Abstract

:
A one-dimensional chain-type dicopper(II) coordination polymer with 1,4-di(4-pyridyl)-benzene (dpybz), [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(dpybz)] (1), is synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and CHN elemental analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction confirms that the one-dimensional chains of 1 are assembled with CH···π interactions at the dpybz moieties to form a brick-like porous network structure. Magnetic susceptibility measurement and broken-symmetry density functional theory (BS-DFT) calculations indicate that (i) antiferromagnetic interactions are present between two copper ions through the bridging carboxylate ligands; the observed exchange integral value (J) of 1 is −175.3 cm−1, which is consistent with the DFT-calculated value for 1 (−174.5 cm−1), and (ii) the magnetic interaction between two Cu2 units through the dpybz ligand is negligible. N2 adsorption measurements indicate that the porous structure of 1 is retained even after evacuation of the guest solvents from the pores of 1, and 1 adsorbs N2 molecules into its pores (the Langmuir surface area of 1 is estimated as 538.0 m2/g).

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

A paddlewheel-type dicopper (Cu2) unit bridged by four carboxylate (O2C-R) ligands, [Cu2(O2C-R)4], is well known as an important molecular skeleton in the area of coordination chemistry [1,2,3,4], because it has been widely utilized as a secondary building block (SBU) for supra-molecular cages [5], coordination polymers (CPs) [6,7] and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) [8,9]. Current synthetic strategies for [Cu2(O2C-R)4] SBU-based CPs and MOFs involve linking the Cu2 units though organic mono- or poly-carboxylate and diimine ligands (N~N) at the equatorial and axial positions of the Cu2 units, respectively [10,11]. For example, in 1995, Mikuriya et al. reported the synthesis and characterization of one-dimensional CPs [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(N~N)], in which [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] SBUs were linked by 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), pyrazine (pyz), and 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy) ligands [12]. These CPs are robust in air and occur in the crystalline state. The magnetic measurement of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(pyz)] reveals an antiferromagnetic interaction (J = −169.5 cm−1, g = 2.09) between two Cu ions through four bridging carboxylate ligands. Following this study, a one-dimensional CP, [Cu2(O2C-Ph)4(pyz)], was reported by Mori, Mikuriya, and Handa in 1999 [13]. In this CP, two phenyl groups of neighboring chains are stacked by non-covalent π–π stacking interactions to give one-dimensional uniform channels, which are suitable for N2 gas adsorption. The channel structure in the CP is maintained, even after removal of the CH3CN crystallization solvent molecules from the crystal by drying the sample under vacuum. Since then, although there have been many reports on the synthesis and characterization of one-dimensional CPs, DABCO, pyz, bpy and their derivative linker ligands have been commonly used in combination with paddlewheel-type dicopper complexes [14,15,16]. Our research is now being directed to developing the chemistry of CPs with different types of linker ligands having enlarged molecular sizes with extended π-systems, and to investigating their (self-assembled) geometries, electronic structures and functional properties [17].
In this paper, we described the synthesis, characterization, and magnetic and gas-adsorption properties of one-dimensional Cu2 CPs with 1,4-di(4-pyridyl)benzene (dpybz; see Figure 1) as an extended N~N linker ligand, [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(dpybz)] (1). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a one-dimensional Cu2 CP with the dpybz ligand. Interestingly, one-dimensional chains of 1 were assembled and stabilized with electrostatic CH–π interactions at the dpybz moieties; no such interaction was confirmed for CPs with pyz and bpy linkers. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to give a clear insight into the structural and electronic features affecting the magnetic properties of 1.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Synthesis and Characterization of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(dpybz)] (1)

Complex 1 was synthesized via a room temperature reaction between a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] (see Figure 1a) and a N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution containing an equivalent amount of dpybz in an Erlenmeyer flask. Green crystals of 1 with a yield of 80.0%, which are suitable for single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements, were deposited on the bottom of the flask after leaving the homogeneous reaction solution for 10 days. More detailed synthetic information concerning 1 is given in Section 3.5. Elemental analysis revealed that the crystalline powder of 1, which was obtained after heating at 353 K under vacuum for 3 h, contained no crystallization solvent and was anhydrous. In the infrared spectrum (see Figure S1), a symmetric vibration (νsym) and an asymmetric vibration (νasym) of the bridging carboxylate of 1 were observed at 1418 and 1607 cm−1, respectively, similar to those of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] (νsym = 1418 cm−1, νasym = 1578 cm−1), indicating that 1 possessed the paddlewheel-type Cu2 core as its SBU.

2.2. Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction

Single crystal X-ray diffraction for 1 was measured at 150 K. The crystallographic data of 1 are summarized in Table S1 in the experimental section. The diffraction analysis revealed that 1 crystallized in the monoclinic system with a space group C 2/c. The final refined structural model of 1 shows that an asymmetric unit of 1 contains one Cu2+ ion, two O2C-tBu anions, and one half of a dpybz ligand. This indicates that the crystallographic inversion centers of 1 were located at the midpoints of the paddlewheel-type Cu2 unit and the dpybz ligand. Selected bond distances and angles of 1 are summarized in Table S2 in the Supplementary Materials, and expanded and packing structures of 1 are shown in Figure 2. As shown in Figure 2a, the two Cu ions in 1 were coordinated by four μ-carboxylate and one dpybz ligand. That is, 1 possessed the paddlewheel-type Cu2 core as its SBU, and the dpybz ligand coordinated to the axial sites of the paddlewheel-type Cu2 cores. The Cu···Cu distance in the paddlewheel-type Cu2 units of 1 was 2.5938(6) Å, which was close to the typical Cu···Cu distances of paddlewheel-type Cu2 complexes with analogous pyridyl ligands, such as [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(pyz)] (2.584(2) Å), indicating that no direct Cu–Cu bond is present between two Cu ions in 1 by judging from the similarity in the Cu···Cu distance between [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(pyz)] and 1 [12]. Thus, the primary coordination spheres of two Cu ions in 1 were in pentacoordinated environments with a square pyramidal structure. Expanding the structure of 1 showed an alternating arrangement of paddlewheel-type Cu2 units and dpybz ligands along the Cu···Cu vector, confirming a one-dimensional polymeric (chain) structure of 1. In the dpybz ligand of 1, two pyridyl rings at both ends of dpybz were located in a coplanar arrangement; the dihedral angles defined by the pyridyl rings were 0°, whereas both those defined by pyridyl and benzene rings within the dpybz ligand were 37.15°. The Cu–N bond length in 1 was 2.156(2) Å, which was also comparable to that of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(pyz)] (2.195(8) Å) [12].
As shown in Figure 2c,d, the one-dimensional chains of 1 were assembled to form a brick-like porous network structure. Interestingly, the benzene moieties of dpybz ligands were arranged in a one-dimensional fashion along the c axis to form fourfold CH–π interactions with the upper and lower benzene moieties of dpybz ligands, as shown in Figure 1b. The CH(12)···π (the midpoint of C17 and C18) distance was estimated as 2.781 Å (H(12)···C(17): 2.899 Å, H(12)···C(18): 2.833 Å), which implies the existence of CH–π interactions [18]. Two DMF guest solvent molecules in 1 were disordered and their positions could not be determined. Thus, the PLATON SQUEEZE program was applied to estimate the void volume of 1 and to eliminate the residual electron density in the pores of 1 [19]. The solvent accessible void volume of 1 was estimated as 254.2 Å3 per Cu2 unit, which is nearly the same as the sum of the volumes of two DMF molecules (258 Å3). The void volume percentage of 1 was determined as 22.5%. The channel-like pore diameter of 1 was 5.53 × 5.05 Å2 along the c axis, which is considered to be a preferable for gas adsorption.

2.3. Magnetic Property of 1

For 1, variable-temperature (VT) magnetic susceptibility measurement was performed with a SQUID magnetometer within the temperature range (2–300 K). As a comparison, the VT magnetic susceptibility of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] was also measured. Figure 3 shows the molar magnetic susceptibilities (χM) and effective magnetic moments (μeff) (per Cu2 unit) of 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4]. At 300 K, the χM and μeff of 1 were 0.00143 emu mol−1 and 1.85 μB, respectively. The μeff of 1 was within the typical range for paddlewheel-type Cu2 complexes (1.6~1.9 μB) and slightly larger than that of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] (1.76 μB) [12,13]. When the temperature was decreased from 300 K, the μeff decreased for both complexes, due to the antiferromagnetic interactions between the two Cu ions within the dinuclear molecules. The magnetic data for 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] were simulated using the Bleaney-Bowers equation:
χM = 2[(1 − p)(Ng2μeff2/kT){3 + exp(−2J/kT)}−1 + p(Ng2μeff2/4kT) + Nα]
where N is the Avogadro’s number, g is the spectroscopic splitting factor, β is the Bohr magneton, k is the Boltzmann constant, J is the exchange integral between the copper(II) ions, p is the paramagnetic mononuclear Cu(II) impurity constant, and Nα is the temperature independent paramagnetism (TIP) [20]. The best fitting parameters, where Nα was fixed at 60 × 10−6 cgs emu, are summarized in Table 1. The temperature-dependent profiles of magnetic susceptibilities and moments were well reproduced with the parameters for 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] (Figure 3), without considering the magnetic interaction between the dicopper(II) units. This means that the interaction through the linker ligand dpybz was negligible in 1. A negligible interaction through the axial linker ligand, pyz, was also reported for [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(pyz)] and [Cu2(O2C-Ph)4(pyz)], and the estimated J value of −175.3 cm−1 for 1 was comparable to those for [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(pyz)] (J = −183 cm−1) and [Cu2(O2C-Ph)4(pyz)] (J = −169.5 cm−1) [12,13]. The J value of 1 (−175.3 cm−1) was smaller than that of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] (J = −201.4 cm−1), which was theoretically interpreted using DFT calculations (See Section 2.4).

2.4. Results of Theoretical Calculations

To investigate the thermodynamically favorable spin states, electronic structures, spin density distributions and magnetic properties of 1, broken-symmetry density functional theory (BS-DFT) calculations were performed on model structures of 1, which were obtained from crystal structures of 1. Here, [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] was also calculated for comparison. Single point energy calculations revealed that the singlet spin states of 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] were 0.503 and 0.619 kcal/mol, which were more stable than their triplet spin states, indicating that 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] showed antiferromagnetic coupling between the two magnetic centers in 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4]. In fact, the calculated J values of 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4], which were estimated by an approximate spin-projection (AP) scheme developed by Yamaguchi’s group [21], were −174.5 and −214.2 cm−1, respectively. These are consistent with the experimental values for 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] and are clear evidence of the antiferromagnetic interaction in 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4]. The origin of the antiferromagnetic coupling interactions in 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] were further investigated with respect to the spin density distributions. As shown in Figure 4, the spin density distributions of 1 and [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] in the singlet and triplet spin states are commonly localized on the [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] unit, and the singlet and triplet spin states differ only by the phases of the dx2-y2 orbitals of the Cu ions. Moreover, the spin densities of the dpybz moieties were negligible. The calculated results are summarized: (i) an antiferromagnetic interaction occurred in 1 between unpaired electrons residing in dx2-y2 orbitals of Cu ions via a super-exchange mechanism through four bridging carboxylate ligands, and (ii) the magnetic interaction between two Cu2 units through the dpybz ligand was negligible.
Additionally, the formation of interchain CH–π interactions in the crystal structure of 1 was confirmed by long-range and dispersion corrected density functional theory (LC-DFT-D; B3LYP-D2 functional). Figure S2 shows the calculated models of two dpybz moieties, which were obtained from the crystal structure of 1. The counterpoise method afforded an electrostatic interaction energy of −10.46 kcal/mol (−5.23 kcal/mol per CH–π interaction). This confirmed that two-fold CH–π interactions were formed between two dpybz ligands, and these were stronger than typical CH–π interactions.

2.5. Nitrogen Adsorption Properties

Finally, to evaluate the porosity of 1, the nitrogen adsorption isotherm was measured at 77.4 K. As shown in Figure 5, 1 strongly adsorbed N2 gases at a low relative pressure (P/P0 < 0.2), and an arched adsorption isotherm was obtained. This type of the isotherm plot is frequently observed in physical N2 adsorption of porous materials with micro- and subnano-pores [22] and can be classified as an IUPAC-I type isotherm. At a relative pressure of 0.3, N2 gas was moderately adsorbed on the surface of 1, as with typical CPs and MOFs. The Langmuir and BET surface areas of 1 were estimated as 538.0 and 400.5 m2/g, respectively, indicating that 1 had permanent porosity even after evacuation of guest solvents from its pores. The surface area of 1 was relatively higher in one-dimensional CPs.

3. Materials and Methods

3.1. General

All chemicals and solvents used in this study were purchased from commercial suppliers and were used without further purification. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra were recorded on a JASCO FT-IR 4600 spectrophotometer using KBr pallets. Elemental analysis was conducted with a Yanaco CHN Corder MT-6 instrument. The dependence of the magnetic susceptibility on the temperature was determined using a Quantum Design MPMS magnetometer at 5000 Oe from 2 to 300 K. The nitrogen adsorption isotherm of 1 was measured at 77.4 K with a MicrotracBEL BELSORP-mini II analyzer.

3.2. Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction

Single crystals suitable for single crystal X-ray diffraction were obtained by using the method described in Section 3.5. A crystal of 1 was coated in Parabar oil to protect it from moisture, mounted on a CryoLoop and placed on a goniometer head. X-ray diffraction data for 1 were collected at 150 K on a RIGAKU Mercury 70 CCD system equipped with a rotating anode X-ray generator with monochromated Mo-Kα radiation (λ = 0.71075 Å). Diffraction data for 1 were processed using the CrystalClear-SM program (RIGAKU). The structure of 1 was initially solved with a direct method (SIR-2011) [23] and refined using the full-matrix least-squares technique F2 with SHELXL-2014 [24] in the CrystalStructure 4.2.5 software (RIGAKU). Non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters, and hydrogen atoms were located in the calculated positions and refined using riding models. The residual electron densities in the void space of the final refined structure of 1 were evaluated using the PLATON SQUEEZE program [18]. The crystal data can be obtained as Crystallographic information file (CIF) from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center (CCDC). The deposition number of 1 was 1841609.

3.3. Theoretical Calculation

The BS-DFT calculations performed in this study were carried out with a long-range corrected uCAM-B3LYP functional [25] combined with the TZVP basis set for Cu and 6-31+G* for other atoms in the Gaussian 09 program [26]. The geometry of the calculated model of 1 was obtained from its crystal structure, while that of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] was obtained by full geometry optimization in the singlet state. The exchange integral (J) was estimated by the AP scheme (known as the Yamaguchi equation; see Scheme 2) developed by Yamaguchi’s group [21]:
J = E singlet E triplet S 2 singlet S 2 triplet
where E and 〈S2〉 are the total energy and total angular momentum, respectively. The interchain CH–π interaction in the crystal structure of 1 was evaluated with the long-range and dispersion corrected CAM-B3LYP-D2 functional combined with the 6-31+G* basis set. Here, the counterpoise method was applied to estimate the energies of the CH–π interaction. Spin density distributions were drawn using the GaussView program.

3.4. Synthesis of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4]

[Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] was prepared by a literature method with slight modifications [27]. A mixture of [Cu2(O2CCH3)4(H2O)2] (159.8 mg, 0.400 mmol) and pivalic acid (5.0 mL, 0.044 mol) in EtOH (30.0 mL) was heated at 323 K for 2 h. The resulting solution was evaporated to dryness, and its residue was collected on a membrane filter and washed with hexane. The obtained blue powder was dried under vacuum at 353 K for 3 h. [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] was obtained as a crystalline blue powder in 79.9% (170.0 mg) yield. Anal. Calcd for C20H36Cu2O8: C, 45.19; H, 6.83%. Found: C, 45.19; H, 6.67%.

3.5. Synthesis of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(dpybz)] (1)

A THF solution (7.0 mL) of [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] (79.7 mg, 0.15 mmol) and a DMF solution (10.0 mL) of dpybz (34.8 mg, 0.15 mmol) were mixed and left for 10 days at room temperature. The single crystals deposited at the bottom of the flask were collected on a membrane filter, washed with DMF and diethylether, and finally dried at 353 K under vacuum for 3 h. 1 was obtained as a crystalline green powder in 80.0% (89.8 mg) yield.

4. Conclusions

In conclusion, we investigated the synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic and gas-adsorption properties of a one-dimensional chain-type Cu2 coordination polymer, 1, by means of experimental and theoretical techniques. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that (i) the [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4] SBU and dpybz ligand were alternately arranged to create the one-dimensional chain-type structure of 1, and (ii) interchain CH–π interactions of the dpybz moieties of 1 played an important role in forming the self-assembled brick-like porous network structures of 1. From these results, enlarging the planarity of dpybz was considered to stabilize the self-assembled structures of CPs and MOFs via electrostatic interactions. Magnetic analyses and DFT calculations confirmed that antiferromagnetic interactions were present between the two Cu ions through bridging carboxylate ligands, and that the magnetic interaction between two Cu2 units through the dpybz ligand was negligible. The N2 adsorption measurements confirmed that the porous network structure of 1 was maintained even after evacuation of guest solvent molecules from its pores, and 1 adsorbed a suitable amount of N2 gas into its pores. Thus, 1 is an exceptional example of a robust porous network CP, which is maintained by electrostatic CH–π interactions.
