By using a neutral inner-salt-type dicarboxylate as coligand, a novel two-dimensional (2D) manganese(II) coordination polymer, [Mn(L)(N(3))]ClO(4) x 1/2 H(2)O (L = 1,3-bis(3-carboxylatopyridinium)propane), was synthesized, and characterized by X-ray crystallography and magnetic measurements. The compound contains uniform Mn(II) chains with simultaneous azide and carboxylate bridges between adja...

Herein, we report a bulky variant of bis-benzimidazole carboxylate ligand. The five-position the benzimidazole groups were substituted with tertiary butyl intention preventing bis-ligation and oligomerization, as was observed in other studies using similar ligands. Unfortunately, even bulkier substituents, new ligand still formed bis-ligated structure. Although did not afford desired mono-ligat...

Intercalation of organic anions into 2D materials can enable exfoliation, improve dispersion stability, increase surface area, and provide useful functional groups. In layered metal hydroxides, intercalation bulk structures is commonly achieved by cumbersome typically incomplete anion exchange reactions. contrast, here, a series carboxylate-intercalated zinc hydroxides (LZH-R) are synthesized d...

Three novel complexes of formula [Co(5)(OH)(2)(cht)(2)(H(2)O)(10)](n) x 2nH(2)O (1) (H(4)cht = cyclohexane-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid), [Zn(2)(cht)(H(2)O)(3)](n) x nH(2)O (2), and [Cd(2)(cht)(H(2)O)(5)](n) x 2nH(2)O (3) were synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction of cyclohexane-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid in the presence of sodium hydroxide with Co(NO(3))(2) x 6H(2)O, Zn(NO(3))(2) x 6H(2)O, ...

this  article  provides  an  overview  on  preparation,  design,  crystal structure  and  properties  of  some  metal-organic  frameworks  of carboxylate coordination polymers mixed with pyridine-functionality linkers  prepared  in  our  laboratory.  the  article  covers  coordination polymers  in  two-  and  three-dimensional  supramolecular architectures. the reported coordination polymers ex...

When disengaged interactions within a receptor are turned on by its guest, these intrahost interactions will contribute to the overall binding energy. Although such receptors are common in biology, their synthetic mimics are rare and difficult to design. By engineering conflictory requirements between intrareceptor electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, we enabled complementary guests to e...

Boron tris(trifluoroacetate) is identified as the first effective catalyst for the homoallyl- and homocrotylboration of aldehydes by cyclopropylcarbinylboronates. NMR spectroscopic studies and theoretical calculations of key intermediates and transition states both suggest that a ligand-exchange mechanism, akin to our previously reported PhBCl2-promoted homoallylations, is operative. Our experi...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(20)H(18)O(8), contains two mol-ecules with small geometric differences. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings are 62.94 (12) and 59.99 (12)°. The dihedral angles between the carboxylate groups in the 2- and 3-positions are 81.72 (13) and 65.54 (15)°, respectively. However, the dihedral angles between the carboxylate groups in the 3' and 4'-po...

In the rat, shikimate was metabolized and excreted as hippurate, hexahydrohippurate, 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrohippurate, t-3,t-4-dihydroxycyclohexane-r-1-carboxylate and c-3,t-4-dihydroxycyclophexane-r-1-carboxylate, conjugates of catechol and CO2. The metabolism was entirely dependent on various initial microbial transformations in the gut, metabolite formation being suppressed in animals pretreated ...
