Iron-Chloranilate Intercalation Compounds: Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Thermal Properties

Module-Based Assembly of Copper(II) Chloranilate Compounds: Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Magnetic Properties of {[Cu2(CA)(terpy)2][Cu(CA)2]}n and {[Cu2(CA)(terpy)2(dmso)2][Cu(CA)2(dmso)2](EtOH)}n (H2CA = Chloranilic Acid, terpy = 2,2‘:6‘,2‘ ‘-Terpyridine, dmso = Dimethyl Sulfoxide)

Two new copper(II) compounds of chloranilate and 2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine have been synthesized, and the structures have been solved by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The crystal structure of [[Cu(2)(CA)(terpy)(2)][Cu(CA)(2)]](n)(1), where H(2)CA = chloranilic acid and terpy = 2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine, consists of two modules, the dimer unit [Cu(2)(CA)(terpy)(2)](2+) and the anionic mononuclear unit [Cu(CA)(2)](2)(-), forming an alternated chain. The chain is stabilized by semicoordinating and additional but efficient secondary bonding interactions. The crystal structure of [[Cu(2)(CA)(terpy)(2)(dmso)(2)][Cu(CA)(2)(dmso)(2)](EtOH)](n)(2), where dmso = dimethyl sulfoxide, consists of solvent molecules and two discrete modules, the dimer unit [Cu(2)(CA)(terpy)(2)(dmso)(2)](2+) and the anionic mononuclear unit [Cu(CA)(2)(dmso)(2)](2)(-). The dimer units form a layer by secondary bonding interactions, and the monomer units and ethanol molecules are introduced between the layers. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 have been investigated in the temperature range 2.0-300 K. A weak ferromagnetic interaction was observed in 1, J(a) = 2.36 cm(-)(1) and zJ(b) = -0.68 cm(-)(1) while no exchange coupling was observed in 2.

Design of novel inorganic-organic hybrid materials based on iron-chloranilate mononuclear complexes: characteristics of hydrogen-bond-supported layers toward the intercalation of guests

Novel intercalation compounds constructed from the common two-dimensional hydrogen-bond-supported layers and functional guests [(H(0.5)phz)(2)[Fe(CA)(2)(H(2)O)(2)].2H(2)O](n)(1), ([Fe(Cp)(2)][Fe(CA)(2)(H(2)O)(2)])(n)(2), ([Fe(Cp*)(2)][Fe(CA)(2)(H(2)O)(2)])(n)(3), and [(TTF)(2)[Fe(CA)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]](n)(4) (H(2)CA = chloranilic acid, phz = phenazine, [Fe(Cp)(2)] = ferrocene, [Fe(Cp*)(2)] = decamethylferrocene, TTF = tetrathiafulvalene) are described. The guest cations are introduced between the ([Fe(CA)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](m-))(l) layers by electrostatic (1-4) and pi-pi stacking (3, 4) interactions. [Fe(Cp*)(2)](+) cations in 3 are stacked on each other making tilted columns which are included in the channel created by the chlorine atoms of CA(2-) dianions. TTF cations in 4 are stacked face to face with two types of S...S distances (type A; 3.579(3) A, and type B; 3.618(3) A) making a columnar structure. The TTF cations in the stacked column have a head-to-tail arrangement with respect to the iron-chloranilate layer. Mössbauer spectroscopy suggests that [Fe(CA)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](m-) anion in 3 is consistent with high-spin (S = 5/2) iron(III) ions and [Fe(Cp*)(2)](+) in the low-spin (S = 1/2) iron(III) ions. In 4, Mössbauer spectroscopy shows high-spin iron(II) ions (IS = 1.10 mm.s(-1) and QS = 1.66 mm.s(-1) at 297 K) and high-spin iron(III) ions (IS = 0.42 mm.s(-1) and QS = 1.27 mm.s(-1) at 297 K), suggesting that the anionic layer of iron-chloranilate has a valence-trapped mixed-valence state. At the temperature range of 77-300 K, the compounds 1, 2, and 3 are EPR silent, whereas the EPR spectrum of 4 shows two types of signals with g = 2.008 indicating the radical form of TTF.
