The development of synthetic approaches towards new mixed‐ligand metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has been attracting considerable attention recently as they display fascinating properties due to the synergistic effect between the different ligands. Herein, the initial combination of pyridine‐2,6‐dimethanol (H 2 pdm) with benzene‐1,4‐dicarboxylic ac...

The development of synthetic approaches towards new coordination polymers has attracted significant interest due to their fascinating physical properties, as well as their use in a wide range of technological, environmental and biomedical applications. Herein, the initial combination of 2-pyridinemethanol (Hhmp) with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H...

The simultaneous use of 2-pyridyl oximes (pyridine-2 amidoxime, H2pyaox; 2-methyl pyridyl ketoxime, Hmpko) and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3btc) provided access to five new compounds, namely [Zn(H2btc)2(H2pyaox)2]Ÿ2H2O (1Ÿ2H2O), [Zn(Hbtc)(H2pyaox)2]n (2), [Cu(Hbtc)(H2pyaox)]n (3), [Cu(Hbtc)(HmpKo)]n (4) and [Cu2(Hbtc)2(Hmpko)2(H2O)2]Ÿ4H2O (5Ÿ...

The synthesis and characterization of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has attracted a significant interest over the last decades due to their fascinating physical properties, as well as their use in a wide range of technological, environmental, and biomedical applications. The initial use of 2-pyridyl oximic ligands such a...

The initial employment of methyl 2-pyridyl ketoxime, (py)C(Me)NOH, in mixed metal Ni/Mn cluster chemistry, provided access to complexes [NiII2MnIII{(py)C(Me)NO}6](ClO4) (1) and [NiII2MnIII2{(py)C(Me)NO}6(OMe)2(MeOH)2](ClO4)2 (2) that display a linear and a zig-zag metal arrangement, respectively. 1 and 2 are synthesized by reacting Ni(ClO4)2·6H2O,...

The reactions of hydrated lanthanide(III) [Ln(III)] nitrates and salicylideneaniline (salanH) have provided access to two families of mononuclear complexes depending on the reaction solvent used. In MeCN, the products are [Ln(NO3)3(salanH)2(H2O)]·MeCN, and, in MeOH, the products are [Ln(NO3)3(salanH)2(MeOH)]·(salanH). The complexes within each fami...

The first use of biacetylmonoxime picolinoylhydrazone in lanthanide(III) chemistry has provided access to a structurally interesting dinuclear praseodymium(III) complex. The ligand undergoes an impressive dysprosium(III)-assisted hydrolysis of its hydrazone and oxime functionalities to give a polydentate ligand containing two picolinoyl and two hyd...

The initial use of anils, i.e. bidentate Schiff bases derived from the condensation of anilines with salicylaldehyde or its derivatives, in 4f-metal chemistry is described. The 1 : 1 reactions between Ln(NO3)3·xH2O (Ln = lanthanide) or Y(NO3)3·6H2O and N-(5-bromosalicylidene)aniline (5BrsalanH) in MeCN has provided access to complexes [Ln(NO3)3(5Br...

The initial study of the ligand blend pyridine-2-amidoxime (pyaoxH2)/1,4-benzenedicarboxylic (H2bdc) or 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3btc) provided access to four 1D coordination polymers, [Zn(bdc)(pyaoxH2)(DMF)]n (1), {[Ni(bdc)(pyaoxH2)2]·2DMF}n (2·2DMF), {[Mn(bdc)(pyaoxH2)2]·2DMF}n (3·2DMF) and [Ni(Hbtc)(pyaoxH2)2]n (5), and the discrete (0D...

The use of N-salicylidene-4-methyl-o-aminophenol in nickel(II) pivalate chemistry has provided access to structurally and magnetically interesting {NiII6NaI4} and {NiII6} clusters possessing carbonato and methanediolato(-2) ligands, respectively, with novel coordination modes.

Enneanuclear lanthanide(III) hydroxo coordination clusters with an “hourglass”- or “sandglass”-like topology have been synthesized via 2-hydroxybenzophenone-controlled hydrolysis of the metal ions in ethanol; the EuIII9 complex displays an intense red, metal-centered emission in the solid state at room temperature which is achieved by an indirect p...

The 1:1 reactions between hydrated lanthanide(III) nitrates and triethanolamine (teaH3) in MeOH, in the absence of external bases, have provided access to the dinuclear complexes [Ln2(NO3)4(teaH2)2] (Ln = Pr, 1; Ln = Gd, 2; Ln = Tb, 3; Ln = Dy, 4; Ln = Ho, 5) containing the singly deprotonated form of the ligand. Use of excess of the ligand in the...

The combined use of di-2-pyridyl ketone, (py)2CO, and acetates (MeCO2−) in nickel(II) chemistry in H2O-MeCN under basic conditions (Et3N) afforded the coordination cluster [Ni11(OH)6(O2CMe)12{(py)2C(OH)(O)}4(H2O)2] (1) in 80% yield, where (py)2C(OH)(O)− is the monoanion of the gem-diol form of (py)2CO. The complex contains a novel core topology. Th...
