First Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Compounds Formed by Ge-V-O Clusters and Transition Metal Complexes of Aromatic Organic Ligands.

ABSTRACT: Three compounds based on Ge-V-O clusters were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, XRD, ESR, elemental analysis and X-ray crystal structural analysis. Both [Cd(phen)(en)]₂[Cd₂(phen)₂V₁₂O₄₀Ge₈(OH)₈(H₂O)]∙12.5H₂O (1) and [Cd(DETA)]₂[Cd(DETA)₂]_0.5[Cd₂(phen)₂V₁₂O₄₁Ge₈(OH)₇(0.5H₂O)]∙7.5H₂O (2) (1,10-phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, en = ethylenediamine, DETA = diethylenetriamine) are the first Ge-V-O cluster compounds containing aromatic organic ligands. Compound 1 is the first dimer of Ge-V-O clusters, which is linked by a double bridge of two [Cd(phen)(en)]²⁺. Compound 2 exhibits an unprecedented 1-D chain structure formed by Ge-V-O clusters and [Cd₂(DETA)₂]⁴⁺ transition metal complexes (TMCs). [Cd(en)₃]{[Cd(η₂-en)₂]₃[Cd(η₂-en)(η₂-μ₂-en)(η₂-en)Cd][Ge₆V₁₅O₄₈(H₂O)]}∙5.5H₂O (3) is a novel 3-D structure which is constructed from [Ge₆V₁₅O₄₈(H₂O)]^12- and four different types of TMCs. We also synthesized [Zn₂(enMe)₃][Zn(enMe)]₂[Zn(enMe)₂(H₂O)]₂[Ge₆V₁₅O₄₈(H₂O)]∙3H₂O (4) and [Cd(en)₂]₂{H₈[Cd(en)]₂Ge₈V₁₂O₄₈(H₂O)}∙6H₂O (5) (enMe = 1,2-propanediamine), which have been reported previously. In addition, the catalytic properties of these five compounds for styrene epoxidation have been assessed.
