Abstract
A discrete complex [Zn(tpro)2(H2O)2] (1, Htpro = l-thioproline), and two structural isomers of coordination polymers, a 1D chain of [Zn(tpro)2]n (2) and a layered structure [Zn(tpro)2]n [...] Read more.
A discrete complex [Zn(tpro)2(H2O)2] (1, Htpro = l-thioproline), and two structural isomers of coordination polymers, a 1D chain of [Zn(tpro)2]n (2) and a layered structure [Zn(tpro)2]n (3), were synthesized and characterized. The discrete complex 1 undergoes a temperature-driven structural transformation, leading to the formation of a 1D helical coordination polymer 2. Compound 3 is comprised of a 2D homochiral layer network with a (4,4) topology. These layers are mutually linked through hydrogen bonding interactions, resulting in the formation of a 3D network. When 1 is heated, it undergoes nearly complete conversion to the microcrystalline form, i.e., compound 2, which was confirmed by powder X-ray diffractions (PXRD). The carboxylate motifs could be activated after removing the coordinated water molecules by heating at temperatures of up to 150 °C, their orientations becoming distorted, after which, they attacked the activation sites of the Zn(II) centers, leading to the formation of a 1D helix. Moreover, a portion of the PXRD pattern of 1 was converted into the patterns corresponding to 2 and 3, and the ratio between 2 and 3 was precisely determined by the simulation study of in-situ synchrotron PXRD expriments. Consequently, such a 0D complex is capable of underdoing structural transformations and can be converted into 1D and/or 2D amino acid-based coordination polymers. Full article

Herein, we report the preparation of chiral, one-dimensional coordination polymers based on trinuclear paddlewheel helices [M3(dpa)4]2+ (M = Co(II) and Ni(II); dpa = the anion of 2,2′-dipyridylamine). Enantiomeric resolution of a racemic mixture of [M3(dpa)4]2+ complexes was achieved by chiral recognition of the respective enantiomer by [Δ-As2(tartrate)2]2− or [Λ-As2(tartrate)2]2− in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), affording crystalline coordination polymers formed from [(Δ-Co3(dpa)4)(Λ-As2(tartrate)2)]·3DMF (Δ-1), [(Λ-Co3(dpa)4)(Δ-As2(tartrate)2)]·3DMF (Λ-1), [(Δ-Ni3(dpa)4)(Λ-As2(tartrate)2)]·(4 − n)DMF∙nEt2O (Δ-2) or [(Λ-Ni3(dpa)4)(Δ-As2(tartrate)2)]·(4 − n)DMF∙nEt2O (Λ-2) repeating units. UV-visible circular dichroism spectra of the complexes in DMF solutions demonstrate the efficient isolation of optically active species. The helicoidal [M3(dpa)4]2+ units that were obtained display high stability towards racemization as shown by the absence of an evolution of the dichroic signals after several days at room temperature and only a small decrease of the signal after 3 h at 80 °C.

Two new 2D Cd(II)-based coordination polymers (CPs), viz. [Cd2(H2L)2(2,2’-bipy)2] (1) and [Cd(L)0.5(phen)·0.5H2O] (2), have been constructed using ethylene glycol ether bridging tetracarboxylate ligand 5,5′(4,4′-phenylenebis(methyleneoxy)) diisophthalic acid (H4L). Both CPs behaved as profound fluorescent sensor for Fe3+ ion and nitro-aromatics (NACs), specifically 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). The stability at elevated temperature and photocatalytic behaviors of both 1 and 2 for photo-decomposition of aromatic dyes have also been explored. An attempt has been made to explore the plausible mechanism related with the decrease in fluorescence intensity of 1 and 2 in presence of NACs using theoretical calculations. Additionally, the probable mechanism of photo catalysis by 1 and 2 to photo-degrade aromatic dyes has been explained using density of states (DOS) calculations. Full article

Two new three-dimensional (3D) Co(II)- and Cu(II)-azido frameworks, [Co2(N3)4(bpym)2]n (1) and [Cu2(N3)4(bpym)]n (2), were successfully synthesized by introducing a semi-flexible N-donor ligand, 5,5′-bipyrimidin (bpym), with different bridging modes and orientations. Compounds 1 and 2 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and elemental analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 are 3D pillared-layer frameworks with double end-on (EO) azido bridged dinuclear motifs, [M2(EO-N3)2]. In Compound 1, the bpym ligands show trans μ2-bridging mode and the role as pillars to connect the Co(II)-azido layers, composed of [Co2(EO-N3)2] motifs and single end-to-end (EE) azido bridges, to a 3D network with BN topology. In contrast, in 2, the bpym ligand adopts a twisted μ4-bridging mode, which not only connects the adjacent [Cu2(EO-N3)2] units to a layer, but also functions as a pillar for the layers of the 3D structure. The structural diversities between the two types of architectures can be attributed to the coordination geometry preference of the metal ions (octahedral for Co2+ and square pyramidal for Cu2+). Magnetic investigations revealed that Compound 1 exhibits ferromagnetic-like magnetic ordering due to spin canting with a critical temperature, TC = 33.0 K, and furthers the field-induced magnetic transitions of metamagnetism at temperatures below TC. Compound 2 shows an antiferromagnetic ordering with TN = 3.05 K and a field-induced magnetic transition of spin-flop at temperatures below the TN. Full article

We herein selected a 3D metal–organic framework decorated with carboxylate groups as an adsorbent to remove the pharmaceutical molecules of diclofenac sodium and chlorpromazine hydrochloride from water. The experiment aimed at exploring the effect factors of initial concentration, equilibrium time, temperature, pH and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption process. The adsorption uptake rate of the diclofenac sodium is much higher than that of the chlorpromazine hydrochloride. This paper presents the high adsorption capacity of diclofenac sodium, in which porous MOFs are used for the removal of drug contaminants from water. According to linear fitting with adsorption isotherm equation and kinetic equations, diclofenac sodium conforms to the Langmuir model and pseudo-first-order kinetic equation, while chlorpromazine hydrochloride accords with the Temkin model and pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. The results of the study indicate that the title compound could be a promising hybrid material for removing diclofenac sodium and chlorpromazine hydrochloride from wastewater. Full article

Two new Co(II) and Cu(II) coordination polymers, {Co(HL1)2(μ-L2)(H2O)2}n (1) and {[Cu(HL1)2(μ-L2)H2O]·H2O}n (2) (H2L1 = Phthalic acid and L2 = 2-aminopyrazine), have been synthesized by slow evaporation of solvent and characterized by IR spectroscopic, elemental, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. X-ray results indicate that in both the polymers, phthalate acts as a monodentate ligand and the aminopyrazine ligand is responsible for the formation of the infinite one-dimensional chain structure. The solid-state structures are stabilized through hydrogen bonds and N‒H···π interactions by generating two-dimensional layered structures. Finally, the non-covalent interactions have been studied energetically and using Bader’s theory of atoms in molecules by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the metal coordination on the strength of the interaction has been studied using molecular electrostatic potential surface calculations. Full article

Three new cadmium coordination polymers, namely [Cd(NO3)2(DPNDI)(CH3OH)]·CH3OH (1), [Cd(SCN)2(DPNDI)] (2), and [Cd(DPNDI)2(DMF)2]·2ClO4 (3) (DPNDI = N,N-di(4-pyridyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalene diimide, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) have been synthesized by reactions of DPNDI with Cd(NO3)2, Cd(SCN)2, and Cd(ClO4)2, respectively. Compound 1 is a one-dimensional coordination polymer with strong lone pair-π interactions between the coordinated NO3− anions and the imide ring of DPNDI; while 2 is a two-dimensional network with a (4, 4) net topology. In the case of 3, due to the presence of uncoordinated perchlorate counter ions, it exhibits a non-interpenetrated square-grid coordination polymer containing one-dimensional rhomboid channels. The structural diversity in these compounds is attributed to different coordination abilities and geometries of counter anions. Due to the presence of electron-deficient NDI moiety, the photochromic behavior of these compounds was studied. Interestingly, only compounds 1 and 3 exhibit color changes under light irradiation. The influence of the anions on the photochromism process of the NDI-based materials has been discussed. Full article

Ten coordination polymers constructed from divalent metal salts, polycarboxylic acids, and bis-pyridyl-bis-amide ligands with different donor atom positions and flexibility are reported. They were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The ten coordination polymers are as follows: (1) {[Ni(L1)(3,5-PDA)(H2O)3]·2H2O}n (L1 = N,N′-di(3-pyridyl)suberoamide, 3,5-H2PDA = 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid); (2) {[Ni2(L1)2(1,3,5-HBTC)2(H2O)4]·H2O}n (1,3,5-H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid); (3) {[Ni(L2)(5-tert-IPA)(H2O)2]·2H2O}n (L2 = N,N′-di(3-pyridyl)adipoamide, 5-tert-H2IPA = 5-tert-butylisophthalic acid); (4) [Ni(L3)1.5(5-tert-IPA)]n (L3 = N,N′-di(4-pyridyl)adipoamide); (5) [Co(L1)(1,3,5-HBTC)(H2O)]n; (6) {[Co3(L1)3(1,3,5-BTC)2(H2O)2]·6H2O}n; (7) [Cu(L4)(AIPA)]n (L4 = N,N′-bis(3-pyridinyl)terephthalamide, H2AIPA = 5-acetamido isophthalic acid); (8) {[Cu(L2)0.5(AIPA)]·MeOH}n; (9) {[Zn(L4)(AIPA)]·2H2O}n; and (10) {[Zn(L2)(AIPA)]·2H2O}n. Complex 1 forms a 1D chain and 2 is a two-fold interpenetrated 2D layer with the sql topology, while 3 is a 2D layer with the hcp topology and 4 shows a self-catenated 3D framework with the rare (42·67·8)-hxg-d-5-C2/c topology. Different Co/1,3,5-H3BTC ratios were used to prepare 5 and 6, affording a 2D layer with the sql topology and a 2D layer with the (4·85)2(4)2(83)2(8) topology that can be further simplified to an hcp topology. While complex 7 is a 2D layer with the (42·67·8)(42·6)-3,5L2 topology and 8 is a 2-fold interpenetrated 3D framework with the pcu topology, complexes 9 and 10 are self-catenated 3D frameworks with the (424·64)-8T2 and the (44·610·8)-mab topologies, respectively. The effects of the identity of the metal center, the ligand isomerism, and the flexibility of the spacer ligands on the structural diversity of these divalent coordination polymers are discussed. The luminescent properties of 9 and 10 and their photocatalytic effects on the degradation of dyes are also investigated. Full article

A 3D porous framework ([Co1.5(tib)(dcpna)]·6H2O) (1) with a Wei topology has been synthesized by solvothermal reaction of 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)-benzene (tib), 5-(3′,5′-dicarboxylphenyl)nicotinic acid (H3dcpna) and cobalt nitrate. The electrocatalytic activity for water oxidation of 1 has been investigated in alkaline solution. Compound 1 exhibits good oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities in alkaline solution, exhibiting 10 mA·cm−2 at η = 360 mV with a Tafel slope of 89 mV·dec−1. The high OER activity can be ascribe to 1D open channels along b axis of 1, which expose more activity sites and facilitate the electrolyte penetration. Full article

Reaction of NiCl2∙6H2O, d-camphoric acid (d-H2cam), and N,N′-bis(pyraz-2-yl)piperazine (bpzpip) in pure water at 150 °C afforded a novel nickel(II) coordination layer, [Ni4(d-cam)2(d-Hcam)4(bpzpip)4(H2O)2] (1), under hydro(solvo)thermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis reveals that 1 adopts a six-connected two-dimensional (2D) chiral layer structure with 36-hxl topology. Dye adsorption explorations indicate that 1 readily adsorbs methyl blue (MyB) from water without destruction of crystallinity. On the contrary, methyl orange (MO) is not adsorbed at all. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model could be used to interpret the adsorption kinetics for MyB. Equilibrium isotherm studies suggest complicated adsorption processes for MyB which do not have good applicability for either the two-parameter Langmuir or Freundlich isotherm model. The saturated adsorption capacity of 1 for MyB calculated by Langmuir is 185.5 mg·g−1 at room temperature. Full article

Structural determination reveals that the coordination numbers (geometry) of Zn(II) ions in 1, 2, 3, and 4 are five (distorted square-pyramidal (SP)), six (distorted octahedral (Oh)), five (trigonal-bipyramidal (TBP)), and four (tetrahedral (Td)), respectively, and are bridged by 4-bpdh with bis-monodentate coordination mode and bdc2− ligands with bis-bidentate in 1, chelating/bidentate in 2, bis-monodentate and bis-bidentate in 3, and bis-monodentate in 4, to generate two-fold interpenetrating 3D cube-like metal-organic framework (MOF) with pcu topology, non-interpenetrating 3D MOF, two-fold interpenetrating 3D rectangular-box-like MOF with pcu topology and five-fold interpenetrating diamondoid-like MOF with dia topology, respectively. These different intriguing architectures indicate that the coordination numbers and geometries of Zn(II) ions, coordination modes of bdc2− ligand, and guest molecules play important roles in the construction of MOFs and the formation of the structural topologies and interpenetrations. Thermal stabilities, and photoluminescence study of 1–4 were also studied in detail. The complexes exhibit ligands based photoluminescence properties at room temperature. Full article

Additionally, studies on this reaction carried out in the presence of different surfactants gives rise to the control of the particle size due to the modulation of the electrostatic interactions. Stability of the water suspensions obtained within the time and pH has been evaluated. We have also studied that there is no significant effect of the size reduction in the magnetic properties of the Cu(II)-adenine coordination polymer. Full article

Abstract
A series of aluminum-based coordination polymers or metal–organic frameworks (Al–MOFs), i.e., DUT-4, DUT-5, MIL-53, NH2-MIL-53, and MIL-100, have been facile prepared by microwave (MW)-assisted reactions and used as catalysts for selective sulfoxidation reactions. The MW-assisted synthesis drastically reduced the reaction time [...] Read more.
A series of aluminum-based coordination polymers or metal–organic frameworks (Al–MOFs), i.e., DUT-4, DUT-5, MIL-53, NH2-MIL-53, and MIL-100, have been facile prepared by microwave (MW)-assisted reactions and used as catalysts for selective sulfoxidation reactions. The MW-assisted synthesis drastically reduced the reaction time from few days to hours. The prepared MOFs have smaller and uniform particle sizes and better yield compared to conventional hydrothermal method. Furthermore, the Al–MOFs have been successfully demonstrated as catalysts in oxidation reaction of methyl phenyl sulfide with H2O2 as oxidant, even under mild conditions, with more than 95% conversion.
