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.

Pig Liver Esterase-catalyzed Hydrolysis of Three Diesters of meso-Bicyclic Dicarboxylic Acid and Three Tetraesters of Tetrahydrofuran -2,3,4,5-tetracarboxylic Acid

Three diesters of exo- syn-meso-oxabicyclo (2, 2, 1 ) -hept- 5- ene- 2, 3- dicarboxylic acid and three tetraesters of tetrahydrofuran-2, 3, 4, 5-tetracarboxylic acid were synthesized and tested with enantioselective hydrolysis catalyzed by pig liver esterase(PLE). The results of the PLEcatalyzed hydrolysis were discussed.

Synthesis and characterization of two novel coordination polymers based on the rigid 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid ligand

Two novel three-dimensional (3-D) coordination polymers, [Pb(HTDA)]n (1) and [Co5(TDA)2(H2TDA)2(H2O)8]n (2) [H3TDA = 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid], have been prepared by hydrothermal reactions and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is constructed from rod-shaped secondary building units (SBUs) and exhibits a 3-D network with (410·65)(410·63·82) topology. Compound 2 is built up from ligands bridging three different cobalt ions and exhibits a 3-D network with (4·82)3(4·82·103) topology. In addition, the thermal stabilities of the two compounds, the photoluminescence properties of compound 1 and the magnetic properties of compound 2 have been studied.
