Abstract:
Reaction of copper(II) tetrazolate-5-carboxylate with different neutral N-donor spacer ligands under hydrothermal conditions leads to the formation of five new coordination polymers, [Cu(tzc)(pyz)(0.5)(H(2)O)(2)](n)·H(2)O (1), [Cu(tzc)(pyz)](n) (2), [Cu(tzc)(pym)(H(2)O)](n) (3), [Cu(tzc)(dpe)(0.5)(H(2)O)](n) (4) and [Cu(tzc)(azpy)(0.5)(H(2)O)](n) (5) (tzc = tetrazolate-5-carboxylate, pyz = pyrazine, pym = pyrimidine, dpe = 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene and azpy = 4,4'-azopyridine). All five structures were characterized by X-ray single-crystal measurements and bulk material can be prepared phase pure in high yields. The crystal structures of the hydrates 1, 3, 4 and 5 show dimeric [Cu(2)(N(tzc)-N(tzc))(2)] building units formed by μ(2)-N1,O1:N2 bridging tzc ligands as the characteristic structural motif. These six-membered entities in 1, 4 and 5 are connected by μ(2)-N,N' bridging N-donor ligands into 1D chains and in 3 into 2D layers. In the crystal structure of compound 2 adjacent Cu(II) cations are connected by μ(2)-N1,O1:N4,O2 bridging tzc ligands into chains, which are further connected by μ(2)-N,N' bridging pyz ligands forming 2D layers. Extensive hydrogen bonds in all compounds play an important role in the construction of their supramolecular networks. Investigations of their thermal properties reveal water release upon heating according to the formation of anhydrates before starting decomposing above 220 °C. Furthermore, the magnetic properties have been studied leading to consistent global antiferromagnetic exchange interactions with coupling constants of J = 3 ± 1 cm(-1) and long-range antiferromagnetic ordering states at lower temperatures.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
