ABSTRACT: Four d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride compounds of V(V), Mo(VI), and Ti(IV), with the “2D layer”, “1D zigzag chain”, “1D linear chain”, and “0D cluster” structures, have been hydrothermally synthesized, by the structure-directing self-assembly of Meimi/Viimi/imi ligands, and other transition metal Zn(II)/Cd(II) ions. The structuredirecting property of d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride anions is responsible for the tunable syntheses of novel inorganic solids with structural diversities, while the distortion of the d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride polyhedrons, owing to the second-order Jahn−Teller (SOJT) effect, is the key to engineering the structure-directing property.

T

structural changes for these anionic components can also be anticipated. The distortion may usually lead to at least one of the oxide/fluoride ligands to be terminal (μ1-O/F) or bonded to other transition metals (μ2-, μ3-, or μ4-O/F). Thus, d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride compounds hold a trend of oligomerization or polymerization via μ1- and/or μ2-, and/or μ3-, and/or μ4-O/F. The formation of mononuclear, oligomer, and polymer structures, e.g., 0D cluster, 1D chain, 2D layer, and 3D structures, for mixed d0 transition metal compounds can be anticipated. Here, we report four new mixed transition metal oxide/ fluoride compounds derived from d0 transition metal oxide/ fluoride anions and other transition metal (Cu, Zn)-based coordination cations with organic imidazole-analogue ligands. Namely, 2D layer [Cu(Meimi)2V2O6]n (1) (Meimi = 1-methyl1H-imidazole, n = ∞), 1D zigzag chain [Zn(Viimi)3MoF4O2]n (2) (Viimi =1-vinyl-1H-imidazole, n = ∞), 1D linear straight chain [Cu(Viimi)4TiF6]n (3) (n = ∞), and 0D cluster {(Himi)2[Cu(imi)4(TiF6)2]} (4) (imi = imidazole). Although a number of mixed inorganic−organic layer/chain/cluster structures have been identified and are well characterized, few examples containing mixed transition metal oxide/fluoride inorganic− organic compounds have been reported so far,7a,e,8 fewer studies have focused on the design and tunable synthesis of these solid structures. Therefore, the structure-directing properties of d0

he rational design of crystal structures based on the chemical nature of molecular components is an exciting research topic, and an emerging theme of crystal engineering in inorganic solid state chemistry.1−4 In particular, the solid structures with different dimensionality (three-dimensional (3D), two-dimensional (2D), one-dimensional (1D), and zerodimensional (0D)) are very important for exhibiting diversities of physical and chemical properties.5−7 The mixed transition metal oxide/fluoride systems continue to attract the attention of numerous research groups with widely divergent interests. Since such species are excellent components for constructing complicated inorganic solid structures.8,9 The combination of d0 transition metals (Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, W) and other transition metals (Cu, Zn, Cd), together with organic ligands, leads to many interrelated and comparable metal oxide/ fluoride compounds.9b,c,10 These compounds contain similar anionic and cationic components, i.e., d0-anions [(Ti/Zr)F6]2‑, [(V/Nb/Ta)OF5]2‑, [(Mo/W)O2F4]2‑, or oligomeric/polymeric [VOn](2n‑5)‑ (n = 4−6),7b,8c,8d,9a,11,12 and cations [(Cu/Zn/ Cd)L4]2+ (L = nitrogen-containing heterocycle ligand), respectively. Though they are similar in compositions, subtle structural changes for these anionic and cationic components lead to the assembling of different structures of mixed transition metal coordination solid compounds, such as polymers with 3D, 2D, and 1D structure or clusters with 0D structure.7d,e,8a,b,9b In general, owing to the second-order Jahn−Teller (SOJT) effect, distortion of the d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride materials (i.e., the out-of-center shift of central d0 transition metal cations in polyhedrons) can be expected,13 and as a result, the subtle © 2013 American Chemical Society

atom is surrounded by four different oxide atoms (one μ1-O, three μ2-O), with V−O distances at 1.610(2)−1.7984(19) Å, meaning that the vanadium atom is heavily distorted. The VO43‑ tetrahedrons are linked through two μ2-O to two neighboring vanadiums (V(V)) to form the [−V−O−V−O−] backbone. Furthermore, the V−O−V angle is bent, at 135.77(19)°, as is common for μ2-O bridging transition metal chain structures. The significance of this bent angle gives rise to 1D zigzag backbone, thus undulating 2D, not planar 2D structure for 1 is expected, in

to form little hindrance between the Meimi rings both above and below (Figure 1b). Relatively large rectangular cavities occur within a single 2D square net, at ca. 5.34 × 8.63 Å2, with the intermolecular interactions extending above and below each layer.

M′, other d metal). Because of the second-order Jahn−Teller (SOJT) effect, the vertex oxide/fluoride atoms should be different in negative charge density. As a result the reactivity of these atoms is usually different. Two kinds of linking modes between the d0 transition metal and other transition metal via the vertex-linked oxide/fluoride atoms can be expected. One mode features the trans-directing two vertex-oxide/fluoride atoms, i.e., the two vertex-oxide/fluoride atoms are in trans arrangement, which will lead to a linear straight chains (Scheme 1), consisting of infinite alternating [−M−O/F−M′−O/F−M−]n (n = ∞, M, d0 metal, M′, other d metal), or just a limited alternating linear straight cluster structure, e.g., [M−O/F−M′−O/F−M]n (n = 1, 2, 3, etc.). The second mode, oppositely, featuring the cis-directing two vertex-oxide/fluoride atoms, may lead to a bent chain, i.e., zigzag/ helical chain, or zigzag cluster structure (Scheme 1). Besides the linkages between the d0 transition metals (M) and other transition metals (M′) via vertex-oxide/fluoride atoms, sometimes other linkages between the d0 transition metals and adjacent d0 transition metals via other vertex-oxide/fluoride atoms also occur, namely infinite alternating [−M−O/F−M−]n (n = ∞, M, d0 metal), thus a 2D layer can be anticipated (Scheme 1). For 1, in spite of the similarity in synthetic condition, compared to those of 2, 3, and 4, the vanadium tetrahedral centers have shown strong trend to polymerize via vertex-oxide atoms, forming infinite [−V−O−V−]n (n = ∞) zigzag chains, and individual zigzag chains are linked through [Cu(Meimi)2] units (i.e., V−O−Cu−O−V linkage) to form an undulating 2D network as depicted in Figure 1b. Very differently, in 2 and 3, the d0 transition metals Mo(VI) (in 2) and Ti(IV) (in 3) have shown no linkage between themselves via vertex-oxide/fluoride atoms, but linkage to zinc centers and copper centers, via vertex-oxide/fluoride atoms, respectively. Therefore, only 1D chains can be found both for 2 and for 3. The octahedral [MoO2F4]2‑ anions of 2 have been strongly distorted with the Mo(VI) cation displaced from the center of the [MoO2F4]2‑ octahedron in the direction of the cis oxide ligands or toward an edge of the octahedron. The Mo−O bonds are short (1.6884(19) and 1.7021(18) Å), and the bonds to the two trans fluorides are long (2.1018(14), and 2.1094(13) Å). Therefore, the two oxide ligands should retain little negative charge with respect to the other ligands, especially the two trans fluorides, F(3) and F(4) (Figure 2a), which are highly charged. As a result, coordination is directed in a cis fashion through the two trans fluorides, which accounts for the formation of bent or zigzag 1D chains in 2 (Figure 2b,c). However, in [TiF6]2‑ of 3, the octahedron is lightly distorted with the two axial Ti−F distances of 1.833(2) Å × 2 being longer than four equatorial Ti−F distances of 1.8191(18) Å × 4. The two axial fluoride ligands retain largely negative charge with respect to the four equatorial fluoride ligands, which are little charged. As a result, coordination is directed in a trans fashion through the two trans axial fluorides. A linear chain can be expected, in agreement with the observation found in 3 (Figure 3b,c). Therefore, owing to the structural differences between the [MoO2F4]2‑ and [TiF6]2‑ anions, they direct coordination through cis and trans ligands, respectively. For 4, it is similar to the case of 3 except that 3 has 1D linear chains, while 4 is just a 0D linear cluster. The octahedral [TiF6]2‑ anion is also lightly distorted, and results in two axial Ti−F bonds that are different from those of the four equatorial ones. Finally, coordination is directed in a trans fashion through the two trans axial fluorides, which accounts for the fact that the cluster is linear in geometric structure in 4 (Figure 4b).

agreement with the experimental observation. The local squareplanar coordination of the Cu(II) ions is common, with two longer bonds to the nitrogen atoms (1.997(2) Å × 2) of the Meimi ligands and two shorter bonds to oxygen atoms (1.9205(18) Å × 2). Complexes 2 and 3 are 1D zigzag chain and 1D linear straight chain, respectively, formulated as [Zn(Viimi)3MoF4O2]n (n = ∞) for the former and [Cu(Viimi)4TiF6]n (n = ∞) for the latter. For 2, the structure contains both MoF4O2 and ZnO2N3(Viimi) cores. The chains are constructed from alternating [Zn(Viimi)3]2+ cations and [MoF4O2]2‑ anions, which are bound to one another through shared fluoride anions (Figure 2b). The geometry of the zinc centers is trigonal bipyramidal, and the three equatorial coordination sites on the zinc center are occupied by Viimi ligands, through Zn−N distances of 2.005(2), 2.010(2), and 2.023(2) Å (Table S2). The two axial Zn−F distances are 2.0942(14) and 2.1650(14) Å. The geometry of the [MoF4O2]2‑ anion is octahedral, with Mo−F distances of 1.9124(18), 1.9394(18), 2.1018(14), and 2.1094(13) Å, and Mo−O distances of 1.6884(19) and 1.7021(18) Å. While in 3, the 1D linear straight chains are constructed from alternating [Cu(Viimi)4]2+ cations and [TiF6]2‑ anions via the shared fluoride anions (Figure 3b). The geometry of the copper centers is octahedral, and shows an obvious Jahn−Teller effect. The four equatorial coordination sites on the copper center are occupied by Viimi ligands, through Cu−N distances of 2.016(2) Å × 4. The two axial Cu−F distances are 2.315(2) Å × 2 (Table S2). The geometry of the [TiF6]2‑ anion is octahedral, with Ti−F distances of 1.8191(18) Å × 4, and 1.833(2) Å × 2. Complex 4 {(Himi)2[Cu(imi)4(TiF6)2]} is built from anionic [Cu(imi)4(TiF6)2]2‑ clusters (Figure 4b), which link to imidazolium (Himi+) cations via intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions (Figure S1). These 0D anionic clusters comprise two smaller complex anions ([TiF6]2‑) coordinated to a central [Cu(imi)4]2+ cation (Figure 4b). The coordination environment around the d9 Jahn−Teller copper ion consists of four equatorial imi ligands through Cu−N distances of 2.006(4) Å × 4 (Table S2) and two very long axial Cu−F bonds (2.524(3) Å × 2) to the respective complex anions ([TiF6]2‑). The F−Cu−F angle is 180°, and the anionic [Cu(imi)4(TiF6)2]2‑ clusters are, therefore, linear in geometric structure. Ti(IV) center of [TiF6]2‑ anion is slightly distorted from the center of the F− octahedron away from the Cu. This results in the short axial Ti−F(1) distance (1.823(5) Å), trans to the long Ti− F(3) distance (1.826(5) Å) (Table S2). The Himi+ cations are highly disordered, and link to any of the four equatorial fluorides by means of intermolecular N−H···F hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is related to the anti-fluorite structure. The anionic clusters can be thought of as closest-packed structure, with the disordered Himi+ cations occupying “tetrahedral holes”. The fact that the anion in this structure is not spheres but instead has only 4fold symmetry explains the reduction of the crystal system from cubic to tetragonal. Alternatively, the structure may be viewed as (110) planes of parallel, end to end clusters, with each plane shifted c/2 from the one above and below it and Himi+ cations occupying the spaces between the anions. The d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride anions play a very important role in constructing the complicated crystal structures, as they are structure-directing. These anions are usually [MOxF6‑x] (x = 0−6), [MOxF5‑x] (x = 0−5), and [MOxF4‑x] (x = 0−4). The vertex oxide/fluoride, as bridging atoms, is easily coordinated to other transition metal centers, e.g., Cu(II) and Zn(II), to form 1D chains [−M−O/F−M′−O/F−] (M, d0 metal, 451

Scheme 1. Structure-Directing Self-Assembling Modes of d0 Transition Metal Oxide/Fluoride Anions via Vertex-Oxide/Fluoride Atoms To Form 1D Zigzag/Linear Chains, 0D Zigzag/Linear Clusters, and 2D Layer Compounds

It should be noted that the coordination of [TiF6]2‑ anion to [Cu(imi)4]2+ via axial fluoride in 4 is very weak as indicated by the long Cu−F bonds (2.524(3) Å × 2), ca. 0.209 and 0.171 Å longer than those observed in 3 and other documents previously, respectively.8a,9c The weak covalent interaction between [TiF6]2‑ anion and [Cu(imi)4]2+ cation means that the alternating repeating units of [−Ti−F−Cu−F−Ti−] can be easily interrupted by other weak interactions, e.g., intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions; thus, linear cluster (0D) with limited repeating of [−Ti−F−Cu−F−Ti−], but not 1D linear chains with infinite repeat of [−Ti−F−Cu−F−Ti−], can be expected. The 0D cluster with linear structure in 4 can be easily explained by the observed fact that there are strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds (N−H···F(3), 3.232(4) Å) between the axial fluoride (F(3)) and NH group of imi organic ligands of adjacent clusters (Figure 4c), and other intermolecular hydrogen bonds (N− H···F(2) 2.80(3), 2.88(2), 3.119(4), and 3.02(2) Å) between the equatorial fluorides (F(2)) and NH groups of imi organic ligand of adjacent clusters and Himi+ cations (Figure S1). As for the variation of organic ligands (imi, Meimi, and Viimi), there is no obvious relation between the dimensionality of the networks and size of organic ligands that has been observed. This may be due to several factors determining the dimensionality of the network structures. Though the synthetic conditions of 1, 2, 3, and 4 are somewhat similar, and the organic ligands are

imidazole-analogues, the variations of d0 transition metals (V(V), Mo(VI), and Ti(IV)) lead to formation of four main structure types in these systems: the “2D layer”, “1D zigzag chain”, “1D linear chain”, and “0D cluster” structures (Figures 1b, 2b, 3b, and 4b). The reason for their structural diversities is ascribed to the structuredirecting property of d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride anions. The successful performance of the present synthetic procedure is helpful for looking for other d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride compounds with novel structures or property. To summarize, we have described four novel d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride compounds with V(V), Mo(VI), and Ti(IV): the “2D layer”, “1D zigzag chain”, “1D linear chain”, and “0D cluster” structures. The structure-directing property of d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride anions is responsible for the tunable syntheses of novel inorganic solids with structural diversities, while the distortion of the d0 transition metal oxide/fluoride polyhedrons, owing to the second-order Jahn−Teller (SOJT) effect, is the key to engineering the structure-directing property.

A total of 5363 reflections were collected, of which 573 (Rint = 0.0303) were unique. Intensity data were collected on a Bruker SMART CCD diffractometer equipped with a graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.710 73 Å) at 293(2) K using the ω−2θ scan technique. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares fitting on F2 by SHELXTL-97. All nonhydrogen atoms were located from the initial solution and refined with anisotropic thermal parameters. CCDC reference numbers are 760087, 780693, 804452, and 763288 for 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
