to form a two-dimensional network with square grids. All of the two-dimensional nets also stack alternately along the crystallographic a axis. Neighboring layers are further linked into a three-dimensional framework via interlayer N,H...N hydrogen bonds between ,NH2 groups of the triazole rings and the N atoms in the triazole rings.

The complex bis[,-2-hydroxy- N,-(2-oxidobenzylidene)benzohydrazidato]bis[(morpholine)zinc(II)], [Zn2(C14H10N2O3)2(C4H9NO)2], (II), consists of a neutral centrosymmetric dimer with a coplanar Zn2(,2 -O)2 core. The two ZnII centers are bridged by phenolate O atoms. Each ZnII center exhibits a distorted square-pyramidal stereochemistry, in which the four in-plane donors come from the O,N,O,-tridentate 2-hydroxy- N,-(2-oxidobenzylidene)benzohydrazidate(2,) ligand and a symmetry-related phenolate O atom, and the axial position is coordinated to the N atom from the morpholine molecule. There are intramolecular phenol,hydrazide O,H...N hydrogen bonds present in both (I) and (II). In (I), square-planar nickel complexes are linked by intermolecular morpholine,morpholine N,H...O hydrogen bonds, leading to a one-dimensional chain, while in (II) an infinite two-dimensional network is formed via intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the coordinated morpholine NH groups and the uncoordinated phenolate O atoms.

The dicarboxylic acids join through short acid bridges into infinite chains. Compound (I) crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric Cmc21 space group and the asymmetric unit consists of a hydrogen succinate anion located on a mirror plane and a 2-methylimidazolium cation disordered across the same mirror. The other two compounds crystallize in the triclinic P space group. The carboxylic acid H atom in (II) is disordered over both ends of the anion and sits on inversion centres between adjacent anions, forming symmetric short O...H...O bridges. Two independent anions in (III) sit across inversion centres, again with the carboxylic acid H atom disordered in short O...H...O bridges. The molecules in all three compounds are linked into two-dimensional networks by combinations of imidazolium,carboxylate N+,H...O and carboxylate,carboxylate O,H...O hydrogen bonds. The two-dimensional networks are further linked into three-dimensional networks by C,H...O hydrogen bonds in (I) and by Owater,H...O hydrogen bonds in (III). According to the ,pKa rule, such 1:1 types of organic salts can be expected unambiguously. However, a 2:1 type of organic salt may be more easily obtained in (II) and (III) than in (I).

The dihedral angles between the virtual plane defined by the four bridging methylene C atoms and the phenol rings are 120.27,(7), 124.03,(6), 120.14,(8) and 128.25,(7)° for (I), and 95.99,(8), 135.93,(7), 97.21,(8) and 126.10,(8)° for (II). In the supramolecular structure of (I), pairs of molecules associate by self-inclusion, where one azide group of the molecule is inserted into the cavity of the inversion-related molecule, and the association is stabilized by weak intermolecular C,H...N hydrogen bonds and ,(N3),,(aromatic) interactions. The molecular pairs are linked into a two-dimensional network by a combination of weak intermolecular C,H...N contacts. Each network is further connected to its neighbor to produce a three-dimensional framework via intersheet C,H...N hydrogen bonds.

Two unsymmetric multidentate 3-[4-(2-thienyl)-2H -cyclopenta[d]pyridazin-1-yl]benzonitrile (L) ligands link two AgI atoms through ,,AgI interactions into an organometallic box-like unit, from which two 3-cyanobenzoyl arms stretch out in opposite directions and bind two AgI atoms from neighboring box-like building blocks. This results in a novel two-dimensional network extending in the crystallographic bc plane. These two-dimensional sheets stack together along the crystallographic a axis to generate parallelogram-like channels. The methanol solvent molecules and the perchlorate counter-ions are located in the channels, where they are fixed by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. This architecture may provide opportunities for host,guest chemistry, such as guest molecule loss and absorption or ion exchange. The new fulvene-type multidentate ligand L is a good candidate for the preparation of Cp,AgI -containing (Cp is cyclopentadienyl) organometallic coordination polymers or supramolecular complexes.

The compound exhibits a monolayer structure with coordination bonds within and hydrogen bonds between the layers. The ,4 acid ligand bridges the metal ions in two dimensions to form a thick undulating monolayer with a hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic surfaces. A second independent monoanion is arranged outward from both sides of the monolayer and serves to link adjacent monolayers via carboxyl,water and water,carboxyl hydrogen bonds.

They differ only slightly in conformation but form completely different intermolecular hydrogen-bonded arrays. One molecule exhibits disorder in the hydroxy group region, but this does not influence the formation of hydrogen bonds. The bulky tert -butyl group on one side of the carbinol C atom and the benzene ring on the other side promote the formation of discrete dimeric motifs via hydrogen-bridged hydroxy groups. Dimers are further joined by strong hydroxy,methoxy O,H...O bonds to form chains with dangling alcohol groups. Weaker intermolecular C,H...O interactions mediate the formation of a two-dimensional network.

[source] Encapsulation of Cyanometalates by a Tris-macrocyclic Ligand Tricopper(II) Complex: Syntheses, Structural Variation, and Magnetic Exchange Coupling PathwaysCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 3 2006Mihail Atanasov Prof. Dr. Abstract The reaction of [M(CN)6]3, (M=Cr3+, Mn3+, Fe3+, Co3+) and [M(CN)8]4,/3, (M=Mo4+/5+, W4+/5+) with the trinuclear copper(II) complex of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyltris[3-(1,3,5,8,12-pentaazacyclotetradecane)] ([Cu3(L)]6+) leads to partially encapsulated cyanometalates. With hexacyanometalate(III) complexes, [Cu3(L)]6+ forms the isostructural host,guest complexes [{[Cu3(L)(OH2)2][M(CN)6]2}{M(CN)6}],[M(CN)6],30,H2O with one bridging, two partially encapsulated, and one isolated [M(CN)6]3, unit. The octacyanometalates of Mo4+/5+ and W4+/5+ are encapsulated by two tris-macrocyclic host units. Due to the stability of the +IV oxidation state of Mo and W, only assemblies with [M(CN)8]4, were obtained. The Mo4+ and W4+ complexes were crystallized in two different structural forms: [{Cu3(L)(OH2)}2{Mo(CN)8}](NO3)8,15,H2O with a structural motif that involves isolated spherical [{Cu3(L)(OH2)}2{M(CN)8}]8+ ions and a "string-of-pearls" type of structure [{[Cu3(L)]2[M(CN)8]}{M(CN)8}](NO3)4, 20,H2O, with [M(CN)8]4, ions that bridge the encapsulated octacyanometalates in a two-dimensional network. The magnetic exchange coupling between the various paramagnetic centers is characterized by temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility and field-dependent magnetization data. Exchange between the Cu,,,Cu pairs in the [Cu3(L)]6+ "ligand" is weakly antiferromagnetic. Ferromagnetic interactions are observed in the cyanometalate assemblies with Cr3+, exchange coupling of Mn3+ and Fe3+ is very small, and the octacoordinate Mo4+ and W4+ systems have a closed-shell ground state. [source] A Theoretical Description of Elastic Pillar Substrates in Biophysical ExperimentsCHEMPHYSCHEM, Issue 8 2005Camilla Mohrdieck Dr. Abstract Arrays of elastic pillars are used in biophysical experiments as sensors for traction forces. The evaluation of the forces can be complicated if they are coupled to the pillar displacements over large distances. This is the case if many of the pillars are interconnected by elastic linkages as, for example, in fiber networks that are grown on top of pillars. To calculate the traction forces in such a network, we developed a set of nonlinear inhomogeneous equations relating the forces in the linking elements to the resulting pillar deflections. We chose a homogeneous, activated two-dimensional network of cytoskeletal actin filaments to illustrate that a pillar substrate is generally not a force sensor but a force-gradient sensor. In homogeneous networks the forces acting along the filaments can be approximated by analyzing only pillar deflections in the edge zones of the substrate and by integration over the corresponding force gradients. [source] Synthesis, Structure and Characterization of Two-dimensional Network Copper Complex [Cu3(nta)2(azpy)2(H2O)2]·6H2OCHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2002Bao-Long Li Abstract The copper(II) complex[Cu3(nta)2(azpy)2(H2O)2]·6H2O (nta = nitrilotriacetate, azpy = 4,4,-azobispyridine) has been synthesized and characterized. The X-ray analysis reveals that there are two kinds of copper(II) coordination environments. Cu(1) has a distorted square plane symmetry and Cu(2) has a distorted octahedral symmetry. Cu(1) is linked to Cu(2) through nta and bound to Cu(1C) by azpy, and Cu(2) is linked to Cu(2A) through azpy, which extends to two-dimensional network with large rhombus 1.2 nm × 1.7 nm. [source] Layered [BaM(C3H2O4)2(H2O)4] (M = Fe or Co) Complexes , Spectroscopic, Magnetic and Thermal StudyEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 16 2003Izaskun Gil de Muro Abstract Complexes with formula [BaM(C3H2O4)2(H2O)4], where M = Fe or Co, were synthesised and characterised. These two types of complexes are isostructural and crystallise in the Pccn space group. Their structure consists of two-dimensional networks of octahedral MO6 polyhedra in which the transition metal ions are coordinated by bridging malonate ligands, through the O-C-O atoms. These M-malonate units are extended along the crystallographic [101] plane. Spectroscopic data are consistent with the cations being in a high-spin octahedral symmetry. The two types of compounds exhibit 2D antiferromagnetic interactions as well as weak ferromagnetism below the Néel temperature, as a result of an intralayer misalignment of the spins. Thermal treatment of the metallo-organic precursors gave rise to BaMO3,y oxides at lower temperatures and reaction times than those found in the literature using the ceramic method.
