RESUMEN
Two Ni-substituted polyoxometalates (NiSPs), [Ni6(Py)6(H2O)5(µ3-OH)3(PW9O34)]2·10H2O (1), [Ni7(Py)6(Im)(H2O)5O(WO4)(µ3-OH)3(H2PW9O34)]·3H2O (2) (Py = pyridine, Im = imidazole), were successfully hydrothermally synthesized. Compounds 1 and 2 have significantly different configurations by introducing different amounts of imidazole ligands. For compound 1, two malposed {Ni6(Py)6PW9} units that are face to face are bridged by two Ni-O-W bonds to constitute an isolated dimeric structure. Differently, the {Ni7(Py)6(Im)PW9}2 dimer in compound 2 connects with four adjacent dimers by four {WO4} groups in an interesting two-dimensional (2-D) arrangement. The magnetism of compounds 1 and 2 was studied, and magnetic test results demonstrated that both compounds have ferromagnetic interactions between the nickel centers. Meanwhile, the third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) measurements indicated that compound 1 can serve as potential nonlinear optical materials.
RESUMEN
Two captivating {P4Mo6}-based compounds, formulated as (H2bbi)2{[Co2(bbi)][Co2.33(H2O)4][H9.33CoP8Mo12O62]}·4H2O (1) and (H2bbi){[Zn(Hbbi)]2[Zn0.75(bbi)][K2Zn(H2O)4][H8.5ZnP8Mo12O62]} (2) [bbi = 1,1'-(1,4-butanediyl)bis(imidazole)], were successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Structural analysis demonstrates that compounds 1 and 2 are constructed from hourglass-shaped structures [M(P4Mo6O31)2]n- (M = Co, Zn), which are all made up of molybdophosphates and one transition metal ion as the central connecting node. Compounds 1 and 2 feature three-dimensional (3D) frameworks, which are all connected to form a 3D structure by metal ions and bbi ligands. More interestingly, compound 1 exhibits higher catalytic activity than 2 in CO2 photoreduction due to the suitable energy band structure of Co species in {P4Mo6} clusters. The CO yield was 3261 µmol g-1 with high selectivity in 8 h for compound 1 in photocatalytic CO2 reduction, which is highly promising in the photocatalytic field. Additionally, the photoluminescence properties of 2 were investigated.
RESUMEN
Two new polyoxometalate (POM)-based hybrid compounds modified by a Schiff base, [Fe(DAPSC)(H2 O)2 ]2 [HPMo2 V Mo10 VI O40 ] â 5H2 O (1) and [Fe(DAPSC)(H2 O)]2 [HPV3 IV Mo4 V Mo7 VI O42 ] â 6H2 O (2), (DAPSC=2,6-diacetylpyridine bis-(semicarbazone)), have been successfully constructed from typical Keggin POMs, iron ions, and DAPSC ligands under hydrothermal condition. Structural analysis demonstrates that the Fe-Schiff base ligand units are free from polyacid anions in compound 1. While in compound 2, the Fe-Schiff base ligand units are bridged with polyacid anions via Fe-O bonds to emerge a stable double-supported skeleton. Noticeably, owing to the introduction of vanadium in H5 PMo10 V2 O40 â 32.5H2 O, a divanadium-capped configuration is shaped in compound 2. Besides, the third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of two compounds were explored. It should be noted that both compounds 1 and 2 have two-photon absorption properties, which indicates that the two compounds are potential nonlinear optical materials.
RESUMEN
Temperature usually occupies a crucial position in the construction of chiral compounds. By controlling the temperature of the reaction system, chiral and non-chiral compounds can be designed and synthesized. Given the above, three new chiral and non-chiral compounds based on copper(ii) monosubstituted polyoxoanions and Cu(en) complexes (en = ethylenediamine), d/l-[Cu(H2O)(en)2]2{[Cu(H2O)2(en)][SiCuW11O39]}·5H2O (1, d-1 and l-1) and [Cu(H2O)(en)2]{[Cu(en)2]2[SiCuW11O39]}·2.5H2O (2), were successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The main synthesis conditions of compound 1 (d-1 and l-1) and compound 2 are the same, however, the only difference is that the reaction temperatures are 80 °C and 140 °C, respectively. What's more, compounds 1 and 2 can form a 1D chiral chain by Cu-O and W/Cu-O-W/Cu bonds, respectively, and further obtain a 3D-supramolecular framework through hydrogen bonding interaction. Meanwhile, due to the asymmetry of chiral compound 1, optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) was used to investigate the second-order nonlinear optical effect and it was found that the observed SHG efficiency of compound 1 is 0.3 times that of urea. To further investigate the chiral properties, d-1 and l-1 were used in the electrochemical enantioselective sensing of d-/l-tartaric acid (d-/l-tart) molecules, respectively, which demonstrates that d-1 and l-1 have a good application prospect in sensing chiral substances.
RESUMEN
Two isomorphic heterometallic 3d-4f cluster-based materials, formulated [Gd8Cr4(IN)18(µ3-O)2(µ3-OH)6(µ4-O)4(H2O)10]·13H2O (1) and [Tb8Cr4(IN)18(µ3-O)2(µ3-OH)6(µ4-O)4(H2O)10]·13H2O (2) (abbreviation: {Ln8Cr4}: Ln = Gd3+ (1); Tb3+ (2); HIN = isonicotinic acid), were achieved by hydro-/solvothermal method through using the ligand HIN. X-ray diffraction analysis illustrates eight lanthanide ions (Ln = Gd3+, Tb3+) and four transition-metal ions (Cr3+) of {Ln8Cr4} were constructed from two classical "drum-like" {Ln4Cr2} structures associated by organic ligands HIN, displaying a one-dimensional wave chain structure, which is rare. The magnetic properties of {Gd8Cr4} were inspected and showed the existence of antiferromagnetic coupling interactions between contiguous metal ions. On top of this, the magnetic entropy change of ΔS m can attain 23.40 J kg-1 K-1 (44.90 mJ cm-3 K-1) at about 3 K and ΔH = 7 T. Besides, fluorescence measurements of {Tb8Cr4} display typical characteristic Tb-based luminescence.
