Synthesis of Novel Bis(β‐cyclodextrin)s Linked with Glycol and Their Inclusion Complexation with Organic Dyes

Three novel bis(β‐cyclodextrin (CD))s with flexible glycol linkers, i.e., ethylene glycol‐bridged bis(6‐hydroxy‐6‐deoxy‐β‐CD) ( 2 ), diethylene glycol‐bridged bis(6‐hydroxy‐6‐deoxy‐β‐CD) ( 3 ), and triethylene glycol‐bridged bis(6‐hydroxy‐6‐deoxy‐β‐CD) ( 4 ) have been synthesized by the reaction of mono[6‐O‐(p‐toluenesulfonyl)]‐β‐CD with corresponding materials. The inclusion complexation behaviors of these compounds 2 – 4 with organic dyes; that is, acridine red (=N‐[(3Z)‐6‐(methylamino)‐3H‐xanthen‐3‐ylidene]methanaminium chloride; AR), neutral red (=N⁸,N⁸,3‐trimethylphenazine‐2,8‐diamine hydrochloride; NR), ammonium 8‐anilinonaphthalene‐1‐sulfonate (ANS), sodium 6‐(p‐toluidinyl)‐naphthalene‐2‐sulfonate (TNS), rhodamine B (RhB) and brilliant green (=N‐(4‐{[4‐(diethylamino)cyclohexa‐2,5‐dien‐1‐yl](phenyl)methyl}cyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐ylidene)‐N‐ethyl‐ethanaminium hydrogen sulfate; BG), have been investigated at 25° in phosphate buffer (pH 7.20) by ultraviolet, fluorescence, and 2D‐NMR spectroscopy. The results indicate that the two linked CD units may cooperatively bind a guest, and the molecular binding ability toward dye guests, especially bent ANS, T‐shaped RhB, and triangular BG, can be extended. This cooperative binding mode is confirmed by Job's experiments and 2D‐NMR investigations. Furthermore, the complex stability depends greatly on the linker length of these glycol‐bridged bis(β‐CD)s and the size and shape of guest. The higher binding ability and selectivity of dye molecules by bis(β‐CD)s 2 – 4 are discussed from the viewpoint of size/shape‐fit concept and multiple recognition mechanism.     

Preparation and physical properties of poly(4,4′‐diamino‐3′‐carbamoylbenzanilide terephthalamide) and poly(4,4′‐diamino‐3′‐carbamoylbenzanilide isophthalamide) films

To prepare thermally stable and high‐performance polymeric films, new solvent‐soluble aromatic polyamides with a carbamoyl pendant group, namely poly(4,4′‐diamino‐3′‐carbamoylbenzanilide terephthalamide) (p‐PDCBTA) and poly(4,4′‐diamino‐3′‐carbamoylbenzanilide isophthalamide) (m‐PDCBTA), were synthesized. The polymers were cyclized at around 200 to 350 °C to form quinazolone and benzoxazinone units along the polymer backbone. The decomposition onset temperatures of the cyclized m‐ and p‐PDCBTAs were 457 and 524 °C, respectively, lower than that of poly(p‐phenylene terephthalamide) (566 °C). For the p‐PDCBTA film drawn by 40% and heat‐treated, the tensile strength and Young's modulus were 421 MPa and 16.4 GPa, respectively. The film cyclized at 350 °C showed a storage modulus (E′) of 1 × 10¹¹ dyne/cm² (10 GPa) over the temperature range of room temperature to 400 °C. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Host-Guest Interactions between N,N＇-Bis（ferrocenylmethyl- ene）-Diaminobutane and Benzenetetracarboxylic Dianhydride Bridged Bis（β-cyclodextrin）s

A novel water soluble ditopic guest, the quaternary ammonium salt of N,N＇-bis（ferrocenylmethylene）-diaminobutane （1）, and a known water soluble ditopic host, benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride bridged bis（β-cyclodextrin）s （2）, have been synthesized and characterized. ^1H NMR spectra and cyclic voltammogram （CV） studies revealed the host-guest interactions between them in aqueous solution. The supramolecular interaction also exists in solid state as confirmed by the studies of the solid samples, which were obtained by frozen-drying the solution sampies, using FTIR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） techniques. TEM measurement demonstrated that wire-shaped supramolecular aggregates exist in the aqueous solution of the two compounds. The lengths of the aggregates could reach micrometers.     

Synthesis of α,α′‐Bis(Substituted Benzylidene)Cycloalkanones Catalyzed by Amino‐Functionalized Ionic Liquid

Condensation of aromatic aldehydes with cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone using amino‐functionalized ionic liquid, 1‐aminoethyl‐3‐methyl tetrafluoroborate as solvent and catalyst was successfully performed for preparation of α,α′‐bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones. The catalyst can be recovered and reused for at least three times without apparently lose of activity. The process is simple, environmentally benign and proceeds in excellent yields.     

Synthesen und Strukturen von Bis(4,4′‐t‐butyl‐2,2′‐bipyridin)‐Ruthenium(II)‐Komplexen mit funktionellen Derivaten des Tetramethyl‐bibenzimidazols

Syntheses and Structures of Bis(4,4′‐t‐butyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine) Ruthenium(II) Complexes with functional Derivatives of Tetramethyl‐bibenzimidazole [(tbbpy)₂RuCl₂] reacts with dinitro‐tetramethylbibenzimidazole ( A ) in DMF to form the complex [(tbbpy)₂Ru( A )](PF₆)₂ ( 1a ) (tbbpy: bis(4,4′‐t‐butyl)‐2,2′bipyridine). Exchange of the two PF₆^? anions by a mixture of tetrafluor‐terephthalat/tetrafluor‐terephthalic acid results in the formation of 1b in which an extended hydrogen‐bonded network is formed. According to the ¹H NMR spectra and X‐ray analyses of both 1a and 1b , the two nitro groups of the bibenzimidazole ligand are situated at the periphery of the complex in cis position to each other. Reduction of the nitro groups in 1a with SnCl₂/HCl results in the corresponding diamino complex 2 which is a useful starting product for further functionalization reactions. Substitution of the two amino groups in 2 by bromide or iodide via Sandmeyer reaction results in the crystalline complexes [(tbbpy)₂Ru( C )](PF₆)₂ and [(tbbpy)₂Ru( D )](PF₆)₂ ( C : dibromo‐tetrabibenzimidazole, D : diiodo‐tetrabibenzimidazole). Furthermore, 2 readily reacts with 4‐t‐butyl‐salicylaldehyde or pyridine‐2‐carbaldehyde under formation of the corresponding Schiff base Ru^II complexes 5 and 6 . ¹H NMR spectra show that the substituents (NH₂, Br, I, azomethines) in 2 ‐ 6 are also situated in peripheral positions, cis to each other. The solid state structure of both 2 , and 3 , determined by X‐ray analyses confirm this structure. In addition, the X‐ray diffraction analyses of single crystals of the complexes [(tri‐t‐butyl‐terpy)(Cl)Ru( A )] ( 7 ) and [( A )PtCl₂] ( 8 ) display also that the nitro groups in these complexes are in a cis‐arrangement.     

Molecular Recognition of Bridged Bis （β－cyclodextrin） s Linked by Phenylenediseleno Tether on the Primary or Secondary Side with Fluorescent Dyes

A novel β‐cyclodextrin dimer, 2, 2′‐o‐phenylenediseleno‐bridged bis (β‐cyclodextrin) (2), has been synthesized by reaction of mono‐[2‐O‐(p‐tolylsulfonyl)]‐β‐cyclodextrin and poly(o‐phenylenediselenide). The complexation stability constants (K₂) and Gibbs free energy changes (‐ΔG°) of dimer 2 with four fluorescence dyes, that is, ammonium 8‐anilino‐1‐naphthalenesulfonate (ANS), sodium 6‐(p‐toluidino)‐2‐naphthalenesulfonate (TNS), Acridine Red (AR) and Rhodamine B (RhB) have been determined in aqueous phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7.2, 0.1 mol‐L^?1) at 25 °C by means of fluorescence spectroscopy. Using the present results and the previously reported corresponding data of β‐cyclodextrin (1) and 6, 6′‐o‐phenylenediseleno‐bridged bis (β‐cyclodextrin) (3), binding ability and molecular selectivity are compared, indicating that the bis (β‐cyclodextrin)s 2 and 3 possess much higher binding ability toward these dye molecules than parent β‐cyclodextrin 1, but the complex stability constant for 2 linked from the primary side is larger than that of 3 linked from the secondary side, which is attributed to the more effective cooperative binding of two hydrophobic cavities of host 3 and the size/shape‐fit relationship between host and guest. The binding constant (K₂,) upon inclusion complexation of host 3 and AR is enhanced by factor of 27.3 as compared with that of 1. The 2D ¹H NOESY spectrum of host 2 and RhB is performed to confirm the binding mode and explain the relative weak binding ability of 2.     

The kinetics of polycondensation of α,α′‐dichloro‐p‐xylene with 4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenol using benzyltriethylammonium chloride as a phase‐transfer catalyst

The phase‐transfer catalyzed polycondensation of α,α′‐dichloro‐p‐xylene with 4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenol was carried out using benzylethylammonium chloride in a two‐phase system of an aqueous alkaline solution and benzene at 60 °C under nitrogen atmosphere. The rate of polycondensation was expressed as the combined terms of quaternary onium cation and 4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenolate anion rather than the feed concentration of catalyst and 4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenol. The measured concentrations of hydroxide and chloride anion in the aqueous solution and α,α′‐dichloro‐p‐xylene in the organic phase were used to obtain the reaction rate constant with the integral method, and to analyze the polycondensation mechanism with a cyclic phase‐transfer initiation step in the heterogeneous liquid–liquid system. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Chiral separation of cathinone derivatives using β‐cyclodextrin‐assisted capillary electrophoresis–Comparison of four different β‐cyclodextrin derivatives used as chiral selectors

In the past decade, more than 100 different cathinone derivatives slopped over entire Europe due to their enormous popularity. Generally, these novel psychoactive substances are easily available via the internet. This fact leads to various social problems, since cathinones are substances with consciousness‐changing effects and are mainly misused for recreational matters by their consumers. Cathinones possess a chiral center including two enantiomeric forms with potentially different pharmacological behavior. This fact makes analytical method development regarding their chiral separation indispensable. In this study, a chiral capillary zone electrophoresis method for the enantioseparation of 61 cathinone and pyrovalerone derivatives was developed by means of four different β‐cyclodextrin derivatives. As chiral selectors, native β‐cyclodextrin as well as three of its derivatives namely acetyl‐β‐cyclodextrin, 2‐hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin, and carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin were used. The cathinone and pyrovalerone derivatives were either purchased in internet stores or seized by police. As a result, overall 58 of 61 studied substances were partially or baseline separated by at least one of the four chiral selectors using 10 mM of β‐cyclodextrin derivative in a 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 2.5). Furthermore, the method was found to be suitable for simultaneous enantioseparations, for enantiomeric purity checks and to differentiate between positional isomers. Moreover, an intra‐ and an interday validation was performed successfully for each chiral selector to prove the robustness of the method.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structures and Fluorescent Properties of Two 2,2′‐Biquinoline‐4,4′‐dicarboxylate‐based Cadmium(II) and Cobalt(II) Complexes

Two metal‐organic coordination polymers with one‐dimensional infinite chain motif, [Cd(bqdc)(phen)₂]_n ( 1 ) and [Co(bqdc)(phen)(H₂O)₂]_n ( 2 ) (H₂bqdc = 2,2′‐biquinoline‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline), have been synthesized under similar solv/hydrothermal conditions and fully structural characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. Their thermal stability and photoluminescence properties were further investigated by TG‐DTA and fluorescence spectra. In both complexes, the adjacent metal ions (Cd^II for 1 and Co^II for 2 ) are linked together by dicarboxylate groups of bqdc dianions in chelating bidentate and monodentate modes, respectively, generating a zigzag chain for 1 and linear chain for 2 . The relatively higher thermal stability up to 324 °C for 1 and strong fluorescence emissions jointly suggest that they are good candidates for luminescent materials.     

Preparation and characterization of poly(ethylene oxide)‐loaded hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin nanofibers

Hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (HP‐β‐CD) is a modified β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) derivative, which is toxicologically harmless to mammals and other animals. HP‐β‐CD is electrospun from an aqueous solution by blending with a non‐toxic, biocompatible, synthetic polymer poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). Aqueous solutions containing different HP‐β‐CD/PEO blends (50:50–80:20) with variable concentrations (4 wt%–12 wt%) were used. Scanning electron microscope was used to investigate the morphology of the fibers, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis confirmed the presence of HP‐β‐CD in the fiber. Uniform nanofibers with an average diameter of 264, 244, and 236 nm were obtained from 8 wt% solution of 50:50, 60:40, and 70:30 HP‐β‐CD/PEO, respectively. The average diameter of the fiber was decreased with increasing of HP‐β‐CD/PEO ratio. However, a higher proportion of HP‐β‐CD in the spinning solution increased beads in the fibers. The polymer concentration had no significant effect on the fiber diameter. The most uniform fibers with the narrowest diameter distribution were obtained from the 8 wt% of 50:50 solution.

Synthesis of new optically active α,α′,β‐trisubstituted‐β‐lactones as monomers for stereoregular biopolyesters

Various optically active (4R)‐alkyloxycarbonyl‐3,3‐dialkyl‐2‐oxetanones as monomers were synthesized from L‐(S)‐malic acid in six steps to prepare a new family of stereopolyesters for biomedical applications. The synthesis began with an esterification followed of a dialkylation in the aim to introduce hydrophobic groups as methyl or reactive group as allyl. Then, a saponification has permitted to obtain the corresponding diacids that reacted with appropriate alcohols to furnish different monoesters. The last and most important step was activation of hydroxyl group of monoesters with the asymmetric carbon configuration inversion according to the Mitsunobu reaction. Thus, this reaction has provided lactones from monoesters with 100% enantiomeric excess which was confirmed by ¹H NMR and by the synthesis of corresponding isotactic and semicrystalline homopolyesters. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A zinc(II) metal–organic framework with a novel topology formed from 4,4′,4′′‐nitrilotribenzoate and 4,4′‐bipyridine ligands

A metal–organic framework with a novel topology, poly[sesqui(μ₂‐4,4′‐bipyridine)bis(dimethylformamide)bis(μ₄‐4,4′,4′′‐nitrilotribenzoato)trizinc(II)], [Zn₃(C₂₁H₁₂NO₆)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)_1.5(C₃H₇NO)₂]_n, was obtained by the solvothermal method using 4,4′,4′′‐nitrilotribenzoic acid and 4,4′‐bipyridine (bipy). The structure, determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis, possesses three kinds of crystallographically independent Zn^II cations, as well as binuclear Zn₂(COO)₄(bipy)₂ paddle‐wheel clusters, and can be reduced to a novel topology of a (3,3,6)‐connected 3‐nodal net, with the Schläfli symbol {5.6²}₄{5².6}₄{5⁸.8⁷} according to the topological analysis.     

Blends of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate)/4,4′‐thiodiphenol and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate)/ 4,4′‐thiodiphenol: Specific interaction and properties

The specific interaction between poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] and 4,4′‐thiodiphenol (TDP) and between poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and TDP was investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Interassociated hydrogen bonds were found between the polyester chains and the TDP molecules in the binary blends. The fractions of associated carbonyl groups, F_b 's, in the blends first increased and then decreased as the TDP content increased. The thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of P(3HB)–TDP and PHBV–TDP blends were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, respectively. Thermal analysis revealed that the P(3HB)–TDP blends possessed eutectic phase behavior. Furthermore, it was found that the thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of P(3HB) and PHBV were greatly modified through blending with TDP. Environmental degradability in river water was evaluated by a biochemical oxygen demand tester, and it was clarified that TDP lowered the degradation rate of P(3HB). The results suggest that TDP is effective in modifying the physical properties as well as the biodegradability of polyesters. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Three isotypic polymeric complexes with rare earth cations,but‐2‐enoate anions and 4,4′‐(ethane‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridine and 4,4′‐(ethene‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridine bridging ligands

Three isotypic rare earth complexes, catena‐poly[[aquabis(but‐2‐enoato‐κ²O,O′)yttrium(III)]‐bis(μ‐but‐2‐enoato)‐κ³O,O′:O;κ³O:O,O′‐[aquabis(but‐2‐enoato‐κ²O,O′)yttrium(III)]‐μ‐4,4′‐(ethane‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridine‐κ²N:N′], [Y₂(C₄H₅O₂)₆(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)(H₂O)₂], the gadolinium(III) analogue, [Gd₂(C₄H₅O₂)₆(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)(H₂O)₂], and the gadolinium(III) analogue with a 4,4′‐(ethene‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridine bridging ligand, [Gd₂(C₄H₅O₂)₆(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)(H₂O)₂], are one‐dimensional coordination polymers made up of centrosymmetric dinuclear [M(but‐2‐enoato)₃(H₂O)]₂ units (M = rare earth), further bridged by centrosymmetric 4,4′‐(ethane‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridine or 4,4′‐(ethene‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridine spacers into sets of chains parallel to the [20] direction. There are intra‐chain and inter‐chain hydrogen bonds in the structures, the former providing cohesion of the linear arrays and the latter promoting the formation of broad planes parallel to (010).     

Supramolecular inclusion complexes of star‐shaped poly(ε‐caprolactone) with α‐cyclodextrin

Both star‐shaped poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) having 4 arms (4sPCL) and 6 arms (6sPCL) and linear PCL having 1 arm (LPCL) and 2 arms (2LPCL) were synthesized and then investigated for inclusion complexation with α‐cyclodextrin (α‐CD). The supramolecular inclusion complexes (ICs) were in detail characterized by ¹H NMR, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, wide angle X‐ray diffraction, solid‐state carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy using cross‐polarization and magic‐angle spinning, and Fourier transform infrared, respectively. The stoichiometry (CL:CD, mol:mol) of all ICs increased with the increasing branch arm of PCL polymers, and it was in the order of α‐CD‐6sPCL1 ICs > α‐CD‐4sPCL ICs > α‐CD‐2LPCL ICs > α‐CD‐LPCL ICs. All analyses indicated that the branch arms of star‐shaped PCL polymers were included into the hydrophobic α‐CD cavities and their original crystalline properties were completely suppressed. Moreover, the ICs of star‐shaped PCL with α‐CD had a channel‐type crystalline structure similar to that formed between the linear PCL and α‐CD. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the free PCL polymers probably controlled that of the guest polymers included in the ICs. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A convenient synthesis of α,α′‐ homo‐ and α,α′‐hetero‐bifunctionalized poly(ε‐caprolactone)s by ring opening polymerization: The potentially valuable precursors for miktoarm star copolymers

Two new ring opening polymerization (ROP) initiators, namely, (3‐allyl‐2‐(allyloxy)phenyl)methanol and (3‐allyl‐2‐(prop‐2‐yn‐1‐yloxy)phenyl)methanol each containing two reactive functionalities viz. allyl, allyloxy and allyl, propargyloxy, respectively, were synthesized from 3‐allylsalicyaldehyde as a starting material. Well defined α‐allyl, α′‐allyloxy and α‐allyl, α′‐propargyloxy bifunctionalized poly(ε‐caprolactone)s with molecular weights in the range 4200–9500 and 3600–10,900 g/mol and molecular weight distributions in the range 1.16–1.18 and 1.15–1.16, respectively, were synthesized by ROP of ε‐caprolactone employing these initiators. The presence of α‐allyl, α′‐allyloxy and α‐allyl, α′‐propargyloxy functionalities on poly(ε‐caprolactone)s was confirmed by FT‐IR, ¹H, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and MALDI‐TOF analysis. The kinetic study of ROP of ε‐caprolactone with both the initiators revealed the pseudo first order kinetics with respect to ε‐caprolactone consumption and controlled behavior of polymerization reactions. The usefulness of α‐allyl, α′‐allyloxy functionalities on poly(ε‐caprolactone) was demonstrated by performing the thiol‐ene reaction with poly(ethylene glycol) thiol to obtain (mPEG)₂‐PCL miktoarm star copolymer. α‐Allyl, α′‐propargyloxy functionalities on poly(ε‐caprolactone) were utilized in orthogonal reactions i.e copper catalyzed alkyne‐azide click (CuAAC) with azido functionalized poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) followed by thiol‐ene reaction with poly(ethylene glycol) thiol to synthesize PCL‐PNIPAAm‐mPEG miktoarm star terpolymer. The preliminary characterization of A₂B and ABC miktoarm star copolymers was carried out by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Mercury(II) complexes with 4,4′‐bipyridine (4,4′‐bipy) ligand were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, and IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy. The structures of the complexes [Hg₃(4,4′‐bipy)₂(CH₃COO)₂(SCN)₄]_n ( 1 ), [Hg₅(4,4′‐bipy)₅(SCN)₁₀]_n ( 2 ), [Hg₂(4,4′‐bipy)₂(CH₃COO)₂]_n(ClO₄)_2n ( 3 ), and [Hg(4,4′‐bipy)I₂]_n ( 4 ) were determined by X‐ray crystallography. The single‐crystal X‐ray data show that 2 and 4 are one‐dimensional zigzag polymers with four‐coordinate Hg‐atoms, whereas 1 is a one‐dimensional helical chain with two four‐coordinate and one six‐coordinate Hg‐atom. Complex 3 is a two‐dimensional polymer with a five‐coordinate Hg‐atom. These results show the capacity of the Hg‐ion to act as a soft acid that is capable to form compounds with coordination numbers four, five, and six and consequently to produce different forms of coordination polymers, containing one‐ and two‐dimensional networks.

Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Fluorescence Properties of Two Transition Metal‐Organic Coordination Polymers Based on 4,4′‐Dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine

Two transition metal‐organic coordination polymers, [Mn₂(1,3‐bdc)₂(Me₂bpy)₂] · Me₂bpy ( 1 ) and [Co(4,4′‐oba)(Me₂bpy)] ( 2 ) were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, TG, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction [1,3‐H₂bdc = benzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylic acid, H₂oba = 4,4′‐oxybis(benzoic acid) Me₂bpy = 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine]. Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P2₁2₁2₁, with a = 23.371(5), b = 14.419(3), and c = 14.251(3) Å. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, with a = 7.4863(15), b = 18.272(4), c = 16.953(5) Å, and β = 107.44(3)°. The crystal structure of complex 1 is a wave‐like layer with central Mn²⁺ atoms bridged by 1,3‐bdc ligands, whereas the structure of compound 2 presents a ladder chain of hexacoordinate Co²⁺ atoms, in which the metal atoms are bridged by 4,4′‐oba ligands and decorated by Me₂bpy ligands. The two compounds are further extended into 3D supramolecular structures through π–π stacking interactions. Additionally, the compounds show intense fluorescence in solid state at room temperature.
