Solid state synthesis of coordination compounds from basic metal salts

Clean and Efficient Synthesis Using Mechanochemistry: Coordination Polymers, Metal-Organic Frameworks and Metallodrugs

“…47 Our group has focused on the mechanochemical reactivity of metal oxides which are attractive as precursors because they are readily available, inexpensive and generate water as the only reaction byproduct. 48 Using fumaric acid (H 2 fum) as a simple model ligand bearing a chemical functionality (double bond), we demonstrated 48 that a brief LAG procedure involving zinc oxide can provide different zinc fumarate polymers in quantitative yields (Figure 5a).…”

Two Consecutive Magneto-Structural Gas-Solid Transformations with Single-Crystal Retention in Non-Porous Molecular Materials

“…Importantly, this release of HCl occurs spontaneously, i.e. there is no need of vacuum, heat or additional stimuli to promote the loose of HCl, [38,[40][41][42][43][44] although it is a slow process that can take several weeks to be complete; nevertheless, the release can be accelerated by heating. This process is reversible; thus, upon exposing 3 to HCl vapors, compound 2 is also obtained.…”

“…Despite the many structural modifications that occur upon the adsorption of the gas molecules, we have been able to isolate a single-crystal and solve the structure by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, revealing that 2 is composed by distorted tetrahedral [CuCl4] 2-anions and [imH2] + cations, resulting in a nonporous molecular material of formula (imH2)2[CuCl4], also accessible through conventional synthetic routes. [38] Three molecules of HCl are incorporated to the crystal structure of 1 whereas one imidazole ligand is released as amorphous imidazolium chloride ( Figure S1). The chemisorption process involves the protonation of one imidazolate and (Figure 2c).…”

Internal Dynamics of the Ferroelectric (C3N2H5)5Bi2Cl11 Studied by 1H NMR and IINS Methods

“…Bell, H.C. Freeman, (Craven et al, 1977) given at 150 K for imidazole (abbreviation Im) and for the sample of ICB studied at room temperature together with the structure optimisation data (Holderna- Natkaniec,2006). On the basis of the X-ray and neutron diffraction data (Piecha et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2005;Adams et al,2008;Levasseur et.al., 1991;Zhang et al, 2005;Valle&Ettorare ,1997) it can be concluded that imidazolium cation actually does not have the mm2 symmetry. However, the five-membered ring of imidazole skeleton is planar, but the hydrogen atoms lay more than 0.16 Å out-of-plane of the heterocyclic ring system, while both nitrogen atoms are linked to hydrogen atoms.…”
