Three metal-organic coordination polymers containing rigid bis(triazole) ligand, namely, [Zn1.5(btb)(nbta)(H2O)]n (1), {[Zn(btb)(3-nph)]·(H2O)}n (2) and [Zn(btb)(4-nph)]n (3) (btb=4,4'-bis(1,2,4-triazolyl-1-yl)-biphenyl, 3-H2nph=3-nitrophthalic acid, H3nbta=5-nitro-1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid, and 4-H2nph=4-nitrophthalic acid) were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Complex 1 possesses an interesting 3D coordination framework with a rarely binodal (4,4)-connected frl topological structure. Complexes 2 and 3 exhibit similiar 2D (4,4) grid layers with different point symbol (4(4)·6(4)) in 2 and (4(4)·6(2)) in 3. Furthermore, thermal stability of these compounds has been discussed. Complexes 1-3 exhibit strong solid-state fluorescence at room temperature in solid state.

Generation of -nitrosothiol (RSNO) and nitric oxide (NO) mediated by zinc(ii) coordination motifs is of prime importance for understanding the role of zinc(ii)-based cofactors in redox-signalling pathways. This study uniquely employs a set of mononuclear [LZn] cores (where L = MePzPz/MePzPy/MePzQu) for introducing subtle alterations of the primary coordination sphere and investigates the role of ligand tuning in the transformation of NO in the presence of thiols. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analyses on [LZn-X](X) (where X = perchlorate/triflate) illustrate consistent changes in the bond distances, thereby showing variations of the metal-ligand interactions depending on the nature of the heterocyclic donor arms (pyrazole/pyridine/quinoline).

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed on the 5,15 meso-positions of nine porphyrin-containing MOFs; Zn(TCPB)-(NMe-ZnP); (HTCPB = 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene), (NMe-ZnP = [5,15-bis[(4-pyridyl)-ethynyl]-10,20-bis-(dimethylamine) porphinato]zinc(II)) functionalized with nitrogen-, oxygen-, and sulfur-containing groups to study their effects on the electronic, optical and transport properties of the materials. The properties of these materials have also been investigated by encapsulating fullerene (C) in their pores (C@MOFs). The results indicate that the guest C in the MOF generates high photoconductivity through efficient porphyrin/fullerene donor-acceptor (D-A) interactions, which are facilitated by oxygen and sulfur functionalities.

Cinquefoil Knot Possessing Dynamic and Tunable Metal Coordination.

While the majority of knots are made from the metal-template approach, the use of entangled, constrained knotted loops to modulate the coordination of the metal ions remains inadequately elucidated. Here, we report on the coordination chemistry of a 140-atom-long cinquefoil knotted strand comprising five tridentate and five bidentate chelating vacancies. The knotted loop is prepared through the self-assembly of asymmetric "3 + 2" dentate ligands with copper(II) ions that favor five-coordination geometry.

Two structural isomeric porphyrin-based triads (Zn(II)porphyrin-Sn(IV)porphyrin-Zn(II)porphyrin) denoted as and were prepared from the reaction of -[5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)porphyrinato]zinc(II) () with trans-dihydroxo-[5,10-bis(3-pyridyl)-15,20-bis(phenyl)porphyrinato]tin(IV) () and trans-dihydroxo-[5,15-bis(3-pyridyl)-10,20-bis(phenyl)porphyrinato]tin(IV) (), respectively. All the compounds were characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy, ESI-MS, H NMR spectroscopy, and FE-SEM. Most importantly, the two structurally isomeric porphyrin-based triads supramolecularly self-assembled into completely different nanostructures.

A series of thiosemicarbazonato-hydrazinatopyridine zinc(II) complexes were evaluated as direct air CO capture agents. The complexes sequester CO in a methanol solution as a metal-coordinated methylcarbonate. The reaction is reversible upon sparging of solutions with an inert gas (N or Ar).
