Rational Design of a Novel Intercalation System. Layer-Gap Control of Crystalline Coordination Polymers, {[Cu(CA)(H(2)O)(m)()](G)}(n)() (m = 2, G = 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine and Phenazine; m = 1, G = 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-Octahydrophenazine).
New copper(II) intercalation compounds, {[Cu(CA)(H(2)O)(2)](G)}(n)() (H(2)CA = chloranilic acid; G = 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (dmpyz) (1a and 1b) and phenazine (phz) (2)) have been synthesized and characterized. 1acrystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr;, with a = 8.028(2) Å, b = 10.269(1) Å, c = 4.780(2) Å, alpha = 93.85(3) degrees, beta = 101.01(2) degrees, gamma = 90.04(3) degrees, and Z = 1. 1b crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr;, with a = 8.010(1) Å, b = 10.117(1) Å, c = 5.162(1) Å, alpha = 94.40(1) degrees, beta = 97.49(1) degrees, gamma = 112.64(1) degrees, and Z = 1. 2crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr;, with a = 8.071(1) Å, b = 11.266(1) Å, c = 4.991(1) Å, alpha = 97.80(1) degrees, beta = 99.58(1) degrees, gamma = 83.02(1) degrees, and Z = 1. For all the compounds, the crystal structures consist of one dimensional [Cu(CA)(H(2)O)(2)](m)() chains and uncoordinated guest molecules (G). Each copper atom for 1a, 1b, and 2 displays a six-coordinate geometry with the two bis-chelating CA(2)(-) anions and water molecules, providing an infinite, nearly coplanar linear chains running along the a-direction. Theses chains are linked by hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water and the oxygen atoms of CA(2)(-) on the adjacent chain, forming extended layers, which spread out along the ac-plane. The guest molecules are intercalated in between the {[Cu(CA)(H(2)O)(2)](k)()}(l)() layers, just like pillars, which are supported with N.H(2)O hydrogen bonding. The guest molecules are stacked each other with an interplanar distance of ca. 3.2 Å along the c-axis perpendicular to the [Cu(CA)(H(2)O)(2)](m)() chain. The EHMO band calculations of intercalated dmpyz and phz columns show an appreciable band dispersion of phz pi (b(2g) and b(3g)) and dmpyz pi (b(g)), indicative of the importance of planar pi structure for the formation of the intercalated structure. The distances of O-H---N (guest molecules) fall within the range 2.74-2.80 Å, insensitive to the guest, whereas the interlayer distances increase in the order 9.25 Å (1b), 10.24 Å (1a), and 11.03 Å (2). The degree in lengthening the distance correlates well with the size of a molecule, indicative of the stability of the 2-D sheet structure and the flexibility of the sheet packing. The magnetic susceptibilities were measured from 2 to 300 K and analyzed by a one-dimensional Heisenberg-exchange model to yield J = -1.83 cm(-)(1), g = 2.18 (1a), J = -0.39 cm(-)(1), g = 2.14 (1b), and J = -1.84 cm(-)(1), g = 2.18 (2). The absolute value of J is smaller than that value for [Cu(CA)](n)(), which has a planar ribbon structure suggesting that the magnetic orbital d(x)()()2(-)(y)()()2 is not parallel to the chloranilate plane. For comparison with phz another type of copper(II) coordination compound, {[Cu(CA)(H(2)O)](ohphz)}(n)() (ohphz = 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-octahydrophenazine (7)) has also been obtained. 7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm with a = 7.601(2) Å, b = 13.884(2) Å, c = 17.676(4) Å, and Z = 4. Nonplanar ohphz molecules are in between [Cu(CA)(H(2)O)(2)](m)() chains with the N.H(2)O hydrogen bonding in a fashion parallel to the chain direction. The copper atom shows a five-coordinate square-pyramidal configuration with two CA and one water molecule, thus affording no hydrogen bonding links between chains, dissimilar to 1a, 1b, and 2. The magnetic susceptibilities yield J = -10.93 cm(-)(1) and g = 2.00, comparable to that of the four-coordinate [Cu(CA)](n)(). On this basis both hydrogen bonding and stack capability of a guest molecule is responsible for building the unique intercalated structure such as is seen in 1a, 1b, and 2.
