Abstract:
Single crystal of 1D homometallic coordination polymer involving cobalt metal ion and P2Mo5 Strandberg type polyoxometallate cluster (C6H10N2)2[Co(H2O)4P2Mo5O23].6H2O, is prepared in aqueous solution and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance, fluorescence and magnetism. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that this compound crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P [Formula: see text]. The 3-(ammoniomethyl)pyridine C6H8N2 organic fragment is used merely as stabilizer for the promotion of topological structure. DRS data indicate that the synthesized material can be identified as a ferromagnetic semiconductor with optical bands gaps energy of 1.81 and 2.74 eV, respectively. The large value of refractive index observed in the visible region make the simple a promising candidate for visible optical communication devices and fluorescent emisson result provides that the complex belongs to a blue luminescent compounds. Moreover, magnetic measurements and electronic structure calculations show that P2Mo5 Strandberg polyoxoanion can be reported as a new class of ligand that is candidate to construct metal-inorganic framworks with long distance ferromagnetic superechange between Co(II) centers. The evidence from this study suggests that the syntesized polymer can become a great multifunctional material openning the door for the developpement of new coordination polymers based on Strandberg type polyxoxmetalate with potential applications.

Colors 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...
Structural 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...
Stereoisomerism
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...
Metal-Ligand Bonds
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...
