Crystal data for 1: triclinic, space group P1, a = 9.4300(17), b = 12.148(2), c = 13.721(2) , α = 109.620(2), β = 94.351(2), γ = 94.830(2)°, C32H30N4O7Cu, Mr = 646.14, V = 1466.2(4) 3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.464 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 0.801 mm-1, F(000) = 670, the final R = 0.0337 and wR = 0.0859 for 5122 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). And those for 2: monoclinic, space group P2/n, a = 7.1866(11), b = 14.144(2), c = 14.407(2) , β = 101.427(2)°, C32H28N4O6Zn, Mr = 629.95, V = 1435.4(4) 3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.457 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 0.908 mm-1, F(000) = 652, the final R = 0.0438 and wR = 0.0821 for 2546 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). In 1 and 2, ph or tp ligands bridge the six-coordinated copper(II) or four-coordinated zinc(II) ions forming 1D zigzag chains while L ligands act as the terminal monodentate ligand. It is noted that weak non-classical C–H···O plays the important and dominating roles in the formation of 2D supramolecular architectures of 1, but in 2 non-classical C–H···O and aromatic π-π stacking interactions are quite important and play dominant roles in the self-assembly of 2D supramolecular architectures.     

A New Pillared-layer Framework with Rare Mn（II）-triazole-carboxylate Magnetic Layer Exhibiting an Antiferromagnetic Ordering

A novel pillared-layer framework with a (52.6)(53.63.73.8) Schl fli symbol, [Mn(H2O)(Htrz)(Hbtc)]n (1), was prepared by the reaction of 1,2,4-triazole (Htrz), 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3 btc), and Mn Ⅱ salt and structurally and magnetically characterized. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P212121 with a=7.1618(5), b=9.0356(6), c=10.9740(13) , V=1292.54(15) 3 , D c=1.799 g/cm3 , Mr=350.15, Z=4, F(000)=708, μ=1.064 mm -1 , and the final R=0.0177 and wR=0.0462 for 2273 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The unique octahedral Mn Ⅱ ion in 1 is periodically linked into a two-dimensional (2D) magnetic layer by μ2 -N1 , N4 -Htrz and syn, anti-COO of doubly deprotonated Hbtc 2anion, which is further supported by the phenyl backbone of Hbtc 2ligand to generate a 3D pillared-layer framework. Magnetically, complex 1 displays an antiferromagnetic ordering below 5.0 K due to the cooperative antiferromagnetic couplings mediated by the mixed heterobridges within the magnetic layer.     

Two Zinc（Ⅱ） Carboxyarylphosphonates with Unusual Polynuclear Zn（Ⅱ） Units：Syntheses and Crystal Structures

[Zn2(PCP)(phen)(H2O)F]n 1 and {[Zn3(MCP)2(phen)2(H2O)]·2.5H2O}n 2(PCP = p-O2C(C6H4)PO33-,MCP = m-O2C(C6H4)PO33- and phen = phenanthroline) were obtained by hydrothermal synthesis and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c space group with a = 7.908(2),b = 20.254(3),c = 13.477(2) ,β = 107.76(3)°,V = 2055.7(8) 3,Z = 4,C20H16FN2O6PZn2,Mr = 561.10,Dc = 1.813 g/cm3,μ = 2.463 mm-1,F(000) = 1128,the final R = 0.0340 and wR = 0.0794.Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/n space group with a = 15.629(3),b = 18.141(4),c = 17.723(7) ,β = 121.89(2)°,V = 4267(2) 3,Z = 4,C40H31N4O13.5P2Zn3,Mr = 1041.70,Dc = 1.620 g/cm3,μ = 1.818 mm-1,F(000) = 2108,the final R = 0.0669 and wR = 0.1775.In compound 1,the tetranuclear Zn4 units are linked together by μ4-PCP3- to build 2D(4,4) layers,which are further interconnected through the μ2-bridging fluorion into a 3D framework with 1D phen ligands-filled channels.As for the 3D supramolecular framework of 2,the novel hexanuclear Zn6 units with "chair" conformation are extended by the moieties of μ4-MCP3- ligand to a 2D(4,4) layer on the bc plane,which is viewed as the 2-folded layers in 1.In both compounds,the structures are stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions and π-π stacking interactions between the phen rings.Additionally,FT-IR spectroscopy and the fluorescent properties are discussed.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of catena-Poly[[[2,4-dibromo-6-[（3-dimethylaminopropylimino）-methyl]phenolato]copper（II）]-μ-azido]

A novel end-to-end azido-bridged polynuclear Schiff-base copper（II） complex, [Cu（C12H15Br2N2O）（N3）]n, was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group Pbcn with a = 24.588（5）, b = 10.377（2）, c = 13.022（3） A, V= 3322.6（12） A^3, Z = 8, Dc = 1.874 g/cm^3, Mr = 468.65, λ（MoKa） = 0.71073 A,μ = 6.130 mm^-1, F（000） = 1832, R = 0.0637 and wR = 0.1176. The Cu atom in the complex is five-coordinated in a square pyramidal geometry by three donor atoms of the Schiff-base ligand, and two N atoms from two bridging azide ligands. The [2,4-dibromo-6-[（3-dimethylaminopropylimino）methyl]phenolato]copper（II） units are linked by the bridging azide ligands, giving zigzag polymeric chains with backbones of the [--Cu-N-N-N--Cu]n type running along the b axis.
