Self-selection in the self-assembly of isomeric supramolecular squares from unsymmetrical bis(4-pyridyl)acetylene ligands.

ABSTRACT: A new approach wherein steric interactions between substituents of unsymmetrical bis(4-pyridyl)acetylene ligands dictate the self-selection of single isomers of [4 + 4] self-assembled squares is presented. Each [4 + 4] self-assembly is characterized by multinuclear (31)P and (1)H NMR spectroscopies and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. NMR spectroscopic studies are used to provide a means of evaluating the efficiency of bulky substituents at proximal or remote positions relative to the Pt-N bonding motif to direct self-selection. Molecular modeling using the MMFF force field is utilized to determine the relative energy of different isomers of each assembly, and modeling results reasonably explain the trend in self-selectivity with varying pyridyl substitution.

Project description:Ten coordination polymers constructed from divalent metal salts, polycarboxylic acids, and bis-pyridyl-bis-amide ligands with different donor atom positions and flexibility are reported. They were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The ten coordination polymers are as follows: (1) {[Ni(L¹)(3,5-PDA)(H₂O)₃]·2H₂O}n (L¹ = N,N'-di(3-pyridyl)suberoamide, 3,5-H₂PDA = 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid); (2) {[Ni₂(L¹)₂(1,3,5-HBTC)₂(H₂O)₄]·H₂O}n (1,3,5-H₃BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid); (3) {[Ni(L²)(5-tert-IPA)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O}n (L² = N,N'-di(3-pyridyl)adipoamide, 5-tert-H₂IPA = 5-tert-butylisophthalic acid); (4) [Ni(L³)1.5(5-tert-IPA)]n (L³ = N,N'-di(4-pyridyl)adipoamide); (5) [Co(L¹)(1,3,5-HBTC)(H₂O)]n; (6) {[Co₃(L¹)₃(1,3,5-BTC)₂(H₂O)₂]·6H₂O}n; (7) [Cu(L⁴)(AIPA)]n (L⁴ = N,N'-bis(3-pyridinyl)terephthalamide, H₂AIPA = 5-acetamido isophthalic acid); (8) {[Cu(L²)0.5(AIPA)]·MeOH}n; (9) {[Zn(L⁴)(AIPA)]·2H₂O}n; and (10) {[Zn(L²)(AIPA)]·2H₂O}n. Complex 1 forms a 1D chain and 2 is a two-fold interpenetrated 2D layer with the sql topology, while 3 is a 2D layer with the hcp topology and 4 shows a self-catenated 3D framework with the rare (4²·6⁷·8)-hxg-d-5-C2/c topology. Different Co/1,3,5-H₃BTC ratios were used to prepare 5 and 6, affording a 2D layer with the sql topology and a 2D layer with the (4·8⁵)₂(4)₂(8³)₂(8) topology that can be further simplified to an hcp topology. While complex 7 is a 2D layer with the (4²·6⁷·8)(4²·6)-3,5L2 topology and 8 is a 2-fold interpenetrated 3D framework with the pcu topology, complexes 9 and 10 are self-catenated 3D frameworks with the (424·6⁴)-8T2 and the (4⁴·610·8)-mab topologies, respectively. The effects of the identity of the metal center, the ligand isomerism, and the flexibility of the spacer ligands on the structural diversity of these divalent coordination polymers are discussed. The luminescent properties of 9 and 10 and their photocatalytic effects on the degradation of dyes are also investigated.
