Abstract: Herein, the synthesis and study of bifunctional coordination polymers (CPs) with both magnetic and photoluminescence properties, derived from a heterometallic environment, are reported. As a starting point, three isostructural monometallic CPs with the formula [M(μ-2ani)2 ]n (MII =Mn (1Mn ), Co (3Co ) and Ni (4Ni ); 2ani=2-aminonicotinate), crystallise as chiral 2D-layered structures stacked by means of supramolecular interactions. These compounds show high thermal stability in the solid state (above 350 °C), despite which, in aqueous solution, compound 1Mn is shown to partially transform into a novel 1D chain CP with the formula [Mn(2ani)2 (μ-H2 O)2 ]n (2Mn ). A study of the direct current (dc) magnetic properties of 1Mn , 3Co and 4Ni reveals a spin-canted structure derived from antisymmetric antiferromagnetic weak exchanges along the chiral network (as confirmed by DFT calculations) and magnetic anisotropy of the ions, in such a way that long-range ordering is observed with variable magnitude for the spin carriers. Moreover, compounds 3Co and 4Ni show no frequency-dependent alternating current (ac) susceptibility curves under zero dc field; this is characteristic behaviour of a glassy state that may be partially supressed for 3Co by applying an external dc field. To overcome long-range magnetic ordering, CoII ions are diluted in a diamagnetic ZnII -based matrix, which enables single-molecule magnet behaviour. Interestingly, this strategy allows a bifunctional Cox Zn1-x 2ani material, which is imbued with a strong photoluminescent emitting capacity, as characterised by an intense blue light followed by a green afterglow, to be obtained.

Abstract: Six novel coordination polymers (CPs) based on alkaline-earth (AE) metal ions and two sorts of aminonicotinate ligands, namely [M(μ-2ani)(μ3-2ani)(μ-DMF)]n [MII = Sr (1) and Ba (2)], {[M(μ-6ani)2(H2O)2]·3H2O}n [MII = Ca (3) and Sr (4)], {[Ca(μ-6ani)2(H2O)2]}n (5) and {[Ba(6ani)2(H2O)3]·7H2O}n (6) [where 2ani = 2-aminonicotinate and 6ani = 6-aminonicotinate] have been synthesized and well characterized. All compounds are firstly built up with AE-carboxylate infinite rods that provide compact 2D-layered structures in 1 and 2 but open architectures containing microchannels in an AE-6ani system. Interestingly, the architecture of 3 behaves as a flexible platform which undergoes spontaneous dehydration to yield compound 5. Structural transition occurring from 3 to 5 has been supported by periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations and X-ray diffraction data. In this regard, compound 6 contains a high amount of solvent molecules which suggests the existence of pores in its structure. A deep study of the optical properties including a detailed experimental characterization and DFT based computational calculations of these compounds supports a fascinating photoluminescence performance which entails a bright blue emission accompanied by persistent green afterglows at low temperature, especially for compound 5 as reflected by its lifetime (τ ≈ 1.4 s). In addition to its strong room temperature emission properties, we took advantage of the open yet stable structure of compound 4, to check its viability as a new material sensitive to the presence of solvents and/or transition metal ions, via significant quenching of the luminescence of 4. Remarkably, 4 is shown to be a particularly efficient sensor for some water soluble pollutants.

Abstract: The reaction of [RhCl(COD)]2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with racemic PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO) and pyridine (py) led to the oxidative addition of the aldehyde, and a single geometric isomer of [RhHCl(PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CO))(py)2] (1), with hydride trans to chloride, was obtained as a mixture of two diastereomers in a 95 : 5 ratio; this was in agreement with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In a chloroform solution, the exchange of hydride by chloride yielded [RhCl2(PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CO))(py)2] (2) as a mixture of a kinetically preferred species, trans-py-2a, and two diastereomers, cis-Cl-2b' and cis-Cl-2b, with cis pyridines and a chloride trans to acyl; as predicted by the DFT calculations, the latter was the major species. Complex 1 reacted with racemic PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO) or PPh2(o-C6H4CHO) to afford [RhHCl(PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CO))(κ1-PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO))(py)] (3) or [RhHCl(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))(κ1-PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO))(py)] (4), respectively, both with a dangling alkylaldehyde. Diastereomeric mixtures with the ratios 3a/3a' = 80 : 20 and 4a/4a' = 50 : 50 were obtained. Complex 4 reacted with N-donors to afford cationic [RhH(NN)(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))(κ1-PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO))]BPh4 (NN = 1,10-phenanthroline, 5; 2,2'-bipyridine, 6) or with 8-aminoquinoline (aqui) or 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine to yield imination products with terdentate ligands: [RhH(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))(κ3-PNN)]BF4 (PNN = PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CNC9H6N), 7 and PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CNCH2C5H4N), 8, respectively. Compounds 5-8 were obtained as equimolar a/a' mixtures of diastereomers. Moreover, 5a and 5a' could be separated. [RhCl(NBD)]2 reacted with racemic PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO) and N-donors to provide nortricyclyl (Ntyl) derivatives [RhCl(NN)(Ntyl)(PPh2CH(Ph)CH2CO)] (NN = phen, 9 and bipy, 10) as an a/a' = 75 : 25 mixture of diastereomers. By reacting [RhCl(NBD)]2 with PPh2(CH(Ph)CH2CHO) and quinoline-8-carbaldehyde in methanol, the phosphino-ester complex [RhCl(Ntyl)(C9H6NCO)(κ2-PPh2CH(Ph)CH2CO(OCH3)] 11 was obtained. The initial equimolar mixture of two diastereomers readily transformed into a single diastereomer, which was found to be thermodynamically most stable by the DFT calculations. Furthermore, single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of cis-Cl-2b, 5a, 7a, 10a and 11 is reported.

Abstract: Eleven new dinuclear and tetranuclear compounds of general formulae [Zn(μ-L)(μ-X)Ln(NO3)2]·nS, [Zn2Dy2(μ3-L′)2(μ-sal)2(NO3)(CH3OH)](NO3)·5CH3OH and [Zn2Er2(μ3-L′)2(μ-sal)2(CH3OH)2](NO3)2·4CH3OH (X = benzoate, anthracenate, diclofenac, salicylate, 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate; Ln = Dy, Er; S = water, acetonitrile, methanol) were prepared from the N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-3-formyl-5-bromobenzyl)ethylenediamine compartmental ligand (H2L). Complexes 1–6 and 9–11 consist of diphenoxido-carboxylate triply bridged compounds, which differ mainly in the carboxylate bridging ligand. It should be noted that the acidic character of the salicylic acid promotes, in the presence of methanol, the methoxylation of the H2L ligand thereby yielding a hemiacetal H3L′, which is able to connect the Ln(III) ions of two ZnLn dinuclear units forming the Zn2Ln2 tetranuclear complexes 7 and 8. All compounds display SMM behaviour in the presence of an external field with effective energy barriers (Ueff) as high as 61 K. Magneto-structural data for these complexes reveal that their SMM behaviour is not only significantly affected by the type of Ln(III) ion but also by the carboxylate bridging ligand connecting the Zn(II) and Ln(III) ions. Photoluminescence properties have also been accomplished, showing that the ligands are able to sensitize lanthanide centred emissions in the visible and near-infrared regions with variable capacity. Moreover, the analysis of the luminescence decay curves reveals emission lifetimes in the range of few microsecond or hundreds of nanoseconds for Dy(III)-based or Er(III)-based luminophores, respectively.

Abstract: A novel coordination compound based on Zn(II) and bumetanide (Hbum) of general formulae [Zn(bum)(HO)]·2HO has been synthesized and fully characterized by elemental analyses and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that compound 1 possesses a monomeric structure in which the main intermolecular interactions stabilizing the structure are hydrogen bonds. Due to the fully filled d orbitals of Zn(II), this coordination compound could be an ideal candidate to show strong emission. That is the reason why, photoluminescence properties have been studied showing that this compound presents ligand derived emission ruled by ligand-centred π-π* electronic transitions. Additionally, because of the well-recognised therapeutic properties of bumetanide, antiparasitic efficacy against three leishmania spp. strains has been studied for the corresponding ligand and coordination compound., This work has been funded by Junta de Andalucía (FQM-394), the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE) (PGC2018-102052-A-C22, PGC2018-102052-B-C21 and PGC2018-102047-B-I00), Red Guipuzcoana de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (OF188/2017), University of the Basque Country (GIU 17/13).

Abstract: We report the formation of a novel multifunctional metal–organic framework (MOF) based on dysprosium(III) ions using pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetrasulfonate (pytet)4− as a ligand, synthesized using a soft hydrothermal route. This material shows a two-dimensional network with small channels along a crystallographic axis and displays intense photoluminescence properties in the solid state at room temperature due to the pyrene derivative ligand. The magnetic properties of this 2D-MOF are also accomplished, confirming slightly frequency-dependent out of phase signals under an applied field of 1000 Oe.

Abstract: We report the synthesis of a new family of four new isoreticular metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) based on Cu–Cu paddle-wheel building units. The four MOFs contain 1D microchannels modulated by chemical functionalisation of a dicarboxylate ligand or the use of different bis-4,4′-pyridyl-like connectors behaving as ancillary linkers. A deep analysis of their CO2, H2 and CH4 adsorption properties, combining both experimental and grand canonical Monte Carlo isotherms as well as in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction, shows variable adsorption behaviour towards the studied gases, with some materials acting as molecular sieves with virtually infinite selectivity.

Abstract: Herein, we report the detailed structural characterization and photoluminescence (PL) properties of two new isostructural coordination polymers (CPs) based on 2-aminonicotinate (2ani) ligand and zinc(II) or cadmium(II) metal ions, namely, [M(μ-2ani)2]n [MII = Zn(1) and Cd(2)]. These compounds are characterized as chiral 2D-layered structures, resulting from the bridging of the 2ani ligands in the MN2O4 coordination shell. Also, strong supramolecular interactions are found to sustain the overall crystal structure, which endows these materials with high stability. The single crystals of 1 exhibit waveguiding behaviour along some preferred orientations. The examination of the polycrystalline samples of both compounds under UV light also shows that the samples exhibit remarkably strong PL emissions, which consist of blue fluorescence and green phosphorescence involving long-lasting phosphorescence (LLP) at low temperature. Fitting of the decay curves confirms the occurrence of short (in the order of nanoseconds) and very large lifetimes (τ ≈ 320 and 560 ms for 1 and 2, respectively) of the wavelengths responsible for their blue and green emissions, respectively, which have been studied using DFT calculations.

Abstract: Isostructural dinuclear dysprosium and yttrium coordination compounds based on the 5-nitropicolinic carboxylate ligand were synthesized and characterized. The formation of these air-stable complexes is achieved via solvothermal routes employing water as the reaction solvent. The dysprosium-based complex exhibits single-molecule magnet behavior with frequency dependence of the out-of-phase susceptibility at zero direct-current field. High-resolution mass spectrometry (electrospray ionization) experiments and advanced NMR methods including diffusion NMR techniques were applied on the diamagnetic yttrium analogue and established that these species retained their solid-state structure in solution with hydrodynamic radii of 6.5 A. Full 1H, 13C, 15N, 89Y, Δ1Hcoord, Δ13Ccoord, and Δ15Ncoord NMR data are given, and through the analysis of the Ramsey equation, the first electronic insights of these derivatives are provided.

The occurrence of large accessible volumes and structural and topological diversity are a constant for crystal structures of these compounds, which is a result of the connectivity established among the metal-carboxylato building units formed in each case.

Abstract: We have designed and synthesized two novel cobalt coordination compounds using bumetanide (bum) and indomethacin (ind) therapeutic agents. The anti-inflammatory effects of cobalt metal complexes with ind and bum were assayed in lipopolysaccharide stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages by inhibition of nitric oxide production. Firstly, we determined the cytotoxicity and the anti-inflammatory potential of the cobalt compounds and ind and bum ligands in RAW 264.7 cells. Indomethacin-based metal complex was able to inhibit the NO production up to 35% in a concentration-dependent manner without showing cytotoxicity, showing around 6–37 times more effective than indomethacin. Cell cycle analysis showed that the inhibition of NO production was accompanied by a reversion of the differentiation processes in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, due to a decreased of cell percentage in G0/G1 phase, with the corresponding increase in the number of cells in S phase. These two materials have mononuclear structures and show slow relaxation of magnetization. Moreover, both compounds show anti-diabetic activity with low in vitro cell toxicities. The formation of metal complexes with bioactive ligands is a new and promising strategy to find new compounds with high and enhanced biochemical properties and promises to be a field of great interest., This work has been funded by Junta de Andalucía (FQM-394 and FQM-1484), the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE) (PGC2018-102052-A-C22, PGC2018-102052-B-C21, and PGC2018-102047-B-I00) and Red Guipuzcoana de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (OF188/2017), University of the Basque Country (GIU 17/13).

Abstract: The discovery of the first Single-Molecule Magnet, Mn12-ac, in 1993 changed the perspective of how information can be stored. The current bit, occupying few hundreds of nanometers in present devices, would be minimized to tens of angstroms at molecular level. However, until a couple of years these materials could only operate at temperatures near to the absolute zero. From 1993 to date, the field of Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) has continuously evolved thanks to the close collaboration of chemists and physicists obtaining materials already operating above the liquid nitrogen temperature. This long journey, however, has involved the study of many different routes towards high performance SMMs, being each of them essential in order to deeply understand the quantum dynamics behind these molecules. An era of high spin 3d metal clusters was the beginning of everything, but it went through highly anisotropic low coordinate 3d compounds, lanthanide based magnets, radical bridged compounds and 3d-4f mixed systems, among others, to end up in the current state of the art dysprosium metallocenes. Furthermore, after the magnetic studies in bulk, SMM based hybrid systems are emerging for future application devices, which also involve very interesting multifunctionalities. All in all, this work aims to explain how these materials work and show the trajectory and some of the major advances that have been made during recent years in this field.

Abstract: A new cadmium/6-aminonicotinate-based coordination polymer (CP) with an unprecedented multicolored and long-lasting emission is reported. This material shows a blue fluorescence which rapidly turns to green persistent phosphorescence with a lifetime of nearly 1 s. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations revealed that electronic transitions arising from both first excited singlet and triplet states involving ligand-centered and ligand-to-metal charge-transfer mechanisms are responsible for such behavior.

Abstract: Twelve novel dinuclear ZnII–LnIII complexes of general formula [Zn(μ-L)(μ-OAc)Ln(NO3)2] (LnIII = Y (1), Pr (2), Nd (3), Sm (4), Eu (5), Gd (6), Tb (7), Dy (8), Ho (9), Er (10), Tm (11), Yb (12)) have been prepared from the symmetric compartmental Mannich base ligand N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzyl)-ethylenediamine (H2L). Structural determinations indicate that in all these complexes, ZnII ions are pentacoordinated in the inner position of the ligand, linked to two nitrogen and two oxygen atoms from L2− and a bridging syn–syn acetate group. The LnIII ions are nonacoordinated in the outer position, linked to four oxygen atoms from L2−, two bidentate nitrate anions and the bridging acetate. Complexes 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 exhibit field induced slow relaxation of the magnetization. It should be remarked that this behaviour is very infrequent in GdIII and NdIII coordination compounds. For compounds 8 and 12, it was possible to extract the effective energy barrier (Ueff) for the reversal of the magnetization, with a value of 27.5 K (52.6 K considering the Raman relaxation process in addition to the Orbach mode) and 13.2 K for DyIII and YbIII compounds, respectively. Moreover, the photophysical properties of these complexes have been studied at different temperatures and show that L2− is able to sensitize luminescence emission of many lanthanide ions. SmIII, EuIII, TbIII, DyIII and TmIII-based compounds show fluorescence in the visible region, whereas the YbIII-based one is sensitized in the near-infrared (NIR) region. Therefore, complexes 7, 8 and 12 may be considered as dual magneto-luminescent materials.

Abstract: We report herein the synthesis and structural and chemical characterization of six new compounds consisting of 6-aminonicotinate (6ani) ligands and first-row transition metal ions, namely, [Mn2(μ-6ani)2(H2O)8](6ani)2 (1), [Co(6ani)(bipy)2(H2O)3](6ani)·5H2O (2), [M(μ-6ani)(6ani)(H2O)3]·2H2O [MII = Co (3), Ni (4)], and [M(μ-6ani)2]·H2O [MII = Co (5), Cu (6)] (where bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine). Compounds 1 and 2 consist of isolated dimeric and monomeric entities held together by supramolecular interactions governed by 6ani free anions. The rigid and low symmetry of 6ani ligands, in addition to their coordination as terminal and bridging ligands to octahedral metal geometries, gives rise to chiral 1D chains of compounds 3 and 4. 2D sql layers are formed (5 and 6) when 6ani ligands act as ligands bridging the metal ions, which precludes the presence of water molecules in the framework. Despite the wide structural diversity observed, all architectures share the occurrence of magnetically isolated 3d metal ions, given the poor exchange achieved through 6ani bridges, as confirmed by dc susceptibility measurements and DFT calculations. Dynamic ac susceptibility measurements reveal best-in-class field-induced slow magnetic relaxation behaviour in Co-based compounds with easy-plane magnetic anisotropy. The effective energy barriers (Ueff) of 39.6 K and 18.7 K for 3 and 5, respectively, estimated using the Arrhenius law are remarkably high among CoII-SIM coordination polymers reported so far.

Abstract: A series of trimetallic Zn–Dy–Zn complexes of the general formula [ZnX(μ-L)Dy(μ-L)XZn]Y·nS, where H2L is the compartmental ligand N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-3-formyl-5-bromobenzyl)ethylenediamine, X is the coligand (X = Cl, Br, I and N3), Y is the counteranion and S are the crystallization solvent molecules have been synthesized and magnetically characterized. In all these complexes, the Dy(III) ions exhibit DyO8 coordination environments with a slightly distorted square-antiprism D4d symmetry. Due to the disposition of the oxygen atoms around the Dy(III) ions, large easy-axis anisotropy is expected, which is responsible for the high thermal energy barriers for the reversal of the magnetization observed at zero field (in the 144–170 K range for all complexes). A preliminary correlation between the disposition of the oxygen atoms of the ligand (phenoxo and aldehyde) in the DyO8 coordination sphere and the value of Ueff has been established.

Abstract: A family of ten novel isostructural LnIII complexes based on the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac, with the general formula [Ln2(dicl)6(MeOH)2(H2O)2] [LnIII = Pr (1), Nd (2), Sm(3), Eu (4), Tb (5), Dy (6), Ho (7), Er (8), Tm (9), Yb (10)], has been prepared. These complexes consist of centrosymmetric dimers in which each metallic centre is coordinated to three diclofenac ligands as well as water and methanol molecules. Alternating current magnetic measurements of complex 6 show a slight SMM behaviour. The evaluation of solid-state photophysical properties reveals that the diclofenac ligand is able to sensitize the luminescence emission of compounds 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 both in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) regions at 10 K. Measurements of the decay curves show persistent fluorescence, with lifetimes of nearly 1.5 ms, and temperature stable lifetimes in the case of complex 5. Moreover, the NIR emission of compound 2 may open the way to applications in the field of fluoroimmunoassays and in vivo detection, given the bioactive nature of the diclofenac molecule.

Abstract: Some series of isostructural chains with general formula [M(diclof)(HO)]·(EtOH) have been obtained from reaction between diclofenac ligand (diclof) and first row transition salts (M = Mn (1),Ni (2) and Co (3)). These monodimensional coordination polymers have been characterized and their crystal structures have been solved by X-ray diffraction methods, elucidating isostructural compounds that are chains with water molecules acting as bridge between different metallic centers, while diclofenac ligands are coordinated to the octahedral coordination environment of the same. Magnetic studies of these complexes have revealed the existence of moderate ferromagnetic interactions among manganese, nickel and cobalt ions, with J values of 0.1, 0.60 and 3.3 cm, respectively. It must be highlighted that in vitro leishmanicidal activity of these new complexes has been studied against three different strains of Leishmania spp. showing a higher efficacy than the reference drug Glucantime® and demonstrating the potential of these novel materials based on coordination chemistry., Financial support was provided by Junta de Andalucía , Spain (project number FQM-394 and FQM-1484 ), University of the Basque Country , Spain ( GIU 17/13 ) and the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness , Spain ( MCIU/AEI/FEDER , UE) (PGC2018-102052-A-C22 and PGC2018-102052-B-C21).

Abstract: We have designed and synthesized eight isostructural 1D coordination polymers (CPs) with the general formula {[Ln(aapc)3(DMF)]}n [where Ln(iii) = Y (2), La (3), Nd (4), Eu (5), Gd (6), Tb (7), Dy (8), Er (9); and aapc = 3-((anthraquinone-1-yl)amino)propanoate]. These CPs consist of Ln-carboxylate infinite rods in which the bulky anthraquinone scaffolds arise from it in such a way that the resulting supramolecular packing exhibits isolated 1D chains. Solution structures have been corroborated through NMR methods including PGSE and EXSY NMR studies and, due to the presence of lanthanide ions, magnetic and luminescence properties have been studied. Alternating current magnetic measurements of compound 8 show slow relaxation of the magnetization, a characteristic of single molecule magnets (SMMs). The evaluation of solid-state photophysical properties reveals that the aapc scaffold sensitizes lanthanide(iii) based emission of compounds 4-9 both in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) regions at 10 K.

Abstract: 2-Aminoalkylpyridines [H2N(CH2)nC5H4N] (n = 1 or 2) react with [IrHCl{(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))2H}] (1a) in THF to afford hydridoirida-β-ketoimines [IrHCl{(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))(PPh2(o-C6H4CN(CH2)nC5H4N))H}] (2, n = 1; 3, n = 2) with intramolecular N-H···O hydrogen bonding and a dangling pyridine. In protic media 2–3 transform into [IrH(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))(PPh2(o-C6H4C=N(CH2)nC5H4N))] (4, n = 1; 5, n = 2) containing new terdentate PCN ligands in a facial disposition with the phosphorus atom trans to H and an iminoacyl fragment trans to the other phosphorus atom. The formation of 4–5 requires breaking of the hydrogen bond, isomerization, and dehydrochlorination of an intermediate iminium-acyl species to allow the coordination of the nitrogen atom of pyridine to iridium. The reaction of 1a with the N-substituted N-methylaminomethylpyridine allows the synthesis of [IrH(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))(PPh2(o-C6H4C=N(CH3)CH2C5H4N))]ClO4 (6) containing a PCN ligand with an iminium-acyl moiety trans to phosphorus. The reaction of [IrH2{(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))2H}] (1b) with 2-(aminoalkyl)pyridines [H2N(CH2)nC5H4N] (n = 1 or 2) in MeOH requires the presence of KOH to afford the hydrido derivatives [IrH(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))2(NH2(CH2)nC5H4N,κNH2)] (7, n = 1; 8, n = 2) were the ligands are amino-coordinated with a dangling pyridine. The reaction occurs with hydrogen evolution and transfer of hydrogen from a hydroxyl in the solvent to iridium. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was performed on 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Abstract: We have synthesized a novel zinc metal–organic framework (MOF) under mild hydrothermal routes using 5-aminotetrazole and methyl-2-amino-4-isonicotinate anionic ligands. The MOF exhibits a three-dimensional structure with intense blue-greenish photoluminescence emission at room temperature in the solid state. The luminescence, porosity, and adsorption capacity for CO2 and H2 of the Zn-based MOF have been fully determined using a combination of computational methods and experimental techniques. The synthesized Zn-based compound in this study exhibited a remarkable in vivo anti-diabetic activity and low in vitro cell toxicity.

Abstract: Four new compounds based on zinc(II) or cadmium(II) metal ions and elongated dicarboxylate and bipyridine ligands, namely, {[Cd3(μ4-bpdc)3(H2O)2]·DMF}n (1), {[Zn3(μ4-bpdc)3(μ-bpdb)]·5DMF}n (2), {[Zn2(μ4-bpdc)2(μ-bpdb)]·7DMF}n (3), and {[Zn4(μ4-bpdc)3(DMF)(μ4-O)(H2O)]·7DMF·3H2O}n (4), (where bpdc = biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate, bpdb = 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene, DMF = dimethylformamide) have been synthesised under solvothermal conditions and structurally characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures range from 2D (in 1) to 3D (2, 3, and 4) systems according to the coordination mode acquired by the bpdc ligand and the presence of an ancillary linker. Compound 1 consists of stacked Cd-bpdc neutral layers containing isolated small voids. The coordination of the bpdb ligand (2 and 3) or the formation of a tetrahedral Zn4O cluster (in 4) generates highly open 3D architectures that share the structural feature of being doubly interpenetrated. A careful computational analysis on the crystal structures permits unravelling their void systems. Moreover, characterising the photoluminescence emission of the compounds at variable excitation wavelengths provides an opportunity to couple the luminescence response with their porosity, which could signify the potential utility of these materials as photofluorescent sensors for small adsorbates.

Abstract: [RhCl(NCO)(nbyl)(PR3)] (nbyl = σ-norbornenyl; NCO = quinoline-8-acyl; R = p-F-C6H4) (1) has been synthesized by the reaction of [Rh(nbd)Cl]2 (nbd = norbornadiene) with 2 equivalents of NCHO (quinoline-8-carbaldehyde) and 2 equivalents of PR3. Compound 1 has been fully characterized in solution and also in the solid state by X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 shows low stability in solution and undergoes slow ring closure isomerization to [RhCl(NCO)(ntyl)(PR3)] (ntyl = σ-nortricyclyl) (2) after 12 hours. Reaction of 1 with an extra equivalent of aldehyde (NCHO) and PR3 led to the formation of [RhCl(H)(NCO)(PR3)2] (3) and an equivalent of ketone, which is a hydroacylation product. The catalytic activity of 3 in the hydroacylation of nbd with NCHO is reported as well as the catalytic activity of compound 1. Compounds 1 and 3 are proposed as intermediate species in the catalytic hydroacylation of norbornadiene with NCHO.

Abstract: A novel metal–organic chain constructed of dysprosium and sodium ions based on 5-aminopyridine-2-carboxylic acid has been synthesized and characterized. The formation of this 1D-MOF is achieved using a soft solvothermal route with dimethylformamide as solvent. This material displays intense photoluminescence properties in the solid state at room temperature and exhibits SIM behavior with frequency dependence of the out-of-phase susceptibility at zero dc field. More interesting, we report here the magnetic field dependent cytotoxicity and multidrug-resistant properties of this 1D-MOF. This multidisciplinary preliminary study of the applications of this metal complex opens up the possibility of further investigations in the fields of metal-based drugs, luminescence and magnetism.

Abstract: The cross-section for inclusive phi meson production in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV has been measured with the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The differential cross-section is measured as a function of the phi transverse momentum p_T and rapidity y in the region 0.6 < p_T < 5.0 GeV/c and 2.44 < y < 4.06. The cross-section for inclusive phi production in this kinematic range is sigma(pp -> phi X) = 1758 pm 19(stat) ^{+43}_{-14}(syst) pm 182(scale) microbarn, where the first systematic uncertainty depends on the p_T and y region and the second is related to the overall scale. Predictions based on the Pythia 6.4 generator underestimate the cross-section., 10 pages, 2 figures

Abstract: Detailed structural, magnetic, and photoluminescence (PL) characterization of four new compounds based on 1-methylimidazole-5-carboxylate (mimc) ligand and transition metal ions, namely [Ni(mimc)2(H2O)4] (1), [Co(μ-mimc)2]n (2), {[Cu2(μ-mimc)4(H2O)]·2H2O}n (3), and [Cd(μ-mimc)2(H2O)]n (4) is reported. The structural diversity found in the family of compounds derives from the coordination versatility of the ligand, which coordinates as a terminal ligand to give a supramolecular network of monomeric entities in 1 or acts as a bridging linker to build isoreticular 2D coordination polymers (CPs) in 2–4. Magnetic direct-current (dc) susceptibility data have been measured for compounds 1–3 to analyze the exchange interactions among paramagnetic centers, which have been indeed supported by calculations based on broken symmetry (BS) and density functional theory (DFT) methodology. The temperature dependence of susceptibility and magnetization data of 2 are indicative of easy-plane anisotropy (D = +12.9 cm–1, E = ...

Abstract: Measurements of the effective lifetimes in the B-s(0) -> K+K-, B-0 -> K+pi(-) and B-s(0) -> pi K-+(-) decays are presented using 1.0 fb(-1)of pp collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV by the LHCb experiment. The analysis uses a data-driven approach to correct for the decay time acceptance. The measured effective lifetimes are tau(Bs0 -> K+K-) = 1.407 +/- 0.016 (stat) +/- 0.007 (syst) ps, tau(Bs0 -> K+pi-) = 1.524 +/- 0.011 (stat) +/- 0.004 (syst) ps, tau(Bs0 ->pi+K-) = 1.60 +/- 0.06 (stat) +/- 0.01 (syst) ps. This is the most precise determination to date of the effective lifetime in the B-s(0) -> K+K- decay and provides constraints on contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model to the B-s(0) mixing phase and the width difference Delta Gamma(s).

Abstract: Using a data sample of pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb(-1), the Xi(-)(b) and Omega(-)(b) baryons are reconstructed in the Xi(-)(b) -> J/psi Xi(-) and Omega(-)(b) -> J/psi Omega(-) decay modes and their lifetimes measured to be tau(Xi(-)(b)) = 1.55(-0.09)(+0.10) (stat) +/- 0.03 (syst) ps, tau(Omega(-)(b)) = 1.54(-0.21)(+0.26) (stat) +/- 0.05 (syst) ps. These are the most precise determinations to date. Both measurements are in good agreement with previous experimental results and with theoretical predictions. (C) 2014 The Authors.

Abstract: Evidence for the decay mode X(3872) -> psi(2S)gamma in B+ -> X(3872)K+ decays is found with a significance of 4.4 standard deviations. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb(-1), collected with the LHCb detector, at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The ratio of the branching fraction of the X(3872) -> psi(2S)gamma decay to that of the X(3872) -> J/psi gamma decay is measured to be B(X(3872) -> psi(2S)gamma)/B(X(3872) -> J/psi gamma) = 2.46 +/- 0.64 +/- 0.29, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The measured value does not support a pure D (D) over bar* molecular interpretation of the X(3872) state. (C) 2014 CERN for the benefit of the LHCb Collaboration. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: The mixing-induced CP-violating phase phi(s) in B-s(0) and (B) over bar (0)(s) decays is measured using the J / psi pi(+)pi(-) final state in data, taken from 3 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity, collected with the LHCb detector in 7 and 8 TeV centre-of-mass pp collisions at the LHC. A time-dependent flavour-tagged amplitude analysis, allowing for direct CP violation, yields a value for the phase phi(s) = 70 +/- 68 +/- 8 mrad. This result is consistent with the Standard Model expectation and previous measurements. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: The LHCb measurement of the lifetime ratio of the Lambda(0)(b) baryon to the (B) over bar (0) meson is updated using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb(-1) collected using 7 and 8 TeV centre-of-mass energy pp collisions at the LHC. The decay modes used are Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi pK(-) and (B) over bar (0) -> J/psi pi K-+(-), where the pi K-+(-) mass is consistent with that of the (K) over bar*(0)(892) meson. The lifetime ratio is determined with unprecedented precision to be 0.974 +/- 0.006 +/- 0.004, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This result is in agreement with original theoretical predictions based on the heavy quark expansion. Using the current world average of the (B) over bar (0) lifetime, the Lambda(0)(b) lifetime is found to be 1.479 +/- 0.009 +/- 0.010 ps. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: A first study of CP violation in the decay modes B-+/- -> [(KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+)](D)h(+/-) and B-+/- -> [(KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+)](D)h(+/-), where h labels a K or pi meson and D labels a D-0 or (D) over bar (0) meson, is performed. The analysis uses the LHCb data set collected in pp collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb(-1). The analysis is sensitive to the CP-violating CKM phase gamma through seven observables: one charge asymmetry in each of the four modes and three ratios of the charge-integrated yields. The results are consistent with measurements of gamma using other decay modes. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: none 636 A search for the rare decay D0 → μ+ μ− is performed using a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.9 fb^−1, of pp collisions collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV by the LHCb experiment. The observed number of events is consistent with the background expectations and corresponds to an upper limit of B(D0 → μ+ μ−) < 6.2(7.6) x 10^−9 at 90% (95%) confidence level. This result represents an improvement of more than a factor twenty with respect to previous measurements. PACS: 14.40.Lb, 13.20.Fc, 12.15.Mm, 12.60.-i. R. Aaij; C. Abellan Beteta; B. Adeva; M.

Abstract: The CP-violating charge asymmetry in B-+/- -> phi K-+/- decays is measured in a sample of pp collisions at 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1 collected by the LHCb experiment. The result is A(CP)(B-+/- -> phi K-+/-) = 0.022 +/- 0.021 +/- 0.009, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. In addition, a search for the B-+/- -> phi pi(+/-) decay mode is performed, using the B-+/- -> phi K-+/- decay rate for normalization. An upper limit on the branching fraction B(B-+/- -> phi pi(+/-)) < 1.5 x 10(-7) is set at 90% confidence level. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: First observation of the decay Bos → D-oφ is reported using pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1, collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The significance of the signal is 6.5 standard deviations. The branching fraction is measured relative to that of the decay Bos → D-oK-*o to be B(B0s →D0φ) B(B0s →D0K∗0) = 0.069±0.013 (stat)±0.007 (syst). The first measurement of the ratio of branching fractions for the decays B0s → D0K∗0 and B0 → D0K∗0 is found to be B(B0s →D0K∗0) B(B0→D0K∗0) = 7.8±0.7 (stat)± 0.3 (syst)± 0.6 ( fs/ fd), where the last uncertainty is due to the ratio of the B0s and B0 fragmentation fractions.

Abstract: A search for CP violation in the phase-space structures of 130 and 15 decays to the final states K-K+pi(-)pi(+) and pi(-)pi(+)pi(+)pi(-) is presented. The search is carried out with a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1) collected in 2011 by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. For the K-K+pi(-)pi(+) final state, the four-body phase space is divided into 32 bins, each bin with approximately 1800 decays. The p-value under the hypothesis of no CP violation is 9.1%, and in no bin is a CP asymmetry greater than 6.5% observed. The phase space of the pi(-)pi(+)pi(+)pi(-). final state is partitioned into 128 bins, each bin with approximately 2500 decays. The p-value under the hypothesis of no CP violation is 41%, and in no bin is a CP asymmetry greater than 5.5% observed. All results are consistent with the hypothesis of no CP violation at the current sensitivity. (C) 2013 CERN. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: An analysis of B+ → K0 Sπ+ and B+ → K0 S K+ decays is performed with the LHCb experiment. The pp collision data used correspond to integrated luminosities of 1 fb−1 and 2 fb−1 collected at centre-ofmass energies of √ s = 7 TeV and √ s = 8 TeV, respectively. The ratio of branching fractions and the direct CP asymmetries are measured to be B(B+ → K0 S K+ )/B(B+ → K0 Sπ+ ) = 0.064 ± 0.009 (stat.) ± 0.004 (syst.), ACP(B+ → K0 Sπ+ ) = −0.022 ± 0.025 (stat.) ± 0.010 (syst.) and ACP(B+ → K0 S K+ ) = −0.21 ± 0.14 (stat.) ± 0.01 (syst.). The data sample taken at √ s = 7 TeV is used to search for B+ c → K0 S K+ decays and results in the upper limit ( fc · B(B+ c → K0 S K+ ))/( fu · B(B+ → K0 Sπ+ )) < 5.8 × 10−2 at 90% confidence level, where fc and fu denote the hadronisation fractions of a ¯b quark into a B+ c or a B+ meson, respectively.

Abstract: A combination of three LHCb measurements of the CKM angle gamma is presented. The decays B-+/- -> DK +/- and B-+/- -> D pi(+/-) are used, where D denotes an admixture of D-0 and (D) over bar (0) mesons, decaying into K+K-, pi(+)pi(-), K-+/-pi(-/+), K-+/-pi(-/+)pi(+/-)pi(-/+), or K-S(0)pi(+)pi(-) final states. All measurements use a dataset corresponding to 1.0 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. Combining results from B-+/- -> DK +/- Dill decays alone a best-fit value of gamma = 72.0 degrees is found, and confidence intervals are set gamma is an element of [56.4, 86.7]degrees at 68% CL, gamma is an element of [42.6, 99.6]degrees at 95% CL. The best-fit value of gamma found from a combination of results from B-+/- -> D pi(+/-) decays alone, is gamma = 18.9 degrees, and the confidence intervals gamma is an element of [7.4, 99.2]degrees boolean OR [167.9, 176.4]degrees at 68% CL are set, without constraint at 95% CL The combination of results from B1 DKI and B -> DTC decays gives a best-fit value of y = 72.6 degrees and the confidence intervals gamma is an element of [55.4, 82.3]degrees at 68% CL, gamma is an element of [40.2, 92.7]degrees at 95% CL are set. All values are expressed modulo 180 degrees, and are obtained taking into account the effect of D-0-(D) over bar (0) mixing. (C) 2013 CERN. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: The first observation of the decay B-s(0) -> chi(c1)phi and a study of B-0 -> chi K-c1,K-2*(0) decays are presented. The analysis is performed using a dataset, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1), collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The following ratios of branching fractions are measured: B(B-s(0) -> chi(c1)phi)/B(B-s(0) -> J/psi phi) = (18.9 +/- 1.8 (stat) +/- 1.3 (syst) +/- 0.8(B)) x 10(-2), B(B-0 -> chi K-c1*(0))//B(B-0 -> J/psi K*(0)) = (19.8 +/- 1.1 (stat) +/- 1.2 (syst) +/- 0.9(B)) x 10(-2), B(B-0 -> chi K-c2*(0))//B(B-0 -> chi K-c1*(0)) = (17.1 +/- 5.0 (stat) +/- 1.7 (syst) +/- 1.1(B)) x 10(-2), where the third uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the branching fractions of chi(c) -> J/psi gamma modes.

Abstract: The differential branching fraction of the decay Λ0b→Λμ+μ− is measured as a function of the square of the dimuon invariant mass, q2. A yield of 78 ± 12 Λ0b →Λμ+μ− decays is observed using data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1, collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. A signiﬁcant signal is found in the q2 region above the square of the J/ψ mass, while at lower-q2 values upper limits are set on the differential branching fraction. Integrating the differential branching fraction over q2, while excluding the J/ψ and ψ(2S) regions, gives a branching fraction of B(Λ0b→Λμ+μ−)=(0.96±0.16(stat)±0.13(syst)±0.21(norm))×10−6, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic and due to the normalisation mode, Λ0b → J/ψΛ, respectively.

Abstract: A search for non-resonant D-(s)(+) -> pi(+)mu(+)mu(-) and D-(s)(+) -> pi(-)mu(+)mu(+) decays is performed using protonproton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1), at root s = 7 TeV recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2011. No signals are observed and the 90% (95%) confidence level (CL) limits on the branching fractions are found to be B(D+ -> pi(+)mu(+)mu(-)) pi(+)mu(+)mu(-)) pi(+)mu(+)mu(-)) pi(+)mu(+)mu(-)) < 1.2 (1.4) x 10(-7). These limits are the most stringent to date. (C) 2013 CERN. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: An angular analysis of Λ0b→J/ψΛ decays is performed using a data sample corresponding to 1.0 fb−1 collected in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV with the LHCb detector at the LHC. A parity violating asymmetry parameter characterising the Λ0b→J/ψΛ decay of 0.05±0.17±0.07 and a Λ0b transverse production polarisation of 0.06±0.07±0.02 are measured, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.

Abstract: An analysis of and B-+/- -> DK +/- and B-+/- -> D pi(+/-) decays is presented where the D meson is reconstructed in the four-body final state K-+/-pi(-/+)pi(+)pi(-). Using LHCb data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1), first observations are made of the suppressed ADS modes B-+/- ->[pi K-+/-(-/+)pi(+)pi(-)](D)K-+/- and B +/- -> [pi K-+/-(-/+)pi(+)pi(-)](D)pi(+/-) with a significance of 5.1 sigma and greater than 10 sigma, respectively. Measurements of CP asymmetries and CP-conserving ratios of partial widths from this family of decays are also performed. The magnitude of the ratio between the suppressed and favoured B-+/- -> DK +/- amplitudes is determined to be r(B)(K) = 0.097 +/- 0.011. (c) 2013 CERN. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: A search for direct CP violation in D0 -> h- h+ (where h=K or pi) is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^-1 collected in 2011 by LHCb in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The analysis uses D0 mesons produced in inclusive semileptonic b-hadron decays to the D0 mu X final state, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to tag the flavour of the D0 meson. The difference in the CP-violating asymmetries between the two decay channels is measured to be Delta A_CP = A_CP(K-K+) - A_CP(pi-pi+) = (0.49 +- 0.30 (stat) +- 0.14 (syst)) % . This result does not confirm the evidence for direct CP violation in the charm sector reported in other analyses.

Abstract: First observations of the $B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S) \eta$, $B^0 \rightarrow \psi(2S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays are made using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0~$fb^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV. The ratios of the branching fractions of each of the $\psi(2S)$ modes with respect to the corresponding $J/\psi$ decays are \[ \frac{\mathcal{B}(B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S) \eta) }{\mathcal{B}(B^0_s \rightarrow J/\psi \eta)} =0.83\pm0.14\,(stat)\pm0.12\,(syst)\pm0.02\,(\mathcalB}), \] \[ \frac{\mathcal{B}(B^0 \rightarrow \psi(2S) \pi^+ \pi^-)}{\mathcal{B}(B^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-)} =0.56\pm0.07\,(stat)\pm0.05\,(syst)\pm0.01\,(\mathcal{B}), \] \[ \frac{\mathcal{B}(B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S) \pi^+ \pi^-)}{\mathcal{B}(B^0_s \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-)} =0.34\pm0.04\,(stat)\pm0.03\,(syst)\pm0.01\,(\mathcal{B}), \] where the third uncertainty corresponds to the uncertainties of the dilepton branching fractions of the $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ meson decays.

Abstract: This Letter reports a measurement of the CP violation observables SJ/ψK0S and CJ/ψK0S in the decay channel B0→J/ψK0S performed with 1.0 fb−1 of pp collisions at s√=7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment. The fit to the data yields SJ/ψK0S=0.73±0.07(stat)±0.04(syst) and CJ/ψK0S=0.03±0.09(stat)±0.01(syst). Both values are consistent with the current world averages and within expectations from the Standard Model.
