Abstract:
To evaluate magnetic properties of isostructural compounds, a series of 3D carboxylate coordination polymers [M(H2bpta)]n, (H4bpta = 2,2',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid, M = Fe(II) (1), Ni(II) (2), Cu(II) (3) and Zn(II) (4)), was synthesized in H2O-CH3CN or H2O solvents, respectively. Structurally, complexes 1-4 have isostructural features with (5,5)-connected 3D framework, wherein the M(II) centre takes an octahedral coordination environment consisting of six oxygen atoms from carboxylates of ligands. The M(II) sites are linked by syn-anti carboxylates to form chains with an M···M separation of 4.880(2) (M = Fe), 4.784(2) (M = Ni), 4.541(2) (M = Cu), and 4.607(2) Å (M = Zn), respectively. The shortest M···M distances between interchains locate 9.122(4), 9.077(3), 9.361(3), and 8.767(2) Å, respectively. Magnetically, the isostructural polymers show different magnetic behaviors due to different spins of central ions. Theoretical analysis indicates that couplings between magnetic ions obey uniform chain models. The magnetic susceptibility of 1 and 2 are perfectly fitted by the modified Fisher model to yield an effective intra-chain exchange coupling constant of -0.81(1) and 3.67(2) cm(-1), respectively. For 3, a Heisenberg ferromagnetic S = 1/2 chain included the intra-chain magnetic exchange interaction (J = 9.28(1) cm(-1), and zj' = -0.068(3) cm(-1)), weak ferromagnetic interactions in intra-chains, and weak antiferromagnetic interactions between interchains. The phenomena of 1-3 accord with the common view that the exchange interaction between two magnetic M(II) ions bridged by the syn-anti carboxylate bridge is dominantly weak ferro- or anti-ferromagnetic interactions. In addition, the M-O-C-O-M spin exchange interactions |J| of M2(CO2)2 (M = Mn(3d(5))(20), Fe(3d(6)), Co(3d(7))(20), Ni(3d(8)), Cu(3d(9))) decrease in strength with Cu2(CO2)2 > Ni2(CO2)2 > Co2(CO2)2 > Fe2(CO2)2 > Mn2(CO2)2, consistent with orbit order.

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,...

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

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...
