Five new cobalt(ii) coordination architectures, {[Co(L)2(H2O)2]·2H2O·2NO3}n (), {[Co(L)(ppda)]·2H2O}n (), {[Co2(L)(ppda)2]2·H2O}n (), {[Co(L)(nba)]·5H2O}n (), and {[Co(L)(oba)]2·3H2O}n (), have been constructed from the rigid ligand L [L = 2,8-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)dibenzofuran] and different flexible carboxylic acid ligands [H2ppda = 4,4'-(perfluoropropane-2,2-diyl)dibenzoic acid, H2nba = 4,4'-a...

In the title compound, (C(8)H(20)N)[Mn(C(22)H(18)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)(2)][Fe(CN)(6)]·2CH(3)OH·2C(2)H(5)OH or [NEt(4)][Mn(3-Meosalophen)(H(2)O)(2)](2)[Fe(CN)(6)]·2CH(3)OH·2C(2)H(5)OH, the asymmetric unit consists of one half of an [NEt(4)](+) cation disordered around a twofold axis, the [Mn(3-Meosalophen)(H(2)O)(2)](+) coordination cation, one half of a C(2) symmetric [Fe(CN)(6)](3-) anion and disor...

The coordination number of Li(+) in acetonitrile solutions was determined by directly measuring the rotational times of solvent molecules bound and unbound to it. The CN stretch of the Li(+) bound and unbound acetonitrile molecules in the same solution has distinct vibrational frequencies (2276 cm(-1) vs 2254 cm(-1)). The frequency difference allows the rotation of each type of acetonitrile mol...

We report the structural characterization of vanadyl acetylacetonate in imidazolium room temperature ionic liquids--bbimNTf(2), bmimNTf(2), C(3)OmimNTf(2), bm(2)imNTf(2), bmimPF(6), bmimOTf, bmimBF(4), bmimMeCO(2), bmimMeSO(4), bmimMe(2)PO(4) and bmimN(CN)(2)--and organic solvents. The complex was characterized by visible electronic (Vis) and EPR spectroscopies. VO(acac)(2) shows solvatochromis...

109Ag chemical shift measurements of 0.02 up to 3 molar solutions of AgNOa, AgCl, and AgBr in solvent mixtures of H2O (W) and ethylamine (ea) were performed. The extremely long relaxation times T\ and T2 were determined with new techniques. The Ag+-ion in solvent mixtures of W and ea shows a strongly selective solvation by ea. The 109Ag chemical shift of the solvate complex [Ag ea2]+ surrounded...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn(CH(3)CN)(C(8)H(6)N(4))(2)(H(2)O)][Mn(C(8)H(6)N(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](ClO(4))(4)·2H(2)O, contains two distinct cationic Mn(II) complexes, four perchlorate anions and two solvent water mol-ecules. In the two complexes, both Mn(II) ions are six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral environment, but one Mn ion has a cis-N(5)O coordination geometry defined...

The title coordination polymer, {[Cd(C8H4O4)(C14H14N4)]·C3H7NO} n , was synthesized by solvothermal reaction of metallic cadmium with the semi-rigid neutral ligand 1,4-bis-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)meth-yl]benzene (bix) and the V-shaped benzene-1,3-di-carb-oxy-lic acid (m-H2bdc). The structure exhibits a pseudo-C-centring which is almost fulfilled by the polymeric metal complex but not by the solvent ...

During cellulose dissolution in non-derivatizing solvents, the interand intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the polymer are deconstructed. This occurs either by hydrogen bond formation between one or more components of the solvent systems and the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose or by coordination bond formation between the metal ion present in the medium and the hydroxyl group of cellulose molecu...

The preparation of copper(II) one-dimensional MOFs using an eco-efficient method is reported here. This method is based exclusively on using supercritical CO2 as a solvent, without the addition of any other additive or co-solvent. Neutral acetylacetonate copper complexes and two linear linkers, namely, the bidentate 4,4'-bipyridine and 4,4'-trimethylenedipyridine molecules, were reacted under c...
