AbstractIn our efforts to investigate the influence of alkali-metal ions on the formation of metal complexes with polyhalogen-substituted benzenedicarboxylates, two manganese(II) complexes of tetrachlorophthalic acid (1,2-H2BDC-Cl4), [Mn2(1,2-BDC-Cl4)2(H2O)9]·H2O (1) and [MnK2(1,2-BDC-Cl4)2(H2O)4]n (2), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies have revealed that complexes 1 and 2 crystallize in space groups P1̅ and Pbcn, respectively. Complex 1 shows a discrete dinuclear structure, while complex 2 features a two-dimensional heterometallic framework containing rare Mn–O–K linkages. The results clearly suggest that the introduction of alkali metal ions does play a critical role in the construction of complexes 1 and 2 with distinct dimensionality and connectivity. Their spectroscopic, thermal, and fluorescence properties have also been studied briefly.

The intercalation of alkali metal ions into carbon-based aromatic systems is of great interest in materials science due to the increased need for stable anode materials with high capacity of energy storage. Currently, graphite, a sp2-hybirdized carbon network, is the key anode component in rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Carbon allotropes with nonplanar π-surfaces, ranging from fullerenes to nanotubes, are now under investigation as prospective anode materials. The curved carbon networks of fullerenes and nanotubes are often modeled by open bowl-shaped polyaromatic hydrocarbons, such as the smallest curved fullerene fragment, corannulene (C20H10). One of the most fascinating properties of such bowl-shaped polyarenes and fullerenes is their ability to reversibly uptake and delocalize extra electrons upon multi-electron reduction without significant rearrangement and deformation of their carbon framework [1,2]. Notably, the anode material fabricated from corannulene shows a high reversible lithium capacity (602 mAh/g). This is almost twice as high as the theoretical capacity of the commonly used fully lithiated planar graphite material (LiC6, 372 mAh/g). In our work, we target the X-ray structural elucidation of metal intercalation patterns of carbon-rich curved polyarenes with light alkali metal ions, such as Li and Na, and compare those with extended planar polyaromatic systems. Recently, we expanded this study to the light alkaline earth metal, Mg, as its atomic radius is very close to that of Li. In addition, magnesium is cost effective and abundant, and thus presents great interest in the emerging energy storage technologies.

Abstract The unoccupied electronic structure of the spin crossover molecule cobalt (II) N-(2-pyrazylcarbonyl)-2-pyrazinecarboxamide, [Co(dpzca)2] was investigated, using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and compared with magnetometry (SQUID) measurements. The temperature dependence of the XAS and molecular magnetic susceptibility χmT are in general agreement for [Co(dpzca)2], and consistent with density functional theory (DFT). This agreement of magnetic susceptibility and X-ray absorption spectroscopy provides strong evidence that the changes in magnetic moment can be ascribed to changes in electronic structure. Calculations show the choice of Coulomb correlation energy U has a profound effect on the electronic structure of the low spin state, but has little influence on the electronic structure of the high spin state. In the temperature dependence of the XAS, there is also evidence of an X-ray induced excited state trapping for [Co(dpzca)2] at 15 K.
