Multivalent N-donor ligands for the construction of coordination polymers and coordination polymer gels
This work describes the synthesis and characterisation of several multivalent N-donor ligands and their coordination compounds and the use of these ligands
in the construction of coordination polymers and coordination polymer gels.
The project can be divided into two parts. The first part of the research is
focused on the coordination chemistry of ring-substituted biimidazoles in acidic
media. The dependence of the formation of ion pairs and zwitterionic,
especially zinc and copper containing coordination compounds on the pH of
the reaction medium and ring-substituents of the ligand were examined. The
second part of the study deals with the preparation of Ag, Zn and Cu
coordination polymers (CPs) and coordination polymer gels (CPGs) from
geometrically flexible biimidazole- and bipyridine-based ligands. The effect of
metal centres and reaction conditions on structural topologies of CPs was
studied and presented in publication II. Since the CPGs were obtained by silver
coordination, a new photochemical process was developed to form silver
nanoparticles (AgNP) on the surface of the coordination polymeric fibers. The
method was disclosed in publications III and IV.
In order to explain and combine these different studies into one thesis, the
following procedure was followed: first, an introduction to the N-donor ligands,
especially biimidazole and bipyridines and their coordination chemistry in
acidic and basic media was presented. The later part was focused on general
synthetic routes for CPs and possibilities to control their structure with
literature examples. The chapter then gives an introduction to the gels, and
supramolecular metallogels with examples of recent publications and gel
characterisation methods. The introduction ends with the aim of the study.
The second part of the thesis outlines the most significant findings
reported in the four original publications. The discussion part begins with a
short chapter on the synthesis of a series of N-donor ligands, followed by their
coordination chemistry in an acidic medium. The follow-up chapter deals with
the construction of CPs and CPGs with semirigid ligands. The final chapter of
the discussion ends with the luminescence properties of these CPs and CPGs.
At the end of the thesis, these results are briefly summarised with significant
findings.
