Combination of lacunary polyoxometalates and high-nuclear transition metal clusters under hydrothermal conditions. 3. Structure and characterization of [Cu(enMe)2]2{[Cu(enMe)2(H2O)]2[Cu6(enMe)2(B-a-SiW9O34)2]}.4H2O.
A novel sandwich-type polyoxometalate incorporating a unique hybrid hexanuclear copper cluster, [Cu(enMe)2]2{[Cu(enMe)2(H2O)]2[Cu6(enMe)2(B-a-SiW9O34)2]}.4H2O (1, enMe=1,2-diaminopropane), has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by the elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, TG analysis, magnetic properties, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystal data for 1: triclinic, P; a=12.5105(2), b=14.3710(2), c=17.2687(2) A; alpha=98.834(1), beta=110.744(1), gamma=104.711(1) degrees; V=2704.57(7) A3; rho=3.646 g/cm3; Z=1. X-ray crystallographic study shows that the molecular structure of 1 contains 10 copper ions: Six of them form an unprecedented inorganic-organic hybrid Cu6 cluster via edge-sharing combination of two CuO6 octahedra, two CuO5, and two CuO3N2 square pyramids and are encapsulated between two {B-a-SiW9O34} units. Two of them form two [Cu(enMe)2(H2O)]2+ complexes and further attach to the two {B-a-SiW9O34} units via two Cu-O=W bridges, acting as a decorated role. The remaining two form isolated [Cu(enMe)2]2+ complexes playing roles of charge-compensation and space-fillers. Magnetization measurement reveals that the hexanuclear copper cluster exhibits overall ferromagnetic interactions.
