Abstract
This research reports the synthesis of a novel multifunctional compound [Cu(Cy)(L)2](X)2.2H2O which exhibiting a combination of intriguing properties. Among the four steps synthesis process, in the 1st step 4-Hexadecyloxy pyridine ligand (L) was prepared, where the 2nd step involved dinuclear copper complex formation [Cu2(4-FC6H4COO)4(CH3CH2OH)2].2H2O, the penultimate step lead the formation of the intermediate [Cu(Cy)(H2O)2](FC6H4COO)2.2H2O, and the final reaction of the intermediate with the ligand (L) to yield the desired metallomesogen, [Cu(Cy)(L)2](FC6H4COO)2.2H2O as a dark-purple powder. Elemental analysis confirmed the chemical formula of the synthesized final complex as C66H10CuF2N6O6, with calculated and found values for each element matching closely (calculated vs found; C: 67.1 % vs. 67.6 %, H: 9.1 % vs. 10.3 %, N: 7.1 % vs. 6.0 %). A distinctive d-d transition band at 547 nm indicates optical activity in the compound, pointing to a trans-III octahedral geometry around the Cu(II) ion. It also exhibits paramagnetic behavior with a magnetic moment of 1.7 B.M. Notably, the compound demonstrates excellent thermal stability up to 240 °C and exhibits ionic liquid character with low melting point of 44 °C observed by POM and multiple phase transitions elucidated by DSC. This facile synthesis approach has yielded a promising material with potential applications in various fields of material science, encompassing mesogenic, optical, magnetic, thermal, and ionic liquid properties.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
