  • Crystal structure and characterization of a new one-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymer containing a 4-aminobenzoic acid ligand
Title: Crystal structure and characterization of a new one-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymer containing a 4-aminobenzoic acid ligand
A CuIIcoordination polymer,catena-poly[[[aquacopper(II)]-bis(μ-4-aminobenzoato)-κ2N:O;κ2O:N] monohydrate], {[Cu(pABA)2(H2O)]·H2O}n(pABA =p-aminobenzoate, C7H4NO2−), was synthesized and characterized. It exhibits a one-dimensional chain structure extended into a three-dimensional supramolecular assembly through hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions. While the twinned crystal shows a metrically orthorhombic lattice and an apparent space groupPbcm, the true symmetry is monoclinic (space groupP2/c), with disordered Cu atoms and mixed roles of water molecules (aqua ligand/crystallization water). The luminescence spectrum of the complex shows an emission at 345 nm,cf.349 nm forpABAH.  more » « less

    Abstract Nitrous acid (HONO) plays pivotal roles in various metal‐free as well as metal‐mediated routes relevant to biogeochemistry, atmospheric chemistry, and mammalian physiology. While the metastable nature of HONO hinders the detailed investigations into its reactivity at a transition metal site, this report herein utilizes a heteroditopic copper(II) cryptate [oC]CuIIfeaturing a proton‐responsive second‐coordination‐sphere located at a suitable distance from a [CuII](ONO) core, thereby enabling isolation of a [CuII](κ1‐ONO⋅⋅⋅H+) complex (2H‐NO2). A set of complementary analytical studies (UV‐vis,14N/15N FTIR,15N NMR, HRMS, EPR, and CHN) on2H‐NO2and its15N‐isotopomer (2H‐15NO2) reveals the formulation of2H‐NO2as {[oCH]CuII(κ1‐ONO)}(ClO4)2. Non‐covalent interaction index (NCI) based on reduced density gradient (RDG) analysis on {[oCH]CuII(κ1‐ONO)}2+discloses a H‐bonding interaction between the apical 3° ammonium site and the nitrite anion bound to the copper(II) site. The FTIR spectra of [CuII](κ1‐ONO⋅⋅⋅H+) species (2H‐NO2) shows a shift of ammonium NH vibrational feature to a lower wavenumber due to the H‐bonding interaction with nitrite. The reactivity profile of [CuII](κ1‐ONO⋅⋅⋅H+) species (2H‐NO2) towards anaerobic nitration of substituted phenol (2,4‐DTBP) is distinctly different relative to that of the closely related tripodal [CuII]‐nitrite complexes (1‐NO2/3‐NO2/4‐NO2).

    Aμ-oxo vanadium(V) dimeric complex, μ-oxido-bis[(2,2′-{[ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanediyl)]bis(methylene)}diphenolato)oxidovanadium(V)], [V2(C16H18N2O2)2O3] (1), was crystallized by slow evaporation from an ethanol solution. Theμ-oxo dimer crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupC2/cwhere the salan ligand1acoordinates to the vanadium center in a κ2N,κ2Ofashion, forming a distorted octahedral geometry. The bridging oxo ligand lies on a crystallographic twofold axis. The unit cell consists of four molecules of1that are linked by C—H...·πareneinteractions as well as intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

    The 1:1 cocrystal of 5-fluorocytosine (5FC) and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4HB), C4H4FN3O·C7H6O2has been synthesized and its structure characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Hirshfeld surface analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinicP21/cspace group. A robust supramolecular architecture is stabilized by N—H...O, N—H...N, C—H...O and C—H...F hydrogen bonds, formingR22(8),R44(22),R66(32), andR88(34) ring motifs. The N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds form strong directional interactions, contributing to theR22(8) andR88(34) motifs through dimeric and extended ring structures. O—H...O interactions link 5FC and 4HB molecules, generating anR66(32) ring that enhances the packing. Weaker C—H...F bonds help form theR44(22) tetrameric motif, supporting the overall three-dimensional supramolecular framework. Additionally, C—F...π interactions between the fluorine atom and the aromatic ring add further to the crystal cohesion. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots confirm that O...H/H...O contacts are the most significant, highlighting the central role of hydrogen bonding in the stability and organization of the crystal structure.

    During the course of exploring crystallization conditions in generating metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for use in the crystalline sponge method, two discrete metal–organic complexes, namely, aqua[2,4,6-tris(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine]zinc(II) bromide, [Zn(C18H12N6)(H2O)]Br2, and aqua[2,4,6-tris(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine]zinc(II) chloride, [Zn(C18H12N6)(H2O)]Cl2, were encountered. Structures in the orthorhombic space groupPnma(No. 62) for the bromide congener at 299 K and the chloride congener at 100 K were obtained. A phase transition for the bromide congener occurred upon cooling from 299 to 100 K, yielding a crystal polymorph with four domains that exhibits monoclinicP21/mspace-group symmetry (No. 11), which arises from conformational changes. The main intramolecular contacts that contribute to the crystal packing in all observed structures are H...H, Halide...H/H...Halide, C...H/H...C, and N...H/H...N. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the Zn-bound water and non-Zn-bound pyridyl N atoms is a prominent feature within the three-dimensional networks. Aromatic π-stacking between the non-Zn-bound pyridine rings and contacts involving the halide ligands further stabilize the crystal packing.

    Bis(triphenylsulfonium) tetrachloridomanganate(II), (C18H15S)2[MnCl4] (I), triphenylsulfonium tetrachloridoferrate(III), (C18H15S)[FeCl4] (II), and bis(triphenylsulfonium) tetrachloridocobaltate(II), (C18H15S)2[CoCl4] (III), crystallize in the monoclinic space groupsP21/n[(I) and (III)] andP21/c[(II)]. Compounds (I) and (III) each contain two crystallographically independent triphenylsulfonium (TPS+) cations in the asymmetric unit, whereas (II) has one. In all three compounds, the sulfonium centers adopt distorted trigonal–pyramidal geometries, with S—C bond lengths falling roughly in the 1.78–1.79 Å range and C—S—C angles observed at about 101 to 106°. The [MCl4]n−anions (M= Mn2+, Fe3+, Co2+;n= 2,1,2) adopt slightly distorted tetrahedral geometries, withM—Cl bond lengths in the 2.19–2.38 Å range and Cl—M—Cl angles of approximately 104–113°. Hirshfeld surface analyses shows that H...H and H...C contacts dominate the TPS+cation environments, whereas H...Cl and shortM—S interactions link each [MCl4]n−anion to the surrounding cations. In (I) and (III), inversion-centered π–π stacking further consolidates the crystal packing, while in (II) no π–π interactions are observed.
