title: Formation of coordination polymers or discrete adducts via reactions of gadolinium(III)-copper(II) 15-metallacrown-5 complexes with polycarboxylates: synthesis, structures and magnetic properties.
abstract: Reactions of the copper(II)-gadolinium(III) 15-metallacrown-5 complex [GdCu5(Glyha)5(NO3)2(H2O)6](NO3) (Glyha(2-) = dianion of glycinehydroxamic acid) with different di/tricarboxylates (1,3-phthalate, 1,4-phthalate, biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate, citrate) resulted in formation of different types of products: {[(GdCu5(Glyha)5(H2O)2)(GdCu5(Glyha)5(H2O)3)(1,3-bdc)3]·16H2O}n (1), {[(GdCu5(Glyha)5(H2O)3)2(1,4-bdc)2](1,4-bdc)·8H2O}n (2), {[(GdCu5(Glyha)5(H2O)4)2(1,4-bdc)3]·8H2O}n (3), [GdCu5(Glyha)5(Citr)(H2O)4]·7H2O (4), {[GdCu5(Glyha)5(H2O)5](μ2-CO3)[Cu(Fgg)]}·7H2O (5) and [Cu(Gly)2(H2O)]n (6) (where bdc(2-) is the corresponding phthalate (benzenedicarboxylate), Citr(3-) is citrate, Fgg(3-) is the trianion of [(N-formylaminoacetyl)amino]acetic acid and Gly(-) is glycinate). Complexes 1-5 contain the [GdCu5(Glyha)5](3+) cation. Complexes 2 and 3 possess the same composition but differ by the mode of p-phthalate coordination to the [GdCu5(Glyha)5](3+) unit. In compounds 1-3, metallacrown cations are linked by the corresponding phthalates in 1D, 1D and 2D polymers, respectively, whereas 4 and 5 are discrete molecules. Compound 5 is the product of a multistep reaction, which finally involves atmospheric CO2 capture. Hydrolysis of hydroxamate in this reaction is confirmed by isolation of a mononuclear copper glycine complex 6. The χMT vs T data for 1 were fitted using a model based on the Hamiltonian Ĥ (GdCu5) = -2J1(S1 × SGd + S2 × SGd + S3 × SGd + S4 × SGd + S5 × SGd) - 2J2(S1 × S2 + S2 × S3 + S3 × S4 + S4 × S1 + S5 × S1. The best fit corresponded to J1 = +0.60(2) cm(-1), J2 = -61.0(5) cm(-1) and zJ' = -0.035(4) cm(-1). Complex 1 is the first example of a 15-metallacrown-5 system, for which numerical values of exchange parameters have been reported. The isotherm for methanol absorption by compound 1 at 293 K was typical for microporous sorbents, whereas ethanol sorption was negligibly small.
