RESUMEN
Synthesis and characterization of two novel copper ß-diketone complexes, where halogen bonds play a pivotal role in shaping their multifaceted structural landscape, have been done in the present study. This study employs X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and infrared (IR) spectroscopy to investigate two copper ß-diketone complexes, [Cu(L1)2(ttfa)2]·2CH3OH (1) and [Cu(L1)(dfpb)2] (2), where Httfa is 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(thiophen-2-yl)butan-3,1-dione and Hdfpb is 4,4-difluoro-1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione. Complex 1 displays a halogen bond, which contributes to its uniqueness. The coordination sphere around the copper atoms was found to be octahedral for complex 1 and pyramid with a square base for complex 2. The study also extensively discusses the interactions present in these complexes. Hirshfeld surface analysis was employed to gain a more detailed understanding of these interactions, and the results showed that hydrogen-bond interactions contributed above 30% of the whole surface area in both complexes. Additionally, the halogen bond in complex 1 was found to contribute approximately 8% of the surface. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the structural properties and interactions of copper ß-diketone complexes, which could have potential applications in various fields.
RESUMEN
A sonochemical method was used to synthesize nano-rods of a novel cadmium(II) metal-organic coordination polymer, [Cd(p-2yeinh)(NO2)]n (1) (p-2yeinhâ¯=â¯pyridin-2-yl ethylidene-isonicotinohydrazide). The effect of the synthesis parameters such as time, concentrations and irradiation power has been studied and optimized. It was shown that the thickness of rods has changed from 27â¯nm to 45â¯nm. The compounds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XPRD), and single crystal X-ray analysis. The X-ray structure analysis revealed that the Cd(II) atom is coordinated by one oxygen and three nitrogen atoms from two p-2yeinh ligands and two oxygen atoms of single nitrite anion with a CuN3O3 donor set with distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal taking the form of a one-dimensional zig-zag polymer. The adjacent chains connected by π-π of adjacent aromatic rings of p-2yeinh and other weak interactions. Consequently, the weak interactions also allow the 1D zig-zag structure to form a 3D metal-organic coordination polymer. CdO nanoparticles were prepared by thermolysis of compound 1 at 180⯰C with oleic acid as a surfactant. The average diameter of the nanoparticles was estimated by XPRD to be 23â¯nm. The morphology and size of the prepared CdO nanoparticles were further studied using SEM.
RESUMEN
A sonochemical method by using various time and concentrations of initial reagents and power of irradiation, was used to synthesize nano-card house of a new copper(II) metal-organic coordination system, {[Cu2(p-2yeinh)2Cl2]·(H2O)}n (1), where p-2yeinh=pyridin-2-yl ethylidene-isonicotinohydrazide. The compound was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XPRD), and single crystal X-ray analysis. The X-ray structure revealed that the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by one oxygen and three nitrogen atoms from two p-2yeinh ligands and one chloride anion with a CuN3OCl donor set with square pyramid geometry. This arrangement produces a large quadric nuclear square ring composed of four square pyramid Cu(II) moieties linked together by two p-2yeinh units (M4L4). The adjacent frameworks connected by strong hydrogen bonding interactions of methanol molecules that interact together and with the rings and π-π interactions of adjacent aromatic rings of p-2yeinh and other weak interactions. Consequently, the labile interactions also allow the discrete structure to form a 3D metal-organic coordination network. CuO nanoparticles were obtained by thermolysis of 1 at 180°C with oleic acid as a surfactant. The average diameter of the nanoparticles was estimated by XPRD to be 38nm. The morphology and size of the prepared CuO nanoparticles were further studied using SEM.
