Synthesis, crystal structure, and luminescence of a heterotrinuclear Cu2Cd complex containing macrocyclic oxamide and thiocyanate ligands

The complex incorporating macrocyclic oxamide of the formula [(CuL)2Cd(NCS)2] (H2L = 2,3-dioxo-5,6,14,15-dibenzo-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclo-pentadeca-7,13-diene) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The crystals crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, a = 13.865(3), b = 14.390(3), c = 38.252(8) Å, β = 92.45(3)°, Z = 8. The crystal structure unit is a trianuclear complex in which the Cd2+ and Cu2+ ions are bridged by the macrocyclic oxamide groups. The [(CuL)2Cd(NCS)2] units are alternately bridged by C-H···O to C-H···S hydrogen bond to form a 2D framework. The luminescent property of the compound is also discussed.

Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Fluorescence Properties of Ni(II)–Ln(III) Complexes (Ln = Sm, Pr, Eu)

Three novel 3d–4f heterometal complexes [Ln(NiL)3(Btca)(NO3)] · xH2O (Ln = Sm(III) (I), Pr(III) (II), Eu(III) (III) (H2L = 2,3-dioxo-5,6,14,15-dibenzo-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclo-pentadeca-7,13-dien, H2Btca = benzotriazole-5-carboxylic acid) were solvothermally synthesized and characterized by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction (CIF files CCDC nos. 1555557 (I), 1555555 (II), 1555556 (III)). They crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n for I (x = 1.5) and C2/c for (II) and (III) (x = 1), respectively. In these complexes, the central Ln(III) and external nickel ions are bridged by macrocyclic oxamide groups. The metal center of Ln(III) resides in a distorted bicapped square antiprism surrounding with six oxygen atoms of three oxamide groups, two oxygen atoms of Btca2– ion and two oxygen atoms of NO3-. Furthermore, there are C–H···O and/or C–H···N hydrogen bond interactions among nitrate, benzotriazole-5-carboxylate, macrocyclic oxamide and water to form three-dimensional superamolecular architecture. The fluorescence properties of the compounds I and II are also discussed.

AbstractA novel heterometallic coordination polymer {[Cd2(NiL)2(Btca)4] · H2O}n (I) (H2L = 2,3-dioxo5,6,14,15-dibenzo-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclo-pentadeca-7,13-dien, H2Btca = benzotriazole-5-carboxylic acid) was synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction (CIF file CCDC no. 1043065).

Three complexes with the formula [Co(Ip)(CuL)(H2O)2] · H2O (I), [Co(Ip)(NiL)(H2O)2] · H2O (II), [Co(CuL)2(Hbtc)(H2O)] (III), (H2Ip = m-isophthalic acid; H2L = 2,3-dioxo-5,6,14,15-dibenzo-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclo-pentadeca-7,13-dien; H3Btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal that the complexes I and II contain neutral heterometallic binuclear CoM (for I and II, M = Cu, Ni, respectively) moieties, and complex III contains discrete neutral trinuclear CoCu2 moieties. The structures of I–III consist of two-dimensional supramolecular architecture formed by strong O-H…O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of complex I were investigated and discussed in detail.
