A new end-to-end azido double-bridged copper(II) complex [Cu(2)L(2)(N(3))2] (1) was synthesized and characterized (L=1,1,1-trifluoro-7-(dimethylamino)-4-methyl-5-aza-3-hepten-2-onato). Despite the rather long Cu-Cu distance (5.105(1) A), the magnetic interaction is ferromagnetic with J= +16 cm(-1) (H=-JS(1)S(2)), a value that has been confirmed by DFT and high-level correlated ab initio calculations. The spin distribution was studied by using the results from polarized neutron diffraction. This is the first such study on an end-to-end system. The experimental spin density was found to be localized mainly on the copper(II) ions, with a small degree of delocalization on the ligand (L) and terminal azido nitrogens. There was zero delocalization on the central nitrogen, in agreement with DFT calculations. Such a picture corresponds to an important contribution of the d(x2-y2) orbital and a small population of the d(z2) orbital, in agreement with our calculations. Based on a correlated wavefunction analysis, the ferromagnetic behavior results from a dominant double spin polarization contribution and vanishingly small ionic forms.

Concomitant dimorphism in poly[di-μ-azido-(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine)iron(II)].

Acta Crystallogr C Struct Chem

Leiden Institute of Chemistry, Leiden University, PO Box 9502, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands.

The title metal-organic polymer, catena-poly[[(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')iron(II)]-di-μ-azido-κN:N-[(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')iron(II)]-di-μ-azido-κN:N], [Fe(N)(CHN)], features alternating μ-1,1 (end-on mode of coordination) and μ-1,3 (end-to-end mode of coordination) double azide bridges, forming chains running in the [100] direction. The octahedral coordination geometry around the Fe centre is completed by a bidentate 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand. Two polymorphs for this compound were obtained from the crude reaction product, the first in the space group P-1 and the other in P2/c.

A new versatile azide-bridged polymeric Cu(II) complex, namely, [Cu(L)(μ-N)] (), was synthesized utilizing an N,N,O-donor piperidine-based Schiff base ligand ()-4-bromo-2-((2-(-1-yl)imino)methyl)phenol (), obtained the condensation reaction of 1-(2-aminoethyl) piperidine and 5-bromo salicylaldehyde. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complex consists of an end-to-end azido-bridged polymeric network, which is further rationalized with the help of a density functional theory (DFT) study. After routine characterization with a range of physicochemical studies, complex is exploited to evaluate its biomedical potential.

Low-Temperature Vibrational Energy Transport via PEG Chains.

J Phys Chem Lett

June 2020

Department of Chemistry, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118, United States.

We used relaxation-assisted two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy to study the temperature dependence (10-295 K) of end-to-end energy transport across end-decorated PEG oligomers of various chain lengths. The excess energy was introduced by exciting the azido end-group stretching mode at 2100 cm (tag); the transport was recorded by observing the asymmetric C═O stretching mode of the succinimide ester end group at 1740 cm. The overall transport involves diffusive steps at the end groups and a ballistic step through the PEG chain.

Article Synopsis
  • The study presents five new one-dimensional polymeric azido-bridged lanthanide complexes with a specific formula, focusing on their synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties.
  • X-ray diffraction shows that these complexes have a unique eight-coordination with the central lanthanide atoms, involving a new ligand and linking the metal centers into infinite chains.
  • Magnetic measurements indicate that while these compounds exhibit field-induced single-molecule magnet behavior with notable energy barriers, their overall magnetic properties are primarily influenced by individual lanthanide ion anisotropy rather than the expected chain interactions.
