Abstract: | The title compoundCu2(IB)2(HIB)2]1 was synthesized via the hydrothermal reaction of CuSO4·5H2O and NaOH with 4-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid(HIB),and characte-rized by elemental analysis and infrared spectra.The crystal of 1 crystallizes in monoclinic,space group C2/c with a=24.513(8),b=18.948(5),c=17.248(6)(A),β=119.81(2)°,V=6951(4)(A)3,Z=8,C40H30Cu2N8O8,Mr=877.80,Dc=1.678 g/cm3,F(000)=3584 and μ(MoKa)=1.295 mm-1.The final R=0.0542 and wR=0.1335 for 5398 observed reflections with I>2σ(I)and R=0.0845 and wR=0.1520 for all data.X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the title complex is a unique 'three-in-one'crystal of coordination network through strong hydrogen bonds and coordination covalent bonds.The thermogravimetric analysis measurement showed that compound 1 has thermal stability as no strictly clean weight loss step occurs below 300℃. |
