Thermoelastic-plastic flow equations in general coordinates

The equations governing the thermoelastic-plastic flow of isotropic solids in the Prandtl- Reuss and small anisotropy approximations in Cartesian coordinates are generalized to arbitrary coordinate systems. In applications the choice of coordinates is dictated by the symmetry of the solid flow. Here, the generally invariant equations are evaluated in spherical, cylindrical (including uniaxial), and both prolate and oblate spheroidal coordinates.

Homochiral coordination polymers constructed from aminocarboxylate derivates: Effect of bipyridine on the amidation reaction

Using aminocarboxylate derivates (S)-N-(4-cyanobenzoic)-glutamic acid (denoted as cbg, 1a) and (S)-N-(4-nitrobenzoic)-glutamic acid (denoted as nbg, 1b) as chiral ligands, five new homochiral coordination polymers formulated as [Cu(cbg)(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]{sub n} (3), [Cu(cbop){sub 2}(4,4 Prime -bipy)(H{sub 2}O)]{sub n} (4) (cbop=(S)-N-(4-cyanobenzoic)-5-oxoproline, 4,4 Prime -bipy=4,4 Prime -bipyridine), {l_brace}[Cu(nbop){sub 2}(4,4 Prime -bipy)]{center_dot}4H{sub 2}O{r_brace}{sub n} (5) (nbop=(S)-N-(4-nitrobenzoic)-5-oxoproline), {l_brace}[Cd(nbop){sub 2}(4,4 Prime -bipy)]{center_dot}2H{sub 2}O{r_brace}{sub n} (6), and [Ni(nbop){sub 2}(4,4 Prime -bipy)(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]{sub n} (7) have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized.

Tuning metal–carboxylate coordination in crystalline metal–organic frameworks through surfactant media

Although it has been widely demonstrated that surfactants can efficiently control the size, shape and surface properties of micro/nanocrystals of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) due to the strong interactions between surfactants and crystal facets of MOFs, the use of surfactants as reaction media to grow MOF single crystals is unprecedented. In addition, compared with ionic liquids, surfactants are much cheaper and can have multifunctional properties such as acidic, basic, neutral, cationic, anionic, or even block. These factors strongly motivate us to develop a new synthetic strategy: growing crystalline MOFs in surfactants. In this report, eight new two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) MOFs have been successfully synthesized in an industrially-abundant and environmentally-friendly surfactant: polyethylene glycol-200 (PEG-200). Eight different coordination modes of carboxylates, ranging from monodentate η{sup 1} mode to tetra-donor coordination µ{sub 3}-η{sup 1}:η{sup 2}:η{sup 1} mode, have been founded in our research. The magnetic properties of Co-based MOFs were investigated and MOF NTU-Z6b showed a phase transition with a Curie temperature (T{sub c}) at 5 K. Our strategy of growing crystalline MOFs in surfactant could offer exciting opportunities for preparing novel MOFs with diverse structures and interesting properties. - Graphical abstract: Surfactants have been used as reaction media to grow MOF single crystals for the first time.

Effects of isomorphous substitution of a coordination polymer on the properties and its application in electrochemical sensing

This work concerns the isomorphous substitution of coordination polymers (CPs) and its effect on the optical and electrochemical properties. The application of CPs in electrochemical sensing was studied as well. Isomorphous coordination polymers, [Co{sub x}Zn{sub 1−x}tyr]{sub n} (tyr=L-tyrosine), where x (0–1) was controlled by the Co/Zn ratios of raw materials, were successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method, as proved by XRD and EDS results. Their UV–vis DRS and fluorescence spectra change gradually along with the composition. Cyclic voltammograms of modified electrodes, [Co{sub x}Zn{sub 1−x}tyr]{sub n}/GCE, show that as more and more Zn replaced Co, the current signal decreases greatly and the potential shifts negatively. Much attention was paid to [Cotyr]{sub n} due to its highest sensitivity. Refreshable modified carbon paste electrode, [Cotyr]{sub n}-CPE, was used to determine nitrite, and showed pretty good performance as evidenced by chronoamperometry. The response was made very fast within mere 5 s. The linear detection range was from 5.00×10{sup −5} to 3.45×10{sup −3} M, with sensitivity of 263.4 mA mol{sup −1} L cm{sup −2}. The detection limit was found to be 2.00×10{sup −5} M.

A pair of new linear and V-shaped acceptor–donor–acceptor (A−D−A) thiophene-centered ditriazole structural isomers, i.e., 2,5-di(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)thiophene (L{sup 1}) and 3,4-di(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)thiophene (L{sup 2}), has been synthesized and characterized. They are used as μ{sub 2}-bridging ligands to prepare a pair of silver(I) coordination polymers formulated as [Ag(L{sup 1})(NO{sub 3})]{sub n} (1) and [Ag(L{sup 2})(NO{sub 3})]{sub n} (2), which are also structural isomers at the supramolecular level. X-ray single-crystal diffraction analyses for 1 and 2 reveal that they exhibit the same one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers but different structural architectures because of the distinguishable shape and configuration of isomeric ligands (L{sup 1} and L{sup 2}) and the alterations of the coordination numbers. More interestingly, compared with the free ligands, 1D silver(I) polymeric isomers 1 and 2 show significant enhancement of solid-state conductivity to different extents (1.42×10{sup 4} and 2.17×10{sup 3} times), where 6.96 times' enhancement of solid-state conductivity from 1 to 2 has been observed. The formation of Ag–N coordinative bonds and the configurational discrepancy of L{sup 1} and L{sup 2} are believed to play important roles in facilitating the electron transport between molecules, which can also be supported by Density Function Theory calculations of their band gaps. - Graphical abstract: A pair of linear and V-shaped isomeric thiophene-centered ditriazole ligands (L{sup 1}) and L{sup 2} are used to prepare a pair of silver(I) polymeric isomers (1 and 2), where significant enhancement of solid-state conductivity to different extents are observed originating from the distinguishable shape and configuration of isomeric ligands. - Highlights: • A pair of linear and V-shaped thiophene-centered ditriazole structural isomers is prepared. • They are used as µ{sub 2}-bridging ligands to prepare a pair of silver(I) polymeric isomers. • Significant enhancement of solid-state conductivity is observed for each polymeric isomer.

The new semirigid exo-bidentate ligand incorporating furfurysalicylamide terminal groups, namely, 1,4-bis([(2′-furfurylaminoformyl)phenoxyl]methyl)-2,5-bismethylbenzene (L) was synthesized and used as building blocks for constructing lanthanide coordination polymers with luminescent properties.

The structural diversities indicate that lanthanide contraction effect played significant roles in the structural self-assembled process. The luminescent properties of Eu{sup III}, Tb{sup III} and Dy{sup III} complexes are discussed in detail. Due to the good match between the lowest triplet state of the ligand and the resonant energy level of the lanthanide ion, the lanthanide ions in Eu{sup III}, Tb{sup III} and Dy{sup III} complexes can be efficiently sensitized by the ligand. - Graphical abstract: We present herein six lanthanide coordination polymers of a new semirigid exo-bidentate ligand which not only display diverse structures but also possess strong luminescence properties. - Highlights: • We present lanthanide coordination polymers of a new semirigid exo-bidentate ligand. • The lanthanide coordination polymers exhibit diverse structures. • The luminescent properties of Tb{sup III}, Eu{sup III} and Dy{sup III} complexes are discussed in detail.

A novel strontium carboxylate–sulfonate coordination polymer, [Sr(HSIP)(H{sub 2}O){sub 3}]{sub n·}nH{sub 2}O (1) (NaH{sub 2}SIP=5-sulfoisophthalic monosodium salt) has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction. It was characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, elemental and thermogravimetric analysis. Each strontium atom is eight-coordinate with a distorted bicapped trigonal prismatic arrangement. The whole HSIP{sup 2−} ligand acts as a η{sup 5}μ{sup 4} bridge to generate three-fold interpenetrated CdSO{sub 4}-type network structure, which is constructed from the left- and right-handed helixes paralleled to each other bridged by the HSIP{sup 2−} ligands. The luminescence spectrum indicates an emission maximum at 459 nm. Compound 1 shows a second harmonic generation (SHG) response that is 4 times that of KH{sub 2}PO{sub 4}. - Graphical abstract: The whole HSIP{sup 2−} ligands act as η{sup 5}μ{sup 4} bridges with strontium ions, and the strontium ion is eight-coordinated, showing a distorted bicapped trigonal prism geometry. - Highlights: • A novel coordination polymer with a CdSO{sub 4}-type network structure was synthesized. • It shows a second harmonic generation response that is 4 times that of KH{sub 2}PO{sub 4}. • It is constructed from the helixes paralleled to each other.

Honeycomb-shaped coordination polymers based on the self-assembly of long flexible ligands and alkaline-earth ions

Two novel coordination polymers, namely, [Ca(NCP){sub 2}]{sub ∞} (I) and [Sr(NCP){sub 2}]{sub ∞} (II) were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions based on 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)imidazo(4,5-f)-(1,10)phenanthroline (HNCP) and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectrometry, X-ray powder diffraction and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Findings indicate that I and II are isomorphous and isostructural, containing the unit of M(NCP{sup −}){sub 4} (M=Ca(II) and Sr(II)), based on which to assemble into three-dimensional (3D) porous 4-fold interpenetration honeycomb-shaped neutral coordination polymers (CPs). Between the adjacent lamellar structures in I and II, there exist π–π interactions between the pyridine rings belonging to phenanthroline of NCP{sup −} which stabilize the frameworks. Both I and II display stronger fluorescence emissions as well as high thermal stability. - Graphical abstract: One-dimensional nanotubular channels with the cross dimension of 37.1959(20)×23.6141(11)Å{sup 2} in the three-dimensional honeycomb-shaped coordination network of II are observed. The topological analysis of II indicates that there exists a typical diamond framework possessing large adamantanoid cages, which containing four cyclohexane-shaped patterns in chair conformations. - Highlights: • Two isomorphous and isostructural coordination polymers based on flexible ligand and two alkaline-earth metal salts have been synthesized and characterized. • Structural analysis indicates that I and II are assembled into 3D porous honeycomb-shaped metal-organic frameworks. • Both I and II display stronger fluorescence emissions and higher thermal stability.

Zinc(II) and Cadmium(II) coordination polymers constructed from phenylenediacetate ligands

ABSTRACT: A series of new coordination polymers {[Zn(μ-opda)(μ-bpa)]·2H_2O}{sub n} (1), [Zn(μ{sub 3}-ppda)(μ-bpa)]{sub n} (2), [Cd(μ{sub 3}-ppda)(μ-bpa)]{sub n} (3), [Cd(μ{sub 3}-mpda)(μ-bpa)]{sub n} (4) and [Cd(μ{sub 3}-mpda)(μ-bipy)]{sub n} (5), (o/m/ppda=1,2/1,3/1,4-phenylenediacetate, bpa=1,2-bi(4-pyridyl)ethane, bipy=4,4′-bipyridine) were synthesized. Their structures were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, the effect of metal sources (zinc acetate and zinc oxide) and acidity of the solution on the structure of the coordination polymers was discussed for complexes 1 and 5, respectively. The single-crystal X-ray crystallographic studies revealed that complexes 1, 3, 4 and 5 are uninodal (4)-connected 2D frameworks and display sql topology with the point symbol of (4{sup 4}.6{sup 2}). Complex 2 is 3D coordination polymer and exhibits pcu topology with the point symbol of (4{sup 12}.6{sup 3}). In addition, the luminescent properties and thermal behavior of all complexes were also investigated. - Graphical abstract: Scheme 1. Topologies of Coordination Polymers Reported in This Paper.
