New Set of Multicomponent Crystals as Efficient Heterogeneous Catalysts for the Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonates.

ABSTRACT: Three new multicomponent crystals 1a-1c of Zn(II), Mn(II), and Co(II), respectively, were synthesized by the reaction of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine, the respective metal salts, and sodium benzoate in a 1:1:2 ratio. One component of these multicomponent crystals 1a-1c is the dicationic 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine metal complex and the other component is the dianionic tetrabenzoate complex of the same metal. The complexes were fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. The X-ray structure of these compounds 1a-1c reveals the formation of 1D supramolecular chain parallel to the crystallographic b axis via H-bonding interactions between the dicationic and dianionic parts of the respective compound. The Mn(II) (1b) and Co(II) (
