Abstract

Four organoammonium diphosphopentamolybdate(VI) with the formulae (C5H7N2)6[P2Mo5O23]P5H2O (1), (C2H10N2)3[P2Mo5O23]P6H2O (2), Al(C4H15N3)4[HP2Mo5O23]2ClP10H2O (3) and (C4H12N)4[H2P2Mo5O23]P5H2O (4) have been synthesized. The crystal structures have been determined by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The geometrical characteristics of the [HnP2Mo5O23](6yn)y heteropolyanions have been compared with those described in the literature for other salts. Several relationships between the protonated state and topological changes in the heteropolyanions have been found. The crystal structure in compound 1 is stabilized by electrostatic forces, an extensive network of hydrogen contacts involving anions, cations and water moleculesand p–p interactions among 4-aminopyridinium cations. The anions of compound 2 are arranged in layers perpendicular to the [1# 10] direction. The interactions between anions are established through hydrogen contacts which involve water molecules and ethylenediammonium cations. The monohydrogendiphosphopentamolybdate(VI) anions in the crystal structure of compound 3 are joined along the [010] direction by means of strong O–H∆O interactions (d(O∆O)s2.529(10) A˚) which lead to a polymeric structure of [HP2Mo5O23]5y polyanions. Likewise, a similar anion polymeric arrangement is found in compound 4 in which the diprotonated polyanions are held together by means of two strong hydrogen bonds (d(O∆O)s2.591(6) and 2.596(6) A˚).

1. Introduction

The chemistry of molybdenum(VI), tungsten(VI) and vanadium(V) in aqueous solution is dominated by the formation of iso- and heteropolyoxometalates. The structures of many salts of heteropolyacids have been determined. The general formula for such compounds may be written as MmHnYyXxOzPpH2O, where M is a cation, X is a non-metal (usually P, Si, B, As or S) and Y is a transition metal (usually Mo, W or V). It was long believed that the ratio x:y was confined to the range 9Fx:yF12 due to the earliest structure determinations [1,2]. In 1971, Petterson found indications for the existence of diphosphopentamolybdate anions, x:ys2.5, in a careful study of aqueous heteropolyanion systems [3]. Later structures such as Na6[P2Mo5O23]P13H2O, Na4[H2P2Mo5O23]P10H2O and (NH4)5[HP2Mo5O23]P U

3H2O were determined [4–6], providing evidence for this. Hori et al. determined the structure of Na[N(CH3)4]3[S2Mo5O23]P4H2O and published a review of the structures of heteropolyacids salts for which the ratio x:y is 2.5 [7]. A polymeric nickel complex with formula (NH4)8Ni[(HP2Mo5O23)2]P12H2O has been described [8]. Recently, a novel conjunction of hetero(macro)cycles and a diphosphopentamolybdate cage has been achieved by the synthesis of the first examples of polyoxomolybdate cages derivatized with hetero(macro)cycles with general formula [(ZP)2Mo5O21]2y [9]. In the last years, there is much current interest in the way molecules and ions are organized in the solid state to form novel materials with improved electrical, optical, magnetic or catalytic properties. In this respect, although there have been theoretical studies on packing interactions in simple organic systems, up to now, very few systematic reports have been published analyzing correlations between the character-

istic of the individual components (ions or neutral molecules) and the way in which a crystalline inorganiccompound is constructed and organized. This research would be of particular importance in the field of polyoxometalate chemistry, since this kind of compound is used as a catalyst and the features of organic cations play an important role not only in the crystal packing determination but also in the catalytic properties such as particle size, porosity and thermal stability [10]. In this context, during our studies on the chemistry of organic salts of iso- and heteropolyoxometalates, we have chemically and structurally characterized four salts of phosphopolyoxometalates with an x:y ratios2.5: the hexakis(4-aminopyridinium)diphosphopentamolybdate(VI)pentahydrate (1), tris(ethylenediammonium) diphosphopentamolybdate(VI) hexahydrate (2), aluminium tetrakis(3-aza1,5-pentamethylenediammonium) bis[hydrogendiphosphopentamolybdate(VI)] chloride decahydrate (3) and tetrakis(t-butylammonium) dihydrogendiphosphopentamolybdate(VI) pentahydrate (4). The choice of the organoamine bases was determined by the presence of amino groups capable of establishing strong hydrogen bonds which involve the oxygen atoms as acceptors and stabilize the crystal structure of this kind of compound. Second, it is well known that cation features, such as length, size and number of amino groups, play an important role in the crystal packing of polyoxometalate salts. The aim of our work is to study the influence of the cation characteristic and the protonation degree of the polyanion on the structural unit interactions and — as a consequence — on the crystal organization in these phosphomolybdate species with a 2.5 x:y ratio. 2. Results and discussion 2.1. Syntheses and spectroscopic characterization

Isolation of polyanions from solution can be achieved by addition of alkylamines or aromatic amines as counterions

[11–15] that provide groups which may participate in an extensive network of hydrogen bonding with either oxygen atoms from the polyanions or from water molecules playing an important role in the photochemical properties [16–18] of this kind of compound. In the present work we have employed 4-aminopyridine, ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine and t-butylamine organic bases in order to study the differences present in the crystal structure due to cation– cation and cation–anion interactions. IR spectroscopy is a good method for identifying the type of polyanion and the presence of protonated organic cations. As expected on the basis of the literature the bands corresponding to the heteropolyanions are detectable in the 1300–400 cmy1 range (Table 1) and the presence of well differentiated Mo–O and P–O linkages in the heteropolyanion structure indicates the possibility of a great number of internal vibrations [19]. 2.2. Structures of compounds 1–4

The asymmetrical units of the compounds contain: six 4-aminopyridinium cations, five water molecules and one diphosphopentamolybdate(VI) anion for compound 1; three ethylenediammonium cations, six water molecules and one diphosphopentamolybdate(VI) anion for compound 2; one aluminium, on a two-fold crystallographic axis, two 3-aza1,5-pentamethylenediammonium cations, one chloride anion, 50% population, five water molecules and one hydrogendiphosphopentamolybdate(VI) anion for compound 3; six t-butylammonium cations, five water molecules and one dihydrogendiphosphopentamolybdate(VI) anion for compound 4. The diphosphopentamolybdate anion, [HnP2Mo5O23](6yn)y, is built up of five MoO6 octahedra and two PO4 tetrahedra. The octahedra form a pentagonal ring by sharing four edges and one corner. The PO4 tetrahedra are attached each one to one side of the ring by three oxygen atoms (Fig. 1). Mo–

Table 2 Mo∆Mo, Mo∆P and P∆P distances (A˚) and Mo–O and P–O bond lengths (A˚) for compounds 1–4

Fig. 1. ORTEP view (thermal ellipsoids at the 50% probability level) of the [HnP2Mo5O23](6yn)y polyanion with atom labelling. For compound 3, the O22 atom is protonated and for compound 4, both the O22 and O23 atoms are protonated.

Mo, Mo–P distances and Mo–O and P–O bond lengths are given in Table 2. Each octahedra has four bridge oxygen atoms and two terminal oxygen atoms. There are two types of Mo–Mo distances: (a) those between octahedra sharing edges (3.319–3.402 A˚); (b) between octahedra sharing corners which are significantly longer (3.671–3.677 A˚). Mo–P distances are in the range 3.311–3.641 A˚. P–P distances are 3.802, 3.793, 3.781 and 3.756 A˚ respectively, for compounds 1–4. The Mo–O bond lengths can be classified into three groups: (i) short, Mo–Ot, 1.692–1.728 A˚; (ii) medium, Mo–Ob, oxygen atoms being shared by two molybdenum atoms, 1.891– 1.958 A˚; (iii) long, Mo–Ob, oxygen atoms being shared by phosphorus and molybdenum atoms, 2.170–2.468 A˚. Each molybdenum atom has two short distances with terminal oxygen atoms, two medium distances and two long ones. The tetrahedral coordination around phosphorus is almost regular, with P–O bond distances ranging between 1.504 and 1.572 A˚. In the non-protonated polyanion the P–O bond distance to the unshared oxygen atom (Ot) is shorter than those involving the oxygen atoms shared by the molybdenum atoms. In compounds 3 and 4 a lengthening of the P–Ot bond distance can be observed for the protonated oxygen. This is in accordance with crystal structures previously reported. Although the polyanions for all four compounds show a similar geometry, the degree of protonation leads to distinguishable features. Polyanions of compounds 1–4 have been compared with other organic and inorganic diphosphopentamolybdate salts previously published (Table 3). The molybdenum atoms of the pentagonal ring are nearly on the same plane and no significant deviations are observed as a consequence of the protonation degree. However, the influence of the protonation is clearly visible in the P–P distances. The higher the protonated state is, the shorter the P–P distance gets. This fact is clearly observable in the sodium salts for which the P–P distances range from 3.824 to 3.707 A˚ in unprotonated and diprotonated anions, respectively.

the extensive hydrogen bonding network, several significant differences in each crystal organization can be noticed. 2.2.1. Crystal packing in compound 1

The diphosphopentamolybdate anions are located in two

z levels, zs1/4 and zs3/4, parallel to the [100] direction

(Fig. 2). Anions, organic cations and water molecules are joined by a three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds of types: N–H∆O (2.653–3.228 A˚), N–H∆Ow (2.818–3.420 A˚), Ow–Hw∆O (2.824–3.115 A˚) and Ow–Hw∆Ow (2.765–2.997 A˚). It is interesting to note the distribution of aromatic cations in the unit cell leading to a great number of p–p interactions [23]. The presence of this type of interaction has been evaluated [24] and the results are shown in Table 4. Three face-to-face (P) interactions and two edgeon (T) ones have been found. The face-to-face stacked cations are offset one from another and show a staggered orientation, presumably to minimize electrostatic repulsions

and steric hindrances between the ammonium and amine groups. Although face-to-face stacking geometry is disfavored by p–p repulsion, the presence of a positively charged atom, the nitrogen atom of the aromatic ring, leads to these three interactions. It is important to notice the strong interaction between cations Xs6, with a clear overlapping of the aromatic rings. The p–p interactions in the edge-ongeometry take place through the carbon atoms, CX2 and CX3 of the vertical T-group. 2.2.2. Crystal packing in compound 2

The diphosphopentamolybdate anions are arranged in layers perpendicular to the [1# 01] direction (Fig. 3). There is no direct interaction between polyanions belonging to different layers, even though the shortest O∆O distance is 3.365 A˚ between two terminal oxygens O23. The ethylenediammonium cations, with a gauche conformation, and water molecules are located between layers and participate in the

formation of an extensive network of hydrogen bonds of types N–H∆O (2.722–3.151 A˚), N–H∆Ow (2.783–3.165 A˚), Ow–Hw∆O (2.740–3.002 A˚) and Ow–Hw∆Ow (2.713– 2.785 A˚). 2.2.3. Crystal packing in compound 3 The crystal structure of 3 projected onto the (001) plane

is shown in Fig. 4. The hydrogendiphosphopentamolybdate anions are located in two x levels, xs0 and xs1/2. The pentagonal molybdate framework of the anions is located parallel to the (010) plane with the P–P vectors parallel to the [010] direction. The formation of strong hydrogen bonding (d(O∆O)s2.529 A˚) [25] between the protonated terminal oxygen atom O23 and the non-protonated oxygen atom O22 of the adjacent polyanion through the hydrogen atom H1 favors the polymeric disposition of the [HP2Mo5O23]5y polyanions along the b axis. The organic cations occupy the space among the polyanions. One of the 3-aza-1,5-diethylenediammonium cations (Xs1), with a trans configuration, is situated along the [001] direction. The other 3-aza-1,5-diethylenetriammonium cation (Xs2), with gauche–trans–trans–gauche

configuration, is located surrounding two adjacent diphosphopentamolybdate(VI) anions and joining them together by hydrogen bonds that involve the three N atoms. Cations, anions and water molecules are positioned so as to be able to join themselves via hydrogen bonding, N–H∆O (2.727– 3.182 A˚), N–H∆Ow (2.651–2.919 A˚), O–H∆O (2.529 A˚), Ow–Hw∆O (2.728–3.359 A˚), Ow–Hw∆Ow (2.765 A˚), N–H∆Cl (3.071 A˚) and Ow–H∆Cl (3.002 A˚). 2.2.4. Crystal packing in compound 4 The crystal structure of 4 is shown

in Fig. 5. Each [H2P2Mo5O23]4y anion is joined with the two adjacent polyanions by means of strong hydrogen contacts of the type O–H∆O (O22∆O17s2.591 and O23∆O16s2.596 A˚) [25], forming chains parallel to the [001] direction. This catenary arrangement is reinforced with other hydrogen bonds that involve the water molecules and the cations Xs1 (N11) and Xs3 (N31). Anions placed in different chains are joined through the water molecules O24w and O25w. The hydrophobic groups of the t-butylammonium cations are directed towards the regions ys0 and xs1/2. The different hydrogen bonds within the structure can be classified into

the total organic cation pyrolysis and the inorganic residue evolution. For compounds 1, 2 and 4, final residues were identified by their X-ray powder diffraction patterns as a mixture of MoO3 and P2O5 in an approximate 5:1 ratio. However, other peaks are observed in the diffractograms which could not be identified but they may be attributable to phosphomolybdo species. For compound 3, several peaks corresponding to Al2O3 can also be detected. 3. Conclusions

Fig. 4. View along the [001] direction of compound 3. Down: a axis; right: b axis.

The crystallographic study of the diphosphopentamolybdate salts reported here, together with the ones previously published, reveal that the protonated or unprotonated state of the diphosphopentamolybdate anion and the type of counterion have a strong influence on the crystal packing of the diphosphopentamolybdate salts (Table 5). The salts of the unprotonated diphosphopentamolybdate anion present a crystal packing based on polyanion layers whereas monoprotonated and diprotonated anions lead to a catenary arrangement of polyanions through hydrogen bonds, involving the terminal oxygen atoms of the PO4 groups, such as Ot–H∆Ot for monoprotonated or Ot–H∆Op for diprotonated anions. Although this fact is always observed whenever an organic counterion is used, some specific considerations must be pointed out if an inorganic counterion like Naq is present. This cation induces the formation of a catenary arrangement of polyanions through its coordination sphere no matter the protonation state. 4. Experimental 4.1. Materials and methods

five types: N–H∆O (2.879–3.351 A˚), N–H∆Ow (2.799– 3.340 A˚), O–H∆O (2.591–2.596 A˚), Ow–Hw∆O (2.808– 3.190 A˚) and Ow–Hw∆Ow (2.760–3.050 A˚). Similar hydrophobic zones have been found in the crystal structure of other t-butylammonium polyoxometallates [26]. 2.3. Thermal analysis

The thermal behavior of the compounds was studied under dynamic air atmosphere. All the compounds are quite stable and their thermal degradation starts with the loss of the crystallization water molecules during several overlapped endothermic processes which take place between 50 and 135 8C. The anhydrous compounds are stable up to around 200 8C beyond which the thermal decompositions are followed by

All reagents were purchased from Merck and were used without further purification. C, H and N analyses were performed on a Perkin-Elmer 240 analyzer. The densities were measured by flotation in CHBr3/CCl4. IR spectra were recorded in the 4000–400 cmy1 range on a Nicolet 740 FTIR spectrometer, and the solid compounds were mixed with fused potassium bromide and pressed into transparent disks. A Setaram TAG 24 S16 thermobalance was used to obtain the differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves, simultaneously, in an argon– oxygen atmosphere (4:1) with a heating rate of 5 8C miny1. 4.2.

by least-squares refinement of the angular setting of 25 reflections. Intensities were collected with the v–2u scan technique. Crystal stability was monitored by recording two check reflections at intervals of 200 data for compounds 1 and 3 and every 100 reflections for compounds 2 and 4; no significant variations were detected. All data were corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects. An empirical absorption correction was applied [27].

atoms of the polyanions were found on successive Fourier syntheses. Anisotropic refinements were carried out by fullmatrix least-squares analyses. The hydrogen atoms of the

cations and water molecules were placed in calculated positions and assigned fixed isotropic thermal parameters.Inaddition, the hydrogen atoms belonging to the protonated anions were found in the corresponding electron density difference map and refined in their positions. Final positionalparameters are reported in Tables 7–10. Most calculations were carried out using the XRAY76 system [30] running on a MicroVAX II computer. Acknowledgements
