A new complex with the formula [Co(acac)_2(NITQ)_2]×2CH_2Cl_2 1(acac = acetylacetone, NITQ = 2-(2′-quinoxalinyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide), was synthesized and elucidated structurally as well as magnetically in detail. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P2_1/c with a = 9.6896(1), b = 20.539(4), c = 12.147(2) ?, β = 93.84(3)°, M_r = 997.65, V = 2412.1(8) ?~3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.374 g/cm, F(000) = 1038, m = 0.635 mm^(-1), the final R = 0.0539 and w R = 0.1289 for 5998 observed reflections(I 〉 2σ(I)). The Co(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of quinoxaline rings from two NITQs and four oxygen atoms from two acac ions to complete a distorted octahedral coordination environment. Compound 1 is further linked into a three-dimensional(3D) supramolecular network by hydrogen-bonding, Cl×××O weak contact and π···π stacking interactions. The magnetic measurements show compound 1 exhibits weak ferromagnetic interactions.
A new complex, [Ni(acac)2(NITQ)2]-2CH2C12 1 (acac = acetylacetone, NITQ = 2-(2"-quinoxalinyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-l-oxyl-3-oxide), was synthesized and charac- terized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectrum, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 9.6970(19), b = 20.410(4), c = 12.166(2) A, β = 93.89(3)°, Mr = 997.43, V= 2402.3(8) A3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.379 g/cm3, F(000) = 1040,μ = 0.684 mm-1, the final R = 0.0423 and wR = 0.1197 for 2884 observed reflections (1 〉 2σ(I)). Compound 1 is found to assume a mononuclear structure, which is further linked into a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular network by hydrogen-bonding, C1...O weak contact and π...π stacking interactions. Moreover, the luminescent properties of the ligand and compound 1 were further investigated in detail.
A new complex with formula [Cd(3-pbpmb)2 I2]n 1(3-pbpmb = 1,4-bis(pyridine-3-ylmethoxy)benzene), has been solvothermally synthesized and characterized. The crystal belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 8.2905(17), b = 16.078(3), c = 13.213(3)A, β = 99.44(3)°, Mr = 950.86, V = 1737.3(6) A^3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.818 g/cm^3, F(000) = 924, m = 2.450 mm(-1), the final R = 0.0198 and w R = 0.0467 for 3053 observed reflections(I > 2σ(I)). The Cd(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated by four N atoms of four 3-pbpmb ligands and two iodine ions to furnish a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The Cd(Ⅱ) ion and its own symmetry-related ions are bridged by N atoms from two 3-pbpmb ligands to generate a "zigzag" 1-D chain coordination polymer. These 1D chains are further connected into a three-dimensional(3D) framework by C–H×××pinteractions and intermolecular C–H×××I hydrogen bond. Interestingly, 1 displays efficient sorption of molecular iodine gas(up to 111 wt%), but invalid sorption of molecular water gas.
