Crystal Structure and Theoretical Studies of Tetrahytrate(1-H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dicarboxylicacid)nickel

A new compound, [Ni（Hdctrz）（H2O）4]（1, H3dctrz = 1-H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acid）, has been successfully synthesized via slow evaporation. The structure of 1 was characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 6.871（1）, b = 11.468（1）, c = 12.178（1） A, b = 101.291（1）o, V = 941.01（16） A3, Z = 4, C4H9N3O8Ni, Mr = 285.85, Dc = 2.018 g·cm–3, m = 2.10 mm–1, F（000） = 584, GOOF = 1.025, the final R = 0.0515 and wR = 0.2125 for 1404 observed reflections（I 〉 2s（I））. The crystal structure is assembled by a slightly distorted {NiNO5} octahedral geometry and hydrogen bonds viz. N–H…O, O–H…O, C–O…π and π···π weak interactions. A rare π···π interaction from triazolate and carboxylate is affirmed through the molecular orbitals（MO） of three adjacent Ni CN molecules. The 3D Hirshfeld surface analysis was employed to gain additional insight into the interactions responsible for the packing of compound 1. Quantitative examination of 2D fingerprint plots revealed, amongst others, the dominating participation of O···H, N···H and π···π interactions in the molecular packing.

A new 3D metal-organic framework of {[Co3（IDC）2（bipy）2（py）2]·7H2O}n （1） was obtained by the hydrothermal reaction of Co（NO3）2·6H2O, imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid （H3IDC）, 4,4＇-bipyridine （bipy）, and pyridine （py）, and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction crystal structural analysis reveals that it crystallizes in orthorhombic system, space group Pccn with a = 11.1040（3）, b = 19.8834（5）, c = 21.3025（5）, V = 4703.3（2）3, Mr = 1079.63, Z = 4, Dc = 1.525 Mg·m-3, F（000） = 2212, μ（CuKα） = 8.855 mm-1, the final R = 0.0331 and wR = 0.0713 for 2525 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ（I）. In compound 1, each cobalt（II） ion is six-coordinated with a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry, and each μ3-IDC3- acts as a bridge to bond three neighboring Co（II） ions, leading to an infinite 2D network layer structure of [Co3（IDC）2]n with Kagomé lattice. The adjacent layers are further linked by μ2-bipy to form an infinite 3D layered-pillared framework architecture of [Co3（IDC）2（bipy）2（py）2]n.

Blue-emissions Modulated by Packing Forces in Alkaline-earth Metal OrganicFrameworks Based on Thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic: Structures and Theoretical Calculations

Solvothermal reactions of Ca(NO), Sr(NO)with thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic in DMF afforded two new inorganic-organic hybrid frameworks, [M(TDC)(DMF)]n(M = Ca(1), Sr(2), TDC = thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic, DMF = N,N?-dimethylformamide), which have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and IR spectra. Both compounds feature three-dimensional(3D) frameworks based on the versatile coordinated modes(μ-η~2:η~2, μ-η~2:η~1, μ-η~2:η~1) of carboxylic groups in tdc ligands. C–H···S hydrogen bonds and C–H···π interactions contribute to the stabilization of the structures. They exhibit weaker packing force compared with their literature isomers. Consequently, blue and blue/green luminescence of two compounds has been observed. Their luminescence mechanism can be ascribed to ligand-to-metal charge transfer(LMCT) compared with the ligand-centered luminescence in their isomers. Electronic structural calculations illustrate that under the condition of weaker packing forces, larger gaps can be achieved, which facilitate the LMCT. This work suggests that the introduction of S-heteroatom can result in more electrons rich in the metal centers, thus giving rise to metal-involved luminescence.

Altered expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 alpha after acute diffuse brain injury Effect of the competitive antagonist 1-aminoindan-1, 5-dicarboxylic acid

The diffuse brain injury model was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats, according to Marmarou＇s free-fall attack. The water content in brain tissue, expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor la mRNA and protein were significantly increased after injury, reached a peak at 24 hours, and then gradually decreased. After treatment with the competitive antagonist of metabotropic glutamate receptor la, （RS）-l-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid, the water content of brain tissues decreased between 12-72 hours after injury, and neurological behaviors improved at 2 weeks. These experimental findings suggest that the 1-aminoindan-1, 5-dicarboxylic acid may result in marked neuroprotection against diffuse brain injury.

Expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1a in a rat cortical neuronal model of in vitro mechanical injury and the effects of its competitive antagonist (RS)-1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid

The present study established a rat cortical neuronal model of in vitro mechanical injury. At 30 minutes after injury, the survival rate of the injured cortical neurons was decreased compared with normal neurons, and was gradually decreased with aggravated degree of injury. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction results showed that at 1 hour after injury, there was increased expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor la in cortical neurons. Immunohistochemical staining results showed that at 30 minutes after injury, the number of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1a-positive cells increased compared with normal neurons. At 12 hours after injury, lactate dehydrogenase activity in the （RS）-l-aminoindan-1, 5-dicarboxylic acid （AIDA）-treated injury neurons was si[jnificantly decreased than that in the pure injury group. At 1 hour after injury, intracellular free Ca＂＋ concentration was markedly decreased in the AIDA-treated injury neurons than that in the pure injury neurons. These findings suggest that after mechanical injury to cortical neurons, metabotropic glutamate receptor la expression increased. The resulting increase in intracellular free Ca2＋ concentration was blocked by AIDA, indicating that AIDA exhibits neuroprotective effects after mechanical injury.

Study on thermal decomposition kinetics of azobenzene-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid by using compensation parameter method and nonlinear fitting evaluation

Recently,azobenzene-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid(ADCA)has been produced gradually for use as an organic synthesis or pharmaceutical intermediate due to its eminent performance.With large quantities put into application in the future,the thermal stability of this substance during storage,transportation,and use will become quite important.Thus,in this work,the thermal decomposition behavior,thermal decomposition kinetics,and thermal hazard of ADCA were investigated.Experiments were conducted by using a SENSYS evo DSC device.A combination of differential iso-conversion method,compensation parameter method,and nonlinear fitting evaluation were also used to analyze thermal kinetics and mechanism of ADCA decomposition.The results show that when conversion rate α increases,the activation energies of ADCA's first and main decomposition peaks fall.The amount of heat released during decomposition varies between 182.46 and 231.16 J·g^(-1).The proposed kinetic equation is based on the Avrami-Erofeev model,which is consistent with the decomposition progress.Applying the Frank-Kamenetskii model,a calculated self-accelerating decomposition temperature of 287.0℃is obtained.
