Synthesis,Structure and Properties of a New Lead(Ⅱ) Complex of 1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic Acid, 1,10-Phenanthroline and Its Thermal Decomposition to PbO Micro-crystal Particles

The self-assembly of 1,10-phenanthroline(phen) and 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid(H2bdc) with Pb(NO3)2 under solvothermal conditions in N,N-dimethylacetamide(DMA) gives rise to a one-dimensional chain coordination polymer, [Pb(phen)(bdc)](1), which was characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This complex crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 7.5595(6), b = 9.8199(8), c = 13.1663(11) , α = 69.7590(10), β = 80.6000(10), γ = 71.3180(10)o, Z = 2, C20H12N2O4Pb, Mr = 551.51, Dc = 2.112 g/cm3, F(000) = 520 and μ = 9.757 mm-1. The final R = 0.0304 and wR = 0.0763 for 3427 observed reflections with I 2σ(I) and R = 0.0365 and wR = 0.0894 for all data. The structure contains one crystallographic unique Pb(Ⅱ) atom, one phen molecule chelating with a Pb(Ⅱ) atom, and one bdc2- anion, acting as a bidentate bridging ligand linking the Pb(Ⅱ) atoms to form a one-dimensional structure. The two-dimensional layer and three-dimensional stacking structures are formed by C–H···O hydrogen bonding interactions. The thermal stable and fluorescent properties of 1 were investigated. PbO micro-crystal particles are produced by calcination of powder sample of complex 1. The obtained PbO is characterized and observed by XRD and SEM analyses.
