Nickel 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate coordination polymers – Synthesis, Characterization, Phase study, and Magnetic Properties Prashant Russel K Feller #, Naresh Tony Cheetham #, and Harold Dept. of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Florida State University, # Materials Research Laboratory, University of California, Santa Barbara Overview Coordination polymers or metal organic frameworks are of great recent research interest due to their interesting topologies and potential applications as functional materials. Hydrothermal chemistry has been widely used for preparation of these compounds. Control of products in the hydrothermal reactions is still an exciting challenge for the chemists. Here we report the synthesis of five nickel complexes starting from identical reaction mixture. A detailed study was conducted to determine the way in which reaction conditions governed the resulting phases. Temperature and concentration were found to be the two main determining factors. Products Five nickel complexes were observed. Structures of three complexes were solved by single crystal XRD. For complex 4 (space group R3-c) the temperature dependence of reciprocal of the susceptibility is linear above 60 K and obeys the Curie-Weiss law with a Weiss constant θ = K and C = 9.43 cm 3 K mol -1. The C value correspond to the six non-interacting Ni II ions (S=1) with g = χT value at room temperature (6.33 cm 3 K mol -1 ) is lower then an expected value (7.33 cm 3 K mol -1 ). Effect of reaction conditions As shown in the reaction condition diagram, it was possible to synthesize pure complexes. Other variables (eg. solvent volume, fill volume, stirring etc.) do not affect the products though they have an effect on crystal size. Compound 4 has a unique structure with hexanuclear nickel cluster forming 2-D layers. Magnetic measurement for 4, suggest that there are competing ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic behavior with complex being anti-ferromagnetic at lower temperatures. Reaction time was reduced to less then 2 hours in microwave synthesis with higher yield. Magnetic studies are underway to understand interactions within these complexes.
