Abstract
Complexes of the alkali metals Li-Cs with 3-thiophenecarboxylate (3tpc), 2-methyl-3-furoate (2m3fur), 3-furoate (3fur), 4-hydroxycinnamate (4hocin), and 4-hydroxybenzoate (4hob) ions were prepared via neutralisation reactions, and the structures of [Li2(3tpc)2]n (1Li); [K2(3tpc)2]n (1K); [Rb(3tpc)(H2O)]n (1Rb); [Cs{H(3tpc)2}]n (1Cs); [Li2(2m3fur)2(H2O)3] (2Li); [K2(2m3fur)2(H2O)]n (2K); [Li(3fur)]n(3Li); [K(4hocin](H2O)3]n (4K); [Rb{H(4hocin)2}]n.nH2O (4Rb); [Cs(4hocin)(H2O)]n (4Cs); [Li(4hob)]n (5Li); [K(4hob)(H2O)3]n (5K); [Rb(4hob)(H2O)]n (5Rb); and [Cs(4hob)(H2O)]n (5Cs) were determined via X-ray crystallography. Bulk products were also characterised via XPD, IR, and TGA measurements. No sodium derivatives could be obtained as crystallographically suitable single crystals. All were obtained as coordination polymers with a wide variety of carboxylate-binding modes, except for dinuclear 2Li. Under conditions that normally gave coordinated carboxylate ions, the ligation of hydrogen dicarboxylate ions was observed in 1Cs and 4Rb, with short H-bonds and short O…O distances associated with the acidic hydrogen. The alkali-metal carboxylates showed corrosion inhibitor properties inferior to those of the corresponding rare-earth carboxylates.
