In both structures, the Cu^Ⅱ metal centers adopt five-coordination in slightly distorted tetragonal pyramidal geometries, while the second N-donor ligands bond or chelate to Cun ions as the terminal moiety. The weak interactions extend the two structures into high-dimensional supramolecular coordination-polymers.     

Two 3-D Neutral Zn(Ⅱ)-MOFs Generated from the Asymmetric Schiff-base Ligand

Two new Zn(Ⅱ)-MOFs were synthesized based on an asymmetric Schiff-base ligand LH, which is obtained by the condensation of 5-formyl-8-hydroxyquinoline and 3-pyridinecarboxylic acid hydrazide. In different mixed solvents, we get two new isomorphism compounds, [Zn(L)2]·C4H8O2·2MeOH(1) and [Zn(L)2]·CH2Cl2·2MeOH(2). Compounds 1 and 2 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and IR. Compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 13.856(4), b = 14.156(4), c = 9.620(3) , β = 110.167(5)°, V = 1771.3(9) 3, Dc = 1.500 g/cm3, C38H38N8O8 Zn, Mr = 800.13, F(000) = 832, μ(MoKα) = 0.761 mm-1, Z = 2, the final R = 0.0596 and wR = 0.1221 for 2112 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). Compound 2 belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 13.575(3), b = 14.130(3), c = 9.485(2) , β = 107.908(3)°, V = 1731.2(6) 3, Dc = 1.529 g/cm3, C35H32Cl2N8O6 Zn, Mr = 796.96, F(000) = 820, μ(MoKα) = 0.926 mm-1, Z = 2, the final R = 0.0527 and wR = 0.1395 for 2501 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). The Zn(Ⅱ) centers in both 1 and 2 display a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The octahedral Zn(Ⅱ) nodes and L linkages build up 2-D nets consisting of parallelogram-like grids in the ab plane. The neighboring nets stack through hydrogen bonds to generate 3-D rhombic channels. In 1, the 1,4-dioxane and MeOH guests alternatively arrange in the channels and effectively take up the free space; while in 2, the CH2Cl2 guests are arranged in the channels. In addition, the encapsulated MeOH molecules are bonded to the framework by hydrogen bonds.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a 1D Alternate Chain Polymer [Zn2（NBA）2（4,4′-bipy）]n

A one-dimensional zinc-containing coordination polymer, [Zn2（NBA）2（4,4′-bipy）]n （NBA = 3-nitrobenzoic acid, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyrindine）, has been solvothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and elemental analysis. The crystal structure is of monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 24.6478（2）, b = 14.0964（3）, c = 11.4275（2）A, β=108.7870（10）°, V = 3758.89（11） ,A^3, C38H20N6O16Zn2, Mr = 947.34, Z = 4, De = 1.674 g/cm^3 μ= 1.363 mml, F（000） = 1912, R = 0.0720 and wR = 0.2277 for 2841 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I）. In this compound, NBA in syn-syn coordination mode bridges zinc centers into dimericzinctetracarboxylate [Zn2（COO）4] secondary building units （SBUs） which are linked through μ-4,4′-bpy affording 1D alternating chains. These adjacent chains are further stacked through intermolecular π...π interactions to form a 3D framework.
