The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Nd(C(9)H(3)O(6))(C(2)H(6)OS)(2)](n), contains one Nd(3+) ion, one benzene-1,3,5-tricarb-oxy-lic ligand and two coordinating dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecules. The Nd(3+) ion is coordinated by six O atoms from four carboxyl-ate groups of the benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxyl-ate ligands and two O atoms from two dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecules. The metal-organic clus...

The synthesis of an NbO-type metal-organic framework was achieved by design: o-Br-BDC (BDC = benzenedicarboxylate) was used to direct the formation of Cu2(CO2)4 paddle wheel units at 90 degrees to each other and thus yield the target network. The compound was formulated as Cu2[o-Br-BDC]2(H2O)2.(DMF)8(H2O)2 (MOF-101) and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction [cubic, space group Imm (...

In the title compound, {[Cu(C(8)F(4)O(4))(CH(3)OH)]·CH(3)OH}(n), two Cu(II) atoms are bridged by four carboxyl-ate groups, forming the well known paddle-wheel secondary building unit (SBU) with axial methanol ligands. In each ligand, the dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the two carboxyl-ate groups are 80.43 (17) and 62.5 (4)°. Within each SBU, the four carboxyl-ate groups come from ...

In the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(7)H(5)O(2))(4)(C(10)H(9)N)(2)], the paddle-wheel-type dinuclear complex mol-ecule contains four bridging benzoate groups and two terminal 3-methyl-quinoline ligands. The asymmetric unit contains one and a half mol-ecules with a total of three independent Cu atoms; there is an inversion center at the mid-point of the Cu⋯Cu bond in one molecule. The octa-hedral coo...

In the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(7)H(5)O(2))(4)(C(10)H(9)N)(2)], the paddle-wheel-type dinuclear complex is constructed by four bridging benzoate groups and two terminal 6-methyl-quinoline ligands. The asymmetric unit contains one-half of the whole mol-ecule, and there is an inversion center at the mid-point of the Cu⋯Cu bond. The octa-hedral coordination of each Cu atom, with four O atoms in th...

The title compound [Cu(2)(C(6)H(3)BrNO(2))(4)](n), forms sheets in the bc plane. The structure features the dinuclear paddle-wheel cage motif common to copper(II) carboxyl-ates. The polymeric structure is achieved through bridging between binuclear units by the pyridyl donors of two of the four carboxyl-ates of the cage. Each cage engages in axial bonding at each copper atom to a pyridyl nitro-...

In the centrosymmetric binuclear title compound, [Cu(2)(C(7)H(5)O(2))(4)(C(7)H(9)N)(2)], the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by four O atoms from benzoate anions and one N atom from a dimethyl-pyridine ligand. A paddle-wheel-like dimer is formed by two Cu(II) ions and four benzoate anions with two 3,5-dimethyl-pyridine ligands at the axial position of the Cu(II) ions. The dihedral angle between the ...

The proof of principle of the Laser Ion Source Trap (LIST) coupled to a gas cell catcher system has been demonstrated at the Leuven Isotope Separator On-Line (LISOL). The experiments were carried out by using the modified gas cell-based laser ion source and the SextuPole Ion Guide (SPIG). Element selective resonance laser ionization of neutral atoms was taking place inside the cold jet expandin...
