The present work reports the synthesis and characterization of six new inorganic-organic hybrid materials containing Si8O12 (T8) or Si7O11H (T7) core built on polyoctahedral silsesquioxanes (POSS) backbone. To these units, tri-, penta- and hexadentate ligands containing N3, N4O and N5O coordinating sites were attached by reacting 3-(glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) with primary/secondary amines followed self-condensation reaction, in basic medium. To prove that the ligands attached to the silicate backbone can bind metal ions, the materials were complexed with Zn(II) ions. The functionalized POSSs containing the ligands with N4O and N5O coordinating sites reacted with Zn(II) at 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. However, the reaction between the POSS containing the N3 ligand resulted in a stoichiometric ratio metal:ligand of 1:2. IR spectroscopy revealed the formation of siloxane cores. This feature was further confirmed by 29Si NMR, which is dominated by a signal around -67 ppm, typical of T3 sites. In addition to this study using Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine, there are many other studies that have used Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine(cas: 1539-42-0Electric Literature of C12H13N3) was used in this study.
Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine(cas: 1539-42-0) is a secondary amine with two picolyl substituents. As a tridentate ligand this compound provides three nitrogen donors that affords good selectivity for Zn2+ over biologically relevant metals such as Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+, and leaves coordination sites free for anion binding.
