Solid-state structures of group 1 and group 2 metal 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonates: systematic investigation of lamellar three-dimensional networks constructed by metal arenedisulfonate.
Seven Group 1 and Group 2 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonates (1,5-nds) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis. For Group 1 metal complexes, with M = Li(+) (1), Na(+) (2) and K(+) (3), all crystallize in the same space group (P2(1)/c) with the same composition, [M(2)(1,5-nds)(H(2)O)(2)]. They adopt similar three-dimensional packing arrangements with the metal-sulfonate inorganic layers pillared by naphthalene rings. However, the coordination behavior of three metal cations toward the SO(3)(-) group and water molecule are different, resulting in different architectures for the inorganic portion. For Group 2 complexes with M = Mg(2+) (4), Ca(2+) (5), Sr(2+) (6) and Ba(2+) (7), Mg(2+) shows no direct coordination by the SO(3)(-) group while Ca(2+) is coordinated by four SO(3)(-) groups and a two-dimensional network is formed. Complexes (6) and (7) are isostructural, adopting the same three-dimensional, inorganic-organic pillared framework as seen for (1)-(3). The coordination behavior of the metal cations in these structures neatly illustrates the increase in coordination strength with decreasing charge/radius ratio for Group 1 and Group 2 metal cations with large organic anions.
