The reaction of [Ni(L)]Cl2·2H2O (L = 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo [14,4,01.18,07.12]docosane) with trans-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (H2-cpdc) yields a 1D hydrogen-bonded infinite chain with formula [Ni(L)(H-cpdc-)2] (1). This compl...
The compound [Ni(L)(isoph)2][Ni(L)]·8H2O (1; L = C-meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane; H2-isoph = isophthalic acid) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 exhibits a geometrically symmetric core w...
A pair of cobalt(II)-based hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), [Co(pca)2(bmimb)]n (1) and [Co2(pca)4(bimb)2] (2), where Hpca = p-chlorobenzoic acid, bmimb = 1,3-bis((2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene, and bimb = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)...
The reaction of the complex [Au(phen)Br2](PF6) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) with molecular dibromine afforded {[Au(phen)Br2](Br3)}∞ (1). Single crystal diffraction analysis showed that the [Au(phen)Br2]+ complex cations were bridged by asymmetr...
Crystals of 1,6-hexanedioic acid (I) undergo a temperature-dependent reversible phase transition from monoclinic P21/c at a temperature higher than the critical temperature (Tc) 130 K to another monoclinic P21/c at temperature lower than Tc. The phas...
We herein report the synthesis, single-crystal structures of coordination polymers, and structural transformations of complexes employing 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-5,6-dioxo-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitrile (tdpd2−) and pyrazine (pyz) as bridging ligands. {...
Drugs with poor biopharmaceutical performance are the main obstacle to the development and design of medicinal preparations. The anisotropic surface chemistry of different surfaces on the crystal influences its physical and chemical properties, such...
A new class of six mono- (1; 3-Cl-, 2; 5-Cl-, 3; 6-Cl-) and di-(4; 3,6-Cl, 5; 5,6-Cl-, 6; 3,5-Cl-) chloro-substituted pyrazin-2-amine ligands (1–6) form complexes with copper (I) bromide, to give 1D and 2D coordination polymers through a combin...
Two copper coordination compounds bearing an N,N’-dibenzylethylenediamine ligand, namely [Cu3L(CH3COO)6]n (1) and [(CuCl4)∙(C6H5CH2NH2CH2)2] (2) (L = N,N’-dibenzylethylenediamine) were synthesized by the ethanol refluxing method. Powder X...
The structure of the title compound (4d), unexpectedly obtained in the reaction between o-phenylenediamine and 2-benzoylcyclohexanone instead of the target 3H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepine derivative 3d, was determined spectroscopically in solution and by a...
Photocatalysis is a promising strategy for the treatment of dangerous chemical pollutants in the ocean. In this work, a stable copper-based photocatalyst, i.e., {[Cu(BPA)2]·2I3}n (1, BPA = 4,4′-bipyridinium-N-pentanoic acid), exhibited e...
The increasing dangerous chemical pollutants led by shipping accidents call for the new pollutant treatment strategy. In this work, a new three-component hybrid {[(BiI6)I13]·2I3·(H-BPA)4}n (1) can be used in dye degradation in seawater. The highly in...
A new coordination polymer {[Cd(C12H13O5)2(4,4′-bpy)(H2O)2]}n (Cd-Tmca-bpy) was constructed with trans-2,3,4-Trimethoxycinnamic acid (HTmca) and 4,4′-Bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) ligands. This complex was structurally characterized on the...
A novel one-dimensional (1D) oxalate-bridged coordination polymer of iron(III), {[NH(CH3)(C2H5)2][FeCl2(C2O4)]}n (1), exhibits remarkable humidity-sensing properties and very high proton conductivity at room temperature (2.70 × 10−4 (Ω·cm)−1 at 298 K...
Despite the technological importance of urea perhydrate (percarbamide) and sodium percarbonate, and the growing technological attention to solid forms of peroxide, fewer than 45 peroxosolvates were known by 2000. However, recent advances in X-ray dif...
