RESUMO
The reactions of ligand N'-[(pyridin-2-yl)methylene]pyrazine-2-carbohydrazide (ppcd) with different copper salts (1, acetate; 2, perchlorate; 3, sulfate) in MeOH could afford one acetate-bridge tetranuclear discrete [Cu2(ppcd)(ac)2(H2O)(OH)]2·H2O (1), one-dimensional (1D) chiral chain [Cu(ppcd)]ClO4 (2), and a 1D-decker complex of a trinuclear copper(II) subunit, Cu3(ppcd)2(H2O)4(SO4)2 (3). Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed that conformation isomerism of the ppcd ligand was associated with the configuration of -N-N- (trans or cis) and could induce the versatile coordination mode in the presence of different anions. The 1D chiral chain was interestingly obtained from the achiral rigid ligand in complex 2. Magnetic studies indicated that the magnitude of the antiferromagnetic coupling can be tuned because of the configuration isomerism [compound 1 is practically diamagnetic at room temperature (J ≈ -1000 cm(-1)), with a strong antiferromagnetic one (J = -255.4 cm(-1)) for 2 in the 1D uniform chain and an antiferromagnetic one (J = -123.6 cm(-1)) for 3 within the trinuclear copper subunit].
RESUMO
It is urgent to develop novel technologies to convert carbon dioxide to graphene. In this work, a bubble-mediated approach via a chemical reaction between carbon dioxide gas and magnesium melt to fabricate a few-layer graphene was illustrated. The morphology and defects of graphene can be regulated by manipulating the melt temperature. The preparation of graphene at 720 °C exhibited an excellent quality of surface and graphitization degree. The high-quality few-layer graphene can be grown under the combined effect of carbon dioxide bubbles and in-situ grown MgO. This preparation method possesses the advantages of high efficiency, low cost, and environmental protection, which may provide a new strategy for the recovery and reuse of greenhouse gases.
