Abstract:
By utilizing two kinds of pendent organic ligands, four new Keggin-based compounds, [Ag(bpz)2(pz)(H2O)(H3PMo12O40)2] (), [Ag(bpz)2(H3PMo12O40)]·2H2O (), [Ag(btz)4(PMo12O40)] () and [Ag(btz)3(PMo12O40)]·H2O () (bpz = 4-butyl-1H-pyrazole, pz = pyrazole, btz = 1-benzyl-1H-(1,2,4)triazole), were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds and were obtained in one-pot reaction, as well as compounds and . In compound , six Ag(I) ions are fused by four bpz and two pz molecules to form a hexa-nuclear cycle, with two coordinated water embedding through Ag-O bonds. The three-connected Mo13-containing PMo12 anions connect these cycles alternately to construct 1D chains, which are further linked by four-connected Mo1-containing PMo12 anions to build a 3D framework of . Compound contains 1D Ag(I) chains, linked by four-connected Mo1-containing PMo12 and two-connected Mo7-containing PMo12 respectively to construct a 3D structure. The pz ligand was not observed in . In compound , there exist [Ag(btz)4](3+) subunits, which are alternately connected by PMo12 anions to form a 1D chain. In compound , there exists a zigzag Ag-btz chain. The adjacent chains are further linked by Ag-C bonds and a 2D metal-organic layer is constructed. The PMo12 anions link adjacent layers to build a 3D framework of . The syntheses of compounds and , and prove that the one-pot method under hydrothermal conditions is efficient for pursuing even two more kinds of crystals.

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...

As shown below, the mechanism proceeds in two steps. First, one of the alkyl groups of the reagent acts as a nucleophile and attacks the acyl carbon of the acid chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen...

Selection Rules: Thermal Activation
Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
