Three New Zn(Ⅱ) Coordination Compounds Based on the in-situ Formed Tetrazolate Ligand: Syntheses,Crystal Structures and Luminescence Properties

Reactions of 2-(2-benzoimidazolyl)acetonitrile and Na N3 with Zn SO4 or Zn Cl2 in the presence of nicotinic acid in the mixture of Et OH/H2 O afforded a mononuclear compound [Zn(L1)2](1) and a 1-D polymer [Zn(L1)Cl]n(2), respectively(L1 = 5-[(benzoimidazolyl)methyl]-1H-tetrazolate). However, in the similar condition except that imidazole was added instead of nicotinic acid, the reaction afforded a 1-D compound [Zn(L1)2]n(3) featuring triply helical chains via the π-π stacking of ligands. They are characterized by elemental analysis and IR, and their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Thermal stability of these compounds was measured by TGA and their luminescent properties were investigated at room temperature.

Syntheses,Crystal Structures and Magnetic Properties of Two New Low-dimensional Manganese (Ⅱ) Coordination Compounds

Two new low-dimensional Mn(Ⅱ) coordination compounds of Mn(H_2pimdc)_2(phen)(compound 1) and [Mn(Hpimdc)(phen)]n·nH_2O(compound 2) were synthesized, where H_3pimdc is a 2-propyl-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline.

Hydrothermal Syntheses,Crystal Structures and Characteristics of Two New Isostructural Ni(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymers

Two new isostructure nickel(Ⅱ) coordination polymers, [Ni_2(5-Me-ip)(1,2-Bie)(H_2O)_2]_n(1) and [Ni2(5-Br-ip)(1,2-Bie)(H_2O)_2]n(2)(5-Me-H2 ip = 5-methylisophthalic acid, 5-Br-H2 ip = 5-mromoisophthalic acid, 1,2-Bie = 1,2-bis(imidazole)ethane), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The result shows that complexes 1 and 2 crystallize in orthorhombic system, space group Pna21 with a = 16.3602(13), b = 10.1465(8), c = 21.8803(17) ?, V = 3632.1(5) ?3, Z = 4, D3 c = 1.525 g/cm, F(000) = 1728, R = 0.0292 and wR = 0.0668 for 6646 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)) for complex 1 and a = 16.409(3), b = 10.1625(17), c = 21.918(4) ?, V = 3654.9(11) ?3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.752 g/cm~3, F(000) = 1936, R = 0.0309 and wR = 0.0600 for 6809 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)) for complex 2. They both feature zigzag 2D layer structures, which are further staked along the a-axis through π···π and hydrogen interactions to form 3D supramolecular structures.     

Syntheses,Structures and Characteristics of Two New Cu(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymers Based on 4-tert-butyl-phthalate and Different Bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) Co-Ligands

Two new Cu(II) coordination polymers, [Cu2(tbph)2(btb)2]n(1) and {[Cu2(tbph)2-(bth)2]·H2O}n(2),(H2tbph = 4-tert-butyl-phthalic acid, btb = 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1- yl)butane, bth = 1,6-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)hexane), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Complex 1 has a 2D sql layer. Complex 2 shows a(3,4)-connected 2D sheet with a(4.64.8)(4.82) topology. The thermal behavior of the two corresponding complexes has briefly been investigated.
