ABSTRACT: A new family of bi-, tetra-, penta-, and hexanickel cagelike phenylsilsesquioxanes 1−6 was obtained by selfassembly and transmetalation procedures. Their crystal structures were established by single-crystal X-ray analysis, and features of crystal packing relevant to the network formation were studied by a topological analysis. Compounds 1, 2, and 4 are isolated architectures, while 3, 5, and 6 present extended 1D and 3D networks. The investigation of magnetic properties revealed the presence of ferro- (1 and 3−5) or antiferromagnetic (2 and 6) interactions between Ni(II) ions, giving rise in the most cases (1, 2, and 4−6) to the presence of a slow relaxation of the magnetization, which can originate from the spin frustration.



INTRODUCTION Polynuclear metal-based architectures with a cagelike topology have attracted a great deal of attention over several decades due to their enormous structural diversity and their striking potential applications, in many fields including molecular recognition, catalysis, electronics, or performance of reactions within the cavities.1 Among those, particular interest has been devoted to the synthesis and investigations of cagelike polycyclic compounds based on silsesquioxane RSiO1.5 building blocks,2 including different types of metal-containing derivatives.3 Different approaches have been employed to design such isolated architectures of various nuclearities, containing transition-metal ions or lanthanides linked through silicon atoms, including self-assembling reactions of tri-3a,d,4 or tetrasilanols5 as well as noncondensed cubane silsesquioxane3b,g,6 building blocks. Indeed, polynuclear architectures with various structural organizations, such as Ti-based adamantine,7 Cu-based Cooling Tower8 and Knight Helmet,9 Fe-based drum10 or In-based bird cage,11 Sn-based tricubanes,12 and Ndbased tetracubanes13 are available using these synthetic strategies. Cagelike metallasilsesquioxanes (CLMSs) often exhibit high catalytic activity, which makes them interesting as molecular models for catalysis,3i,14 and sometimes they present unusual magnetic properties.15 On the other hand, © XXXX American Chemical Society

CLMSs may also be used as building blocks to design various extended molecule-based networks, also called coordination polymers, as has been demonstrated for the first time by some of us in the example of a Cu(II)-based silsesquioxane 1D−3D network.3i,16 Recently, we focused on the design of Ni(II)-containing polyhedral silsesquioxanes with penta- and hexanuclear cagelike architectures.14b Interestingly, the nuclearity in these compounds has been controlled by employment of specific solvents during the self-assembly reaction between precursors, which gave the formation of the pentanuclear architecture in the case of dimethylformamide (DMF) and the hexanuclear architecture in the case of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). In both compounds, Ni(II) ions linked through oxygen atoms are arranged in slightly distorted pentagonal and hexagonal polyhedra with peripheral phenylsilsesquioxane moieties, permitting a good isolation of each cluster from others in the crystal packing. These architectures present a slow relaxation of the magnetization arising from the presence of the spin frustration of Ni(II) ions in each cluster rather than from the occurrence of weak dipolar interactions. Note that a few cagelike Received: June 13, 2017

phosphonate-based Ni(II) architectures containing 8 and 12 nickel ions have previously been reported, but the presence of a slow relaxation of the magnetization has never been reported up to now.17 Encouraged by these results, we pursued our effort in the design of Ni(II)-based cage silsesquioxanes with different numbers of Ni(II) ions and focused for the first time on the design of extended networks including Ni(II)-based CLMSs as repeating units. In this article we report the synthesis, crystal structures, and investigations of the magnetic properties of six new bi-, tetra-, penta-, and hexanuclear Ni(II)-based CLMSs presenting discrete or extended crystal structures. Two different approaches consisting of the substitution of the solvating ligands or the transmetalation reaction have been used. A particular emphasis is given here to the influence of the synthetic conditions on the nuclearity and structural features. In addition, a comparison of various types of structural organizations and the magnetic properties of these cage silsesquioxanes are also discussed.



RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Synthesis and Crystal Structures of 1−6. It is wellknown3i that one of the features of CLMS chemistry consists of the remarkable opportunity to obtain a complex cage geometry from very simple educts. To take advantage of this, we performed the parallel syntheses of Ni(II) silsesquioxanes starting from the trivial silane building block PhSi(OEt)3. Depending on the molar ratio between two precursors, sodium siloxanolate (obtained in situ from PhSi(OEt)3) and NiCl2· 6NH3, this reaction (Scheme 1) leads to the formation of Scheme 1.

Note that two earlier publications18 have previously been reported on the alternative synthesis of distorted prismatic Ni4 CLMSs, but 1 differs from Ni4Na6 of ref 18 in its composition. The structural analysis shows that compounds 1 and 2 are discrete architectures, which can be represented by a prismatic type of polyhedron (distorted for 1 and regular for 2), with sixsided polygonal bases [PhSi(O)O]6 in the case of 1 and five-

Being interested in the study of controlled formation of CLMS-based coordination polymers, we focus on several synthetic transformations of silanolate-containing compound 1. First of all, a procedure of substitution of solvating ligands in 1 was carried out. Recently, Hasell and Cooper19 have established that 1,4-dioxane is an unique solvent, which can induce the packing of organic cagelike compounds in extended networks. This observation is in agreement with the results obtained by some of us in the case of Cu(II)-based CLMS coordination polymers.3i,16,20 Along this line of thought, we reacted 1 with 1,4-dioxane (Scheme 1). This procedure induces not only a solvent replacement (from ethanol/water to 1,4dioxane) but also a deep structural reorganization of the cagelike molecular architecture conducted to the formation of the three-dimensional compound (PhSiO2)14Ni2Na12(CO3) (3). Figure 4A shows the molecular fragment of this CLMS structure, which is quite unusual due to the presence of two heptameric [PhSi(O)O]7 ligands (bringing 14 negative charges) and two Ni(II) ions, providing only four positive charges. Only two transition-metal ions provide the formation of a “non-cubane” cage silsesquioxane framework (Figure S3a,b in the Supporting Information). As rare examples of such binuclear CLMSs, we could mention Cr2,4d,21 Fe2,22 Cu2,4c,8 and Zn2 silsesquioxanes.4c The geometry of the molecular fragment could be assigned as distorted prismatic with a prominent shift of prism bases (silsesquioxane ligands) from the vertical axis. Note that 3 includes the 14-membered siloxane cycle (Figure 3C), which to the best of our knowledge is the first observation for CLMSs. Note also that such a nontrivially

high number of alkaline-metal ions (for CLMSs) is required to balance the charge neutrality. For comparison, we could cite Co-based15a and Cu-based16b CLMSs, containing only six sodium and cesium ions, respectively. One could suggest that such a huge amount of sodium centers in 3 could be a positive feature in the context of coordination polymer structure formation. The three-dimensional structure is then formed by connection of molecular cages through 1,4-dioxane leading to the three-periodic primitive cubic net with the distances between connected nodes being between 15.4 and 16.5 Å (Figure 4B). Furthermore, complex 3 is uncommon due to its unusual encapsulation features: the inner void of 3 comprises a sodium bicarbonate molecule (Figure S3b). In principle, the encapsulation of different molecular entities (water, pyrazine, chloride anion, etc.) by CLMSs is well-known feature.3i However, to our knowledge, the encapsulation of a carbonate C

In the next stage, we explored the influence of alkali-metal ions on CLMS coordination polymer formation. Considering that these ions are usually located in external positions of a cage skeleton of metallasilsesquioxanes, their capacity to connect discrete CLMS architectures in order to form extended structures depends on their size. For this reason, different alkali-metal ions have been used in reactions with complex 1. Along this line of thought, the partial replacement of sodium by potassium ions in 1 led to the isolated unusual 1D compound [(PhSiO2)6]2Ni4Na4K2(OH)2 (5) (Scheme 1 and Figure 6). The cluster unit structure of CLMS 5 is quite close to that of the pristine complex 1, with two six-sided polygonal bases, [PhSi(O)O]6, coordinating the Ni4 central layer (Figure 6A and Figure S5 in the Supporting Information for the Ni(II) ion arrangement) and 12-membered siloxane cycles (Figure 3). Importantly, unlike complex 1, CLMS 5 forms a 1D coordination polymer structure through the connection of molecular units via the contacts of solvating ethanol molecule oxygen atoms with potassium centers of the cages (Figure 6B). Symptomatic of this, repeating contacts between cage fragments of 5 are implemented exclusively through potassium (not sodium) centers. This observation is in total agreement with the aforementioned suggestion concerning the role of the alkali metal ion size. Along the same line of thought, the interaction of potassium silanolate [(PhSiO1.5)(KO0.5)]n, obtained in situ from PhSi(OEt)3, with CsF and then with NiCl2·6NH3 gave the Cs+containing CLMS [(PhSiO2)6]2Ni6K1.5Cs0.5Cl(OH)] (6) having a 1D structural organization (Scheme 1 and Figure 7). The complex contains six nickel ions per cage organized in a hexagonal polygon with the chloride anion situated in the center and 12-membered siloxane cycles (Figure S6 in the Supporting Information and Figure 3B). The geometry of the molecular fragment of 6 is regular prismatic one. Positively charged alkaline ions balance the negative charges of OH− and chloride anions, encapsulated by inner voids of the metallasilsesquioxane framework. The cage fragments are connected through the linkages K−O−K in order to form a onedimensional chain structure along the c axis (Figure 7B and Figure S7 in the Supporting Information). The distances and angles are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. Note that the

is an unprecedented case. The distances and angles for 3 are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. The next step of our approach consists of the replacement of sodium by Ni(II) ions in 1 through the reaction with NiCl2· 6NH3 in the presence of 1,4-dioxane (transmetalation reaction) (Scheme 1). This results in the formation of the isolated cagelike Ni(II)-based phenylsilsesquioxane (PhSiO2)12Ni6 (4), having a crystal structure where six Ni(II) ions are organized into hexanuclear polygons (Figure 5, Tables 1 and 2, and Figure S4 in the Supporting Information) by means of the oxygen atoms and 12-membered siloxane cycles (Figure 3B). Its structural organization is close to that of the compound (PhSiO2)12Ni6(NaCl), previously reported by some of us.23 It should be noted that such transmetalation reactions are wellknown in the chemistry of CLMSs,3i,24 but no example involving a Ni(II)-based CLMS has been reported to date. Notwithstanding, despite the presence of 1,4-dioxane solvate, compound 4 does not form an extended structure. Thus, it has been established that the reactions with 1,4-dioxane cannot be considered as the usual way for the formation of CLMS-based coordination polymers. D

distances between the centroids of nickelphenylsilsesquioxane cages vary from 14.3 to 17.2 Å. As a short conclusion, two approaches consisting of the change of the solvent molecules by 1,4-dioxane as well as the transmetalation reaction dedicated to the formation of the extended structures from compound 1 have been explored. The strategy based on an involvement of an alkali metal with a greater ion size (K+ in CLMS 5 or Cs+ in CLMS 6 instead of Na+ in CLMS 1) has been found to be more productive than the method of 1,4-dioxane use as a linker (effective in the case of complex 3 but not for the product 4).

for 1, 3, and 4 reveals the presence of a plateau for all compounds down to 150 K before diverging from the Curie law upon further cooling. The observed positive deviation is indicative of dominant ferromagnetic interactions between the Ni2+ ions, and the maximum χT values are 9.23 (6 K), 3.68 (8 K), and 13.91 cm3 K mol−1 (8.5 K) for 1, 3, and 4, respectively. For 1 and 4, the maximum values of χT are lower than the theoretical value of 11.02 cm3 K mol−1 (S = 4 species, g = 2.1) and 23.1 cm3 K mol−1 (S = 6 species, g = 2.1) calculated for these isolated molecules assuming ferromagnetic interactions between all the nickel ions. For lower temperature, a steep decrease in χT is observed for 1, 3, and 4, which may originate from zero-field splitting and/or intermolecular interactions (Figure 8a). The field dependence of the magnetization, M, at 1.8 K confirms the presence of rather ferromagnetic interactions at low temperature for 1 and 4 without reaching a clear saturation, indicating the presence of a magnetic anisotropy (Figure 8b). Note that compound 3 presents a very weak value of the magnetization at 70 kOe, which may be explained by a strong zero-field splitting occurring due to an unusual geometry of Ni(II) ions in this structure. The room-temperature χT value for 5 is equal to 4.04 cm3 K mol−1, which is slightly lower than the expected value of 4.40 cm3 K mol−1 for four noninteracting octahedral Ni2+ ions with g = 2.1. The thermal dependence of χT shows a progressive decrease down to a minimum value of 3.25 cm3 K mol−1 at 60 K and then a dramatic increase to a value of 5.87 cm3 K mol−1 at 8 K (Figure 8a). This value remains lower than the expected value of 11.00 cm3 K mol−1 in the case of ferromagnetic coupling between all the spin carriers. Such a shape of the χT vs T curve reflects the occurrence of both competitive antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interactions within the tetranuclear unit mediated by different magnetic pathways. This is confirmed by an M vs H curve showing a low value of 2.19 μB at 70 kOe. In contrast, compounds 2 and 6 exhibit a strikingly different thermal dependence of χT. At room temperature, the experimental χT values are lower than the expected values for the isolated Ni2+ ions, indicating that antiferromagnetic interactions are still operative. Upon cooling, χT continuously decreases to reach a plateau at 14 K for both compounds before dramatically decreasing at very low temperature (Figure 8a). This curve profile confirms the presence of a predominant antiferromagnetic interaction. Though the steep decrease may originate from a zero-field splitting or intermolecular interactions, the plateau may be indicative of the presence of

short-range magnetic ordering as we previously evidenced in pentagonal M5 clusters (M = Co, Ni).15b,c The weak values of the magnetization at 70 kOe observed for these compounds corroborate the presence of dominant antiferromagnetic interactions (Table 3 and Figure 8b). Magnetic Irreversibility and ac Properties. The occurrence of a slow relaxation of the magnetization was investigated first by using the zero-field-cooled/field-cooled (ZFC/FC) curves and second by dynamic measurements by using alternating current (ac) mode. The ZFC curve was obtained when the sample was cooled in zero magnetic field down to 2 K, and then a magnetic field of 100 Oe was applied and the magnetization was measured as a function of temperature. The FC was recorded after the ZFC curve by decreasing the temperature under the same magnetic field. Among the six presented compounds only compound 3 shows no evidence of a slow relaxation of the magnetization. This fact is not surprising, considering the dinuclear structure of the cage fragment with a relatively long Ni(II)−Ni(II) distance (6.009 Å). Under a zero-dc field, only a weak frequency dependence without a maximum in the available temperature range can be observed for 1 (Figure S10 in the Supporting Information). Such slow relaxation of the magnetization may arise from either the presence of a single-molecule magnet (SMM) or spin glass behavior. In the case of SMM, it is known that applying a dc field can cut short the quantum tunneling of the magnetization F

time leading to the parameters summarized in Table 4. Note that the τ0 values found are lower in comparison with those usually observed for superparamagnetic systems (10−8−10−12 s). This is further confirmed when the Mydosh parameter φ (φ = (Tmax − Tmin)/(Tmax × log νmax − log νmin)) is calculated, which is often used to discriminate spin-glass/superparamagnetic systems on the basis of the amplitude of the out-of-phase peak’s shift with frequency.25 For 2, this parameter is found to be equal to 0.093, which is slightly lower than the threshold value fixed for superparamagnetic systems (φ > 0.1). Another evidence of a spin-glass behavior is related to the field dependence of the ac susceptibility at fixed frequency. Such an analysis for 2 performed on χ′ shows that the maximum temperature decreases with field and follows the Almeida− Thouless law26 (for fields larger than 50 Oe). This fact is in agreement with the presence of a spin-glass behavior. All these data suggest that the slow relaxation observed in 2 arises from a spin-glass behavior induced by spin frustration due to the odd number of spin carriers forming the pentagonal cluster with the presence of different magnetic interaction pathways (between adjacent cis and trans Ni2+ ions). However, the presence of dipolar interactions between the cages could not be totally excluded. The ZFC curve for 4 reveals a maximum located at 3.9 K (Figure S17 in the Supporting Information). However, the increase in χ″ for temperatures lower than 2.5 K suggests the presence of a second relaxation process. The FC curve continuously increases and diverges from the ZFC curve at Tirr = 4.6 K. 4 exhibits an hysteresis loop at 1.8 K with a coercive field of 200 Oe, confirming a magnetic irreversibility (Figure S18 in the Supporting Information). The temperature dependence of the ac susceptibilities reveals a frequencydependent behavior, indicating also the presence of a slow relaxation of the magnetization (Figure 10). The temperature dependence of χ′ shows the presence of two different maxima, while χ″ exhibits only a single maximum accompanied by a tail at low temperature. The temperature dependence of the relaxation time for the maximum of χ″ gives Ueff = 84 K and τ0 = 1.9 × 10−14 s (Figure S19 in the Supporting Information, Table 4). As in the previous case of compound 2, the value of τ0 is lower than that expected for superparamagnetic systems and may suggest the occurrence of a spin-glass behavior resulting from the different exchange interactions between the paramagnetic centers within the hexanuclear unit. The Mydosh parameter, φ = 0.80, also suggests such a relaxation feature and the scenario is ultimately confirmed by the temperature dependence of the ac susceptibilities for various dc fields. It can be seen that, upon applying dc fields, the maxima of both χ′ and χ″ shift to lower temperature with magnetic fields (Figure S20 in the Supporting Information). The temperature dependence of the χ″ maximum follows the Almeida−Thouless (AT) equation, H ∝ (1 − Tmax/ Tf)3/2,26 Tf being the freezing temperature (Figure S21 in the

(QTM) and eventually shift the maximum to higher temperatures. ac measurements performed under a 900 Oe dc field reveal a more pronounced frequency dependence, but the maximum still remains located below 1.8 K (Figure S11 in the Supporting Information), precluding further analysis of the relaxation dynamics. The ZFC curve for 2 shows a maximum at Tmax = 3.3 K (Figure S12 in the Supporting Information), while the FC curve increases. Both curves overlap at high temperatures and start to separate at 5.0 K (irreversible temperature, Tirr). A clear opening in the hysteresis loop can be observed at 1.8 K with a coercive field of 350 Oe, confirming the magnetic irreversibility (Figure S13 in the Supporting Information). ac magnetic properties (Figure 9) reveal a frequency-dependent behavior

X-ray diffraction studies were carried out on a bruker Apex DUO diffractometer using ω scans with Cu Kα radiation (5, λ = 1.54178 Å, multilayer optics) and Mo Kα radiation (the other compounds, λ = 0.71073 Å, graphite monochromator). The structures were solved by the direct method and refined by full-matrix least squares against F2. Non-hydrogen atoms were refined in anisotropic approximation except those for the disordered fragments. The crystal of 1 was twinned; twinning was resolved with Platon software29 and refined using BASF/HKLF 5 instructions. The H(C) atoms were included in the refinement by the riding model with Uiso(H) = nUeq(X), where n = 1.5 for methyl groups and water molecules and 1.2 for the other atoms. All calculations were made using the SHELXL-201430 and OLEX231 program packages. The main crystallographic data and experimental details are collected in Table 5.
