Hydrothermal syntheses and crystal structures of two hybrid materials constructed from polyoxometalate clusters and metal–dipyridine complexes

Two organic–inorganic hybrid microporous compounds with formulas (4,4′-bipy)2[Cu(4,4′-bipy)2{Mo5P2O21(OH)2}]2(H3O)·3(H2O) 1 and (4,4′-bipy)0.5[Cu1.5(4,4′-bipy)4{Mo5P2O21(OH)2}](H3O)·2(H2O) 2 have been hydrothermally prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in a monoclinic system with space group C2/c (no. 15), a = 17.667(3) Å, b = 13.669(3) Å, c = 25.067(5) Å, β = 107.479(3)°, V = 5774.2(18) Å3, and Z = 4. Compound 2 crystallizes in a monoclinic system with space group P21/n (no. 14), a = 13.9590(5) Å, b = 22.4850(7) Å, c = 19.1568(6) Å, β = 97.778(2)°, V = 5957.4(3) Å3, and Z = 4. Compound 1 is three-dimensional (3D), constructed from {Mo5P2O21(OH)2}4− cluster anions bridged through [Cu(4,4′-bipy)2]n2n+ layer sheets. In contrast, compound 2 is also three-dimensional, resulting from a complex connectivity pattern among {Mo5P2O21(OH)2}4− cluster anions, [Cu(4,4′-bipy)2]n2n+ layer sheets and [Cu(4,4′-bipy)4]n2n+ complex subunits. Other characterizations by elemental analysis, IR, thermal analysis, and magnetic properties for the compounds are also given.
