Compound (1) consists of mononuclear zinc(II) molecules which forms a 2D supramolecular structure based on hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl groups (and aromatic groups as well) and carboxylate oxygen atoms. Compound (2) displays 1D zigzag chains which are combined to 1D supramolecular double-chains by π–π stacking and further assembled into a 3D supramolecular framework through hydrogen bonds.     

Crystal Structure,Solution and Solid‐state Photoluminescence of a 2D Zinc(II) Supramolecular Architecture

A new 2D zinc(II) supramolecular complex [Zn(2,4‐D)(o‐phen)(H₂O)₂](NO₃) ( 1 ) (2,4‐D = 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, o‐phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline), was synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, elemental analyses, TG analysis, IR, and luminescence spectroscopy. For complex 1 , each Zn^II ion lies in a pentacoordinate distorted quadrilateral pyramidal configuration. The 8‐member‐ring hydrogen bonds clusters result in 1D ladder‐like supramolecular chains, which further stack up by face‐to‐face π–π stacking interactions into 2D supramolecular layers. The TG analysis shows that complex 1 has high thermal stability. The solution and solid‐state photoluminescence of 1 are reported.

The low spin Co(II) fragment with homoleptic 1,10-phenanthroline ligands: synthesis, structures, DFT investigations, and magnetic properties

Two complexes {[Co(II)(phen)(3)][Co(III)(phen)(CN)(4)](2)}·phen·11H(2)O (1) and [Co(II)(μ-CN)(2)(Co(III))(2)(phen)(4)(CN)(6)]·C(2)H(5)OH·2H(2)O (2) were synthesized with identical starting materials but with a different order of addition. Their crystal structures, spectroscopic analysis, DFT calculations, and investigations of their magnetic properties are reported herein. The X-ray diffraction studies reveal that complex 1 mainly consists of discrete [Co(II)(phen)(3)](2+) cations and [Co(III)(phen)(CN)(4)](-) anions, while complex 2 is dominantly comprised of discrete neutral V-shaped trinuclear units [Co(II)(μ-CN)(2)(Co(III))(2)(phen)(4)(CN)(6)]. The first low-spin Co(II) fragment with homoleptic 1,10-phenanthroline ligands in 1 is observed at room temperature, owing to charge transfer from the neighboring anion via adventitious contacts and anion-π interactions. This is verified by structures, detailed theoretical analyses concerning frontier molecular orbital energy differences and Mulliken charge variations of the N atoms within the Co(II)N(6) sphere, and magnetism. Meanwhile, these kinds of supramolecular interactions are not found in complex 2, so it shows the ordinary magnetic behavior of the high-spin Co(II) ion. Our investigations highlight that for quantitative comprehension of spin-state energetic ordering in transition metal complexes, the supramolecular interactions must be taken into account in addition to classical ligand field theory. Moreover, we find that the [Co(II)(phen)(3)](2+) dication is sensitive to its surroundings in the solid state, which is beneficial for magnetic adjustment for the further synthesis of tunable molecular magnets and spin crossover systems.     

Double-stranded helices and molecular zippers assembled from single-stranded coordination polymers directed by supramolecular interactions

Using three nonlinear dicarboxylates, isophthalate (ipa), 4,4'-oxybis(benzoate) (oba), and ethylenedi(4-oxybenzoate) (eoba), we have prepared five neutral infinite copper(II) dicarboxylate coordination polymers containing lateral aromatic chelate ligands, namely [Cu(ipa)(2,2'-bpy)]n.2nH2O (1), [Cu2(ipa)2(phen)2H2O]n (2), [Cu(oba)(phen)]n (3), [Cu(oba)(2,2'-bpy)]n (4), and [Cu(eoba)(phen)]n (5; 2,2'-bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) by hydrothermal synthesis. X-ray single-crystal structural analyses of these complexes reveal that the nonlinear flexible or V-shaped dicarboxylates can induce the helicity or flexuousity of the polymeric chains and aromatic chelate ligands are important in providing potential supramolecular recognition sites for pi-pi aromatic stacking interactions. An appropriate combination of the bridging dicarboxylate and aromatic chelate can induce a pair of single-stranded helical or flexuous chains to generate a double-stranded helix or molecular zipper through supramolecular interactions, respectively.     

Effect of Reaction Conditions on the Assembly,Structures and Fluorescent Sensing Behaviors of Cd(Ⅱ) Metal-organic Complexes

Three Cd(Ⅱ) metal-organic complexes, namely[Cd(phen)₂Cl₂](1),[Cd(phen)Cl₂](2) and[Cd(phen)(cam)]·H₂O(3)(phen=1,10-phenanthroline, H₂cam=camphoric acid), were hydrothermally synthesized using Cd²⁺, phen and H₂cam as raw materials under different conditions of pH values, reaction temperatures or reactant ratios. The prepared complexes were structurally characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the results show that complex 1 is a 2D supramolecular complex, which consists of[Cd(phen)₂Cl₂] mononuclear subunits, while complex 2 shows a 1D chain structure, in which Cd(Ⅱ) ions are connected by chloride(Cl^-) bridges, with phen hanging on both sides of the chain. No cam anions have been observed in the structures of complexes 1 and 2. In complex 3, cam connects Cd(Ⅱ) ions to construct a 2D network, in which phen acts as terminal ligands. The adjacent 1D chains for complex 2 and the adjacent 2D layers for complex 3 are further linked by hydrogen bonding interactions or π-π intermolecular interactions to form 3D supramolecular networks, respectively. The effects of reaction conditions on the assembly and structures of the complexes have been discussed. The fluorescent and photocatalytic properties of complexes 1-3 and the fluorescent sensing behaviors of complexes 2 and 3 have also been investigated.     

Two Zinc Architectures: A Mononuclear Complex and a 2D Wave-like Organic-inorganic Hybrid Layer

Self-assembly of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and 2,3,5,6-tetrabromoterephthalic acid(H2TBTA) gave rise to two new zinc metal-organic frameworks,Zn(HTBTA)2(phen)2·H2O(1) and Zn(TBTA)1/2(μ2-OH)(H2O)·0.25EtOH(2).Complex 1 is a mononuclear molecule.The hydrogen bonding interactions further connect the mononuclear molecules to generate a 2D supramolecular architecture.Complex 2 is a 2D organic-inorganic hybrid layer framework constructed from 1D rod-shaped secondary building units.     

Insight into the SBU condensation in mg coordination and supramolecular frameworks: a combined experimental and theoretical study

This work is to emphasize the influence of the synthetic procedures in the isolation of different coordination polymers that coexist under hydro-/solvothermal conditions. An experimental and theoretical study in the Mg(2+):4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis(benzoic acid):1,10-phenantroline system has been carried out. Computational studies have determined the relative energies for those compounds that coexist under certain hydrothermal conditions, and have helped to identify the driving forces for the formation of the different phases. The five new compounds belong to five different structural types: AEPF-14, which presents two polymorphs (α- and β-) ([Mg(H(2)O)(4)(phen)(2)]L), AEPF-15 ([Mg(HL)(2)(phen)]) and AEPF-16 ([Mg(H(2)O)(2)(L)(phen)]) are both 1D MOFs (AEPF-16 with a helical structure), and AEPF-17 ([Mg(H(2)O)(L)(phen)]) with a 2D structure. Hydrogen bond interactions found in the five compounds have been taken into account to study the topology of their supramolecular nets. Finally, dehydration studies performed on AEPF-14 (α- and β-) and AEPF-16 have shown that the topological type of their supramolecular networks determines the structural changes that take place during the dehydration processes of these Mg compounds.

Syntheses,Structures, and Properties of Five Coordination Polymers Involving Phthalic Acid

Five new coordination polymers Cu(phen)(H2O)(phth)·CH3OH(1), [Cu(2,2'-bipy)(H2O)](phth)·3.5H2O(2), Zn(phen)(phth)(H2O)·1.125H2O(3) and [M(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)2](phth)·2H2O[M=Zn(4), Mn(5)](H2phth=phthalic acid, bipy=bipyridine, phen=1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized from the amino acid derivatives(phthalyl-l- valine, H2L) and structurally characterized. H2L was hydrolyzed into phth2– group during the reaction, but the strucure feature was different from that of the complex directly synthesized from H2phth in the reported literature, revealing that H2L played an important role in composing the novel compounds. Compounds 1, 2 and 3 are all 1D chains, but the differences are that compound 1 is further hydrogen-bonded into 2D networks, and compound 2 is further extended into 3D supramolecular network through π-π stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions. However, compound 3 is a 1D helix chain structure and further links into 2D networks through π-π stacking. Compounds 4 and 5 are isostructural and exhibit the same 2D layers, which are further connected by hydrogen-bonding interactions to form 3D supramolecular network. Antiferromagnetic superexchange was observed for compounds 1, 2 and 5.

Their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by infrared spectra (IR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), elemental analyses and thermogravimetric (TG) analyses. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit similar 1D left-handed helical chains, which are further extended into 3D supramolecular structures through O-H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions, respectively. Compound 3 shows a 2D double-layer architecture containing helical chains. Compound 4 features two types of 2D undulated sheets with helical chains, which are stacked in an ABAB fashion along the c direction. Compound 5 possesses a 1D double chain ribbon structure containing unusual meso-helical chains, which is linked by π-π interactions into a 2D supramolecular layer. These layers are further extended by hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a 3D supramolecular assembly. Compounds 6 and 7 are isostructural and exhibit 2D (4(4))-sql networks with helical chains. Neighboring sheets are further linked by C-H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions to generate 3D supramolecular architectures. Compounds 8-10 are isostructural and display 3D 3-fold interpenetrating diamond frameworks with helical chains. The effects of coordination modes of L anions, metal ions and N-donor ligands on the structures of the coordination polymers have been discussed. The luminescent properties of 3, 4 and 6-10 have also been investigated in detail.     

Two 3-D supramolecular architecture based on the linkages of Co(II) complexes and lattice water molecules

Two new 3-D supramolecular compounds [Co(phen)(tdc)(H₂O)₃]·5H₂O (1) and [Co(phen)(Htdc)(H₂O)₃]·(Htdc)·2H₂O (2, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, H₂tdc = thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate) have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. In 1, the neutral [Co(phen)(tdc)(H₂O)₃] complexes behave as pillars to join the water layers to make an overall 3-D supramolecular architecture by H-bond interactions. In 2, similar 2-D water layer is not observed, which could be due to one uncoordinated Htdc ligand instead of three lattice water molecules of 1. The thermal stabilities of 1 and 2 were investigated by thermogravimetric measurements.     

Towards tuning the packing and entanglement of zigzag coordination chains by terminal ligands

Solvothermal reactions of trans-stilbene-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid (H(2)STDC) and zinc(ii) acetate in the presence of systematically varied terminal ligands afforded a series of supramolecular architectures with formula [Zn(STDC)(py)(2)].py (1), [Zn(STDC)(bipy)(H(2)O)].0.5py.H(2)O (2), [Zn(STDC)(biql)] (3), [Zn(STDC)(phen)].solv (solv = DMSO, 4a; DMF, 4b), where py = pyridine, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, biql = 2,2'-biquinoline, phen = 1,10-phenathroline. X-Ray analyses revealed that all the compounds consist of infinite 1D zigzag polymer chains. Investigations based on intermolecular interactions illustrate that the chelate terminal ligands play a critical role in determining the packing/entangling modes of the chains and the porosity of the final three-dimensional architectures. In compounds 1 and 2, the weak hydrogen bonding and/or pi-pi stacking interactions assemble the parallel chains into diamond nets with four- and two-fold interpenetration, respectively. In compound 3, the hydrogen bonding and pi-pi stacking interactions collaborate to arrange the chains in two different directions, generating a 3D supramolecular architecture with high catenation. The most interesting packing occurs in 4. Extensive pi-pi stacking interactions involving the terminal and bridging ligands arrange the chains in four different directions, and the chains are hierarchically entangled to produce an unprecedented 3D microporous framework with high stability. Based on comparative investigations, the effects of the terminal and bridging ligands on the packing of zigzag chains have been discussed. The reversible guest inclusion properties of 2 and 4 have also been demonstrated.
