One-dimensional Supramolecular Chain Based on a Dinuclear Terbium（Ⅲ） 4-Cyanobenzoate Complex

A new dinuclear Tb（Ⅲ） 4-cyanobenzoate complex Tb2（4-cba）6（phen）2] （4-Hcba = 4-cyanobenzoic acid and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline） 1 has been synthesized by solvothermal reaction in an ethanol/water mixed solution at 100℃ and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic data： C72H40N10O12Tb2, Mr=1554.98, triclinic Pi, a = 9.903（3）, b = 11.769（8）, c = 15.078（8）A, a = 111.42（12）, It = 96.37（19）, γ = 101-24（14）°, V= 1572（1）A3, Z= 1, Dc = 1.642 g/cm^3, F（000） = 768 μ = 2.305 mm^-1, the final R = 0.0205 and wR = 0.0543 for 5479 reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. Structural analysis shows that 1 displays an isolated dinuclear structure. Two eight-coordinated Tb（Ⅲ） ions are bridged by four 4-cba ligands in the syn-syn bidentate coordination mode, and two other 4-cba ligands chelate these two Tb（Ⅲ） ions. The title complex molecules are connected through π-π stacking interactions to generate a one-dimensional supramolecular chain, The characteristic infrared spectra, luminescent properties and thermogravimetric analyses have also been discussed.
