Abstract:
Two 3D coordination polymers of Mn(II) with azide and bifunctional zwitterionic ligands bearing both carboxylate and tetrazolate groups, 1-(carboxylatomethyl)-3-(5-tetrazolato)pyridinium (L(1)) and 1-(carboxylatoethyl)-4-(5-tetrazolato)pyridinium (L(2)), were synthesized, and structurally and magnetically characterized. They are formulated as [Mn(3)(L(1))(2)(N(3))(4)(H(2)O)(2)](n)·4nH(2)O (1) and [Mn(3)(L(2))(2)(N(3))(4)(H(2)O)(3)](n)·3.5nH(2)O (2). In both compounds, octahedral Mn(II) ions are linked by the mixed (μ(2)-EO-N(3))(μ(2)-syn,syn-COO)(μ(2)-N(2),N(3)-CN(4)) (CN(4) = tetrazolate and EO = end-on) triple bridges to give anionic linear trinuclear motifs. The motifs are connected through EE-N(3) (EE = end-to-end) bridges to give layers and chains in 1 and 2, respectively, and the cationic pyridinium spacers serve to interlink the layers or chains into three-dimensional frameworks with the α-Po and CdSO(4)-type topology, respectively. Magnetic studies demonstrated that the magnetic interactions within and between the trinuclear motifs, through the tricomponent and EE-N(3) bridges, respectively, are both antiferromagnetic in both compounds.

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.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
