Abstract

The self-assembly of CuX2 (X = Cl, Br, NO3, ClO4, and BF4) with a new diallylbis(pyridin-3-yl)silane ligand (L) gives rise to the similar 2D coordination networks with composition of Cu(II) and L of 1: 2 irrespective of anions and solvents. The 2D networks of [CuCl2L2]·2H2O, [CuBr2L2]·2H2O, and [Cu(H2O)2L2]·(NO3)2 are packed in a staggered mode while the similar networks of [Cu(BF4)2L2] and [Cu(ClO4)2L2] are arrayed in a eclipsed fashion. These crystals of all 2D networks have been employed as catalysts for 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (3,5-DBCat) oxidation, showing the catalytic effects in the order of [CuCl2L2]·2H2O > [CuBr2L2]·2H2O > [Cu(H2O)2L2]·(NO3)2 > [Cu(ClO4)2L2] > [Cu(BF4)2L2] in chloroform and exhibiting the catalytic effects of only [Cu(H2O)2L2]·(NO3)2 in acetone. Thus, the catalytic effect on catechol oxidation is strongly dependent on anions and media.
