Complexes of vanadyl and uranyl ions with a benzoxazole derivative: Synthesis, structural features and remarks on luminescence properties
摘要:
UO2(NO3)(2)center dot 6H(2)O and VO(acac)(2) react with 2-(2'-hydroxylphenyl) benzoxazole (Hpbx) in methanol to give [UO2(pbx)(2)(CH3OH)] (1) and [VO(pbx) 2] (2). Complex 1 shows a distorted pentagonal bipyrimidal geometry, characteristic for the coordination number 7. Reciprocal OH center dot center dot center dot O interactions between neighbored molecules hold 1 in a pseudo-dimeric association with an inversion center. Complex 2 achieves a distorted octahedral geometry and the molecules "stack" along the b axis through secondary interactions. The molecule heaping is wholly linear, with V-n' O(1)(n')center dot center dot center dot V (x') angles of 180 degrees. Luminescence properties of Hpbx, 1 and 2 are discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V.
