Synthesis, Structure, and Characterization of Keggin-Type Germanate

A novel Keggin-type germanate, (NH4)9[Ge7O14F3]3·1.75H2O (I), is hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, elemental analysis, XRD, and TG. (I) is tetragonal system with space group I4/mmm and unit cell: (4) A, (5) A, (6) A3, , , , for 2576 reflections with (Fo). Ge7O14F3 entry is defined as the cluster including one octahedron, two edge-sharing triganol bipyramids, and four tetrahedra. Every Ge7O14F3 entry links adjacent four Ge7O14F3 entries by four tetrahedra. Twelve Ge7O14F3 entries construct a cage with all octahedra of Ge7O14F3 pointing inside, which can be simplified into Keggin-type cage through Ge7O14F3 as the node. The solvent experiment proves that (I) is stable in the water and sensitive to base and acid. The result of XRD shows that the structural water of (I) is easily lost to drop the crystalline. The thermal study indicates that the Keggin-type cage of (I) begins to partly collapse at 200°C and finally changes into GeO2.

The polymeric title compound, [Cu(C6H2O5)(C12H8N2)(C5H10N2O)]n, is composed of an infinite chain formed along [100] by linking the (1,3-dimethylimidazolin-2-one)(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II) units with two O atoms of two carboxylate groups of the furan-2,5-dicarboxylate ligand. The CuII atom, which lies on a twofold rotation axis, displays a square-pyramidal coordination. The dihedral angles of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand with respect to the furan rings of the carboxylate anions that are connected to the metal atom are 62.18 (11) and 88.27 (12)°.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Cu2(C6H2O5)2(C12H8N2)2(H2O)3]·C3H7NO}n, contains two CuII atoms, two furan-2,5-dicarboxylate (L) ligands, two 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands, three coordinating water molecules and one N,N-dimethylformamide solvent molecule. Each CuII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from one phen ligand, two O atoms from two L ligands and two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. The main difference between the environments of the two independent Cu atoms is in the Cu—Owater distances, which are 2.415 (2) and 2.639 (2) Å for one CuII atom and 2.3560 (19) and 2.911 (4) Å for the other. Ligands L and one independent water molecule bridge the CuII atoms, forming corrugated polymeric layers parallel to the ab plane. Intermolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds consolidate the crystal packing.
