Syntheses,crystal structures,and fluorescent properties of 2-D Cd(II) complexes based on 2-(1H-imidazol-1-methyl)-1H-benzimidazole and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate ligands

Two new complexes, {[Cd(btec)_0.5(imb)(CH₃OH)]·CH₃OH}_n (1) and {[Cd(btec)_0.5(H₂btec)]·(H₂imb)·2H₂O}_n (2) (H₄btec = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, imb = 2-(1H-imidazol-1-methyl)-1H-benzimidazole), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both complexes exhibit 2-D network structures. In 1, each 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate links four Cd²⁺ cations, and each Cd²⁺ cation connects two 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylates, to form a 2-D layer, with the imb ligands located on each side of the 2-D layer. In 2, there are two kinds of 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylates in the structure. One kind is completely deprotonated and acts as hexadentate linkers, leading to a 2-D layer. The other kind is only doubly deprotonated and decorates each side of the 2-D layer. In 2, imb is protonated, forming (H₂imb)²⁺ cations that only cocrystallize with the negatively charged Cd coordination polymer ({[Cd(btec)_0.5(H₂btec)]^2?}_n), but does not coordinate to the Cd²⁺ cations. IR spectra, PXRD patterns, thermogravimetric analyses, and fluorescent properties of 1 and 2 have also been determined.

Two complexes formulated as {[Cd(btec)_0.5(tmb)H₂O]·4H₂O}_n (1) and {[Cd(H₂btec)(tmb)(H₂O)]·2H₂O}_n (2) (H₄btec?=?1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, tmb?=?2-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-benzimidazole) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that 1 has a 2-D layer structure in which tmb bridges and all of the carboxylates from 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate chelate. In 2 Cd(II) ions are bridged by monodentate carboxylates leading to a 2-D layer structure with all tmb ligands coordinated monodentate to Cd(II), hanging at two sides of the layers. Complexes 1 and 2 are further extended to 3-D supramolecular structures by hydrogen bonding interactions. Luminescent properties have been investigated in the solid state at room temperature.

Two 1-D and 3-D Ag(I) complexes involving 2-(pyridin-4-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (H₃PIDC) have been characterized by infrared spectrum, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. [Ag₂(HPIDC)]_n (1), synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, gave a 3-D framework; [Ag₂(HPIDC)(MBI)]_n (2) (MBI?=?2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole), with MBI as the second ligand, gave a 1-D zigzag chain and further formed a 3-D supramolecular structure through π···π interactions. The most interesting structural features of these complexes are the presence of C–H···Ag hydrogen bonding interactions and Ag···C weak interactions between the Ag centers and H₃PIDC. Luminescence indicates that 2 has significantly stronger fluorescent emissions than 1 in the solid state at room temperature.

In 1, the HDCImPyO^2? generated a 1-D chain by adopting a μ₂-kN, O : kN′, O′ coordination mode to bridge two Co(II) ions in two bis-N,O-chelating modes. In 2, the HDCImPyO^2? adopted a μ₃-kN, O : kO′, O′′ : O′′′ coordination mode to bridge two crystallographically independent Mn(II) ions, forming a 2-D hcb network with {6³} topology. In 3, by adopting μ₄-kN, O : kO′, O′′ : kN′′, O′′′ : O′′′′ coordination, DCImPyO^3? bridged three crystallographically independent Cu(II) ions to form a 3-D framework having the stb topology.

Cationic Cd(II) metal − organic framework based on tetrakis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane

Abstract

Solvothermal reaction of a multidentate ligand (tetrakis[4-(1-triazolyl)phenyl]-methane (ttpm)), with Cd(NO₃)₂ afforded a cationic Cd(II) coordination polymer {[Cd(ttpm)·DMSO]·2NO₃}_n. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses showed that ttpm belonged to the tetragonal space group I4₁/a, and 1 was a 2-D (4,4) network. 1-D channels along the c direction exist in the 3D stacking map to accommodate the charge-balancing NO₃^? anions. N₂ adsorption/desorption experiments showed the framework had a BET surface area of 11.36?m²·g^?1. Compared with luminescence of ttpm, 1 showed red-shifted luminescence spectra with higher intensity from the more rigid arrangement of the π systems.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and luminescence of a two-dimensional interpenetrating supermolecular complex {[Cd(phen)2(sube)] · 2H2O} n

A coordination polymer {[Cd(phen)₂(sube)]·2H₂O} _n (1) (phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline; H₂sube?=?suberic acid) has been synthesized by reaction of phen and suberic acid with cadmium(II). Elemental analysis, thermal analyses, IR spectra and X-ray crystal structure analysis were carried out to determine the composition and crystal structure of 1. The Cd(II) is six-coordinate in a distorted octahedral configuration. A 2-D interpenetrating framework supramolecular structure was formed by π–π stacking interaction between phen of neighboring chains. Moreover, 1 displayed luminescent properties in the blue range at room temperature.     

Synthesis,structure, and characterizations of a new antiferromagnetic manganese(II) dichloro-bridged 1-D polymer decorated by 5-amino-1-H-tetrazole

[Mn(5-ATZ)₂Cl₂]_n (1) (5-ATZ – 5-amino-1-H-tetrazole) was synthesized from the reaction of 5-ATZ and manganese(II) chloride and isolated by solution evaporation at room temperature. 1 was characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray crystallography, infrared, and EPR spectroscopy as well as magnetic measurements. In the crystal structure, [Mn(5-ATZ)₂Cl₂] units are linked by double μ₂-bridging chlorides to form 1-D chains parallel to the a-axis. The Mn sphere approximates to octahedral with the metal coordinated by four chlorides in the equatorial plane and two 5-ATZ molecules, bound through their ring nitrogens, in axial positions. The intramolecular N–H···Cl hydrogen bond between the 5-ATZ amino group and the adjacent coordinated Cl^? stabilizes the chain. N–H···N hydrogen bonds between adjacent chains form a 3-D supramolecular framework. No hyperfine coupling to the Mn nuclei (I = 5/2) is observed in the powdered EPR spectrum of 1 at 77 K. The frozen solution EPR spectrum provides evidence of the mononuclearity of 1 in methanol. The magnetic properties have been analyzed using the Hamiltonian H = –J∑S_i · S_i+1 with J = ?1.38(3) cm^?1 and g = 2.00(1). A small value of the exchange parameter is typical for 1-D six-coordinate bis(μ₂-chloro) Mn(II) polymers.

The diverse coordination modes of H₃DCImPyO ligands have afforded the three compounds. Complexes 1 and 2 are isomers and the Ln (Ln?=?Eu or Tb) atoms have coordination number eight with a distorted square prism geometry. The partly deprotonated H₂DCImPyO^? ligands display three different coordination modes to link Ln (Ln?=?Tb or Eu) into 1-D double chains. In 3, Cd(II) lies on an inversion center and displays a slightly distorted octahedral coordination. All three compounds exhibit strong fluorescent emissions in the solid state at room temperature.
