Organic–inorganic hybrid materials assembled through weak intermolecular interactions. Synthesis, structures and non-linear optical properties of [4,4′-bipyH2][M(NCS)4] (M = Mn2+, Co2+ or Zn2+; 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine)
摘要:
Three compounds [4,4â²-bipyH2][M(NCS)4] (M = Mn2+, Co2+ or Zn2+; 4,4â²-bipy = 4,4â²-bipyridine) were obtained from the reactions of 4,4â²-bipy with M(SCN)2 in acidic solution and their crystal structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All crystallise isomorphously in the chiral orthorhombic space group P21212. The tetrahedral [M(NCS)4]2â anions are inter-connected by Sâ¯S contacts (ca. 3.63 à ) and are hydrogen bonded with the diprotonated [4,4â²-bipyH2]2+ cations [Nâ¯S 3.241 à in 1; 3.235 à in 2; 3.239 à in 3] to form two-dimensional, highly wavy networks with hourglass-shaped cavities (ca. 12.3 à long; 9.4 à wide at the ends, 6.8 à at the waist). These two-dimensional networks are stacked with each other to furnish a channel accommodating the diprotonated [4,4â²-bipyH2]2+ cations. The three organicâinorganic hybrid compounds are thermally stable with melting points above 230 °C. The powder second harmonic generation efficiencies were measured as moderate.
