Solid state coordination chemistry: one-, two-, and three-dimensional materials constructed from molybdophosphonate subunits linked through binuclear copper tetra-2-pyridylpyrazine groups.
The hydrothermal reactions of MoO(3), an appropriate Cu(II) source, tetra-2-pyridylpyrazine (tpypyz), and phosphoric acid and/or an organophosphonate yielded a series of organic-inorganic hybrid materials of the copper-molybdophosphonate family. A common feature of the structures is the entrainment within the extended architectures of chemically robust [Mo(5)O(15)(O(3)PR)(2)](4)(-) clusters as molecular building blocks. The cluster is a characteristic feature of the one-dimensional materials [[Cu(2)(tpypyz)(H(2)O)(3)]Mo(5)O(15)(HPO(4))(O(3)PCH(2)CO(2)H)].H(2)O (1.H(2)O) and [[Cu(2)(tpypyz)(H(2)O)]Mo(5)O(15)(O(3)PC(6)H(5))(2)].2H(2)O (2.2H(2)O), the two-dimensional network [[Cu(2)(tpypyz)(H(2)O)(3)]Mo(5)O(15)(HPO(4))(2)].2H(2)O (5.2H(2)O) and the three-dimensional frameworks [[Cu(2)(tpypyz)(H(2)O)(2)]Mo(5)O(15)[O(3)P(CH(2))(n)()PO(3)]].xH(2)O [n = 3, x = 2.25 (6.2.25H(2)O); n = 4, x = 0.33 (7.0.33H(2)O)]. In the case of methylenediphosphonate as the phosphorus component, the unique chelating nature of the ligand precludes formation of the pentamolybdate core, resulting in the chain structures [[Cu(2)(tpypyz)(H(2)O)]Mo(3)O(8) (HO(3)PCH(2)PO(3))(2)].8H(2)O (3.8H(2)O) and [[Cu(2)(tpypyz)(H(2)O)](2)(Mo(3)O(8))(2)(O(3)PCH(2)PO(3))(3)].16.9H(2)O (4.16.9H(2)O). For structures 1-7, the secondary metal-ligand building block is the binuclear [Cu(2)(tpypyz)(H(2)O)(x)](4+) cluster. There is considerable structural versatility as a result of the variability in the number of attachment sites at the phosphomolybdate clusters, the coordination geometry of the Cu(II), which may be four-, five-, or six-coordinate, the extent of aqua ligation, and the participation of phosphate oxygen atoms as well as molybdate oxo groups in bonding to the copper sites.
