Homochiral Helical Metal-Organic Frameworks of Group 1 Metals
The reactions of (S)-2-(1,8:naphthalirnido)propanoic add (HLaia) and (S)-2-(1,8-naphthalimido)-3-hydroxypropanoic acid (HL,), protonated forms of ligands that contain a carboxylate donor group, an enantiopure chiral center, and a 1,8-naphthalimide rir stacking supramolecular tecton and in the case of HL r an alcohol functional group, with the appropriate alkali metal hydroxide followed by a variety of crystallization methods leads to the formation of crystalline K(L313)(MeOH) (1), K(L-ala)(H2O) (2), Na(L-ala)(H2O) (3), KLser (4), CsLser(5), and CsLak (6). Each of these new complexes has a solid state structure based on sixcoordinate metals linked into. homochiral helical rod secondary building unit (SBU) central cores. In addition to the bonding of the carboxylate and solvent (in the case of L-ser, the ligand alcohol) to the metals, both oxygens on the 1,8-naphthalimide act as donor groups. One naphthalimide oxygen bonds to the same helical rod SBU as the carboxylate group of that ligand forming a chelate ring. The other naphthalimide oxygen bonds to adjacent SBUs. In complexes 1-3, this inter rod link has a square arrangement bonding four other rods forming a three- dimensional enantiopure metal organic framework (MOF) structure, whereas in 4-6 this link has a linear arrangement bonding two other rods forming a two-dimensional, sheet structure. In the latter case, the third dimension is supported exclusively by interdigitated pi-pi stacking interactions of the naphthalimide supramolecular tecton, forming enantiopure supramolecular MOF solids. Compounds 1-3 lose the coordinated solvent when heating above 100 C. For 1, the polycrystalline powder reverts to I only by recrystallization from methanol, whereas compounds 2 and 3 undergo gas/solid, single-crystal to single-crystal transformations to form dehydrated compounds 2* and 3*, and rehydration occurs when crystals of these new complexes are left out in air. The reversible single crystal to single crystal transformation of 2 involves the dissociation/coordination of a terminal water ligand, but the case of 3 is remarkable considering that the water that is lost is the only bridging ligand between the metals in the helical rod SBU and a carboxylate oxygen that is a terminal ligand in 3 moves into a bridging position in 3* to maintain the homochiral helical rods. Both 2* and 3* contain five coordinate metals There are no coordinated solvents in compounds 4-6, in two cases by designed ligand modification, which allows them to have high thermal stability. Compounds 1-3 did not exhibit : observable Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) efficiency at an incident wavelength of 1064 nm, but compounds 4-6 did exhibit modest SHG efficiency for MOF-like compounds in the range of 30 x a-SiO2.
