Description
Summary:The synthesis, structural and thermal characterisation of a number of coordination complexes featuring the N , O -heteroditopic ligand 4-(3,5-dimethyl-1 H -pyrazol-4-yl)benzoate, H L are reported. The reaction of H 2 L with cobalt( ii ) and nickel( ii ) nitrates at room temperature in basic DMF/H 2 O solution gave discrete mononuclear coordination complexes with the general formula {[M(H L ) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ]·2DMF} (M = Co ( 1 ), Ni ( 2 )), whereas the reaction with zinc( ii ) nitrate gave [Zn(H L ) 2 ] ∞ , 3 , a coordination polymer with distorted diamondoid topology and fourfold interpenetration. Coordination about the tetrahedral Zn( ii ) nodes in 3 are furnished by two pyrazolyl nitrogen atoms and two carboxylate oxygen atoms to give a mixed N 2 O 2 donor set. Isotopological coordination polymers of zinc( ii ), {[Zn(H L ) 2 ]·2CH 3 OH·H 2 O} ∞ , 4 , and cobalt( ii ), [Co(H L ) 2 ] ∞ , 5 , are formed when the reactions are carried out under solvothermal conditions in methanol (80 °C) and water (180 °C), respectively. The reaction of H 2 L with cadmium( ii ) nitrate at room temperature in methanol gives {[Cd(H L ) 2 (MeOH) 2 ]·1.8MeOH} ∞ 6 , a 2-D (4,4)-connected coordination polymer, whereas with copper( ii ) the formation of green crystals that transform into purple crystals is observed. The metastable green phase [Cu 3 (H L ) 4 (μ 2 -SO 4 )(H 2 O) 3 ] ∞ , 7 , crystallises with conserved binding domains of the heteroditopic ligand and contains two different metal nodes: a dicopper carboxylate paddle wheel motif, and, a dicopper unit bridged by sulfate ions and coordinated by ligand pyrazolyl nitrogen atoms. The resultant purple phase {[Cu(H L ) 2 ]·4CH 3 OH·H 2 O} ∞ , 8 , however, has single copper ion nodes coordinated by mixed N 2 O 2 donor sets with trans -square planar geometry and is threefold interpenetrated. The desolvation of 8 was followed by powder X-ray diffraction and single crystal X-ray diffraction which show desolvation induces the transition to a more closely packed structure while the coordination geometry about the copper ions and the network topology is retained. Powder X-ray diffraction and microanalysis were used to characterise the bulk purity of the coordination materials 1-6 and 8 . The thermal characteristics of 1-2 , 4-6 and 8 were studied by TG-DTA. This led to the curious observation of small exothermic events in networks 4 , 6 , and 8 that appear to be linked to their decomposition. In addition, the solid state structures of H
