A series of new 2 2'-bipyridine/1 2-dithiolate transition metal complexes has been synthesised and characterised As 1,2-dithiolate ligands 1,2 dithiooxalate (dto) and 1 2-dithiosquarate (dtsq) were used It follows from the IR spectra that the multidentate dithiolate ligands coordinate exclusively via their sulfur atoms forming an MN2S2 coordination sphere The central metal ions (M) are Cu2+ Ni2+ Pd2+ Pt2+, and Zn2+ The complex [Cu-II(bpy)(dto)] could be studied by EPR spectroscopy and was measured as powder diamagnetically diluted in the isostructural [Ni-II(bpy)(dto)] host structure The spin density contribution calculated from the experimental parameters is compared with the electronic situation in the frontier orbitals namely in the semi occupied SOMO of the copper complex derived from quantum chemical calculations on different levels (EHT and DFT)
Narrow channels with polar walls are the structural and functional features responsible for the high capacity of a zinc-organic framework based on an imidazolate-amide-imidate ligand for the uptake of H2 and CO2 (see structure: orange Zn, blue N, red O, dark gray C, light gray H). The rigid and stable chelating ligand was synthesized in situ by partial hydrolysis of a dicyanoimidazole compound.
The iron-containing ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroferrate(III) [Bmim][FeCl4] has been used as a building block in the synthesis of transparent, ion-conducting, and paramagnetic ionogels. UV/Vis spectroscopy shows that the coordination around the Fe(III) ion does slightly change upon incorporation of the IL into PMMA. The thermal stability of the PMMA increases significantly with IL incorporation. In particular, the onset weight loss observed at ca. 265 degrees C for pure PMMA is completely suppressed. The ionic conductivity shows a strong temperature dependence and increases with increasing IL weight fractions. The magnetic properties are similar to those reported for the pure IL and are not affected by the incorporation into the PMMA matrix. The resulting ionogel is thus an interesting prototype for soft, flexible, and transparent materials combining the mechanical properties of the matrix with the functionality of the metal-containing IL, such as magnetism.
