In recent years, coordination polymers constructed from multidentate carboxylate ligands and N-containing ligands have attracted much attention since these ligands can adopt a rich variety of coordination modes which can lead to crystalline products with intriguing structures and interesting properties. A new coordination polymer, namely poly[[diaqua[μ-2,7-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)fluorene-κ2 N 3:N 3′][μ-5,5′-methylenebis(3-carboxy-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoato)-κ2 O 1:O 1′]zinc(II)] hemihydrate], {[Zn(C23H22O8)(C19H14N4)(H2O)2]·0.5H2O} n , 1, was prepared by the self-assembly of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O with 5,5′-methylenebis(2,4,6-trimethylisophthalic acid) (H4BTMIPA) and 2,7-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)fluorene (BIF) under solvothermal conditions. The structure of 1 was determined by elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Each ZnII ion is six-coordinated by two O atoms from two H2BTMIPA2− ligands, by two N atoms from two BIF ligands and by two water molecules, forming a distorted octahedral ZnN2O4 coordination geometry. Adjacent ZnII ions are linked by H2BTMIPA2− ligands and BIF ligands, leading to the formation of a two-dimensional (2D) (4,4)-sql network, and intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions connect the 2D layer structure into the three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure. Each 2D layer contains two kinds of helices with the same direction, which are opposite in adjacent layers. The luminescence properties of complex 1 in the solid state have also been investigated.

As a class of multifunctional materials, crystalline supramolecular complexes have attracted much attention because of their unique architectures, intriguing topologies and potential applications. In this article, a new supramolecular compound, namely catena-poly[4,4′-(buta-1,3-diene-1,4-diyl)dipyridin-1-ium [(μ4-benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylato-κ6 O 1,O 1′:O 2:O 4,O 4′:O 5)cadmium(II)]], {(C14H14N2)[Cd(C10H2O8)]} n or {(1,4-H2bpbd)[Cd(1,2,4,5-btc)]} n , has been prepared by the self-assembly of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O, benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid (1,2,4,5-H4btc) and 1,4-bis(pyridin-4-yl)buta-1,3-diene (1,4-bpbd) under hydrothermal conditions. The title compound has been structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Each CdII centre is coordinated by six O atoms from four different (1,2,4,5-btc)4− tetraanions. Each CdII cation, located on a site of twofold symmetry, binds to four carboxylate groups belonging to four separate (1,2,4,5-btc)4− ligands. Each (1,2,4,5-btc)4− anion, situated on a position of \overline{1} symmetry, binds to four crystallographically equivalent CdII centres. Neighbouring CdII cations interconnect bridging (1,2,4,5-btc)4− anions to form a three-dimensional {[Cd(1,2,4,5-btc)]2−} n anionic coordination network with infinite tubular channels. The channels are visible in both the [1\overline{1}0] and the [001] direction. Such a coordination network can be simplified as a (4,4)-connected framework with the point symbol (4284)(4284). To balance the negative charge of the metal–carboxylate coordination network, the cavities of the network are occupied by protonated (1,4-H2bpbd)2+ cations that are located on sites of twofold symmetry. In the crystal, there are strong hydrogen-bonding interactions between the anionic coordination network and the (1,4-H2bpbd)2+ cations. Considering the hydrogen-bonding interactions, the structure can be further regarded as a three-dimensional (4,6)-connected supramolecular architecture with the point symbol (4264)(42687·84). The thermal stability and photoluminescence properties of the title compound have been investigated.

A novel tungstoantimonate, [Na5(H2O)18{(HOCH2)2CHNH3}2][SbVWVI 6O24] (SbW6 ), was synthesized from an aqueous solution and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which revealed C2/c symmetry. The structure contains two serinol [(HOCH2)2CHNH3]+ and five Na+ cations, which are octahedrally surrounded by 18 water molecules, and one [SbVWVI 6O24]7− anion. The serinol molecules also play a critical role in the synthesis by acting as a mild buffering agent. Each of the WVI and SbV ions is six-coordinated and displays a distorted octahedral motif. A three-dimensional supramolecular framework is formed via hydrogen-bonding interactions between the tungstoantimonates and cations. Powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and IR spectroscopy were performed on SbW6 to prove the purity, to identify the water content and to characterize the vibrational modes of the crystallized phase.

A new coordination polymer (CP), namely poly[(μ-4,4′-bipyridine)(μ3-3,4′-oxydibenzoato)cobalt(II)], [Co(C14H8O5)(C10H8N2)] n or [Co(3,4′-obb)(4,4′-bipy)] n (1), was prepared by the self-assembly of Co(NO3)2·6H2O with the rarely used 3,4′-oxydibenzoic acid (3,4′-obbH2) ligand and 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) under solvothermal conditions, and has been structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray crystallography and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that each CoII ion is six-coordinated by four O atoms from three 3,4′-obb2− ligands, of which two function as monodentate ligands and the other as a bidentate ligand, and by two N atoms from bridging 4,4′-bipy ligands, thereby forming a distorted octahedral CoN2O4 coordination geometry. Adjacent crystallographically equivalent CoII ions are bridged by the O atoms of 3,4′-obb2− ligands, affording an eight-membered Co2O4C2 ring which is further extended into a two-dimensional [Co(3,4′-obb)] n sheet along the ab plane via 3,4′-obb2− functioning as a bidentate bridging ligand. The planes are interlinked into a three-dimensional [Co(3,4′-obb)(4,4′-bipy)] n network by 4,4′-bipy ligands acting as pillars along the c axis. Magnetic investigations on CP 1 disclose an antiferromagnetic coupling within the dimeric Co2 unit and a metamagnetic behaviour at low temperature resulting from intermolecular π–π interactions between the parallel 4,4′-bipy ligands.

Porphyrins and metalloporphyrins can generally show attractive structural motifs and interesting properties. A new copper porphyrin, namely poly[[μ-chlorido-[μ5-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pyridin-4-yl)-21H,23H-porphine]tricopper(I)] [aquadichloridocopper(II)]], {[Cu3(C40H24N8)Cl][CuCl2(H2O)]} n (1), was synthesized by the self-assembly of copper chloride with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pyridin-4-yl)-21H,23H-porphine under solvothermal conditions. The structure of this copper porphyrin was characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and elemental analysis. The porphyrin macrocycle shows a distorted saddle geometry, with the four pyrrole rings slightly distorted in an alternating mode either upwards or downwards. The copper ions show three-coordinated triangular and four-coordinated square-planar geometries. Every copper–porphyrin unit connects to 12 others via four μ4-bridging Cu2Cl moieties to complete the three-dimensional framework of compound 1, with isolated CuCl2(H2O) units located in the voids. This copper porphyrin displays a red photoluminescence. Electrochemical measurements showed that compound 1 has two redox waves (E 1/2 = −160 and 91 mV).

Multidentate carboxylate ligands have been widely used in the construction of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) owing to the rich variety of their coordination modes, which can lead to crystalline products with interesting structures and properties. Two new main-group MOFs, namely, poly[[di-μ-aqua-diaqua(dimethylformamide)[μ7-5,5′-methylenebis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3-dicarboxylato)]dibarium(II)] trihydrate], {[Ba2(C23H20O8)(C3H7NO)(H2O)4]·3H2O} n or {[Ba2(BTMIPA)(DMF)(H2O)4]·3H2O} n (1), and poly[[diaqua[μ6-5,5′-methylenebis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3-dicarboxylato)]dilead(II)] 2.5-hydrate], {[Pb2(C23H20O8)(H2O)2]·2.5H2O} n or {[Pb2(BTMIPA)(H2O)2]·2.5H2O} n (2), were prepared by the self-assembly of metal salts with the semi-rigid tetracarboxylic acid ligand 5,5′-methylenebis(2,4,6-trimethylisophthalic acid) (H4BTMIPA). Both structures were characterized by elemental analysis (EA), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Complex 1 reveals a three-dimensional (3D) flu network formed via bridging tetranuclear secondary building units (SBUs) and complex 2 displays a 3D framework with an sqp topology based on one-dimensional metal chains. The BTMIPA4− ligands adopt a rare coordination mode in 2, although the ligands in both 1 and 2 are X-shaped. The luminescence properties of both complexes were investigated in the solid state.

Two novel coordination compounds, namely, [Sm2(pypza)2(H2O)10]Cl4·H2O (1) and [Eu(pypza)(C2O4)] (2), where pypza = 3-(2-pyridyl)-1-pyrazolyl acetato, have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that compound 1 displays double one-dimensional chains, whereas 2 shows a two-dimensional layer structure via the bridging pypza and oxalate (C2O42–) which may arise from the oxidation of hydroacetic acid through the decomposition and hydrolysis of Hpypza by means of the cleavage of the C–N bond between the carboxylate group and the pyrazolyl ring. Compounds 1 and 2 show three-dimensional networks by hydrogen bonding interactions. Furthermore, the luminescence properties of 1 and 2 have also been investigated at room temperature in the solid state.

AbstractTwo mercury(II) complexes containing imidazolidine-2-thione (Imt) and thiocyanate or cyanide ligands, [Hg(Imt)2(SCN)2] (1) and [Hg(Imt)2(CN)2].Hg(CN)2(2), have been prepared and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. In compound1, the mercury atom is located on a two-fold rotation axis and is coordinated to two thione sulfur atoms of imidazolidine-2-thione (Imt) and to two sulfur atoms of thiocyanate in a distorted tetrahedral mode with the S-Hg-S bond angles in the range of 98.96(3)–148.65(6)°. In2, the mercury atom is hexa-coordinated having a distorted octahedral geometry composed of two cyanide C atoms [Hg-C=2.055(5) Å] and four weakly bound thione S atoms of imidazolidine-2-thione (Imt) [Hg-S=3.1301(13) and 3.1280(13) Å]. One free Hg(CN)2molecule is also present in the crystal. In both complexes, the molecular structure is stabilized by N-H…N and N-H…S hydrogen bonding interactions.

X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) offer a new avenue to the structural probing of complex materials, including biomolecules. Delivery of precious sample to the XFEL beam is a key consideration, as the sample of interest must be serially replaced after each destructive pulse. The fixed-target approach to sample delivery involves depositing samples on a thin-film support and subsequent serial introductionviaa translating stage. Some classes of biological materials, including two-dimensional protein crystals, must be introduced on fixed-target supports, as they require a flat surface to prevent sample wrinkling. A series of wafer and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)-style grid supports constructed of low-Zplastic have been custom-designed and produced. Aluminium TEM grid holders were engineered, capable of delivering up to 20 different conventional or plastic TEM grids using fixed-target stages available at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). As proof-of-principle, X-ray diffraction has been demonstrated from two-dimensional crystals of bacteriorhodopsin and three-dimensional crystals of anthrax toxin protective antigen mounted on these supports at the LCLS. The benefits and limitations of these low-Zfixed-target supports are discussed; it is the authors' belief that they represent a viable and efficient alternative to previously reported fixed-target supports for conducting diffraction studies with XFELs.

Coordination polymers constructed from conjugated organic ligands and metal ions with a d 10 electronic configuration exhibit intriguing properties for chemical sensing and photochemistry. A ZnII-based coordination polymer, namely poly[aqua(μ6-biphenyl-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarboxylato)(μ2-4,4′-bipyridine)dizinc(II)], [Zn2(C16H6O8)(C10H8N2)(H2O)2] n or [Zn2(m,m-bpta)(4,4′-bipy)(H2O)2] n , was synthesized from a mixture of biphenyl-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarboxylic acid [H4(m,m-bpta)], 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) and Zn(NO3)2·6H2O under solvothermal conditions. The title complex has been structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction analysis, and features a μ6-coordination mode. The ZnII ions adopt square-pyramidal geometries and are bridged by two syn–syn carboxylate groups to form [Zn2(COO)2] secondary buildding units (SBUs). The SBUs are crosslinked by (m,m-bpta)4− ligands to produce a two-dimensional grid-like layer that exhibits a stair-like structure along the a axis. Adjacent layers are linked by 4,4′-bipy ligands to form a three-dimensional network with a {44.610.8}{44.62} topology. In the solid state, the complex displays a strong photoluminescence and an excellent solvent stability. In addition, the luminescence sensing results indicate a highly selective and sensitive sensing for Fe3+ ions.
