[Cu(i)(bpp)]BF4: the first extended coordination network prepared solvothermally in an ionic liquid solvent

Abstract

Use of an ionic liquid [bmim][BF4] (bmim = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) as solvent has resulted in the first extended coordination structure, the two-dimensional network [Cu(bpp)]BF4 [bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane], produced via a solvothermal route.

Sonochemical Synthesis and Characterization of Ni(C4H6N2)6(PF6)2, Fe(C4H6N2)6(BF4)2, and Ni(C4H6N2)6(BF4)2 in 1‐Butyl‐3‐methylimidazole with Hexafluorophosphate and Tetrafluoroborate

“…The precursors in all these cases are the corresponding carbonyl complexes [Fe(CO) 5 and Ni(CO) 4 ], which are not soluble in (BMI + )(PF 6 -) and (BMI + )(BF 4 -) ionic liquids. It is well known that pentacarbonyliron and tetracarbonylnickel yield amorphous iron and amorphous nickel when sonicated in decalin (or any other nonvolatile organic solvent) under argon.…”

“…It is well known that pentacarbonyliron and tetracarbonylnickel yield amorphous iron and amorphous nickel when sonicated in decalin (or any other nonvolatile organic solvent) under argon. [7a,7b] On the other hand, the decomposition of Fe(CO) 5 and Ni(CO) 4 in decalin under oxygen yields amorphous metal oxides. [8] The sonochemical decomposition of these carbonyl complexes in (BMI + )(PF 6 -) and (BMI + )(BF 4 -) form crystalline products.…”

“…[2][3][4][5] Recently, we have presented a report on the inorganic sonochemical synthesis of a Fe II (1-methylimidazole) 6 (PF 6 ) 2 in (BMI) + (PF 6 ) -ionic liquid solvents. [6] The product was obtained as a result of the sonochemical decomposition of Fe(CO) 5 in (BMI) + (PF 6 ) -. The charge on the Fe II ion in the complex is stabilized by the two PF 6 -anions originating from the ionic liquid.…”

Microwave‐Assisted Synthesis of Single‐Crystalline Tellurium Nanorods and Nanowires in Ionic Liquids

“…[6][7][8][9][10] They also offer fascinating possibilities for fundamental studies of their effects on chemical reactions and synthetic processes. [1][2][3]11] In contrast to their application in organic chemistry, the use of RTILs in inorganic synthesis is still in its infancy. There have been only a few reports on the formation and stabilization, by using RTILs, of hollow TiO 2 microspheres, [12] and nanoparticles of palladium, [13] iridium [14] and platinum [15] that are recyclable catalysts for biphasic hydrogenation.…”

An Unstable Ligand‐Unsupported CuIDimer Stabilized in a Supramolecular Framework

“…These interactions are found in inorganic lattices, polynuclear compounds with bridging ligands [2] or stabilized by electrostatic interactions, [4] and polymeric systems, such as infinite ···Cu-ligand-Cu··· chains with short sideways Cu i ···Cu i interactions. [5] The existence of ligand-bridged Cu i ···Cu i interactions is supported by spectral evidence [6] and has been examined by a series of theoretical calculations, which have sometimes reached different conclusions. [7] However, a recent comprehensive analysis [8] has shown that only a small part of the intermolecular interaction energy is often gained in the ground state from the Cu i ···Cu i interaction, whereas a large component results from Cu i ···ligand interactions, even in the case of ligand-unsupported Cu i ···Cu i species.…”
