Abstract

Two neutral tripodal metalloligands (CoL and FeL where L=C18H21N10) containing a clathrochelate core were synthesized and characterized in one-step. Reactions of these ligands with three different metal acceptors cis-(tmen)Pd(NO3)(2) (tmen = tetramethylethylenediamine), Zn(NO3)(2) and Mn(ClO4)(2) separately yielded a series of heterometallic coordination cages (1a3a and 1b-3b) in high yields. Depending on the nature of coordination geometry of the acceptors, the resulting assemblies have trigonal- bipyramidal (1a/1b), open-cubic (2a/2b), and closed-cubic structures (3a/3b). The structures of the complexes 1a, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Analysis of crystal packing of the complexes 3a and 3b revealed the presence of several coordinated and lattice water molecules in the intermolecular channels. Both these complexes (3a and 3b) showed very high water adsorption under humid conditions. In addition, 3a and 3b exhibited promising proton conductivity of 3.31x10(-3) and 1.05x10(-4) S cm(-1) at 70 degrees C under 98 % relative humidity (RH) respectively, with activation energy of 1.000.78 eV.
