Two Zn(Ⅱ)/Cd(Ⅱ) Metal-organic Frameworks Constructed from 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic Acid and1,4-Bis(1-imidazolyl)benzene:Syntheses,Structures and Photoluminescent Properties

Two new d~(10 )metal-based metal-organic frameworks,{Zn_3(btc)_2(bib)_2(H_2O)_2]·2H_2O}_n(1)and{Cd_3(btc)_2(bib)_(1.5)(H_2O)_6]·6H_2O}_n(2)(btc=1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate anion,bib=1,4-bis(1-imidazolyl)benzene)have been prepared under hydrothermal conditions by the reactions of d~(10 )metal oxides of ZnO and CdO with the aromatic polycarboxylic H_3btc and the N-heterocyclic bib.The two products were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis,elemental analysis,thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),and IR spectroscopy.Complexes 1 and 2 crystallize in monoclinic C2/c and triclinic P 1 space groups,respectively.1 shows a 3D framework,and the potential large voids of the 3D network lead to a 3-fold interpenetrating architecture.2 displays a 2D framework,and the adjacent 2D layers expand into a 3D supramulecular network via rich hydrogen bonds.Moreover,the luminescent properties of the two complexes are investigated in solid state.
