Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will consider reports on the chemistry and application of organoelement and organometallic compounds and polymers. The combination of organic particles with heteroatomic centers through covalent or coordination bonds provides a variety of materials with versatile architectures and a wide range of properties and applications. Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, magnetism, luminescence, gas storage, sensing, and supramolecular chemistry are the most actively developing areas of organoelement chemistry. In addition, the rational design of compounds’ topology and the combination of organic and inorganic building blocks in hybrid materials allow the fabrication of multifunctional and/or stimulus-responsive materials with finely tuned properties. Papers devoted to a comprehensive study of synthesis–structure–property correlations are especially welcome.

Dr. Dmitry Tsymbarenko

Abstract
A new strategy for the easy polymerization of anionic [Ln(Qcy)4] (HQcy-4-(cyclohexanecarbonyl)-5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one) into two-dimensional layers of [AgLn(Qcy)4]n (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb and Dy) is proposed by binding the single molecular [...] Read more.
A new strategy for the easy polymerization of anionic [Ln(Qcy)4] (HQcy-4-(cyclohexanecarbonyl)-5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one) into two-dimensional layers of [AgLn(Qcy)4]n (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb and Dy) is proposed by binding the single molecular anions [Ln(Qcy)4] to silver cations through the coordination of the pyridinic nitrogen atoms of the pyrazolonate rings. The luminescent properties of [AgLn(Qcy)4]n have been studied in detail, and it was shown that the previously described low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of [Eu(Qcy)4] is due to Ligand-To-Metal Charge Transfer (LMCT) quenching, which is effectively suppressed in the heterometallic [AgEu(Qcy)4]n polymer. Sensibilization coefficients for H3O[Eu(Qcy)4], [AgEu(Qcy)4]n, and H3O[Sm(Qcy)4] complexes (n ≈ 1) were estimated via theoretical analysis (also by using Judd-Ofelt theory for Sm3+) and PLQY measurements.

A new family of 14 isostructural [Ln(piv)3(en)] lanthanide pivalate (piv, 2,2-dimethylpropanoate) complexes with ethylenediamine (en) was synthesized by a topology-preserving transformation from 1D coordination polymers [Ln(piv)3]. The crystal structures of the compounds were determined by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, which demonstrated that despite the regular ligand arrangement within the chains, the latter are intricately packed within the partially ordered crystal, as only two of four ligands are strictly bound by the translational symmetry. The peculiarities of the lanthanide coordination environment were explored by total X-ray scattering with pair distribution function analysis. Periodic DFT calculations revealed the chain stabilization by intrachain H-bonds and weak interchain interactions. Noticeably, the energy difference was infinitesimally small even between the two considered extreme variants of ordered packing, which is in line with the disturbed packing order of the chains. The luminescent properties of Eu and Tb complexes were investigated in order to prove the energy transfer between lanthanide ions within the heterometallic complex. This opens up the prospect of creating new materials for optical applications. The heterometallic compound Eu0.05Tb0.95(piv)3(en) was synthesized, and was found to demonstrate temperature-dependent luminescence with a linear dependence of the thermometric parameter I(Eu)/I(Tb) within the temperature range from −80 °C to 80 °C, and had a maximum relative sensitivity value of 0.2%/K.
