Both complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data for complex 1: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 11.9214(10), b = 23.5828(17), c = 14.0387(12) , β = 135.219(4)o, C22H30Cl2CoN8O9, Mr = 680.37, V = 2780.1(4) 3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.625 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 0.876 mm-1, F(000) = 1404, the final R = 0.0725 and wR = 0.1530 for 5726 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)).

X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that each cobalt atom in the two complexes is chelated by six nitrogen atoms from two tridentate ligands L, exhibiting a slightly distorted octahedral coordination sphere. In both complexes, the strong hydrogen-bonding interactions between the lattice waters and N-H groups of the ligands result in 1D chains which are further connected by ClO4-(or NO3-) groups to form a 3D framework. In complex 2, the strong π-π interactions increase the stability of the structure.

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Binuclear Cd(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer Based on 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylate and Imidazole

The hydrothermal reaction of Cd(OAc)2·H2O with 1,2-benzenedicarboxylate(1,2-BDC),imidazole and H2O resulted in the formation of a binuclear polymeric Cd(Ⅱ) complex {[Cd2(1,2-BDC)2(Im)4]·(H2O)}n which was then characterized by elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.The crystal is of monoclinic system,space group P21/c with a = 14.6455(3),b = 9.3530(2),c = 23.7838(5) ,β = 106.6290(10)°,C112H104Cd8N32O36,Mr = 3373.47,V = 3121.64(11) 3,Dc = 1.795 g/cm3,F(000) = 1672,μ = 1.428 cm-1 and Z = 1.The final R = 0.0316 and wR = 0.0687 for 5045 reflections with I > 2σ(I).In the title complex,the two Cd(Ⅱ) ions are in different coordination environments with distorted octahedral and pengonal bipyramidal geometries,respectively.Two Cd polyhedra are linked together through one μ2-η1:η1 and one μ2-η1:η2 carboxylate groups from different 1,2-BDC ligands,giving rise to a binuclear Cd(Ⅱ) cluster,and such clusters are connected by bridged 1,2-BDC ligands to form a 2-D structure along the c axis.The inter-and intermolecular hydrogen bonds further connect the 2-D structures into a 3-D supramolecular network.     

A 3-fold Interpenetrated lvt Cd(Ⅱ) Network Constructed from 4-[(3-pyridyl)methylamino]benzoate Acid

A new three-dimensional(3D) coordination polymer, [Cd(L)2H2O]n·5nH2O 1 with 4-[(3-pyridyl)methylamino]benzoate acid(HL), has been synthesized by slow evaporation solvent at room temperature, and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, thermal analysis, fluorescence spectrum and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group I-4, with a = 20.7937(16), c = 13.515(2), V = 5843.5(11) 3, C26H34CdN4O10, Mr = 674.97, Dc = 1.534 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 0.808 mm-1, F(000) = 2768, Z = 8, the final R = 0.0276 and wR = 0.0691 for 5323 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)).

Synthesis and Single-crystal Structure of a Silver(Ⅰ) Carboxyarylphosphonate: [Ag(H_2BCP)(4,4'-bipy)]·2H_2O

The title compound, a novel Ag(Ⅰ) carboxyarylphosphonate [Ag(H2BCP)(4,4'- bipy)]·2H2O (H3BCP = p-H2O3PCH2C6H4COOH, 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine), was synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 5.7038(11), b = 22.397(4), c = 5.602(4) ?, β = 106.26(3)°, V = 1913.4(7) 3, Z = 4, C18H20N2O7PAg, Mr = 515.20, Dc = 1.788 g/cm3, μ = 1.182 mm-1, F(000) = 1040, the final R = 0.0404 and wR = 0.1216 for 4178 observed reflections with I 2σ(Ⅰ). In the structure, the Ag(Ⅰ) cations are bridged by 4,4'-bipy to give rise to 1D chains running along the b axis. These chains are linked further by the interactions of O (from BCP ligands) and Ag atoms to yield 2D layers. Hydrogen bonding interactions and weak π-π stacking interactions between 4,4'-bipy rings assemble such adjacent layers to generate a 3D supramolecular architecture.
