Systematic investigation on the coordination chemistry of a sulfonated monoazo dye: ligand-dominated d- and f-block derivatives.
Ten coordination compounds based on a sulfonated monoazo dye, formulated as M(H(2)O)(2)(4,4'-abs)(2) (M = Mn , Co , Cu , Zn , Cd and Pb ; 4,4'-abs = 4-aminoazobenzene-4'-sulfonic anion), Ag(4,4'-abs) (), [Ln(H(2)O)(phen)(2)(4,4'-abs)(3)].3H(2)O (Ln = Gd , Tb , and Ho ; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), as well as the parent ligand L [(4,4'-Habs)(2).4H(2)O] and precursor NaL.HL [Na(4,4'-abs)(4,4'-Habs)] were successfully isolated. Structural analyses revealed that the structures of compounds, and vary according to the coordination geometries of the metal ions, and vary from double-strand chain structures () to a 3-D pillared-layer framework to mononuclear complexes. The double-strand chain structures of are isostructural, and are built on octahedral metal centers and double bridging 4,4'-abs ligands coordinating via terminal N- and O-donors. The silver-containing compound displays a pillared-layer structure constructed from 4.8(2) silver sulfonate nets pillared by the linear backbones of 4,4'-abs ligands. Compounds , which are also isostructural, possess mononuclear structures consisting of a metal cation, three 4,4'-abs anions, two auxiliary phen ligands, one aqua ligand and three non-coordinated water molecules. Evidence on two series of isostructural compounds indicates that structures of d- and f-block metal derivatives are dominated by the coordination mode of the ligands. The surface chemistry of compound has been investigated based on the LBL (layer-by-layer) technique. The as-synthesized multilayer films with different composite components exhibit different surface behaviours.
