Crystal Structure, Thermal and Magnetic Behavior of Inorganic–Organic Hybrid [VIV 4O10 VV 2O4] (C6H14N2)·H2O Polymeric Framework

Summary The inorganic–organic hybrid [V^IV ₄O₁₀V^V ₂O₄] (C₆H₁₄N₂)·H₂O polymeric framework was prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions from a mixture of DABCO and V₂O₅ in deionized water with a 1:1:450 mole ratio, at neutral pH. The reaction was carried out at 180 °C for 3 days under autogenous pressure yielding phase pure crystals product. The crystal structure was studied using both powder and single crystal X-ray crystallography, revealing the structure to be of the ({UuDd}:T*)α′ type in the SP+T class and Z-T subclass. The presence of the organic cation was confirmed by FT-IR spectrum and chemical composition analysis. The structure was thermally stable up to over 400 °C, and showed ferromagnetic character at room temperature with the maximum molar susceptibility of 8.26 × 10⁻³ emu/mol⁻¹ at zero applied field.     

Hydrothermal Crystal Growth,Structures and Thermal Properties of Co(II)-4,4′-bipyridine-Based Coordination Polymeric Materials

Hydrothermal synthetic parameters were studied and optimized for the preparation of new coordination polymeric materials based on Co(II) and 4,4′-bipy. A new polymeric compound, [Co₂(H₂O)₂(OH)₂(4,4′-bipy)₈](NO₃)₂·2(4,4′-bipy) 10(H₂O) (1), was prepared and structurally characterized by single crystal experiment. The framework of (1) is made up of two different one-dimensional substructures, i.e., the neutral chain A and positively charged chain B, both of which share the same nodes and node linkers. This is rarely found, especially from a one-pot crystal growth technique. Two other crystals were also identified, i.e., [Co(SO₄)(H₂O)₃(4,4′-bipy)]·2(H₂O), and K₂Co(H₂O)₆(SO₄)₂. The optimization of synthetic parameters apparently favors the formation of different polymeric structures, and this can be experimentally fine tuned. The influences of these parameters on phase formation, purity and crystal growth are discussed. The complicated thermogravimetric property of the new compound is also reported.
