Síntese e caracterização de polímeros de coordenação por difração de raios X

Abstract

This work shows the synthesis, structural and topological characterization of four new coordination polymers described as Zn-psb , Mn-psb, Cu-psb and Ni-btc with metals of the first row transition metal ions (Zn+2, Mn+2, Cu+2 and Ni+2) and 4-sulphobenzoate monopotassium (Hpsb), 1,2,4- benzenetricarboxylic acid (4-btc) as ligands. And another two polimeric componds (Co-btc and Cu-pza) described in the literature. The compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques (infrared and Raman) and elemental analysis (CHN) where thermal analysis (TG/DTA) were only used for structural characterization of the compound Ni-btc. The vibrational spectroscopy was used to understand the coordination modes of the carboxylate groups in the compounds with 4-btc ligand by analyze of Δѵ values [ ѵα(COO) – ѵs(COO) ]. A study of symmetry by analysis of normal coordinates allowed a rigorous assignment to coordination modes for SO3 groups in the compounds derived H-psb ligand. An adaptation of the technique of crystallization in gel was used. The results of CHN showed that the use of ethambutol hydrochloride as a crystallization agent led to formation of impurities on the surface of the Zn-psb and Mn-psb compounds that was eliminated during the crystallization process. The structures of the four compounds were determined for X-ray diffraction by single crystal, where it was observed that the crystal structure of the compound Cu-psb displays a positional disorder with a fraction of 54:46 for the ring and SO3 group, while the single crystal of the compound Ni-btc was twinned with a fraction of 49:51 for the each domain. The solution of structure was complicated due a similar contribution from domains formed. X-ray diffraction by polycrystals was used like a tool for give a support to refine the structural model proposed for the compound Ni-btc by the Rietveld method. The topological description of these compounds was performed using graph theory where some definitions and terms were presented. Despite the structural similarity, the compound Zn-psb displayed a network of type tfz-d while Mn-psb compound showed a net of type pcu.
