The title compound, [CuNa(C₄H₃O₇S)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₃]_n, consists of one Cu^II cation, one Na^I cation, one 2‐sulfonatobutanedioate trianion (SSC³⁻), one 2,2′‐bipyridyl (bpy) ligand and three coordinated water molecules as the building unit. The coordination of the Cu^II cation is composed of two pyridyl N atoms, one water O atom and two carboxylate O atoms in a distorted square‐pyramidal coordination geometry with an axial elongation. The Na^I cation is six‐coordinated by three water molecules and three carboxylate O atoms from three SSC³⁻ ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. Two SSC³⁻ ligands link two Cu^II cations to form a Cu₂(SSC)₂(bpy)₂ macrocyclic unit lying across an inversion centre, which is further linked by Na^I cations via Na—O bonds to give a one‐dimensional chain. Interchain hydrogen bonds link these chains to form a two‐dimensional layer, which is further extended into a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework through π–π stacking interactions. The thermal stability of the title compound has also been investigated.     

Poly[bis(μ‐5‐iodoisophthalato)(methanol)dilead(II)] exhibiting a novel centrosymmetric rhombus‐shaped I4 unit

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Pb₂(C₈H₃IO₄)₂(CH₄O)]_n, contains two Pb^II atoms, two 5‐iodoisophthalate (5‐IIP²⁻) ligands and one coordinated methanol molecule. One Pb atom is eight‐coordinated, surrounded by seven carboxylate O atoms from five 5‐IIP²⁻ ligands and one O atom from the terminal methanol ligand. The other Pb atom is seven‐coordinated in a hemidirected geometry, surrounded by seven carboxylate O atoms from five 5‐IIP²⁻ ligands. Both Pb atoms are connected by carboxylate groups to form a one‐dimensional infinite rod along the a axis; neighbouring rods are further linked by the aromatic rings of 5‐IIP²⁻ to generate the final three‐dimensional structure with channels in the a direction. An O—H...O hydrogen bond between the methanol ligand and one of the carboxylate groups of a 5‐IIP²⁻ ligand stablizes the three‐dimensional framework. Interestingly, a centrosymmetric rhombus‐shaped I₄ unit is formed by four 5‐IIP²⁻ ligands, with I...I distances of 3.8841 (8) and 3.9204 (8) Å.

The coordination of one of the Cd atoms, Cd1, is composed of five O atoms and two N atoms from two tetraanionic edta ligands in a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry. The other Cd atom, Cd2, is six‐coordinated by five carboxylate O atoms from five edta ligands and one water molecule in a distorted octahedral geometry. Two neighbouring Cd1 atoms are bridged by a pair of carboxylate O atoms to form a centrosymmetric [Cd₂(edta)₂]⁴⁻ unit located on the inversion centre, which is further extended into a two‐dimensional layered structure through Cd2—O bonds. There are hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecules and carboxylate O atoms within the layer. The solvent water molecules occupy the space between the layers and interact with the host layers through O—H...O and C—H...O interactions.     

A two‐dimensional cadmium(II) coordination polymer based on 5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)isophthalic acid: poly[[tetraaquabis[μ3‐5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)isophthalato]dicadmium(II)] pentahydrate]

The title Cd^II compound, {[Cd₂(C₁₃H₇NO₄)₂(H₂O)₄]·5H₂O}_n, was synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of Cd(NO₃)₂·4H₂O and 5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)isophthalic acid (H₂L). The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent Cd^II cations, two deprotonated L²⁻ ligands, four coordinated water molecules and five isolated water molecules. One of the Cd^II cations adopts a six‐coordinate octahedral coordination geometry involving three O atoms from one bidentate chelating and one monodentate carboxylate group of two different L²⁻ ligands, one N atom of another L²⁻ ligand and two coordinated water molecules. The second Cd^II cation adopts a seven‐coordinate pentagonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry involving four O atoms from two bidentate chelating carboxylate groups of two different L²⁻ ligands, one N atom of another L²⁻ ligand and two coordinated water molecules. Each L²⁻ ligand bridges three Cd^II cations and, likewise, each Cd^II cation connects to three L²⁻ ligands, giving rise to a two‐dimensional graphite‐like 6³ layer structure. These two‐dimensional layers are further linked by O—H...O hydrogen‐bonding interactions to form a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture. The photoluminescence properties of the title compound were also investigated.     

A novel two‐dimensional cadmium(II) complex: poly[diaquatris(μ4‐cyclohexane‐1,4‐dicarboxylato)bis[2‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐1H‐benzimidazole]tricadmium(II)

The title compound, [Cd₃(C₈H₁₀O₄)₃(C₁₂H₉N₃)₂(H₂O)₂]_n or [Cd₃(chdc)₃(4‐PyBIm)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, was synthesized hydrothermally from the reaction of Cd(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O with 2‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐1H‐benzimidazole (4‐PyBIm) and cyclohexane‐1,4‐dicarboxylic acid (1,4‐chdcH₂). The asymmetric unit consists of one and a half Cd^II cations, one 4‐PyBIm ligand, one and a half 1,4‐chdc²⁻ ligands and one coordinated water molecule. The central Cd^II cation, located on an inversion centre, is coordinated by six carboxylate O atoms from six 1,4‐chdc²⁻ ligands to complete an elongated octahedral coordination geometry. The two terminal rotationally symmetric Cd^II cations each exhibits a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal geometry, coordinated by one N atom from 4‐PyBIm, five O atoms from three 1,4‐chdc²⁻ ligands and one O atom from an aqua ligand. The 1,4‐chdc²⁻ ligands possess two conformations, i.e.e,e‐trans‐chdc²⁻ and e,a‐cis‐chdc²⁻. The cis‐1,4‐chdc²⁻ ligands bridge the Cd^II cations to form a trinuclear {Cd₃}‐based chain along the b axis, while the trans‐1,4‐chdc²⁻ ligands further link adjacent one‐dimensional chains to construct an interesting two‐dimensional network.     

Poly[[tetraaqua(μ7‐pyridine‐2,3,5,6‐tetracarboxylato)dicadmium(II)] monohydrate]

The title compound, {[Cd₂(C₉HNO₈)(H₂O)₄]·H₂O}_n, consists of two crystallographically independent Cd^II cations, one tetrabasic pyridine‐2,3,5,6‐tetracarboxylate (pdtc) anion, four coordinated water molecules and one solvent water molecule. The Cd^II cations have distorted square‐antiprismatic (one pyridine N, six carboxylate O and one water O atom) and octahedral (three carboxylate O and three water O atoms) coordination environments. Each pdtc ligand employs its pyridine and carboxylate groups to chelate and bridge seven Cd^II cations. The square‐antiprismatic coordinated Cd^II cations are linked by pdtc ligands into a lamellar framework structure, while the octahedral coordinated Cd^II cations are bridged by the μ₂‐carboxylate O atoms and the pdtc ligands into a chain network that further joins neighbouring lamellae into a three‐dimensional porous network. The cavities are filled with solvent water molecules that are linked to the host through complex hydrogen bonding.     

Poly[(μ2‐aqua‐κ2O:O)(μ3‐azido‐κ3N1:N1:N3)(μ2‐isonicotinato‐κ2O:O′)lead(II)]

In the title compound, [Pb(C₆H₄NO₂)(N₃)(H₂O)]_n, the Pb ion is seven‐coordinated by three N atoms from three azide ligands, two O atoms from two isonicotinate (inic) ligands and two O atoms from two coordinated water molecules, forming a distorted monocapped triangular prismatic coordination geometry. Each azide ligand bridges three Pb^II ions in a μ_1,1,3 coordination mode to form a two‐dimensional three‐connected 6³ topology network extending in the bc plane. The carboxylate group of the inic unit and the aqua ligand act as coligands to bridge Pb^II ions. Adjacent two‐dimensional layers are connected by hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the isonicotinate N atom and the water molecule, resulting in an extended three‐dimensional network. The title complex is the first reported coordination polymer involving a p‐block metal, an azide and a carboxylate.     

A rare `mesh of trees' (mot) net: poly[aquahemi[μ4‐1,6‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)hexane](μ2‐5‐nitroisophthalato)cadmium(II)]

In the title coordination compound, [Cd(C₈H₃NO₆)(C₅H₈N₃)_0.5(H₂O)]_n, each Cd^II atom is six‐coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment surrounded by three carboxylate O atoms from two different 5‐nitroisophthalate (5‐NIP²⁻) ligands, two N atoms from two distinct 1,6‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)hexane (bth) ligands and one water molecule. The Cd^II centres are bridged by the bth ligands, which lie across centres of inversion, to give a honeycomb‐like two‐dimensional layer structure; the layers are further connected by the bridging 5‐NIP²⁻ ligands with a κ²;κ¹‐μ₂ coordination mode to generate the final three‐dimensional structure. Topologically, taking the the Cd^II atoms and the bth ligands as different four‐connected nodes and the 5‐NIP²⁻ ligands as linkers, the three‐dimensional structure can be simplified to a rare `mesh of trees' (mot) net with the Schäfli symbol (6⁶)(6⁴.8²)₂.     

A novel two‐dimensional CdII coordination polymer: poly[aqua[μ4‐2‐(4‐carboxylatobenzoyl)benzoato]cadmium(II)]

The title Cd^II coordination framework, [Cd(C₁₅H₈O₅)(H₂O)]_n or [Cd(bpdc)(H₂O)]_n [H₂bpdc is 2‐(4‐carboxybenzoyl)benzoic acid], has been prepared and characterized using IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermal analysis and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Each Cd^II centre is six‐coordinated by two O atoms from one 2‐(4‐carboxylatobenzoyl)benzoate (bpdc²⁻) ligand in chelating mode, three O‐donor atoms from three other bpdc²⁻ anions and one O atom from a coordinated water molecule in an octahedral coordination environment. Two crystallographically equivalent Cd^II cations are bridged by one O atom of the 2‐carboxylate group of one bpdc²⁻ ligand and by both O atoms of the 4‐carboxylate group of a second bpdc²⁻ ligand to form a binuclear [(Cd)₂(O)(OCO)] secondary building unit. Adjacent secondary building units are interlinked to form a one‐dimensional [Cd(OCO)₂]_n chain. The bpdc²⁻ ligands link these rod‐shaped chains to give rise to a complex two‐dimensional [Cd(bpdc)]_n framework with a 4,4‐connected binodal net topology of point symbol {4³.6².8}. The compound exhibits a strong fluorescence emission and typical ferroelectric behaviour in the solid state at room temperature.

In the title mixed‐ligand metal–organic polymeric complex [Cd(C₁₄H₈O₆S)(C₁₆H₁₆N₂)(H₂O)]_n, the asymmetric unit contains a crystallographically unique Cd^II atom, one doubly deprotonated 4,4′‐sulfonyldibenzoic acid ligand (H₂SDBA), one 3,4,7,8‐tetramethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline (TMPHEN) molecule and one water molecule. Each Cd^II centre is coordinated by two N atoms from the chelating TMPHEN ligand, three O atoms from monodentate carboxylate groups of three different SDBA²⁻ ligands and one O atom from a coordinated water molecule, giving a distorted CdN₂O₄ octahedral geometry. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that the compound is a one‐dimensional double‐chain polymer containing 28‐membered rings based on Cd₂O₂ clusters, with a Cd...Cd separation of 3.6889 (4) Å. These chains are linked by O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework. The framework is reinforced by π–π and C—O...π interactions.

The title compound, {[Ag(C₁₃H₁₄N₂)](C₁₀H₆O₆S₂)_0.5·2H₂O}_n, (I), features a three‐dimensional supramolecular sandwich architecture that consists of two‐dimensional cationic layers composed of polymeric chains of silver(I) ions and 1,3‐bis(4‐pyridyl)propane (bpp) ligands, linked by Ag...Ag and π–π interactions, alternating with anionic layers in which uncoordinated naphthalene‐1,5‐disulfonate (nds²⁻) anions and solvent water molecules form a hydrogen‐bonded network. The asymmetric unit consists of one Ag^I cation linearly coordinated by N atoms from two bpp ligands, one bpp ligand, one half of an nds²⁻ anion lying on a centre of inversion and two solvent water molecules. The two‐dimensional {[Ag(bpp)]⁺}_n cationic and {[(nds)·2H₂O]²⁻}_n anionic layers are assembled into a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework through long secondary coordination Ag...O interactions between the sulfonate O atoms and Ag^I centres and through nonclassical C—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

The three‐dimensional coordination polymer poly[[aqua[μ4‐2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoato]lead(II)] 1,2‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethylene hemisolvate]

A novel three‐dimensional coordination polymer, {[Pb(C₁₄H₈N₂O₄)(H₂O)]·0.5C₁₂H₁₀N₂}_n, has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of Pb(OAc)₂·3H₂O (OAc is acetate), 2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoic acid (H₂L) and 1,2‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethylene (bpe). The asymmetric unit contains a crystallographically independent Pb^II cation, one L²⁻ ligand, an aqua ligand and half a bpe molecule. Each Pb^II centre is seven‐coordinated by six O atoms of bridging–chelating carboxylate groups from L²⁻ ligands and by one O atom from a coordinated water molecule. The Pb^II cations are bridged by L²⁻ ligands, forming [PbO₂]_n chains along the a axis. These chains are further connected by L²⁻ ligands along the b and c axes to give a three‐dimensional framework with a 4¹²6³ topology. The channel voids are occupied by bpe molecules.     

A novel three‐dimensional heterometallic coordination polymer: poly[[diaquadi‐μ3‐chlorido‐μ2‐chlorido‐tri‐μ3‐nicotinato‐tricopper(I)gadolinium(III)] hemihydrate]

In the title polymeric heterometallic compound, {[Cu₃Gd(C₆H₄NO₂)₃Cl₃(H₂O)₂]·0.5H₂O}_n, comprising copper(I) and gadolinium(III) cations bridged by nicotinate (nic) ligands and chloride anions, the Gd^III centers display a bicapped trigonal prismatic geometry, defined by six carboxylate O atoms and two water molecules. For copper(I), one Cu center is three‐coordinated by three chloride ions and displays a trigonal–planar geometry; the other two Cu centers are four‐coordinated and display a very distorted tetrahedral geometry. The chloride anions act in μ₂‐ and μ₃‐bridging modes, linking the Cu^I ions into an infinite chain. The nic ligand exhibits a tridentate coordination mode, with the carboxylate O atoms linking to two Gd^III ions and the N atom linking to one Cu^I ion. Thus, a novel three‐dimensional heterometallic coordination polymer is constructed from Gd–carboxylate subunits and Cu—Cl chains. In addition, intra‐ and intermolecular O—H...O and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds are also observed within the three‐dimensional structure. Topologically, the framework represents an unusual 3,6‐connected (4.8²)₃(4¹⁰.6⁵) net.

Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis revealed that the title compound is a one‐dimensional double‐chain polymer containing 28‐membered rings based on the [Cd₂(CO₂)₂] rhomboid subunit. More interestingly, a chair‐shaped water hexamer cluster is observed in the compound.     

catena‐Poly[[[pentaaquathulium(III)]‐μ‐5‐sulfonatobenzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylato] 4,4′‐bipyridyl 1.5‐solvate hemihydrate]

The crystal structure of the title compound, {[Tm(C₈H₃O₇S)(H₂O)₅]·1.5C₁₀H₈N₂·0.5H₂O}_n, is built up from two [Tm(SIP)(H₂O)₅] molecules (SIP³⁻ is 5‐sulfonatobenzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylate), three 4,4′‐bipyridyl (bpy) molecules and one solvent water molecule. One of the bpy molecules and the solvent water molecule are located on an inversion centre and a twofold rotation axis, respectively. The Tm^III ion coordination is composed of four carboxylate O atoms from two trianionic SIP³⁻ ligands and five coordinated water molecules. The Tm³⁺ ions are linked by the SIP³⁻ ligands to form a one‐dimensional zigzag chain propagating along the c axis. The chains are linked by interchain O—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate a two‐dimensional layered structure. The bpy molecules are not involved in coordination but are linked by O—H...N hydrogen bonds to form two‐dimensional layers. The two‐dimensional layers are further bridged by the bpy molecules as pillars and the solvent water molecules through hydrogen bonds, giving a three‐dimensional supramolecular structure. π–π stacking interactions between the parallel aromatic rings, arranged in an offset fashion with a face‐to‐face distance of 3.566 (1) Å, are observed in the crystal packing.

Hydrogen‐bond interactions between coordinated water molecules and sulfonate/hydroxyl groups hold the network layers together and produce a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture.     

Poly[μ7‐sulfanediyldiacetato‐disilver(I)]

In the title coordination polymer, [Ag₂(C₄H₄O₄S)], each Ag^I cation is four‐coordinated by three of the four carboxylate O atoms and the S atom from symmetry‐related sulfanediyldiacetate ligands, thus defining a distorted tetrahedral geometry at the metal centre. The Ag^I cations are bridged by sulfanediyldiacetate groups, leading to a two‐dimensional layer structure. These layers are interconnected via Ag—S bonds to form a three‐dimensional coordination polymer network overall.     

Bis(μ‐5‐carboxybenzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ2O1:O3)bis[(2,2′‐bi‐1H‐imidazole‐κ2N3,N3′)zinc]

The title compound, [Zn₂(C₉H₄O₆)₂(C₆H₆N₄)₂], consists of two Zn^II ions, two 5‐carboxybenzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylate (Hbtc²⁻) dianions and two 2,2′‐bi‐1H‐imidazole (bimz) molecules. The Zn^II centre is coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms from two Hbtc²⁻ ligands and by two imidazole N atoms of a bimz ligand, in a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. Two neighbouring Zn^II ions are bridged by a pair of Hbtc²⁻ ligands, forming a discrete binuclear [Zn₂(Hbtc)₂(bimz)₂] structure lying across an inversion centre. Hydrogen bonds between carboxyl H atoms and carboxylate O atoms and between imidazole H atoms and carboxylate O atoms link the binuclear units. These binuclear units are further extended into a three‐dimensional supramolecular structure through extensive O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. Moreover, the three‐dimensional nature of the crystal packing is reinforced by the π–π stacking. The title compound exhibits photoluminescence in the solid state, with an emission maximum at 415 nm.

In the title coordination polymer, {[Cd(C₆H₈O₄S)(C₁₃H₁₄N₂)]·H₂O}_n, the Cd^II atom displays a distorted octahedral coordination, formed by three carboxylate O atoms and one S atom from three different 3,3′‐thiodipropionate ligands, and two N atoms from two different 4,4′‐(propane‐1,3‐diyl)dipyridine ligands. The Cd^II centres are bridged through carboxylate O atoms of 3,3′‐thiodipropionate ligands and through N atoms of 4,4′‐(propane‐1,3‐diyl)dipyridine ligands to form two different one‐dimensional chains, which intersect to form a two‐dimensional layer. These two‐dimensional layers are linked by S atoms of 3,3′‐thiodipropionate ligands from adjacent layers to form a three‐dimensional network.     

(6‐Oxido‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydropyrimidine‐5‐carboxylato‐κ2O5,O6)bis[2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐κ2N2,N3]manganese(II) monohydrate

In the title compound, [Mn(C₅H₂N₂O₄)(C₁₂H₉N₃)₂]·H₂O, the Mn^II centre is surrounded by three bidentate chelating ligands, namely, one 6‐oxido‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydropyrimidine‐5‐carboxylate (or uracil‐5‐carboxylate, Huca²⁻) ligand [Mn—O = 2.136 (2) and 2.156 (3) Å] and two 2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole (Hpybim) ligands [Mn—N = 2.213 (3)–2.331 (3) Å], and it displays a severely distorted octahedral geometry, with cis angles ranging from 73.05 (10) to 105.77 (10)°. Intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds both between the Hpybim and the Huca²⁻ ligands and between the Huca²⁻ ligands link the molecules into infinite chains. The lattice water molecule acts as a hydrogen‐bond donor to form double O...H—O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the Huca²⁻ O atoms, crosslinking the chains to afford an infinite two‐dimensional sheet; a third hydrogen bond (N—H...O) formed by the water molecule as a hydrogen‐bond acceptor and a Hpybim N atom further links these sheets to yield a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework. Possible partial π–π stacking interactions involving the Hpybim rings are also observed in the crystal structure.
