We report colour/luminescence colour changes of M[Ru(bpy)(CN)4] crystal (M2+ = Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+; bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine). An X-ray crystallographic study reveals the crystals are constructed by linear-chains of {[Ru(bpy)(CN)4][Ca(H2O)5]}n,...

The retention of crystallinity upon desolvation of molecular crystals is not common, as the molecules are rigidly and densely packed in the crystals and the original framework usually collapses once solvent is removed from the structure. However, in rare cases the host framework remains substantially unaffected by solvent (guest) removal yielding structure with open channels or discrete lattice voids that can show permanent porosity. [1] Furthermore, sometimes happens, the desolvation process proceeds as single-crystal to single-crystal transformation resulting in distortion and sliding of the structure, changes in conformation, coordination modes and/or space group. Here we would like to present crystallographic study and thermal analysis on the dehydration process of the crystalline supramolecular complex between macrocyclic host cucurbit[6]uril and dopamine. In the solid state the 1:1 host-guest complex assembles into hexameric tubes with water-filled interior channels. Another set of water channels is created between three neighboring tubes in the crystal lattice. The crystals of such supramolecular assembly are not stable when out from mother solution and immediately start to loose water upon exposure to air. However, despite severe cracking the crystals dried in air maintained their integrity and still gave satisfactory diffraction pattern. The X-ray analysis showed significant decrease in the unit cell volume of the partially dehydrated crystals that corresponds to the liberation of some of the water molecules from the channels. Moreover, the reorganization of dopamine guest molecules has occurred in the crystal lattice as a response to the escape of water molecules from the structure. The partial dehydration and reorganization of the supramolecular framework proceeds via a single-crystal to single-crystal mechanism.

One nickel 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate coordination polymers, Ni2 [(O10C6H4)(COO)2].2H2O  (I), was hydrothermally synthesized from an aqueous solution of Ni (NO3)2.6H2O, (1,4-CDC) (1,4-CDC = 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid) and tetramethylammonium nitrate. Compound (I) crystallizes in the monoclinic system with the C2/m space group. The unit cell parameters are a = 20.1160 (16) Å, b = 9.9387 (10) Å, c = 6.3672 (6) Å, β = 97.007 (3) (°), V= 1263.5 (2) (Å3) and Dx= 1.751g/cm3. The refinement converged into R= 0.036 and RW = 0.092. The structure, determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, consists of two nickel atoms Ni (1) and Ni (2). Lots of ways of which is surrounded by six oxygen atoms, a carboxyl group and two water molecules.

Crystal structure of hexylammonium anthracene-9-carboxylate was investigated. The salt was arranged by a one-dimensional hydrogen bond network to form a columnar structure in the crystalline state. This columnar structure should be the model of fibrous assemblies in the organogels of anthracene-9-carboxylate alkylammonium salts having a long alkyl chain.

AbstractThe structure of aq. sodium acetate solution (CH3COONa, NaOAc) was studied by X-ray scattering and density function theory (DFT). For the first hydrated layer of Na+, coordination number (CN) between Na+ and O(W, I) decreases from 5.02 ± 0.85 at 0.976 mol/L to 3.62 ± 1.21 at 4.453 mol/L. The hydration of carbonyl oxygen (OC) and hydroxyl oxygen (OOC) of CH3COO− were investigated separately and the OC shows a stronger hydration bonds comparing with OOC. With concentrations increasing, the hydration shell structures of CH3COO− are not affected by the presence of large number of ions, each CH3COO− group binds about 6.23 ± 2.01 to 7.35 ± 1.73 water molecules, which indicates a relatively strong interaction between CH3COO− and water molecules. The larger uncertainty of the CN of Na+ and OC(OOC) reflects the relative looseness of Na-OC and Na-OOC ion pairs in aq. NaOAc solutions, even at the highest concentration (4.453 mol/L), suggesting the lack of contact ion pair (CIP) formation. In aq. NaOAc solutions, the so called “structure breaking” property of Na+ and CH3COO− become effective only for the second hydration sphere of bulk water. The DFT calculations of CH3COONa (H2O)n=5–7 clusters suggest that the solvent-shared ion pair (SIP) structures appear at n = 6 and become dominant at n = 7, which is well consistent with the result from X-ray scattering.

Crystals of new silicate-germanate Rb1.66Cs1.34Tb[Si5.43Ge0.57O15]·H2O have been synthesized hydrothermally in a multi-component system TbCl3:GeO2:SiO2 = 1:1:5 at T = 280 °C and P = 100 atm. K2CO3, Rb2CO3 and Cs2CO3 were added to the solution as mineralizers. The crystal structure was solved using single crystal X-ray data: a = 15.9429(3), b = 14.8407(3), c = 7.2781(1) Å, sp. gr. Pbam. New Rb,Cs,Tb-silicate-germanate consists of a [Si5.43Ge0.57O15]∞∞ corrugated tetrahedral layer combined by isolated TbO6 octahedra into the mixed microporous framework as in synthetic K3Nd[Si6O15]·2H2O, K3Nd[Si6O15] and K3Eu[Si6O15]·2H2O with the cavities occupied by Cs, Rb atoms and water molecules. Luminescence spectrum on new crystals was obtained and analysed. A comparison with the other representatives of related layered natural and synthetic silicates was carried out based on the topology-symmetry analysis by the OD (order-disorder) approach. The wollastonite chain was selected as the initial structural unit. Three symmetrical ways of forming ribbon from such a chain and three ways of further connecting ribbons to each other into the layer were revealed and described with symmetry groupoids. Hypothetical structural variants of the layers and ribbons in this family were predicted.

[{Hg(CF3)2}(ThpH)(H2O)](H2O) (1), [{Hg4(Thp)4}(ClO4)4(H2O)8](H2O)4 (2), [{Hg(ThpH)2} (NO3)](NO3) (3) and {Hg(Thp)Cl}(H2O) (4) (ThpH = theophylline, C7H8N4O2) have been synthesized by slow evaporation of aqueous solutions of the mercuric salts Hg(CF3)2, Hg(ClO4)2, Hg(NO3)2, or HgCl2 and theophylline. Their crystal structures were determined on the basis of single crystal X-ray data. The coordination polymers 1 and 2 crystallize with triclinic symmetry, P1̅ (no. 2), with a = 468.8(2), b = 1256.4(5), c = 1445.5(6) pm, α = 67.15(3), β = 89.21(3), γ = 89.40(3)° and a = 833.6(1), b = 1862.7(2), c = 2182.9(2) pm, α = 111.61(1), β = 90.98(1), γ = 95.51(1)°, respectively. 3 and 4 crystallize with monoclinic symmetry, Pc (no. 7), a =1194.1(1), b=1258.8(2), c=735.5(2) pm, β =96.96(2)° and P21/n (no. 14), a=1069.0(2), b =911.6(1), c=1089.9(2) pm and β = 96.87(2)°. In 1 the theophylline molecules are non-coordinating to mercury and leave the Hg(CF3)2 molecule unchanged. Only weak electrostatic attractions to one keto-oxygen atom of theophylline and one water molecule hold this co-crystallisate together. In 2, the theophyllinate anion, Thp−, strongly coordinates with both N(7) and N(9) to HgII forming a large ring with eight Hg atoms that incorporates the water molecules. One sort of nitrate ions in 3 is weakly attached to HgII with the theophylline molecules still bound strongly through N(9). The chloride ligand and the theophyllinate ion seem to have the same strengths as ligands in 4 as they are both attached to HgII with the shortest distances possible
