RESUMEN
What happens when kidney stone clearance is not feasible? We report the case of a 46-year-old male who presented for review with bilateral congenital non-obstructive calyceal dilatation (megacalycosis) and high volume bilateral renal calculi in the setting of stage four chronic kidney disease. Since complete stone clearance was deemed futile, thus a consensus was made between Urology and Nephrology, and treatment goals were focused on addressing symptoms, preserving renal function and preventing urinary tract infections until renal transplantation is needed. This case highlights that for some patients with severe complex kidney stone disease, an alternative management plan is needed.
RESUMEN
The surface of superparamagnetic silica coated iron oxide (Fe3O4@SiO2) nanoparticles was functionalized with a disulfide bond linked N-hydroxysuccinimidyl (NHS) ester group in order to develop a method for labeling primary amines in peptides/proteins. The nanoparticle labeled proteins/peptides formed after NHS ester reaction with the primary amine groups were isolated using a magnet without any additional purification step. Nanoparticle moieties conjugated to peptides/proteins were then trimmed by cleavage at the disulfide linker with a reducing agent. The labeled peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS to determine their sequences and the sites of NHS ester labeling. This novel approach allowed characterization of lysine residues on the solvent accessible surface of native bovine serum albumin. Low cost, rapid magnetic separation, and specificity toward primary amine groups make NHS ester coated Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles a potential labeling probe to study proteins on living cell surfaces.

We report a simple one-pot strategy to prepare surface-function-alized, water-dispersible iron oxide nanoparticles. Small organic molecules that have desired functional groups such as amines, carboxylics, and thiols are chosen as capping agents and are injected into the reaction medium at the end of the synthesis. A diversity of functionalities are effectively introduced onto the surface of the nanoparticles with a minimal consumption of solvents and chemical resources by simply switching the capping ligand to form the ligand shell. The resulting nanocrystals are quasi-spherical and narrowly size-distributed. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies suggest a successful surface modification of iron oxide nanoparticles with selected functionalities. The colloidal stabilities are characterized by dynamic light scattering and zeta potential measurements. The results imply that functionalized nanoparticles are very stable and mostly present as individual units in buffer solutions. The pedant functional groups of the capping ligand molecules are very reactive, and their availabilities are investigated by covalently linking fluorescent dyes to the nanoparticles through the cross-linking of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride. The quenched quantum yield and shortened lifetime of the dyes strongly indicate a direct bonding between the functional group of the nanoparticles and the fluorescent molecules.

A series of organic-inorganic hybrid materials of the copper(II)-molybdophosphonate family have been prepared using conventional hydrothermal conditions. The reactions of MoO(3), copper(II) acetate, bipyrimidine (bpyr), a phosphonic acid, and water at temperatures below 160 degrees C and in the presence of a mineralizer such as acetic acid or HF provided crystalline samples of materials of the general class {Cu(2)(bpyr)}(4+)/Mo(x)O(y)-phosphonate. The recurrent themes of the structures are the presence of the binuclear {Cu(2)(bpyr)}(4+) and pentanuclear {Mo(5)O(15)(O(3)PR)(2)}(4-) building blocks. For the alkylphosphonate-containing materials, [{Cu(2)(bpyr)(2)}Mo(5)O(15)(O(3)PCH(3))(2)].2.5H(2)O (1.2.5H(2)O) is two-dimensional and exhibits {Cu(bpyr)}(n)(2n+) chains, while [{Cu(2)(bpyr)(H(2)O)}Mo(5)O(15)(O(3)PCH(2)CH(3))(2)] (2) is three-dimensional. The diphosphonate series of materials {{Cu(2)(bpyr)}(4+)[Mo(5)O(15){O(3)P(CH(2))(n)PO(3)}](4-) with n = 2-6 (4, 5, 7-9) in all cases contain the characteristic [Mo(5)O(15){O(3)P(CH(2))(n)PO(3)}](n)(2n+) chains, linked through {Cu(2)(bpyr)}(4+) rods into three-dimensional frameworks. When n = 1, the three-dimensional phase [{Cu(2)(bpyr)}MoO(2)(HO(3)PCH(2)PO(3))(2)].2H(2)O (3.2H(2)O) is obtained, the exclusive example of a structure constructed from isolated {MoO(6)} polyhedra rather than pentamolybdate clusters. The Ni(II)-containing phase [{Ni(2)(bpyr)(H(2)O)(4)}Mo(5)O(15){O(3)P(CH(2))(3)PO(3)}].9H(2)O (6.9H(2)O) was also prepared and compared to the structure of the Cu(II) analogue, [{Cu(2)(bpyr)(H(2)O)(4)}Mo(5)O(15){O(3)P(CH(2))(3)PO(3)}].3H(2)O (5.3H(2)O). Magnetic susceptibility studies of the compounds revealed that the magnetic behavior was consistent in all cases with antiferromagnetically coupled dimers. However, the magnitude of the exchange coupling was clearly dependent on the orientation of the M(II) mean equatorial or basal planes relative to the bipyrimidine plane. Thus, when the metal and bipyrimidine planes are nearly coplanar, the J values are in the -77 to -87 cm(-1) range, while J values of -2 to -5 cm(-1) are observed for the compounds with out-of-plane orientations.

The products of the reactions of copper(II) starting materials with 4-pyridyltetrazole (4-Hpt) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)/methanol solutions are determined by the anion identity and concentration. In the absence of chloride, the 3-D open-framework material [Cu(3)(OH)(3)(4-pt)(3)(DMF)(4)].5DMF.3MeOH (1.5DMF.3MeOH) is isolated, while variations in the chloride concentration yield the 2-D and 3-D materials, 2 and 3, respectively. All three structures exhibit trinuclear copper(II) building blocks: the triangular {Cu(3)(mu(3)-OH)}(5+) core in 1 and {Cu(3)Cl(4)(4-pt)(4)(4-Hpt)(2)}(2-) and {Cu(3)Cl(2)(4-pt)(8)}(4-) chains in 2 and 3, respectively. All three materials display microporosity, which is highly dependent on the method of sample preparation.

The hydrothermal reactions of NH4VO3 with the aromatic phosphonate ligands 1,4-, 1,3-, and 1,2-phenylenediphosphonic acids (H4L1, H4L3, H4L4, respectively); biphenyl-4,4'-diyldiphosphonic acid (H4L2); and 1,3,5-tris(phenyl)-4,4'-triphosphonic acid (H6L5) yielded materials of the V(x)O(y)/organophosphonate family [VO(H2L1)] (1), [VO(H2L2)] (2), [V2O2(H2O)2(L3)] x 1.5 H2O (3 x 1.5 H2O), [V2O2(H2O)2(L4)] x 2 H2O (4 x 2 H2O), and [V3O3(OH)(H3L5)2] x 7.5 H2O (6 x 7.5 H2O). The reactions were carried out in the presence of HF, and in one case, fluoride was incorporated to provide [V2F(OH)(H2O)3(L4)] x 2.25 H2O (5 x 2.25 H2O). The materials exhibit diverse structural chemistry, including the prototypical buttressed layer architecture for 1 and 2, a complex three-dimensional structure for 3, and unique two-dimensional structures for 4, 5, and 6. The structures of this oxovanadium-arylphosphonate family are quite distinct from those previously described for the V(x)O(y)/alkyldiphosphonate series.
RESUMEN
Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) coated iron nanoparticles which show well-defined core-shell structures have been successfully synthesized in a polar aprotic solvent. In this approach, PVP was employed not as capping agent, but as coating polymer directly applied to the metallic (iron) core nanoparticles. The morphologies, structures, compositions and magnetic properties of the products were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), SQUID magnetometry and FTIR spectroscopy.

Treatment of preformed magnetite nanoparticles with ultrasound in aqueous media with dissolved tetrachloroauric acid resulted in the formation of gold-magnetite nanocomposite materials. These materials maintained the morphology of the original magnetite particles. The loading of gold particles could be controlled by adjusting experimental parameters, including the addition of small amounts of solvent modifiers such as methanol, diethylene glycol, and oleic acid. The nanocomposite materials were magnetic and exhibited optical properties similar to pure gold nanoparticles.
RESUMEN
Hydrothermal conditions have been used in the preparation of a series of organic-inorganic hybrid materials of the cobalt-molybdophosphonate family. The reactions of MoO(3), cobalt(II) acetate or cobalt(II) acetylacetonate, tetra-2-pyridylpyrazine (tpyprz), and organodiphosphonic acids H(2)O(3)P(CH(2))nPO(3)H(2) (n = 1-5 and 9) of varying tether lengths yielded compounds of the general type {Co(2)(tpyprz)(H(2)O)(m)}4+/MoxOy{O(3)P(CH(2))(n)PO(3)}z. The recurring theme of the structural chemistry is the incorporation of {Mo(5)O(15)(O(3)PR)(2)}(4-) clusters as molecular building blocks observed in the structures of nine phases (compounds 2-9 and 11). The structural consequences of variations in reaction conditions are most apparent in the series with propylene diphosphonate, where four unique structures 4-7 are observed, including two distinct three-dimensional architectures for compounds 5 and 6 whose formulations differ only in the number of water molecules of crystallization. With pentyldiphosphonate, a second phase 10 is obtained which exhibits a unique cluster building block, the hexamolybdate [Mo(6)O(18){O(3)P(CH(2))(5)PO(3)}](4-). In the case of methylenediphosphonic acid, a third structural motif, the trinuclear {(Mo(3)O(8))(O(3)PCH(2)PO(3))}2- subunit, is observed in compound 1. The structural chemistry of compounds 1-11 of this study is quite distinct from that of the {Ni(2)(tpyprz)(H(2)O)(m)}(4+)/Mo(x)O(y){O(3)P(CH(2))(n)PO(3)}z family, as well as that of the copper-based family. The structural diversity of this general class of materials reflects the coordination preferences of the M(II) sites, the extent of aqua ligation to the M(II) sites, the participation of both phosphate oxygen atoms and molybdate oxo-groups in linking to the M(II) sites, and the variability in the number of attachment sites at the molybdophosphonate clusters. Since the charge densities at the peripheral oxygen atoms of the clusters are quite uniform, the attachment of {M(2)(tpyprz)}(4+) subunits to the molybdophosphonates appears to be largely determined by steric, coulombic, and packing factors, as shown by extensive density functional theory calculations.
RESUMEN
Silica-coated Indium oxide nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by a modified reverse microemulsion method and characterized by TEM, XRD, EDS and luminescence spectrometer; the single crystal particles are encapsulated by a smooth and uniform silica shell (average size approximately 35 nm in diameter) and show photoluminescence property. The size of the particles and the thickness of the shells can be controlled by adjust the ratio of the reaction agents. The physical structure and optical property of Indium oxide particles remain same during the silica coating process.

A systematic study of the formation of silica-coated magnetite particles via a modified reverse microemulsion approach was investigated by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The results show that the surfactant Igepal CO-520 played an important role in the reaction system, and the thickness of the silica shell could be controlled by the concentration of the reaction agents. The developed ultra-thin silica-coated magnetic particles with a â¼2 nm thin silica shell have a high saturated magnetization around 15 emu g(-1).
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of coating thickness on the relaxivity of iron oxide nanoparticles. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Monocrystalline superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs), coated with a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified, phospholipid micelle coating, with different PEG molecular weights, were prepared. The particle diameters were measured with dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electron microscopy (EM). The R1 and R2 of MIONs were measured using a bench-top nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometer. pH was varied for some measurements. Monte Carlo simulations of proton movement in a field with nanometer-sized magnetic inhomogeneities were performed. RESULTS: Increasing the molecular weight of the PEG portion of the micelle coating increased overall particle diameter. As coating thickness increases, the R2 decreases and the R1 increases. Changing pH has no effect on relaxivity. The Monte Carlo simulations suggest that the effect of coating size on R2 relaxivity is determined by two competing factors: the physical exclusion of protons from the magnetic field and the residence time for protons within the coating zone. CONCLUSION: Coating thickness can significantly impact the R2, and the R2/R1 ratio, of a MION contrast agent. An understanding of the relationship between coating properties and changes in relaxivity is critical for designing magnetic nanoparticle probes for molecular imaging applications using MRI.

Hydrothermal reactions of solutions containing a vanadate source, an organodiphosphonate, an organonitrogen component, and HF (V/P/O/F) yield a series of oxyfluorovanadium-diphosphonates with charge-compensation provided by organoammonium cations or hydronium cations. While V/P/O/F networks provide the recurrent structural motif, the linkage between the layers and the details of the polyhedral connectivities within the layers are quite distinct for the five structures of this study. [H2pip][V4F4O2(H2O)2{O3P(CH2)3PO3}2] (1) (pip = piperazine) is a conventional three-dimensional (3D) "pillared" layer structure, whose V/P/O/F networks are buttressed by the propylene chains of the diphosphonate ligands. In contrast, [H2en][V2O2F2(H2O)2{O3P(CH2)4PO3}] (2) and [H2en]2[V6F12(H2O)2{O3P(CH2)5PO3}2 {HO3P(CH2)5PO3H}] (3) are two-dimensional (2D) slablike structures constructed of pairs of V/P/O/F networks sandwiching the pillaring organic tethers of the diphosphonate ligands. Despite the common overall topology, the layer substructures are quite different: isolated {VO5F} octahedra in 2 and chains of corner-sharing {VO(3)F(3)} octahedra in 3. The 3D structure of [H2en]2[V7O6F4(H2O)2{O3P(CH2)2PO3}4].7H2O (4.7H2O) exhibits a layer substructure that contains the ethylene bridges of the diphosphonate ligands and are linked through corner-sharing octahedral {VO6} sites. The connectivity requirements provide large channels that enclose readily removed water of crystallization. The structure of [H3O][V3F2(H2O)2{O3P(CH2)2PO3}2].3.5H2O (5.3.5H2O) is also 3D. Because of the similiarity with 4.7H2O, it exhibits V/P/O/F layers that include the organic tethers of the diphosphonates and are linked through corner-sharing {VO6} octahedra. In contrast to the network substructure of 4.7H2O, which contains binuclear and trinuclear vanadium clusters, the layers of 5.3.5 H2O are constructed from chains of corner-sharing {VO4F2} octahedra. Thermal studies of the open framework materials 4 and 5 reveal that incorporation of fluoride into the inorganic substructures provides robust scaffoldings that retain their crystallinity to 450 degrees C and above. In the case of 4, dehydration does not change the powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the material, which remains substantially unchanged to 450 degrees C. In the case of 5, there are two dehydration steps, that is, the higher temperature process associated with loss of coordinated water. This second dehydration results in structural changes as monitored by powder X-ray diffraction, but this new phase is retained to ca. 450 degrees C. The materials of this study exhibit a range of reduced oxidation states: 1 is mixed valence V(IV)/V(III) while 2 and 4.7H(2)O are exclusively V(IV) and 3 and 5.3.5H2O are exclusively V(III). These oxidation states are reflected in the magnetic properties of the materials. The paramagnetism of 1 arises from the presence of V(III) and V(IV) sites and conforms to the Curie-Weiss law with C = 2.38 em K/(Oe mol) and = -66 K with mu(eff) (300 K) = 4.33 mu(B). Compounds 3-5 exhibit Curie-Weiss law dependence of magnetism on temperature with mu(eff) (300 K) = 5.45 mu(B) for 3 (six V(III) sites), mu(eff) = 4.60 mu(B) for 4 (seven V(IV) sites) and mu(eff) = 4.13 mu(B) for 5 (two V(III) sites). Compound 2 exhibits antiferromagnetic interactions, and the magnetism may be described in terms of the Heisenberg linear antiferromagnetic chain model for V(IV). The effective magnetic moment at 300 K is 2.77 mu(B) (two V(IV) sites).
RESUMEN
The hydrothermal reactions of a vanadium source, an appropriate diphosphonate ligand, and water in the presence of HF provide a series of compounds with neutral V-P-O networks as the recurring structural motif. When the {O3P(CH2)(n)PO3}4- diphosphonate tether length n is 2-5, metal-oxide hybrids of type 1, [V2O2(H2O){O3P(CH2)(n)PO3}] x xH2O, are isolated. The type 1 oxides exhibit the prototypical three-dimensional (3-D) "pillared" layer architecture. When n is increased to 6-8, the two-dimensional (2-D) "pillared" slab structure of the type 2 oxides [V2O2(H2O)4{O3P(CH2)6PO3}] is encountered. Further lengthening of the spacer to n = 9 provides another 3-D structure, type 3, constructed from the condensation of pillared slabs to give V-P-O double layers as the network substructure. When organic cations are introduced to provide charge balance for anionic V-P-O networks, oxides of types 4-7 are observed. For spacer length n = 3, a range of organodiammonium cations are accommodated by the same 3-D "pillared" layer oxovanadium diphosphonate framework in the type 4 materials [H3N(CH2)(n)NH3][V4O4(OH)2 {O3P(CH)3PO3}2] x xH2O [n = 2, x = 6 (4a); n = 3, x = 3 (4b); n = 4, x = 2 (4c); n = 5, x = 1 (4d); n = 6, x = 0.5 (4e); n = 7, x = 0 (4f)] and [H3NR]y[V4O4(OH)2 {O3P(CH)3PO3}2] x xH2O [R = -CH2(NH3)CH2CH3, y = 1, x = 0 (4g); R = -CH3, n = 2, x = 3 (4h); R = -CH2CH3, y = 2, x = 1 (4i); R = -CH2CH2CH3, y = 2, x = 0 (4j); cation = [H2N(CH2CH3)2], y = 2, x = 0 (4k)]. These oxides exhibit two distinct interlamellar domains, one occupied by the cations and the second by water of crystallization. Furthermore, as the length of the cation increases, the organodiammonium component spills over into the hydrophilic domain to displace the water of crystallization. When the diphosphonate tether length is increased to n = 5, structure type 5, [H3N(CH2)2NH3][V4O4(OH)2(H2O){O3P(CH2)5PO3}2] x H2O, is obtained. This oxide possesses a 2-D "pillared" network or slab structure, similar in gross profile to that of type 2 oxides and with the cations occupying the interlamellar domain. In contrast, shortening the diphosphonate tether length to n = 2 results in the 3-D oxovanadium organophosphonate structure of the type 7 oxide [H3N(CH2)5NH3][V3O3{O3P(CH2)2PO3}2]. The ethylenediphosphonate ligand does not pillar V-P-O networks in this instance but rather chelates to a vanadium center in the construction of complex polyhedral connectivity of 7. Substitution of piperazinium cations for the simple alkyl chains of types 4, 5, and 7 provides the 2-D pillared layer structure of the type 6 oxides, [H2N(CH2CH2)NH2][V2O2{O3P(CH)(n)PO3H}2] [n = 2 (6a); n = 4 (6b); n = 6 (6c)]. The structural diversity of the system is reflected in the magnetic properties and thermal behavior of the oxides, which are also discussed.

Magnetic, hollow silica nanocomposites (MHSNC), including nanospheres and nanotubes, have been successfully synthesized using a coating of Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) ( approximately 10 nm) and silica on nanosized spherical and nanoneedle-like calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)) surfaces under alkaline conditions. The nanosized CaCO(3) surfaces were used as nanotemplates, and tetraethoxysilane and magnetic NPs were used as precursors. The as-synthesized MHSNC were immersed in an acidic solution to remove the CaCO(3), forming magnetic, hollow silica nanospheres and nanotubes. The MHSNC were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray powder diffraction, and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. SEM and TEM results showed that a smooth surface of MHSNC and a thin layer of silica ( approximately 10 nm) embedded with the magnetic NPs were successfully formed, and that the CaCO(3) nanotemplates appeared to be dissolved. SQUID measurement demonstrated that magnetization of MHSNC was dependent on temperature, exhibiting superparamagnetism. The MHSNC were immersed in ibuprofen solution. The amount of the loaded drug was determined to be 12 wt% for nanospheres, and 8 wt% for nanotubes by UV measurement, respectively. Drug-loaded MHSNC have potential applications in nanomedicine.

Hydrothermal reactions of a vanadate source, an appropriate Cu(II) source, bisterpy and an organodiphosphonate, H2O3P(CH2)nPO3H2(n= 1-5), in the presence of HF, yielded a family of materials of the type oxyfluorovanadium/copper-bisterpy/organodiphosphonate. Under similar reaction conditions, variations in diphosphonate tether length n provided the one-dimensional [{Cu2(bisterpy)}V2F2O2{HO3PCH2PO3}{O3PCH2PO3}](1) and [{Cu2(bisterpy)}V2F4O4{HO3P(CH2)2PO3H}](3), the two-dimensional [{Cu2(bisterpy)}V2F2O2(H2O)2{HO3P(CH2)2PO3}2] x 2H2O (2 x 2H2O), [{Cu2(bisterpy)(H2O2}V2F2O2{O3P(CH2)3PO3}{HO3P(CH2)3PO3H}(4) and [{Cu2(bisterpy)}V4F4O4(OH)(H2O){HO3P(CH2)5PO3}{O3P(CH2)5PO3}] x H2O (9 x H2O) and the three-dimensional [{Cu2(bisterpy)}3V8F6O17{HO3P(CH2)3PO3}4]0.8H2O (5 x 0.8H2O), [{Cu2(bisterpy)}V4F2O6{O3P(CH2)4PO3}2](8) and [{Cu2(bisterpy)(H2O)}2V8F4O8(OH)4{HO3P(CH2)5PO3H}2{O3P(CH2)5PO)}3] x 4.8H2O (10 x 4.8H2O). In addition, two members of the oxovanadium/Cu2(bisterpy)/organodiphosphonate family [{Cu2(bisterpy)}V2O4{HO3P(CH2)3PO3}2](6) and [{Cu2(bisterpy)}3V4O8(OH)2{O3P(CH2)3PO3}2{HO3P(CH2)3PO3}2] x 5H2O (7 x 5H2O) cocrystallized from the reaction mixture which provided 5. The overall architectures reveal embedded substructures based on V/P/O(F) clusters, chains, networks, and frameworks. In contrast to the oxovanadium/Cu2(bisterpy)/ organodiphosphonate family, several of the materials of this study also exhibit the direct condensation of vanadium polyhedra to produce binuclear and/or tetranuclear building units.
RESUMEN
The hydrothermal reactions of a molybdate source, a nickel(II) salt, tetra-2-pyridylpyrazine (tpyprz), and organodiphosphonic acids H(2)O(3)P(CH(2))(n)()PO(3)H(2) (n = 1-5) of varying tether lengths yielded a series of organic-inorganic hybrid materials of the nickel-molybdophosphonate family. A persistent characteristic of the structural chemistry is the presence of the [Mo(5)O(15)(O(3)PR)(2)](4)(-) cluster as a molecular building block, as noted for the one-dimensional materials [[Ni(2)(tpyprz)(2)]Mo(5)O(15)[O(3)P(CH(2))(4)PO(3)]]x6.65H(2)O (6x6.65H(2)O) and [[Ni(2)(tpyprz)(2)]Mo(5)O(15)[O(3)P(CH(2))(5)PO(3)]]x3.75H(2)O (8x3.75H(2)O), the two-dimensional phases [[Ni(4)(tpyprz)(3)][Mo(5)O(15)(O(3)PCH(2)CH(2)PO(3))](2)]x23H(2)O (3x23H(2)O) and [[Ni(3)(tpyprz)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](Mo(5)O(15))(Mo(2)O(4)F(2))[O(3)P(CH(2))(3)PO(3)](2)]x8H(2)O (5x8H(2)O), and the three-dimensional structures [[Ni(2)(tpyprz)(H(2)O)(3)]Mo(5)O(15)[O(3)P(CH(2))(3)PO(3))]]xH(2)O (4xH(2)O) and [[Ni(2)(tpyprz)(H(2)O)(2)]Mo(5)O(15) [O(3)P(CH(2))(4)PO(3)]]x2.25H(2)O (7x2.25H(2)O). In the case of methylenediphosphonic acid, the inability of this ligand to tether adjacent pentanuclear clusters precludes the formation of the common molybdophosphonate building block, manifesting in contrast a second structural motif, the trinuclear [(Mo(3)O(8))(x)(O(3)PCH(2)PO(3))(y)] subunit of [[Ni(tpyprz)(H(2)O)(2)](Mo(3)O(8))(2) (O(3)PCH(2)PO(3))(2)] (1) which had been previously observed in the corresponding methylenediphosphonate phases of the copper-molybdophosphonate family. Methylenediphosphonic acid also provides a second phase, [Ni(2)(tpyprz)(2)][Mo(7)O(21)(O(3)PCH(2)PO(3))]x3.5H(2)O (9x5H(2)O), which contains a new heptamolybdate cluster [Mo(7)O(21)(O(3)PCH(2)PO(3))](4)(-) and a cationic linear chain [Ni(tpyprz)](n)(4n+) substructure. The structural chemistry of the nickel-molybdophosphonate series contrasts with that of the corresponding copper-molybdophosphonate materials, reflecting in general the different coordination preferences of Ni(II) and Cu(II). Consequently, while the Cu(II)-organic complex building block of the copper family is invariably the binuclear [Cu(2)(tpyprz)](4+) subunit, the Ni(II) chemistry with tpyprz exhibits a distinct tendency toward catenation to provide [Ni(3)(tpyprz)(2)](6+), [Ni(4)(tpyprz)(3)](8+), and [Ni(tpyprz)](n)(4n+) building blocks as well as the common [Ni(2)(tpyprz)](4+) moiety. This results in a distinct structural chemistry for the nickel(II)-molybdophosphonate series with the exception of the methylenediphosphonate derivative 1 which is isostructural with the corresponding copper compound [[Cu(2)(tpyprz)(H(2)O)(2)](Mo(3)O(8))(2)(O(3)PCH(2)PO(3))] (2). The structural chemistry of the nickel(II) series also reflects variability in the number of attachment sites at the molybdophosphonate clusters, in the extent of aqua ligation to the Ni(II) tpyprz subunit, and in the participation of phosphate oxygen atoms as well as molybdate oxo groups in linking to the nickel sites.
RESUMEN
A novel series of fully reduced heteropolyoxovanadium(IV) compounds, [MVIV6O6[(OCH2CH2)2N(CH2CH2OH)]6]X (1, M = Li, X = Cl x LiCl; 2, M = Na, X = Cl x H2O; 3, M = Mg, X = 2Br x H2O; 4, M = Mn, X = 2Cl; 5, M = Fe, X = 2Cl; 6, M = Co, X = 2Cl x H2O; 7, M = Ni, X = 2Cl x H2O), have been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis, elemental analysis, manganometric titration, temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements, bond valence sum calculations, X-ray powder diffraction, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The structures of the crystals are comprised of discrete units of fully reduced cluster cations, [MVIV6O6[(OCH2CH2)2N(CH2CH2OH)]6]n+, counterions (chloride or bromide), and water of crystallization (in the case of 2, 3, 6, 7). In each case the cluster ion is composed of a fully reduced cyclic [MV6N6O18] (M = Li, Na, Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) framework decorated with six triethanolamine ligands. Two arms of each triethanolamine ligand are coordinated to the metallacycle, and the third arm projects outward from the hexagonal ring. The [MV6N6O18] core adopts the Anderson-type structure. The cyclic core is comprised of a ring of six edge-sharing [VO5N] octahedra linked to a central [MO6] unit. The hexametalate ring contains six d1 ions [VIV] and shows remarkable flexibility to encapsulate a variety of metal centers Mn+ (Mn+ = Li+, Na+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+) with different (dn) spins. The compounds show good thermal stability and exhibit interesting magnetic properties that make these magnetic clusters promising building blocks for constructing supramolecular structures and extended structure magnetic solids.
