A series of organic-inorganic hybrid compounds formed by [PWO] and several types of transition metal complexes.

Five new organic-inorganic hybrid compounds based on [PWO] (abbreviated as {PW}) and several types of transition metal complexes (TMCs) have been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, XRD, cyclic voltammetry measurements and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. [Cu(phen)][Cu(phen)(HO)][Cu(phen)(HO)][PWO]·8HO (1) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) is a {PW} bi-supported complex of phen, while [Cu(2,2'-bpy)(HO)][Cu(2,2'-bpy)][PWO]·3.5HO (2) (2,2'-bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) is a 1-D chain structure formed by {PW} and copper complexes of 2,2'-bpy.

Crystal structure of a binuclear nickel(II) complex constructed of 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline and doubly deprotonated benzene-1,3,5-tri-carb-oxy-lic acid.

The title complex, [Ni2(C9H4O6)2(C13H8N4)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, bis-(μ-5-carb-oxy-benzene-1,3-di-carboxyl-ato-κ(2) O (1):O (1'))bis-[di-aqua(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline-κ(2) N (7),N (8))nickel(II)] di-hydrate, was obtained under solvothermal conditions by the reaction of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) with Ni(NO3)2 in the presence of 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (IP). The crystal has triclinic (P-1) symmetry with a centrosymmetric binuclear nickel(II) cluster. The Ni(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from a chelating 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline ligand, two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two 5-carb-oxy-benzene-1,3-di-carboxyl-ate ligands and two water mol-ecules in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry.

Two unprecedented porous anionic frameworks: organoammonium templating effects and structural diversification.

Two unprecedented 3D porous anionic metal-organic frameworks, [Me2NH2]2[Cd2(bpdc)3].4dma 1 and [Me2NH2]2[Cd2(NH2bdc)3].4dma 2 (dma = N,N'-dimethylacetamide, bpdc = 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylate, NH(2)bdc = 2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) have been solvothermally synthesized with a dimethylammonium cations template.

Combination of POMs and deliberately designed macrocations: a rational approach for synthesis of POM-pillared metal-organic framework.

Two POM-pillared 3D porous compounds, [Cu(I)Cu(II)(Cu(II)fcz)(2)(H(2)O)(5)(PMo(VI)(10)Mo(V)(2)O(40))].6H(2)O () and [Cu(I)(2)(Cu(II)fcz)(2)(H(2)O)(2)(PMo(VI)(8)V(V)(3)V(IV)(3)O(42))].6H(2)O () (Hfcz = fluconazole, (1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,1-bis[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]benzyl alcohol) have been constructed based on different polyanions, (Cufcz)(2)(2+) macrocations and copper cations by the hydrothermal method.

A novel cadmium(II) coordination polymer with biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine.

A novel cadmium(II) coordination polymer, poly[[[bis(4,4'-bipyridine)cadmium(II)]-mu(3)-4,4'-dicarboxybiphenyl-3,3'-dicarboxylato] 0.35-hydrate], {[Cd(C(16)H(8)O(8))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)].0.

A novel copper(II) coordination polymer with 2,2'-bipyridyl-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid.

A novel copper(II) coordination polymer, poly[[[aquacopper(II)]-mu3-2,2'-bipyridyl-3,3'-dicarboxylato-kappa4N,N':O:O'] dihydrate], {[Cu(C12H6N2O4)(H2O)].2H2O}n, was obtained by the reaction of CuCl2.2H2O and 2,2'-bipyridyl-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid (H2L) in water.

A new system in organooxotin cluster chemistry incorporating inorganic and organic spacers between two ladders each containing five tin atoms.

Hydrolysis of dibenzyltin dichloride in ethanol has been found to give an unprecedented carbonate anion (CO(3) (2-))-bridged double-ladder organooxotin cluster, [(R(2)SnO)(3)(R(2)SnOH)(2)(CO(3))](2) (1, R = C(6)H(5)CH(2)), with five tin atoms in each ladder. With the aim of obtaining organooxotin clusters with large cavities suitable for host-guest chemistry, we used 1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxylic acid (H(2)L(a)) and hexanedioic acid (H(2)L(b)) to replace the carbonate anions (CO(3) (2-)), and thereby clusters [(R(2)SnO)(3)(R(2)SnOH)(2)L(a)](2) (2) and [(R(2)SnO)(3)(R(2)SnOH)(2)L(b)](2) (3) were obtained. When 1 was treated with benzoic acid (HL(c)) in different stoichiometric ratios (1:4, 1:10), ladder cluster (R(2)SnO)(3)(R(2)SnOH)(2)(L(c))(2) (4) and drum cluster [RSn(O)L(c)](6) (5) were obtained.
