Abstract
A series of unprecedented supramolecular associates of phenylarsonate-capped {MII PdII 12 O8 }-type (M=Co, Ni and Zn) polyoxopalladates with α-cyclodextrins (α-CD) was obtained and characterized in the solid state (single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental and thermogravimetric (TGA) analyses), in aqueous solution (1 H and 13 C NMR) and in the gas phase (ESI-MS). The non-covalent host-guest interactions between the organopolyoxoanions and α-CD rings alter the O8 coordination environment of a 3d transition metal ion (MII ) situated at the center of a cuboid polyoxododecapalladate shell. This synthetically controlled "chemical pressure" effectively induces axial distortion of the otherwise cubic polyoxopalladate environment between two trans-positioned α-CD moieties. Its effect on the magnetic properties and the electronic structure of the CoII derivative was assessed in a combined SQUID magnetometry, EPR, X-ray magnetic circular/linear dichroism (XMCD/XMLD), and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy study.
