A new two-dimensional polymeric manganese compound [Mn(PhCOO)2(4,4'-bipyridine)]n 1 has been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in space group Pbcn with a = 18.7158(2), b = 11.6919(3), c = 9.4799(2)(A), V = 2074.42(7)(A)3, Z = 4, Mr = 453.34, Dc = 1.452 g/cm3, μ = 0.670 mm-1 and F(000) = 932. The final refinement gave R = 0.0458 and wR = 0.1439 for 1358 observed reflections with Ⅰ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ). The complex consists of repeating units of Mn(PhCOO)2(4,4'-bipyridine). Each Mn center is sixcoordinated by four carboxylate O atoms of four benzoate anions and two pyridyl N atoms from bipy ligands to furnish a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The two adjacent Mn atoms are connected by a pair of μ1,3-carboxylate groups to form infinite chains, which are further interlinked by bipy to complete a 2D grid network. The magnetic property of the polymeric complex has also been investigated.

A novel viologen(4,4'bipyridinium)-based complex (CH3-4,4'-H2bipy)(HgCl4) (1),in which the CH3-4,4'-H2bipy (MQ2+) was generated in situ,has been synthesized via hydrothermal reaction and structurally characterized. Complex 1 crystallizes in the space group P21/c of monoclinic system with four formula units in a cell:a = 8.1848(6),b = 21.809(2),c = 9.0285(6) ,β = 107.377(1)°,V = 1538.0(2) 3,C11H11Cl4HgN2,Mr = 513.61,Dc = 2.218 g/cm3,S = 1.009,μ(MoKα) = 10.685 mm-1,F(000) = 956,R = 0.0360 and wR = 0.0812. The crystal structure analysis reveals that the title complex features an isolated structure based on a CH3-4,4'-H2bipy moiety and a mercury atom terminally bound by four chlorine atoms. Photoluminescence investigation reveals a strong emission in blue region,which may originate from π→π* charge-transfer interaction of the CH3-4,4'-H2bipy moiety.

Each L^2- ligand serves as a bridging ligand to link two Mn（Ⅱ） atoms, leading to a single-strand zigzag coordination polymer. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between adjacent chains as well as π-π stacking interactions extend the complex into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. Moreover, the title compound emits strong red fluorescent light （λem（max） = 610 nm） in EtOH solution.

Fe(bipy)(CN)(4)](-) as a versatile building block for the design of heterometallic systems: synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic properties of PPh(4)[Fe(III)(bipy)(CN)(4)] x H(2)O, [[Fe(III)(bipy)(CN)(4)](2)M(II)(H(2)O)(4)] x 4H(2)O, and [[Fe(III)(bipy)(CN)(4)](2)Zn(II)] x 2H(2)O [bipy = 2,2'-Bipyridine; M = Mn and Zn

The new cyano complexes of formulas PPh(4)[Fe(III)(bipy)(CN)(4)] x H(2)O (1), [[Fe(III)(bipy)(CN)(4)](2)M(II)(H(2)O)(4)] x 4H(2)O with M = Mn (2) and Zn (3), and [[Fe(III)(bipy)(CN)(4)](2)Zn(II)] x 2H(2)O (4) [bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine and PPh(4) = tetraphenylphosphonium cation] have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The structure of complex 1 is made up of mononuclear [Fe(bipy)(CN)(4)](-) anions, tetraphenyphosphonium cations, and water molecules of crystallization. The iron(III) is hexacoordinated with two nitrogen atoms of a chelating bipy and four carbon atoms of four terminal cyanide groups, building a distorted octahedron around the metal atom. The structure of complexes 2 and 3 consists of neutral centrosymmetric [[Fe(III)(bipy)(CN)(4)](2)M(II)(H(2)O)(4)] heterotrinuclear units and crystallization water molecules. The [Fe(bipy)(CN)(4)](-) entity of 1 is present in 2 and 3 acting as a monodentate ligand toward M(H(2)O)(4) units [M = Mn(II) (2) and Zn(II) (3)] through one cyanide group, the other three cyanides remaining terminal. Four water molecules and two cyanide nitrogen atoms from two [Fe(bipy)(CN)(4)](-) units in trans positions build a distorted octahedron surrounding Mn(II) (2) and Zn(II) (3). The structure of the [Fe(phen)(CN)(4)](-) complex ligand in 2 and 3 is close to that of the one in 1. The intramolecular Fe-M distances are 5.126(1) and 5.018(1) A in 2 and 3, respectively. 4 exhibits a neutral one-dimensional polymeric structure containing two types of [Fe(bipy)(CN)(4)](-) units acting as bismonodentate (Fe(1)) and trismonodentate (Fe(2)) ligands versus the divalent zinc cations through two cis-cyanide (Fe(1)) and three fac-cyanide (Fe(2)) groups. The environment of the iron atoms in 4 is distorted octahedral as in 1-3, whereas the zinc atom is pentacoordinated with five cyanide nitrogen atoms, describing a very distorted square pyramid. The iron-zinc separations across the single bridging cyanides are 5.013(1) and 5.142(1) A at Fe(1) and 5.028(1), 5.076(1), and 5.176(1) A at Fe(2). The magnetic properties of 1-3 have been investigated in the temperature range 2.0-300 K. 1 is a low-spin iron(III) complex with an important orbital contribution. The magnetic properties of 3 correspond to the sum of two magnetically isolated spin triplets, the antiferromagnetic coupling between the low-spin iron(III) centers through the -CN-Zn-NC- bridging skeleton (iron-iron separation larger than 10 A) being very weak. More interestingly, 2 exhibits a significant intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction between the central spin sextet and peripheral spin doublets, leading to a low-lying spin quartet.

Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis reveals that compound 1 features a self-penetrating two-dimensional (2D) layered structure. According to topology analysis, this 2D framework can be characterized as a (3,4)-connected (6.72)2 (62.8)2 (73.8.102) net that has never been reported before. Finally, these 2D layers are further linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π…π interactions to form a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework. Moreover, Compound 1 exhibits strong blue photoluminescence at room temperature.

A novel 2D Mn(Ⅱ) coordination polymer [Mn(CH3COO)2(INH)]n(INH=isoniazid) has been synthesized in DMF solution with isoniazid and Mn(CH3COO)2 . The polymer was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, FTIR and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P2 1 /c with a=9.3251(18), b=16.340(3), c=8.8096(17) , β=94.747(3)°, V=1337.7(4) 3 , Z=4, μ(MoKα)=1.006 mm -1 , F(000)=636, R=0.0754 and wR=0.1375 (I > 2σ(I)). In the complex, each Mn(Ⅱ) atom is coordinated to three CH3COO- groups and two INH ligands. The Mn(Ⅱ) atoms locate in a distorted coordination octahedron and are bridged by CH3COO- ions to form a 1D S shaped chain extending along the c direction. The INH molecules act as bridges to link the Mn(Ⅱ) atoms of adjacent chains and further construct a lamellar polymer. The remaining coordination site is occupied by an O atom of the other CH3COO-. The experimental results show that the title complex has good luminescence property and could be used as potential optical materials.
