In compound 1, the Cd(Ⅱ) ions are linked by the carboxylate groups of 2-NO_2-BDC ligands to give a two-dimensional layered structure based on the centrosymmetric dinuclear Cd_2(COO)_2 units, which are further connected by the 4,4?-DPA ligands to produce a three-dimensional framework with pcu topology. Careful examination revealed that compound 1 is a 2-fold interpenetrating framework. Furthermore, the gas adsorption properties of 1 for N_2 and CO_2 have also been investigated.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two New Metal Phosphonates:[Mn(H_2O)_2(C_(12)H_8N_2)(HO_3PCH_2CH_2CO_2)] and [Co(H_2O)_4(C_(10)H_8N_2)]·(HO_3PCH_2CH_2CO_2)

By the reactions of manganese(II) acetate, 2-sulfoethylphosphonic acid, 1,10-phen (1,10-phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline) or cobalt(II) acetate, 4,4'-bipy and 2-carboxyethylphosphonic acid, two novel compounds of [Mn(H2O)2(C12H8N2)(HO3PCH2CH2CO2)] (1) and[Co(H2O)4 (C10H8N2)]· (HO3PCH2CH2CO2) (2) have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 has a 0D structure. Two Mn(II) ions are linked by two 2-carboxyethylphosphonic acid ligands, forming a centrosymmetric dimer. These dimers are further interlinked into a 2D layer structure by π-π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds. Compound 2 has a 1D chain structure. The 2-carbo- xyethylphosphonic acid remains uncoor- dinated and acts as the organic template. By the bridge of 4,4'-bipy, the [Co(4,4'-bipy)]2+ chains are formed.     

Synthesis and Single-crystal Structure of a Silver(Ⅰ) Carboxyarylphosphonate: [Ag(H_2BCP)(4,4'-bipy)]·2H_2O

The title compound, a novel Ag(Ⅰ) carboxyarylphosphonate [Ag(H2BCP)(4,4'- bipy)]·2H2O (H3BCP = p-H2O3PCH2C6H4COOH, 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine), was synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 5.7038(11), b = 22.397(4), c = 5.602(4) ?, β = 106.26(3)°, V = 1913.4(7) 3, Z = 4, C18H20N2O7PAg, Mr = 515.20, Dc = 1.788 g/cm3, μ = 1.182 mm-1, F(000) = 1040, the final R = 0.0404 and wR = 0.1216 for 4178 observed reflections with I 2σ(Ⅰ). In the structure, the Ag(Ⅰ) cations are bridged by 4,4'-bipy to give rise to 1D chains running along the b axis. These chains are linked further by the interactions of O (from BCP ligands) and Ag atoms to yield 2D layers. Hydrogen bonding interactions and weak π-π stacking interactions between 4,4'-bipy rings assemble such adjacent layers to generate a 3D supramolecular architecture.
