  • Article: Synthesis, structures, and property studies on Zn(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes with a Schiff base ligand containing thiocarbamide group
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: A Schiff base ligand containing thiocarbamide group of 4-phenyl-1-(4-methoxyl-1-phenylethylidene)thiosemicarbazide (HL) and its three mononuclear metal complexes of ZnL2 (1), NiL2 (2), and CuL2 (3) have been synthesized. Elemental analysis, IR, and X-ray single crystal diffraction characterizations for the ligand and the three complexes have been carried out. In the three complexes, the central metallic ions of Zn2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ coordinate with two deprotonated ligands of L−, respectively. In 1, Zn2+ ion adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry, while in 2 and 3, both the Ni2+ and Cu2+ ions possess distorted square planar configurations. For the four compounds, UV–Vis spectra have been measured and DFT calculations at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory prove that the electronic spectra of HL and 1 are corresponding with electronic transitions of n→π* and π→π* in the ligand itself and the electronic spectra of 2 and 3 are attributed to intraligand electronic transitions as well as d–d electronic transitions. Electrochemical investigations reveal that the different metal–ligand interactions have changed the peak shapes and peak locations, which are corresponding with the DFT-B3LYP/LANL2DZ calculational results. Fluorescence spectra measurements indicate that the ligand emits purple fluorescence and the complex 1 emits stronger blue fluorescence, while the complexes 2 and 3 quench fluorescence. The thermal analyses result show that the three complexes undergo two similar decomposition processes because of their similar geometric configurations.

  • Article: Comparative study on two 2-pyrazoline derivatives with experimental and theoretical methods
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Two 2-pyrazoline derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-pyrazoline (1) and 1-phenyl-3-(4-methylphenyl)-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-pyrazoline (2) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis, and fluorescence spectra. The crystal structure of 2 has been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. For the two compounds, density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the structures and natural population atomic charge analysis have been performed at B3LYP/6-311G** level of theory. By using TD-DFT method, electron spectra of 1 and 2 have been predicted, which are in good agreement with the experimental ones. Comparative studies on 1 and 2 indicate that the change of substituted groups in 3-phenyl ring of pyrazoline ring will change the peak intensity and peak locations both in electron spectra and fluorescence spectra.

  • Article: Synthesis, characterization, and quantum chemical calculational studies on 3-p-methylphenyl-4-amino- 1, 2, 4-triazole-5-thione
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The title compound of 3-p-methylphenyl-4-amino-1, 2, 4-triazole-5-thione was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic spectra, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Quantum chemical calculations of the structure, natural bond orbital, and thermodynamic functions of the title compound were performed by using B3LYP/6-311G** and HF-6-311G** methods. Both the methods can well simulate the molecular structure. Vibrational frequencies were predicted, assigned and compared with the experimental values, and B3LYP/6-311G** method is superior to HF/6-311G** method to predict the vibrational frequencies. Electronic absorption spectra calculated by B3LYP/6-311G** method have some red shifts compared with the experimental ones and natural bond orbitals analyses indicate that the two absorption bands are mainly derived from the contribution of n → π* and π→π* transitions. On the basis of vibrational analyses, the thermodynamic properties of the title compound at different temperatures have been calculated, revealing the correlations between C 0 p,m , S 0 m , H 0 m , and temperatures.

  • Article: Dy2(SO3)2(SO4)(H2O)2: the first lanthanide mixed sulfate-sulfite inorganic compound.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The first lanthanide mixed sulfate-sulfite inorganic coordination polymer, poly[diaqua-μ(4)-sulfato-di-μ(4)-sulfito-didysprosium(III)], [Dy(2)(SO(3))(2)(SO(4))(H(2)O)(2)](n), has been obtained, in which both sulfate and sulfite groups originate from the disproportionation of S(2)O(3)(2-) under hydrothermal and weakly acidic conditions. The crystal structure of the title compound exhibits a three-dimensional framework. The Dy(III) ion is surrounded by eight O atoms from one water molecule and two sulfate and five sulfite groups. These DyO(8) polyhedra have two shared edges and form an infinite zigzag Dy-O chain. In the bc plane, neighbouring chains are integrated through SO(3) trigonal pyramids, forming a two-dimensional sheet. Along the a-axial direction, the sulfate group, with the central S atom lying on a twofold axis, links adjacent two-dimensional sheets via two S-O-Dy connections, thus generating the three-dimensional framework.

    Article: Crystal engineered acid–base complexes with 2D and 3D hydrogen bonding systems using p-hydroxybenzoic acid as the building block
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: p-Hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HOBA) was selected as the building block for self-assembly with five bases, i.e., diethylamine, tert-butylamine, cyclohexylamine, imidazole and piperazine, and generation of the corresponding acid–base complexes 1–5. Crystal structure analyses suggest that proton-transfer from the carboxyl hydrogen to the nitrogen atom of the bases can be observed in 1–4, while only in 5 does a solvent water molecule co-exist with p--HOBA and piperazine. With the presence of O–H···O hydrogen bonds in 1–4, the deprotonated p-hydroxybenzoate anions (p-HOBAA–) are simply connected each other in a head-to-tail motif to form one-dimensional (1D) arrays, which are further extended to distinct two-dimensional (2D) (for 1 and 4) and three-dimensional (3D) (for 2 and 3) networks via N–H···O interactions. While in 5, neutral acid and base are combined pair-wise by O–H···N and N–H···O bonds to form a 1D tape and then the 1D tapes are sequentially combined by water molecules to create a 3D network. Some interlayer or intralayer C–H···O, C–H···p and p×××p interactions help to stabilize the supramolecular buildings. Melting point determination analyses indicate that the five acid–base complexes are not the ordinary superposition of the reactants and they are more stable than the original reactants.

    Article: Synthesis, crystal structure of and DFT calculations on bisglycinato-bis[p-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine]nickel(II)
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The main aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mIn tA new Ni(II) complex of bisglycinato-bis[p-(hydroxylmethyl)py-ridine] was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy and X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. The thermal stability of the title complex was also determined. The complex adopts a distorted octahedral geometry and possesses inversion symmetry with the Ni(II) ion as the center of inversion. Density function theory (DFT) calculations of the structure, electronic absorption spectra, electron structure and natural population analysis (NPA) at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory were performed. The predicted geometric parameters and electronic spectra were compared with the experimental values and they supported each other. The NPA results indicate that the electronic transitions were mainly derived from the contribution of an intra-ligand (IL) transition, a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) transition and a d-d transition. The electron structure calculations suggest that the central Ni(II) ion uses its 4s and 3d orbitals to form covalent bonds with coordinated N and O atoms. The calculated bond orders are also consistent with the thermal decomposition results. Based on vibrational analysis, the thermodynamic properties of the title complex were predicted and the correlative equations between these thermodynamic properties and temperature are also reported.

    ABSTRACT: A dicycle pyrazoline derivative, 1-phenyl-5-(p-fluorophenyl)-3,4-(α-p-fluoro-tolylenecyclohexano) pyrazoline, was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, fluorescence spectra and X-ray single crystal diffrac-tion. Density function theory (DFT) calculations were performed by using B3LYP method with 6-311G** basis set. The optimized geometry can well simulate the molecular structure. Vibrational frequencies were predicted, assigned and compared with the experimental values, which suggest that B3LYP/6-311G** method can well predict the IR spectra. Both the experimental electronic absorption spectra and the predicted ones by B3LYP/6-311G** method reveal three electron-transition bands, with the theoretical ones having some red shifts compared with the experimental data. Natural bond orbital analyses indicate that the absorption bands are mainly derived from the contribution of n → π* and π → π* transitions. Fluorescence spectra determination shows that the title compound can emit blue-light at about 478 nm. On the basis of vibrational analysis, the thermodynamic properties of title compound at different temperature have been cal-culated, revealing the correlations between C 0 p, m, S 0 m, H 0 m and temperature.

  • Article: A combined computational and experimental approach for investigating a hydrogen‐bonded supermolecular compound comprising benzimidazole and malonic acid
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: A hydrogen-bonded tetramer supramolecular motif of 2:2 benzimidazole (BIZ) and malonic acid (MLA) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Thermal stability analyses demonstrate that this supramolecular adduct is a new material and it is not the ordinary superposition of the original monomers. Density function theory (DFT) calculations for the models of dimers, trimers, and tetramer comprising BIZ and MLA have been carried out at B3LYP/6-31G* and PBE1PBE/6-31G* levels of theory, respectively. By comparing the calculated results with the experiments (single crystal structure, IR spectra, and thermal analysis) and based on the statistic thermodymnamic calculations, it is concluded that the dimers cannot exist at room temperature and the tetramer can simulate the title supramolecular complex better than the two trimers. Further studies on the model of tetramer indicate that the hydrogen bond of N···HO is stronger than that of O···HN. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2008

    ABSTRACT: The title compound of [Ni(H2O)6(NaSO4)2] has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in space group P21/c of the monoclinic system in a cell at 293.2K of a=6.1820(12)Å, b=12.316(3)Å, c=9.0890(18)Å, β=106.03(3)°, and V=665.1(2)Å3. In the title compound, each SO4 tetrahedron coordinates with three Na(I) ions and each Na(I) connects to three SO4 tetrahedrons. Such a coordinate model makes up a two-dimensional network having two different kinds of rings and, in the bigger rings, the [Ni(H2O)6]2+ ions are located. In the solid state, some hydrogen bonds connect the title compound to form three-dimensional networks, stabilizing the crystal structure. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that there are three steps of weight loss from the beginning of 110°C and the residue may be the mixtures of NiO2 and Na2O.
