Blue-emissions Modulated by Packing Forces in Alkaline-earth Metal Organic Frameworks Based on Thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic: Structures and Theoretical Calculations

Solvothermal reactions of Ca(NO_3)_2, Sr(NO_3)_2 with thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic in DMF afforded two new inorganic-organic hybrid frameworks, [M(TDC)(DMF)]n(M = Ca(1), Sr(2), TDC = thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic, DMF = N,N?-dimethylformamide), which have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and IR spectra. Both compounds feature three-dimensional(3D) frameworks based on the versatile coordinated modes(μ_3-η~2:η~2, μ_3-η~2:η~1, μ_2-η~2:η~1) of carboxylic groups in tdc ligands. C–H···S hydrogen bonds and C–H···π interactions contribute to the stabilization of the structures. They exhibit weaker packing force compared with their literature isomers. Consequently, blue and blue/green luminescence of two compounds has been observed. Their luminescence mechanism can be ascribed to ligand-to-metal charge transfer(LMCT) compared with the ligand-centered luminescence in their isomers. Electronic structural calculations illustrate that under the condition of weaker packing forces, larger gaps can be achieved, which facilitate the LMCT. This work suggests that the introduction of S-heteroatom can result in more electrons rich in the metal centers, thus giving rise to metal-involved luminescence.
