New AgI Organometallic Coordination Polymers and MII (M = CuII and CoII) Inorganic Supramolecular Complexes Generated from New Fulvene‐Type Ligands

Abstract

AbstractTwo novel fulvene‐type organic ligands L1 and L2 have been synthesized by aroylation reaction of substituted cyclopentadienyl anions. L1 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21, a = 6.7498(4), b = 20.5769(11), c = 8.9532(5) Å, β = 109.5060(10)°, and Z = 2. L2 crystallized in the triclinic space group P$\bar 1$ , a = 11.4126(10), b = 11.4763(10), c = 11.7719(10) Å, α = 67.050(2), β = 74.509(2), γ = 61.148(2)°, and Z = 2. The coordination chemistry of L1 and L2 has been investigated. One novel AgI‐containing organometallic coordination polymer 3, based on both AgI−C and AgI−N interactions, has been synthesized by combination of L1 and AgClO4 in a benzene/dichloromethane mixed‐solvent system. Two new MII‐containing [M = CuII (4) and CoII (5)] supramolecular complexes with seven‐membered metalla‐ring unit have been prepared by combination of L2 and the corresponding M(OAc)2·2H2O (M = CuII and CoII) salts in ethanol. The isostructural compounds 4 and 5 crystallized in the triclinic space group P$\bar 1$ [4: a = 8.8808(5), b = 10.9928(7), c = 14.2196(9) Å, α = 99.9750(10), β = 95.8190(10), γ = 93.5610(10)°, and Z = 1; 5: a = 8.7964(10), b = 10.8103(12), c = 14.3765(15) Å, α = 99.681(2), β = 95.930(2), γ = 93.429(2)°, and Z = 1]. In the solid state, molecular complexes 4 and 5 are bound by strong intermolecular N···O−H hydrogen bonds in a hand‐in‐hand fashion to give a novel one‐dimensional chain motif.
