Abstract The delicate balance among conformation, coordination bonds and hydrogen bonding has been probed in solvatomorphs of known metal-organic molecules synthesised from copper(II), cadmium(II) and cobalt(II) with acetate (OAc) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy). The Cu(OAc)2(bipy) complex, isolated as a pentahydrate, has the acetate ligands oriented to opposite sides of the coordination square plane. DFT calculations show the energy difference between this structure and a syn form amount to approximately 16 kJ/mol. The presence of lattice water enables the formation of O–H···O hydrogen bonds with the acetate ligands. Different coordination numbers and energies are found as a function of the number of water molecules co-crystallising in the Cd(OAc)2(bipy)(OH2)·3H2O and [Co(OAc)(bipy)2](OAc)·3H2O complexes.

Two binuclear coordination compounds of Cu(II) chloride with the bitopic ligand 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(pyrazol-1-yl)ethane (Pz4) of the composition [Cu2(µ2Pz4)(DMSO)2Cl4]·4H2O and [Cu2(µ2Pz4)(DMSO)2Cl4]∙2DMSO were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and powder diffraction analysis. It was shown that in contrast to silver(I) and copper(II) nitrates, copper(II) chloride forms discrete complexes instead of coordination polymers. The supramolecular structure of the complex [Cu2(µ2Pz4)(DMSO)2Cl4]·4H2O with lattice water molecules is formed by OH···Cl and OH···O hydrogen bonds. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of vibrational frequencies of the ligand and its copper(II) complex allowed for assigning IR bands to specific vibrations.

AbstractPolycrystalline samples of La- and Lu-agardite with the composition RECu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · n H2O (RE = La, Lu; n≈3) have been prepared and the structure of the products was determined by X-ray powder diffraction studies. The characterization has been complemented by Raman and UV/Vis spectroscopic, magnetic and TGA investigations. DFT calculations support the conclusions drawn from the experiments. The arsenates RECu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · n H2O (RE = La, Lu; n≈3) are isostructural with the mineral mixite and crystallize with a hexagonal structure which contains ribbons of edge-sharing [CuO5] square-pyramids extending along the hexagonal axis. They are interconnected via (AsO4)3− groups to form hexagonal tubes of about 10 Å inner diameter. Such zeolite-like tubes host water molecules, which can be reversibly removed at moderate temperatures (T≈100°C). Like in mixite and YCu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · 3 H2O, the Cu2+ cations in RECu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · n H2O (RE = La, Lu; n≈3) exhibit low-dimensional antiferromagnetic properties, which are subject to changes in the Cu–O–Cu bond lengths and angles due to the lanthanide contraction.

From the DFT calculations, we found the MFI-type zeolite encapsulated Pt metal clusters shows superior stability. The presence of water molecules enhances the interaction between the zeolite framework and the metal clusters, making the configuration more stable.

In this work, we have studied methanol oxidation mechanisms on RuO2(100) by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with some explicit interfacial water molecules.
