Self-assembly of 1-D and 3-D transition-metal coordination polymers based on 4-(1H-l,3-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine 1-oxide

Three metal-organic coordination polymers based on 4-(1H-l,3-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine 1-oxide (BImPyO) with the molecular structures [Cu₂(C₁₂H₈N₃O)₂]_n (1), [Cu(C₁₂H₈N₃O)]_n (2), and [Zn(C₁₂H₈N₃O)Cl]_n (3) were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions.

A luminescent cadmium(II) metal-organic framework, [Cd(tppa)₂ (bpdc)₂]_n (1) (tppa?=?tri(4-pyridylphenyl)amine, bpdc =4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid), has been solvothermally synthesized by using Cd(NO₃)₂·4H₂O and a mixture of tppa and bpdc. Single crystal X-ray analysis reveals that 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system and Pbcn space group. Its overall structure is a twofold interpenetrated framework, and it shows a porosity of 31.8% based on a calculation by PLATON and a 4-c type topological network with the point symbol of {6^5.8}. In addition, 1 may be exploited as WLED due to its ability to give off yellow light under ultraviolet excitation.
