Abstract:
Two types of 2D [RMI]2[Zn3(BDC)3X2] (Type A) and 3D [Zn(BDC)(H2O)] (Type B) (H2BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate acid) compounds were synthesized with three kinds of 1-alkyl-3-methyl imidazolium halide ([RMI]X) ionic liquids. Type A is the primary structure model showing a (3,6) network. Type B can be obtained from [BMI]Cl, [AMI]Cl and [AMI]Br media, showing a 4,4-connected {4(2)·8(4)} network. The structure, TG, and fluorescence analyses demonstrate the combination effect of the RMI(+) templating effect and X(-) controlling the structure types. The boundary between Types A and B is from [PMI]Cl, via [BMI]Br, to [AMI]I as the reaction media. The decomposition temperatures of the compounds in Type A decrease with increased RMI(+), while X(-) anions exert the influence that compounds containing Br(-) supply the highest thermal stability. Similarly, with increased RMI(+), or X = I(-), the compounds show red shifts compared to the emissions of the ligand.

02:42Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...

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...
