Thermostructural Behavior in a Series of Lanthanide-Containing Polyoxotungstate Hybrids with Copper(II) Complexes of the Tetraazamacrocycle Cyclam: A Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal Transformation Study
A series of 14 isostructural [Cu(cyclam)](2)[{Cu(cyclam)}4{(a-GeW11O39)Ln(H2O)-(OAc)(12)].18H(2)O (1-Ln, where Ln = La Lu; cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) polyoxometalate-based hybrids reported herein represent (i) the first example of a twodimensional covalent hybrid lattice involving the [{(aXWI 1039)Ln(H2O)(OAc)}2in- archetype and (ii) the first structural characterization of such a dimeric polyoxotungste for Ln = La and Pr as well as for the combination of X = Ge and Ln = Ce, Nd, Sm, or Lu. Compounds 1-Ln have been characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis, and their thermostructural behavior has been monitored by powder and single-crystal Xray diffraction. The title compounds undergo two single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations triggered dehydration leading to the [{Cu(cydam)}6{(alpha-GeW11O39)Ln(H2O)(OAc)}2]-4H(2)O intermediate (2-Ln, where Ln = Eu or Er) and [Cu(cyclam)]0.5[{Cu(cyclam)}55{(alpha-GeW11O39)Ln(0Ac)}2] (3-Ln, where Ln = Ce or Eu) final anhydrous phases, the latter evidencing a coordinatively unsaturated derivative of the dimeric archetype for the first time. These transitions involve formation and disruption of Cu Opom bonds that result in different {Cu(cydam)}(2+) moieties grafting onto and being released from Keggin surfaces, which reduces the dimensionality of 1-Ln to one-dimensional covalent assemblies for 2-Ln and 3-Ln. While all 3-Ln phases rehydrate fully upon exposure to air for 24 h, the kinetics governing the crystal transitions back toward 1Ln through 2-Ln depend on the nature of Ln. Under ambient moisture, the anhydrous structures fully revert back to the parent framework for Ln = La Sm, while the samples containing Eu to Lu afford mixtures of 1-Ln and 2-Ln and require immersion in water for the structural reversion to reach completion. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of the rehydrated 1R-Ln samples (Ln = Ce, Eu, and Er) support these observations.
