A one-dimensional Cu(II) coordination polymer with encapsulated antiferromagnetically coupled binuclear Cu(II) has been synthesized by using 5-nitroisophthalic acid (5-N-IPA) and 4-aminopyridine (4-APY) [Cu2(5-N-IPA)2(4-APY)4]n (1). Electrical properties are examined by complex impedance (Z*), dielectric permittivity (ε*), and ac conductivity studies at different frequencies (10 kHz–5 MHz) and temperatures (253–333 K). The contribution of grain and grain boundary has been explained by a different theoretical model. The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data for compound 1 were recorded between 300 and 2 K. The shape of the curve (χMT vs T) indicates dominant antiferromagnetic coupling, which results from the interaction between the copper(II) atoms.

Introduction

Coordination polymers (CPs)17 have been commodiously used in various fields, such as in supercapacitors,811 batteries,12 gas storage and separation, sensing,13 and electrocatalysis.14 But CPs with prominent magnetic and dielectric properties have garnered great attention as functional materials due to their embryonic applications in various fields, such as for electromagnetic interference shielding,15 capacitors,16,17 microwave tunable devices,18,19 and broadband electric-field tunable devices.20 Dielectric spectroscopy is routinely used to accumulate the information on the ac conduction mechanism and dielectric relaxation in an immense frequency range for different temperatures. The flexible qualitative delineation often provides new intuition into the field of dielectric behavior. For example, localized (i.e., long-range conductivity) and non-localized (i.e., dielectric relaxation) conduction processes inside the material can be esteemed by the nonexistence or existence of a relaxation peak in a frequency-dependent hypothetical modulus plot. The performance of dielectric parameter has been explored on transition metal oxide amorphous semiconductor, oxide perovskite material, ionically conducting polymer, and conducting glass.2123 Recently, a comprehensive study on ac conductivity and dielectric relaxation of CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Br, I) has been reported, which shows the dominance of non-Debye-type relaxation inside the material.24,25 In order to acquire long-range charge conduct and obvious magnetic behavior, it is pivotal for these compounds to have a tough intramolecular coupling and strong intermolecular ordering. One of the incredible characteristics of CP is its potential to acquire a distinct structural architecture under varying environments. The functional groups of the ligands and the length of the organic spacer, the reaction condition, and the nature and oxidation of metal ions immensely control the structure of the CPs. Among the 3d transition metal ions, nontoxic Cu(II) (d9) can display a wide distinction of structures and nuclearity. The magnetic superexchange interactions in the middle of copper centers across the bridging ligands of Cu(II) compounds are established.26,51 But the charge transfer mechanism and dielectric behavior of CPs have not been much explored. Recently, Zuo et al.28 and Loh et al.27 have reported the magnetic and conductivity property of copper-based CPs.

In this work, the 5-nitroisophthalate ion forms a 1D CP with Cu(II) metal node, and two axial positions are occupied by 4-aminopyridine (4-APY). The structure shows encapsulation of dinuclear Cu(II) in the 1D CP. The multinuclear Cu(II)-CP shows antiferromagnetic coupling and temperature-dependent dielectric properties.

Results and Discussion

Structure and Morphology of Compound 1, [Cu2(5-N-IPA)2(4-APY)4]n

[Cu2(5-N-IPA)2(4-APY)4]n crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c space group with Z = 4, and the details of refinement parameters and crystal data for compound 1 are tabulated in Table S1. The structural analysis of 1 has revealed that there are two types of copper centers (Figure 1a). One of them forms a 1D polymeric network via carboxylato bridging in the square of 5-N-IPA. 4-APY is appended to the axial coordination site of Cu(II) in the dimensional network and is hydrogen bonded (3.32 Å) with the amino group of another 1D network to form a porous 2D network (Figure 1c). In the pore of this 2D network, dinuclear Cu(II) are encapsulated by the help of hydrogen bonding and π···π interactions (Figure 1d). The geometry around Cu centers in dinuclear Cu(II) is a distorted square pyramidal, where Cu···Cu separation lies in the range 3.388 Å.

These complexes have the potential to form higher dimensional structures throughout H-bonding (2.865–3.320 Å) and supramoleculer (aromatic π···π) interactions (3.869–4.148 Å), (Figures 1b and S).2932,51,52 Some selected bond lengths and bond angles in 1 are shown in the Supporting Information (Table S2). Furthermore, the morphology of 1 was examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Figure 2 displays that the nanosheets are firmly stacked and intertwined with each other.

Thermogravimetric Analysis and Powder X-ray Diffraction Analysis

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of compound 1 is displayed showing that the compound is thermally stable up to 373 K (Figure S2). Therefore, no decomposition or deformation of compound 1 occurs at examined temperatures. The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of the as-synthesized compound exhibit broad diffraction peaks at 2θ (degree) as follows: 9.34, 10.55, 11.56, 14.38, 16.80, 19.48, 20.43, 22.55, 23.66, 26.28, and 30.23, which correspond to the (111), (120), (200), (102), (122), (132), (302), (042), (113), (322), and (502) planes, respectively. These were matched with the corresponding peaks of the simulated pattern, which confirmed that the bulk sample was uncontaminated (Figure S3).

Magnetic Study

The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data for compound 1 were recorded between 300 and 2 K. A plot of χMT versus T is shown in Figure 3. At room temperature, χMT is equal to 1.586 cm3 kmol–1, which is close to four uncoupled copper(II) ions with local spin S = 1/2 and g ≈ 2.06.

Figure 3.

Figure 3

Plot of χMT vs T for compound 1 (per four Cu atoms). The solid line shows the best fit of the data (see text).

When the sample is cooled, χMT decreases slowly, and below 75 K, it decreases more rapidly to a value of 0.634 cm3 kmol–1 at 2 K, which is slightly less for two isolated Cu(II) ions (0.75 cm3 kmol–1). The shape of this curve indicates dominant antiferromagnetic coupling, which results from the interaction between the copper(II) atoms. To fit the magnetic data, we consider two of the four copper present in the elemental cell as isolated from the magnetic point of view.

The interaction through the 5-nitroisophthalate ligand in the monodimensionl fragment must be negligible (Cu···Cu = 10.225 Å) (Figure 4), thus following the Curie law for each isolated Cu(II). This part can be subtracted from the global magnetic susceptibility to give only that corresponding to the dinuclear fragment [Cu(II)]2, which is aniferromagnetically coupled. Considering the above, the experimental data were fitted to the Bleaney–Bowers expression for an isotropically coupled pair of S = 1/2 ions (eq 1),33 in conjunction with an additional mean field correction term, χMF (eq 2), where N is Avogadro’s number, μB is the Bohr magneton, k is the Boltzmann constant, and z is the number of nearest neighbors.

The field dependence of magnetization (0–5 T) measured at 2 K for compound 1 is shown in Figure 5, in the form of M/NμB (per Cu4 unit) versus H/G. The magnetization reaches a value of 1.79 M/NμB at 5 T, which is slightly less than the expected S = 1/2 value of two isolated copper(II) atoms.

Dielectric Studies

The complex dielectric permittivity, ε*, of a material can be expressed as eq 3(34,35)

graphic file with name ao9b02650_m003.jpg 3

where ε′(ω) and ε″(ω) are the real and imaginary parts of the complex dielectric constant and ω = 2πf. Here, ε′(ω) and ε″(ω) represent the amount of electrical potential energy stored and the amount of energy dissipated due to polarization, respectively.36,37 The real and imaginary dielectric constants of the complex can be calculated from the measured capacitance in parallel mode using eqs 4 and 5

where Cp is known as the capacitance of the sample, ε0 (8.85 × 10–14 F/cm) is the dielectric permittivity in vacuum, A is the effective surface area of the pellet, d is the thickness of the pellet, and tan δ is the loss tangent or dissipation factor. The frequency dependence ε′(ω) for compound 1 depicts (Figure 6) that ε′(ω) decreases gradually with increasing frequency. This behavior is in agreement with the natural properties of organic and inorganic hybrid materials.4447 It has been observed that at a low frequency, ε′(ω) is increased with increasing temperature. Generally, there are four types of polarization, electronic, ionic, orientation, and space charge polarization, which are mainly responsible for the high dielectric constant of the material.35,50 This dielectric constant also strongly depends on the purity and perfection of the synthesized samples. The increase in ε′(ω) of this material may be due to the presence of metal ions with organic moieties and the non-bridging oxygen atom, which generate a dangling bond.48,49 These metal ions contribute to the space charge polarization, which leads to the increase in ε′(ω). A small change in ε′(ω) with increasing applied temperatures is also observed for all samples, which may be due to the increase in ionic polarization in the low-frequency region.38,39

Figure 6.

Figure 6

Frequency dependence ε′(ω) at different temperatures of compound 1.

The frequency and temperature dependence ε″(ω) (Figure 7) for this material shows that ε″(ω) decreases with increasing frequency at all temperatures. It has been observed that ε″(ω) increases faster with temperature in the low-frequency region. TThis may be due to the potential barriers generated by the crystal defects in the material for charge transport process. As a result, the contribution of space charges becomes limited until they are stopped at the grain boundary. In the low-frequency region, four types of polarizations contribute significantly to ε″(ω), but the contribution of ionic and orientational polarizations reduces in the higher frequency region. This effect decreases ε″(ω) with the increase in frequency for the examined temperatures.40,41

Complex Impedance Study

The complex impedance properties of compound 1 have been performed over an extensive range of frequency from 10 kHz to 5 MHz for different temperatures (253–333 K) using complex impedance spectroscopy. This is the most important method to explain the ionic movement mechanism of a material and the contribution of grain boundary and grain.42 Detailed information about the resistive and capacitive properties of the material can be obtained from this study. The frequency-dependence complex impedance (Z*) can be obtained using this model and is represented as eq 6

graphic file with name ao9b02650_m006.jpg 6

where the frequency-dependence real part of impedance Z′(ω) and the imaginary part of impedance Z″(ω) can be expressed as eqs 7 and 8

graphic file with name ao9b02650_m007.jpg 7
graphic file with name ao9b02650_m008.jpg 8

where ω = 2πf, Rg = grain resistance, Cg = grain capacitance, Rgb = grain boundary resistance, and Cgb = grain boundary capacitance.34,35,42

The variation in Z′(ω) as a function of frequency and temperature (Figure 8) for compound 1 follows a sigmoidal-type pattern with an increase in the frequency. The Z′(ω) values are higher in the low-frequency region and consequently decrease with an increase in frequency and temperature. This nature reveals the increase in ac conductivity as well as the presence of the negative temperature coefficient of resistance of this material, which can generally suggest the semiconducting nature of this compound. Higher values of Z′(ω) at low frequency and temperature significantly reveal the effect of large polarization. The decrease in Z′(ω) value at a higher frequency and temperature clearly indicates the less contribution of grain boundaries in the total resistance, leading to an increase in ac conductivity with an increase in the temperature as well as frequency (Figure 9).35

ac Conductivity

To explain the effect of Cu centers on the electrical conductivity of the one-dimensional Cu(II) CP with encapsulated antiferromagnetically coupled dinuclear Cu(II), the electrical conductivity measurement has also been done. Figure 10 reveals the variation in ac conductivity for compound 1. The lower conductivity for the material could be attributed to the low level of protonation of the carboxylate, nitro, and/or amino groups of the CP. The enhancement of ac conductivity for this material comes from the effective dispersion of the compound in the matrix, which favors improved electronic transport. It can be observed that the conductivity of the one-dimensional Cu(II) CP with encapsulated antiferromagnetically coupled dinuclear Cu(II) increases with frequency and the slope becomes higher in the higher frequency region. The ac conductivity is also considered to be the combined effect of intrinsic electric dipole polarization and interface charge polarization.

Figure 10.

Frequency dependence of σac(ω) at different temperatures of compound 1.

The phenomenon appears in the metal organic polymeric system. The reason behind this is the piling of mobile charges at the interfaces, as a result of which large dipoles on metal particles or clusters are made. Polarization as well as ac conduction inside the CP is found to be dependent on the concentration of these metal particles.34,36,43

Conclusions

We have successfully synthesized one-dimensional Cu(II) CP with encapsulated antiferromagnetically coupled dinuclear Cu(II) with fascinating dielectrical and magnetic properties. The charge transfer mechanism and dielectric relaxation throughout the CP have been established. However, the overall electromagnetic properties and the effect of temperature on the electromagnetic behavior of compound 1 reveal that our as-synthesized polymer will be suitable for energy storage applications in future; still, more enhancements are yet to be done to achieve an optimized energy storage device.

Experimental Section

Materials and General Method

Sigma-Aldrich has provided all the required chemicals. Micro-analytical data (C, H, N) were collected on a PerkinElmer 2400 CHNS/O elemental analyzer. The suitable single crystal of compound 1 was used for single-crystal diffraction. A Bruker SMART APEX II diffractometer equipped with graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) was used for data collection. The crystal structure was solved by the SHELX-97 package. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM, S-4800, Hitachi) was used for the morphological study, and the PXRD data were collected on a Bruker D8 ADVANCE X-ray diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.548 Å) generated at 40 kV and 40 mA and in a 2θ range of 5–50. Magnetic susceptibility measurements for compound 1 were carried out on polycrystalline samples, at the Servei de Magnetoquímica of the Universitat de Barcelona, with a Quantum Design SQUID MPMS-XL susceptometer apparatus working in the range 2–300 K under two magnetic field of 500 and 10 000 G. Diamagnetic corrections were estimated from Pascal tables. Frequency- and temperature-dependent electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of compound 1 were measured in the form of pellets (0.44 mm thick and 8.0 mm diameter). The samples are compressed under 5 tons/in.2 pressure using a hydraulic press. The pellet is placed between two copper electrodes and inserted with a holder vertically into a cylindrical furnace. All electrical measurements were done in the frequency range 10 kHz to 5 MHz in the temperature range 253–333 K using the LCR meter model Hioki IM3536. All the measurements were done at different temperatures under dark conditions, and the temperatures were controlled by an indigenous liquid nitrogen cryostat.

Synthesis of Compound

Figure 11 shows the schematic representation of the preparation of compound 1. A methanolic solution (2 mL) of 4-APY (18.82 mg, 0.2 mmol) was judiciously layered using a water–metahnol (1:1) mixed solvent above the aqueous solution (2 mL) of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, (48.32 mg, 0.2 mmol). 5-Nitroisophthalic acid (5-N-IPA, 42.226 mg, 0.2 mmol) in ethanol (2 mL) was deprotonated by Et3N (40.476 mg, 0.2 mmol) and was layered carefully above the 4-APY to build an uninterrupted layer. It was then allowed to diffuse, and the deep-blue-colored block-shaped crystals were settled on the glass wall after a week. Under a microscope, the crystals were separated and washed with methanol and water (1:1) mixed solvent and dried. The yield of [Cu2(5-N-IPA)2(4-APY)4]n, was 84% (91.84 mg). The elemental analysis for the compound was found: C, 43.87; H, 7.9; N, 14.23%.
