Assembly of three coordination polymers from glycolate ligands: syntheses, crystal structures, and thermal properties

Thermal behavior of glycolic acid, sodium glycolate and its compounds with some bivalent transition metal ions in the solid state

“…Several studies involving the synthesis, crystal structures, thermal decomposition of metal glycolate (C 2 H 3 O 3 -), as well as the use of these compounds as precursors in other syntheses have been described. These researches reported a structural study of the orthorhombic tris-glycolates of lanthanum (III) and gadolinium (III) [3]; complexing the trivalent Am, Cm and Bk ions by glycolate [4]; manganese (II)/(III) glycolates; preparation, X-ray crystallographic study and application in radical cycloaddition reactions [5]; synthesis and structure of two cerium complexes with mixed-ligands oxalate and glycolate [6]; zinc glycolate: a precursor to ZnO [7]; synthesis of MWCNT/nickel glycolate polymer core-shell nanostructures and their nonenzymatic electrocatalytic activity toward glucose [8]; thermal decomposition and spectroscopic investigation of a new aqueous glycolato(-peroxo) Ti(IV) solution-gel precursor [9]; and assembly of three coordination polymers from glycolate ligands: synthesis, crystal structures and thermal properties [10].…”
