Mn(II) coordination architectures with mixed ligands of 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole and carboxylic acids bearing different secondary coordination donors and pendant skeletons
Graphical abstract
Five new Mn(II) complexes with mixed ligands, 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole and carboxylic acids bearing different secondary coordination donors and pendant skeletons have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Their structures are different mainly due to the different secondary coordination donors and pendant skeletons of the carboxylic acid ligands. In addition, intra- or inter-molecular H-bonding and π⋯π interactions also play important roles in the formations of such complexes, and further link the discrete subunits or low-dimensional entities into high-dimensional supramolecular assemblies.
Introduction
Recently, much efforts have been focused on the crystal engineering of metal-organic coordination architectures owing to their fascinating structural diversities and potential applications as functional materials [1], [2]. The advantage of the metal-organic framework approach is to allow a wide choice of different parameters, including electronic properties and coordination geometry of the metal ions, as well as versatile functions and topologies of organic ligands. In a sense, this is also the aspiration for achieving one of the ultimate aims of crystal engineering, i.e., gaining control of the topology and geometry of the networks formed through judicious choice of ligand and metal precursor geometry [3]. However, the rational design and synthesis of anticipant multi-nuclear discrete coordination architectures or polymeric networks with metal ions (or metal clusters) as nodes and organic ligands as bridges or terminal groups is still at an evolutionary stage with the current focus mainly on understanding the factors to determine the crystal packing [4]. Indeed, besides typical coordination bonding [5], [6], some weak interactions, such as H-bonding [7], [8], [9], [10], [11] and π⋯π [12], [13], [14] interactions also affect the structures of coordination complexes, and they may often link multi-nuclear discrete subunits or low-dimensional entities into high-dimensional supramolecular networks [4].
In this field, very often, the skillful combinations of the chelating ligands, carboxylic acid ligands and metal ions have generated some interesting coordination architectures [4]. In our previous works, 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (L1), and some structurally related pendant carboxylate ligands have been successfully used to construct a series of Cd(II) or Cu(II) complexes with multi-nuclear discrete structures or 1D and 2D frameworks [15]. As a continuation of this study, our idea is to prepare and tune these kinds of metal complexes by carefully selecting two kinds of ligands (Chart 1): (a) 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (L1) and (b) four carboxylic acid ligands [1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H2L2), 4-sulfobenzoic acid (H2L3), quinoline-4-carboxylic acid (HL4) and fumaric acid (H2L5)] with the different secondary coordination groups and/or pendant skeletons. Herein, we report their five new Mn(II) complexes, [Mn(L1)2(SO4)]2 (1) (not introducing carboxylic acid ligand), [Mn(L1)2(L2)]∞ (2), [Mn(L1)(HL3)2]∞ (3), Mn(L1)2(L4)2 (4), and [Mn(L1)2(L5)]∞ (5), and characterized their structures.

Materials and general methods
All the solvents and reagents for synthesis, including H2L2, H2L3, HL4 and H2L5 were commercially available and used as received or prepared by reported procedures. 3-(2-Pyridyl)pyrazole (L1) was synthesized by the literature method [16]. IR spectra were measured on a Tensor 27 OPUS (Bruker) FT-IR spectrometer with KBr pellets.
Synthesis of complexes 1–5
[Mn(L1)2(SO4)]2 (1). Complex 1 was obtained by the reaction of MnSO4 · H2O and 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (L1) in a molar ratio of 1:2 mixed with 12 mL of water under
Synthesis and general characterizations
Complexes 1–5 were synthesized under the hydrothermal conditions and NaOH was introduced to deprotonate for carboxylic acids except 1. The IR spectra for the five complexes show the absorption bands resulting from the skeletal vibrations of the aromatic rings in 1600–1400 cm−1 region. It should be noted that due to the coordination of the pyridyl rings of L1, the strong absorption band at ∼1575 cm−1 (free L1) resulting from the skeletal vibrations of the aromatic rings shifted to ∼1600 cm−1. The
Conclusion and comments
In summary, five new Mn(II) complexes with mixed chelating and bridging ligands have been synthesized under the hydrothermal conditions, displaying a systematic structural variations by the employment of the carboxylic acid ligands with the different secondary coordination donors and pendant skeletons and a 2,2′-bipyridyl-like chelating ligand, 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (L1). These results show that to some extent the structures of such complexes could be adjusted by the secondary coordination

2021, Journal of Colloid and Interface ScienceCitation Excerpt :The DOX showed a slight redshift in the UV spectrum (Figs. S3 and S4), while the binding energy of the Zr 3d in the XPS spectrum moved to a lower level after DOX loading (Fig. S5). The coordination of the Mn2+ and carboxylic groups was investigated using FT-IR, and it was found that the stretching vibration peak of –CO in the carboxyl groups at 1715 cm−1 was weaker in Mn2+&DOX@MOF than in the UiO-66(Zr)-(COOH)2 MOFs (Fig. S6) [36]. Meanwhile, the disappearance of the DOX peaks at 970 and 912 cm−1 indicated the interaction between the Mn2+ and DOX, which was also reported in a previous study [37].

Additionally, the absence of the strong peak at around 1720 cm−1 indicates that the carboxylic acid ligands are all deprotonated [36].

2012, PolyhedronCitation Excerpt :The IR spectra of these compounds show two strong bands at ∼1580 and ∼1390 cm−1 due to the asymmetric and symmetric vibrations of the COO groups. The values of Δ = νa(COO) − νs(COO), being ∼200 cm−1 for compounds 1, 4, 5 and 6, are indicative of carboxylate ligands coordinated in a bidentate bridging mode (μ1,3) [32], while higher values are expected for compound 3, with a monodentate coordination, although hydrogen bonds may decrease this Δ value. Moreover, the presence of COOH groups in compounds 1, 2 and 5 leads to another band at ∼1700 cm−1.
