Double-stranded helical lanthanide(III) supramolecular networks with rigid diimine ligands: Synthesis, structure, and physical properties
摘要:
Two lanthanide coordination complexes [Nd(NO3)(3)(CH3OH)(2)(4,4'-bipy)(2)] (1) (4,4'-bipy=4,4'-bipyridine) and [4,4'-Hbipy][La(NO3)(4)(H2O)(2)(4,4'-bipy)] (2), with a salt of cationic diprotonated 4,4'-bipy, [2(4,4'-H(2)bipy)][4(NO3)] (3), have been identified and isolated from a methanol solution of Ln(NO3)(3)center dot 6H(2)O, 4,4'-bipyridine and pyrazine in 1:2:1 ratio. Their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, which reveal that 1 has an interesting three-dimensional supramolecular architecture containing 2(1) double-stranded helical chains through hydrogen bonding and pi-pi interactions, while 2 and 3 have well defined infinite chiral 3D open networks that undergo self-interpenetration. The electrospray ionization mass spectra (ESI-MS) indicate that the covalent complex has higher stability than the electrostatic bonding one. ESI-MS/MS of these ions reveal that the Ln-O bond forms a stronger coordinated bonding than that of Ln-N system and the nitrate anion remains bound to the lanthanide centers after complete dissociation in methanol solution.
