Synthesis, Structure and Physical Properties of an Hybrid Compound Based on Strandberg Type Polyoxoanions and Copper Cations

Crystal structure of a new polyoxometalate (POM) compound with a high level of crystallographic disorder

The crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and spectroscopic analysis of a new polyoxometalate (POM) compound, namely, nonakis(2-methoxyaniline) bis(diphosphopentamolybdate) trihydrate, (C₇H₉NO)₉[P₂Mo₅O₂₃]₂·3H₂O, is reported. The title compound was synthesized using the solution method and was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which revealed P-1 symmetry. A study of the intermolecular interactions using Hirshfeld surface analysis confirmed that the hydrogen-bonding interactions play the dominant role in the stability of the crystal structure. The refinement was complicated by extensive disorder affecting 11 of the 16 ions and molecules in the asymmetric unit. IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques were used to identify the vibrational modes and to classify this compound as an insulator.

Structure, optical and magnetic properties of a novel homometallic coordination polymers: Experimental and Computational studies

Single crystal of 1D homometallic coordination polymer involving cobalt metal ion and P₂Mo₅ Strandberg type polyoxometallate cluster (C₆H₁₀N₂)₂[Co(H₂O)₄P₂Mo₅O₂₃].6H₂O, is prepared in aqueous solution and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance, fluorescence and magnetism. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that this compound crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\,\bar{1}$$\end{document}1¯. The 3-(ammoniomethyl)pyridine C₆H₈N₂ organic fragment is used merely as stabilizer for the promotion of topological structure. DRS data indicate that the synthesized material can be identified as a ferromagnetic semiconductor with optical bands gaps energy of 1.81 and 2.74 eV, respectively. The large value of refractive index observed in the visible region make the simple a promising candidate for visible optical communication devices and fluorescent emisson result provides that the complex belongs to a blue luminescent compounds. Moreover, magnetic measurements and electronic structure calculations show that P₂Mo₅ Strandberg polyoxoanion can be reported as a new class of ligand that is candidate to construct metal-inorganic framworks with long distance ferromagnetic superechange between Co(II) centers. The evidence from this study suggests that the syntesized polymer can become a great multifunctional material openning the door for the developpement of new coordination polymers based on Strandberg type polyxoxmetalate with potential applications.
