0 Introduction

In recent years,the rational design and assembly of coordination polymers has been of considerable interest due to their potential applications,architectures,and topologies[1-5].Many factors,such as the coordination geometry of the metal centers,type and connectivity of organic ligands,stoichiometry,reaction conditions,template effect,presence ofauxiliary ligands,and pH values can play the key role in the construction of the coordination networks[6-10].The design and selection of the special ligands is very important in the construction of these coordination polymers.

Multi-carboxylate biphenyl ligands have been certified to be of great significance as constructors due to their strong coordination abilities in various modes,which could satisfy different geometric requirements of metal centers[7-9,11-16].In order to extend our research in this field,we chose two biphenyl tricarboxylic acid ligands,biphenyl-2,5,3′-tricarboxylate acid(H3bptc)and 2-(4-carboxypyridin-3-yl)terephalic acid (H3cptc)to construct novel coordination compounds.Both ligands possesses the following features:(1)they have three carboxyl groups that may be completely or partially deprotonated,inducing rich coordination modes and allowing interesting structures with higher dimensionalities; (2)they can act as hydrogen-bond acceptor as well as donor,depending upon the degree of deprotonation;(3)the free rotation of C-C single bonds between two the aromatic rings could form numbers of coordination geometries of metal centers;thus,it may ligate metal centers in different orientation.

Taking into account these factors,we herein report the syntheses,crystal structures,and magnetic properties of two Niギ and Mnギ coordination compounds constructed from biphenyl tricarboxylic acid ligands.

2 Results and discussion

2.1 Description of the structure

2.1.1 [Ni2(μ3-Hbptc)(Hbptc)(phen)3(H2O)]2·4H2O(1)

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealsthat compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1.Its asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically unique Niギa(chǎn)toms,two Hbptc2-blocks,three phen moieties,one H2O ligand and two lattice water molecules.As depicted in Fig.1,the sixcoordinated Ni1 atom displays a distorted octahedral{NiN4O2}geometry filled by two carboxylate O atoms from two different μ3-Hbptc2-blocks and four N atoms from two phen ligands.The Ni2 center is coordinated by one carboxylate O atom from one μ3-Hbptc2-block,two carboxylate O atoms from one terminal Hbptc2-block,one O atom from the H2O ligand,and two N atoms from one phen moiety,thus composing distorted octahedral{NiN2O4}geometry.The lengths of the Ni-O bonds range from 0.202 8(4)to 0.221 2(4)nm,whereas the Ni-N distances vary from 0.205 9(5)to 0.212 2(4)nm;these bonding parameters are comparable to those found in other reported Niギcompounds[7,9,11].In 1,the Hbptc2-ligands adopt two different coordination modes(modesⅠ andⅡ,Scheme 1),in which the deprotonated carboxylate groupsshow the monodentate,bidentate or uncoordinated modes.The dihedral angles between two phenyl rings in the Hbptc2-are 52.52°and 39.91°,respectively.Two μ3-Hbptc2-ligands bridge alternately neighboring Niギions to form a discrete tetranuclear nickelギstructure(Fig.2).These Ni4units are assembled to a 3D supramolecular framework through O-H…O hydrogen bond(Fig.3 and Table 3).

2.1.2 {[Mn3(μ4-cptc)2(2,2′-bipy)2(H2O)4]·2H2O}n(2)

The asymmetric unitof2 consistsoftwo crystallographically distinct Mnギ atoms(Mn1 with full occupancy;Mn2 is positioned on a twofold rotation axis),one μ4-cptc3-block,one 2,2′-bipy ligand,two coordinated and one lattice water molecule.As shown in Fig.4,six-coordinate Mn1 atom reveals distorted octahedral{MnN3O3}environment,filled by one N and two O atoms from three individual μ4-cptc3-blocks,one O atom from the H2O ligand,and two N atoms from the 2,2′-bipy moiety.The Mn2 center is coordinated by four carboxylate O atoms from four distinct cptc3-moieties and two O atoms from two H2O ligands,thus forming octahedral {MnO6}geometry.The Mn-O distances range from 0.210 2(2)to 0.223 1(3)nm,whereas the Mn-N distances vary from 0.226 7(3)to 0.232 3(3)nm;these bonding parameters are comparable to those observed in other Mnギcompounds[7-9,11].In 2,the cptc3-block acts as a μ4-N,O4-spacer and its COO-groups take a monodentate or bidentate mode(modeⅢ,Scheme 1).In cptc3-,a dihedral angle(between pyridyl and benzene rings)is 52.30°.Three neighboring Mnギions are bridged by four different μ4-cptc3-ligands,giving rise to a centrosymmetric trinuclear Mnギ subunit with the Mn…Mn distance of 0.508 4(6)nm(Fig.5).The adjacent Mn3subunits are further linked by the cptc3-blocks into a 1D chain(Fig.6),having the shortest distance of 1.023 4(5)nm between the neighboring trimanganeseギsubunits.

2.2 TGA analysis

To determine the thermal stability of compounds 1 and 2,their thermal behaviors were investigated under nitrogen atmosphere by thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).As shown in Fig.7,compound 1 loses its four lattice and two coordinated water molecules in the range of 152～241 ℃ (Obsd.3.9%,Calcd.4.2%),followed by the decomposition at 325℃.The TGA curve of 2 reveals that two lattice and four coordinated water molecules are released between 98～238℃ (Obsd.9.6%,Calcd.9.4%),and the dehydrated solid begins to decompose at 382℃.

2.3 Magnetic properties

Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility studies were carried out on powder samples of 1 and 2 in the 2～300 K temperature range.For 1,the χMT value at 300 K is 4.08 cm3·mol-1·K,which is close to the value of 4.00 cm3·mol-1·K for four magnetically isolated Niギcenter(SNi=1,g=2.0).Upon cooling,the χMT value drops down very slowly from 4.08 cm3·mol-1·K at 300 K to 3.64 cm3·mol-1·K at 60 K,and then decreases steeply to 1.40 cm3·mol-1·K at 2 K(Fig.8).In the 8～300 K interval,thevs T plot for 1 obeys the Curie-Weiss law with a Weiss constant θ of-6.52 K and a Curie constant C of 4.15 cm3·mol-1·K,suggesting a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the Niギions.

We tried to fit the magnetic data of 1 using the following expression[18]for a dinuclear Niギunit:

where ρ is a paramagnetic impurity fraction and TIP is temperature independent paramagnetism.Using this model,the susceptibility for 1 above 60 K was simulated,leading to the values of J=-2.25 cm-1,g=2.10,ρ=0.010,and TIP=4.58 ×10-6cm3·mol-1,with theThe negative J parameter confirms that a weak antiferromagnetic exchange coupling exists between the adjacent Niギcenters,which is in agreement with a negative θ value.

Fig.8 Temperature dependence of χMT(○)and 1/χM(□)vs T for compound 1

For 2,the χMT value at 300 K is 13.41 cm3·mol-1·K,which is close to the value of 13.12 cm3·mol-1·K expected for three magnetically isolated high-spin Mnギ centers(SMn=5/2,g=2.0).Upon cooling,the χMT value drops down very slowly from 13.41 cm3·mol-1·K at 300 K to 12.60 cm3·mol-1·K at 70 K and then decreases steeply to 2.81 cm3·mol-1·K at 2 K(Fig.9).Thevs T plot for 2 in the 2～300 K interval obeys the Curie-Weiss law with a Weiss constant θ of-4.34 K and a Curie constant C of 13.59 cm3·mol-1·K.The negative value of θ and the decrease of the χMT should be attributed to the overall antiferromagnetic coupling between the Mnギ centers within the Mn3unit.According to the structure of compound 2,there is one set of magnetic exchange pathway within the trinuclear cluster via carboxylate bridge(Fig.5).We tried to fit the magnetic data of 2 using the following expression[19-20]for the linear trinuclear Mnギmotif:where STis tolal spin of the linear trinuclear Mnギmotif;J12=J23=J1,J13=J2(J12and J23are the exchange interactions between the “central” Mnギ and two“outer”Mnギ atoms;J2is the exchange interaction between the “outer”Mnギ ions within a Mn3unit),zJ′refers to the intercluster coupling constant in the 1D chain.This model gives satisfactory results with the superexchange parameters:J1/kB=-1.32 K,J2/kB=-0.41 K,zJ′/kB=-0.20 K,and g=2.02.The agreement factor defined by R=∑(χmTexp- χmTcalc)2/∑(χmTexp)2is 7.54×10-4.These values confirm the presence of antiferromagnetic interaction between the Mnギions within a trinuclear subunit.The inercluster magnetic interaction(zJ′)is rather small,indicating that the exchange interactions between two magnetic clusters are very weak,which is probably due to a long separation(1.023 4(5)nm）of the adjacent magnetic subunits.In compounds 1 and 2,there is one type of the magnetic exchange pathway within the Ni4and Mn3units,namely via double μ2-η1∶η1-carboxylate (syn-syn)bridges(Fig.2 and 5).

3 Conclusions

In summary,two new coordination compounds,namely[Ni2(μ3-Hbptc)(Hbptc)(phen)3(H2O)]2·4H2O(1)and{[Mn3(μ4-cptc)2(2,2′-bipy)2(H2O)4]·2H2O}n(2),have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions.The compounds feature the 0D tetranuclear and 1D chain structures,respectively.Magnetic studies show an antiferromagnetic coupling between the adjacent metal centers.
