increasing the dehydration temperature to 160 °C for 6 h, one of coordination water molecule can be released, giving rise to dicobalt-based 2D (3,6)-connected kgd double layer [Co(H2L)(H2O)] (4). During stepwise dehydration SC-SC transformation courses, coordination sphere of Co(II) changes from penta-coordinate trigonal bipyramid to hexa-coordinate octahedra; H2L2− ligates from (κ1)–(κ1)–(κ1)–µ3–H2L2–, (κ1)–(κ1)–(κ2)–µ3–H2L2– to (κ1–µ2)–(κ1)–(κ2)–µ4–H2L2–; network topology ranges from 3-connected 63-hcb to (3,6)-connected kgd; magnetism changes from single-ion behavior of Co(II) to intra-dicobalt ferromagnetism.

INTRODUCTION

Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) or coordination polymers (CPs) have received considerable attention in the past few decades owing to their potential applications in the fields of gas separation,1-6 catalysis,7 sensing,8,

chirality,10 magnetism,11 and

optics etc.12, 13, 14 Since the first reported of single-crystal to single-crystal (SC–SC) transformation for MOFs/CPs in 2002,15-21 an arising interest in these crystalline materials is the stimuli-responsive single-crystal to single-crystal (SC–SC) transformation between solid phases which maintains the integrity before and after the transformation. This provides opportunities to understand solid-state transformations and to prepare new functional materials under exogenous stimuli such as thermal,22-27 light,28 humidity,29 redox,30 solvent molecules,31-40 mechanical forces,41, 42 and anions or cations.43-45 These dynamic SC–SC transformations involving solid-state reactivity and structural transformation are rarely observed because the molecules are rigidly

and steadily fixed within the crystal lattices.20,

That is to say, SC–SC

transformations mostly occur through the minor movement of atoms as large changes of atoms or groups within lattice often destroy single crystals and yield polycrystalline powder. So far, SC–SC transformation induced by guest removal/inclusion without bond cleavage has been studied extensively.49,

In contrast, examples involving

cleavage and formation of covalent or coordinative bonds, which results in a change of coordination number,51 geometry, dimensionality, chirality, and interpenetration etc. are less common.52-54 Experimentally, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), as well as spectroscopic analytical tools such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermogravimerty (TG), have been applied to monitor solid-state structural transformations.55, 56 Among them, SCXRD is the most reliable method of determining the precise structures before and after the structural transformation. Compared to SCXRD, PXRD provide much less structural information due to the serious overlapping of diffraction peaks, which hamper observation of subtle structural changes such as atomic positions, atomic coordinates, bond lengths, bond angles and guest molecules that play important roles on the measurable physical properties. Herein, we report a systematic study on a CoII coordination

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

Materials and General Methods. All starting materials were purchased of commercially reagent grade and used without further purification. Elemental analyses were performed on a Perkin-Elmer 240 elemental analyzer. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra were recorded from KBr pellets in the range 400-4000 cm−1 on a Nicolet 5DX spectrometer. Variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction (VTPXRD) data were collected in a Rigagu Ultima IV-185 diffractometer. The purity of compound 1 was confirmed by comparison of experimental PXRD patterns with the simulated pattern derived from the X-ray single-crystal data compound. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried under air atmosphere using SETARAM LABSYS equipment at a heating rate of 10 °C/min. The magnetic measurements were made with Quantum Design SQUID MPMS XL-5 instruments. Syntheses. [Co(H2L)(H2O)2]⋅⋅H2O (1). A mixture of CoCl2⋅6H2O (25 mg, 0.1 mmol), H4L (13 mg, 0.033 mmol) and H2O (5 mL) was placed in a 15 mL Teflon-lined stainless reactor and stirred in air for 30 min (H4L = 3,5-bis(3′, 5′-dicarboxylphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole). The mixture was sealed and heated to 160 °C for 168 h, and then it was cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10 °C min−1. After cooling to room temperature, light purple crystals of 1 as a single phase were recovered in 30% yield based on H4L. Anal. Calc. For C18H15CoN3O11: C, 42.54; H, 2.97; N, 8.27.

Crystallographic data of 1-4 were collected on a Bruker SMART APEX CCD area detector diffractometer using Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) by ω and φ scan mode. The program SAINT was used for integration of the diffraction profiles. All the structures were solved by direct methods using the SHELXS program of the SHELXTL package and refined by full-matrix least-squares methods with SHELXL.57 All non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic thermal parameters. All hydrogen atoms of organic ligands were generated theoretically onto the specific carbon atoms and refined isotropically with fixed thermal factors. Drawings of the molecules were performed with the program Diamond.58 Further details for structural analysis are summarized in Table 1. Selected bond lengths and bond angles of 1-4 are shown in Table S1 and Table S2. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Crystal Structure of [Co(H2L)(H2O)2]⋅⋅H2O (1). Compound 1 was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of CoCl2⋅6H2O and H4L in H2O. X-ray single-crystal structural determination reveals that compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. The asymmetric unit consists of one crystallographically independent cobalt (II) ion, two coordinated water molecules, one H2L2− anion and one lattice

water molecule (Fig. 1a). The central Co(1) ion adopts five coordinated geometry, which is surrounded by three carboxylate oxygen atoms from three individual H2L2− groups and two coordinated water molecules to give a geometry intermediate between square pyramid (sp) and trigonal bipyramid (tbp) (Fig. 1a). For the five coordinated structure, there is a geometric parameter τ defined as τ = (β −α) / 60 to describe an index of the degree of trigonality (Fig. S1), within the structural continuum between tbp and sp.59 For a perfectly trigonal-bipyramidal geometry τ is equal to 1 (α = 120°, and β = 180°), while for a perfectly tetragonal geometry τ is equal to zero. From the bond lengths and angles table, the τ value equals to 0.35 in compound 1. It should be noted that one of the carboxyl oxygen atom (O5b) is bridged to the Co(1) center with a weak contact (Co···O, 2.428 Å, in Fig. 3a). The Co(1)–O distances are in the range of 2.022(2)–2.121(3) Å (Table S1). The cis–O–Co(1)–O bond angles are in the range of 86.76(12)–151.79(9)°, and the trans–O–Co(1)–O bond angle is 173.00(11)°. The coordination mode of ligand H2L2− in 1 is shown in Scheme 1 (mode I), in which three of the carboxyl groups adopt (κ1)–(κ1)–(κ1)–µ3–H2L2– coordination mode. The remaining carboxyl group (O7–C18–O8) is protonated. In this way, each penta-coordinated Co(II) is surrounded by three H2L2− anions, and each H2L2− anion links three Co(II) ions, giving a 2D 3-connected 63 layer (Fig. 1b and Fig. 4a). Adjacent layers are linked by van der Waals and weak intermolacular hydrogen bonds with the nearest Co···Co and Co1···O1 distances 5.491 Å and 4.992 Å in adjacent two layers respectively (Fig. 1c).

Thermogravimetry and Variable Temperature Powder X-ray Diffraction of 1. Thermogravimetric analysis under air flow shows there are three mass loss steps in the temperature range from 30 to 850 °C (Fig. S2). The first mass loss is about 2.4% between 90 °C and 140 °C, which corresponds to removal of one lattice water molecule per formula unit (expected 3.5%). The second loss of 8.0% in the range of 170 °C to 380 °C corresponds to further removal of the two coordination water molecules per formula unit (expected 7.1%). The third loss between 380 °C to 810 °C corresponds to the removal of the organic components of the ligand. Variable temperature PXRD patterns were collected for checking the phase purity and further exploring the thermal stability on the bulky samples. As shown in Fig. 5, the experimental PXRD patterns of compound 1 at 30 °C is in good agreement with the simulated data, indicating the good phase purity. With increasing the temperature up to 375 °C, the variable temperature PXRD patterns are almost the same, indicating the short time during measurement didn’t trigger dyhydration and phase transition completely. In addition, the overlap of diffraction peaks and resolution of diffractometer are the other important factor, which lead to unsuccessful monitoring the subtle structural changes. Single-Crystal to Single-Crystal Transitions of 1. An interesting feature in 1 is that network may offer suitable conditions for a solid-state reaction to take place, due to the geometric proximity between the Co(II) centers and existence of O−H···O hydrogen bonds between water molecule and monodentate carboxylate oxygen atom (e.g., Co1···O1c, 4.992 Å, seen Fig. 1c) from adjacent layers.16 It is expected that the

uncoordinated carboxylate oxygen atoms may take up the vacant sites in neighboring layer to form covalent bond when the coordinated water molecules are removed. Following the thermogravimetric analysis and previously reported of SC−SC transitions by removal of solvent molecules from host frameworks,49, 51, 60 the loss of lattice water and coordination water molecules can be achieved by heating 1 at different temperatures for different hours.

[Co(H2L)(H2O)2]⋅0.5H2O (2) without apparent color change (Fig. 6). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 2 maintains original monoclinic space group C2/c (Table 1). The cell volume is decreased by 1.1% in the measured temperature, from 3765.5 to 3746.5 Å3. Different from 1, the asymmetric unit of 2 only contains a lattice water molecule with the occupancy of 0.5 (Fig. S3). The important structure change before and after SC−SC transition is the coordination mode of central Co(1) ion and H2L2−. The central Co(1) ion in 2 changes to six coordinated distorted octahedral geometry which is surrounded by four carboxylate oxygen atoms from three individual (κ1)–(κ1)–(κ2)–µ3–H2L2– groups (Scheme 1, mode II) and two coordinated water molecules (Fig. S3). The coordination mode of the ligand H2L2− is shown in Scheme 1 (mode II), in which one of the carboxylate groups (O5−C17−O6) is chelated to Co(1). The detailed changes of Co(1)–O distances and O–Co(1)–O angles are shown in Fig. 3b. Overall, 2D 63 layer is again observed with the nearest Co···Co and Co1···O1 distances decreased to 5.465 Å and 4.988 Å in adjacent two layers respectively (Fig. S4).

The lattice water molecule in 1 can be removed completely in a SC−SC manner by heating at 150 °C for 3 hours, resulting in [Co(H2L)(H2O)2] (3) without apparent color change (Fig. 6). Compound 3 also crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c (Table 1), and the asymmetric unit is shown in Fig. S5. The cell volume is decreased by 1.6% in the measured temperature, from 3765.5 to 3706.5 Å3. Compared to 2, the important structure change in compound 3 is loss of the lattice water completely. The coordination mode of central Co(1) ion and H2L2− is remained, but the Co(1)–O distances and O–Co(1)–O angles are slightly changed (Fig. 3c). Corresponding the nearest Co···Co and Co1···O1 distances in adjacent two layers further decreased to 5.387 Å and 4.964 Å, respectively (Fig. S6).

When the temperature was increased to 160 °C and held for 6 h, compound 1 experiences loss a lattice water and a coordination water molecule, forming the ligand-replaced compound [Co(H2L)(H2O)] (4) with a significant color change of crystal from lavender to violet (Fig. 6). Compound 4 still maintains original monoclinic space group I2/a (Table 1) with the cell volume is decreased by 4.7% in the measured temperature, from 3765.5 to 3588.2 Å3. Unlike compound 3, the asymmetric unit of 4 only consists of one coordinated water molecule, one cobalt (II) center, and one H2L2− anion (Fig. 2a). The coordination mode of central Co(1) ion in 4 is similar to that in 3 except that one coordination site of cobalt occupied by one coordination water molecule is now replaced by one carboxylate oxygen atom from adjacent layer. In this way, two adjacent Co(II) were bridged by carboxyls to generate

an edge-sharing dimer. For ligand H2L2−, the coordination mode is changed into (κ1–

µ2)–(κ1)–(κ2)–µ4 (shown in Scheme 1, mode III). Each dinuclear unit is surrounded by six (κ1–µ2)–(κ1)–(κ2)–µ4–H2L2− anions, and each H2L2− anion links three dinuclear Co2 units, giving a 2D (3, 6)-connected kgd-topological double layer (Fig. 4b). Adjacent double layers are further extended into a 3D superamolecule framework by van der Waals and weak hydrogen bond interactions (Fig. 2b). Further increasing dehydration temperature and/or enlongating reaction time, no new phase was gained. Attempts to resolvate 4 to obtain the pure product 1 have not been successful yet, indicating that desolvation transformation is irreversible.

Magnetism Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed on crystalline samples of 1 and 4 in the temperature range of 300-2 K with a field of 1000 Oe. The χmT versus T and χm versus T curves of 1 and 4 are shown in Fig. 7. As shown in Figure 7a, the χmT of 1 per Co is 3.85 cm3 K mol−1, which is substantially higher than the spin-only value for a high-spin Co(II) center (S = 3/2, 1.875 cm3 K mol−1), ascribing to the contribution of Co(II) ions. Similar to the magnetic behavior of other reported Co(II),51, 61 the χmT value decreases slowly to a minimum value of 2.66 cm3 K mol−1 at about 16 K, which is a typical manner of spin-orbital coupling and is mainly attributed to the single-ion behavior of Co(II).62 Below 16 K, the χmT value increases abruptly to 3.42 cm3 K mol−1 at 2 K, which may be due to the reminiscent of the onset of magnetic order.62 The temperature dependence of the

reciprocal susceptibilities (1/χm) above 20 K obeys the Curie–Weiss law with [χm = C/(T–θ)], with Curie constant C = 3.98 cm3 K mol−1 and Weiss constant θ = −15.85 K. The M vs H curve at 2 K displays the magnetization increase rapidly to 2.78 Nβ at 15 kOe and further reached gently 3.09 Nβ per Co at 50 kOe (Fig. S7), close to the expected value of 3.0 Nβ for one Co(II) ions. The magnetic behaviors of 4 are distinctly different from those of 1 owing to the presence of the edge-sharing dimer. As shown in Figure 7b, the χmT value of 4 at room-temperature per Co is 3.91 cm3 K mol

−1

, which is already higher than the

expected value of 2.0 cm3 K mol −1 for one spin-only Co(II) ion with S = 3/2 and g = 2.00. Upon cooling of sample, the χmT values increase continuously to a maximum 6.91 cm3 K mol −1 at 3 K and then decreases to 6.83cm3 K mol −1 at 2 K. The increase in χmT value with lowering temperature represents a characteristic feature of intra-dimer ferromagnetic interaction.63 In 4, there exists edge-sharing dimer Co2 linked by two µ2-η2-carboxylate groups, in which the Co–O–Co angle equals 102.35°. It has been generally observed that µ2-η2-carboxylate groups often provide more opportunities for generating ferromagnetism,64, 65 and there is a critical angle (~110°) for the magnetic interaction of M–O–M anti- or ferromagnetic coupling. Therefore, a small Co–O–Co angle is thought to be one of the probable factors in showing a ferromagnetic interaction between Co(II) ions. The decrease of χmT value at very low temperature region may be attributed to either zero-field splitting factor or inter-dimer antiferromagnetic interactions. The magnetic data in the range of 20–300 K followed

the Curie–Weiss law with Curie constant of C = 3.89 cm3 K mol−1 and Weiss constant of θ = 7.12 K. The positive θ value indicates the presence of ferromagnetic interaction between Co ions. For 4, the saturated magnetization of 3.55 Nβ per Co at the highest field of 50 kOe, is close to the expected value of 3.0 Nβ for one ferromagnetic Co(II) ions ( Fig. S8).

CONCLUSIONS

In this work, we have successfully synthesized a coordination polymer with 2D 63 layer, which undergoes a stepwise SC−SC transformations upon heating to give three phases. During the course, not only stepwise the lattice water and/or coordination water molecules could be removed, but also the carboxylates from adjacent layer take up the vacant site result in structural transformation from monolayer into double layer. Besides, local coordination geometries of Co(II) ions and coordination modes of ligand are also changed, which further induced magnetic change from single-ion behavior of Co(II) into intra-dimer ferromagnetism. These findings should be instructive for understanding solid state structural transformation.

Tunability in Metal Coordination Sphere, Ligand Coordination Mode, Network Topology and Magnetism via Stepwise Dehydration Induced Single-crystal to Single-crystal Transformation

Juan-Juan Hou, Xiao-Qing Li, Ping Gao, Han-Qi Sun, Xian-Ming Zhang*

Coordination polymer based on CoII (1) exhibits SC−SC transformations upon stepwise dehydration including lattice and coordination water molecules to form three different stable phases. During stepwise dehydration SC-SC transformation courses, coordination sphere of Co(II) and coordination modes of ligand are changed, and in particular overall network topology is significantly converted from 3-connected 63-hcb to (3,6)-connected kgd, accompanied by magnetism changes from single-ion behavior of Co(II) to intra-dicobalt ferromagnetism.
