Abstract
Anionic coordination frameworks stabilized by methylviologen (MV2+; 1,1′-dimethyl 4,4′-bipyridinium) as a photochromic module are a distinct class of functional materials. Herein, we report the first examples of alkaline earth metal methanesulfonates [MV{Mg(OSO2Me)3(H2O)2}2] (1), [MV{Ca(OSO2Me)3(H2O)2}2] (2), [2{Mg(OSO2Me)2(H2O)4}MV·2OSO2Me] (3), and [Me4-pip{Ca2(OSO2Me)6(H2O)2}]n (4) incorporating methylviologen or tetra-N-methylpiperazinium (Me4-pip) as a charge-balancing cation. X-ray crystallographic studies of 1–3 emphasize the role of isolated ion-pairs for the construction of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular assemblies and the ability of methanesulfonates to donate electrons (centroid⋯O = 3.09–3.15 Å) to promote photoinduced one-electron reduction of MV2+ to an MV˙+ radical cation in the solid state. The inorganic framework in 4 adopts a layered motif with an inter-lamellar spacing of 11.8 Å, providing spatial expanse to accommodate the organic cations.
