Two Cadmium（Ⅱ） Coordination Polymers from Flexible Bis（imidazolyl） Ligands

The hydrothermal reaction of 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)butane (bimb) and 1,4-bis(2- methylimidazol-1′-yl)butane (bmib) with CdBr2-4H2O gave rise to two coordination polymers, [Cd(bimb)2Br2]n (1) and [Cd(bmib)Br2]n (2), respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/n and the orthorhombic space group Pccn, respectively. In 1, bimb adopts an anti-anti-anti conformation and bridges adjacent Cd(II) to form a two-dimensional (2D) network containing rhombohedral rings. The 2D layers are arranged in an offset ABCABC sequence to fill large void in the rhombohedral rings. In 2, bmib also exhibits an anti-anti-anti conformation, but it links neighboring Cd(II) into a one-dimensional (1D) chain. Br- in 1 and 2 serves as a monodentate ligand to balance charge.     

Syntheses and Structures of Two Isomorphous Metal-organic Coordination Complexes Based on 4-Pyrimidin-5-ylbenzoic Acid

The reactions of 4-pyrimidin-5-ylbenzoic acid （HL） with Co（NO3）2·6H2O and Ni（NO3）2·6H2O gave rise to two isomorphous mononuclear coordination complexes, namely, [CoL2（H2O）4] （1） and [NiL2（H2O）4] （2）. Both compounds were characterized by IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray crystallographic analyses reveal that they crystallize in monoclinic, space group P21/n. In the crystal structures of these two complexes, only one nitrogen atom of L coordinates to the metal center, and neither carboxylate group nor another nitrogen atom of L links to Co（Ⅱ） or Ni（Ⅱ）. 2D Layers with significant hydrogen bonds can be observed, and they are further linked by L to form a 3D supramolecular network. Nitrogen atoms are not involved in forming hydrogen bonds, but carboxylic groups of the ligands play an important role in the configuration of this hydrogen-bond layer.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1D Cd-amine Coordination Polymer and Its Luminescent Properties

A novel one dimension（1D） cadmium coordination polymer {[Cd（mpda）3]·2（NO3）}n（1） was synthesized via refluxing a mixture of tetradentate Schiff base ligand N,N＇-bis（2-pyridinylethylidene）phenylene-1,3-diamine（L） and Cd（NO3）2 in acetonitrile, whose structure was characterized by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and proton nuclear magnetic resonance（1H NMR）. Center metal Cd（II） ion is six-coordinated by six nitrogen atoms from six different m-phenylenediamine（mpda）, giving rise to a [CdN6] octahe- dral coordination environment. The two adjacent cadmium centers are linked by three mpda molecules leading to the construction of 1D chain structure. The crystal structure is stabilized by N-H…O hydrogen bonds to form three-dimension supramolecule. Compound 1 exhibits intense yellow luminescence in solid state at 298 K（λem=554 nm）, which shows a blue shift at 77 K（ca. 147 nm）. Additionally, fluorescence characteristics of compound 1 were investigated in different solvents（polarity： DMSO〉CH3CN〉CH3OH〉CHC13〉toluene） at 298 and 77 K. The results show that the emission peak of compound 1 in solvent exhibits a slight bathochromic shift. However, the emission peaks of compound 1 in CH3OH and CHC13 are red shift compared with that in CH3CN. It is revealed that the lumi- nescence behavior of compound 1 depends on not only the polarity of solvent but also the hydrogen bonding proper- ties between solvent and solute. In addition, the emission peak of compound 1 in solution shows a red shift obviously at 77 K than that at 298 K（ca. 144-159 nm）, with the fluorescence lifetime increased at 77 K. The lifetime in DMSO at 77 K（r=12.470μs） was the longest one. The quantum yield of compoud 1 increases with increasing the polarity of solvent within a range of 1.8%-8.3 %.

It is revealed that complexes 1～3 have dinuclear structures, while 4 possesses a one-dimensional （1-D） chain structure, which extends in two orthogonal orientations. In 1～4, the coordination numbers of Cu（Ⅱ） centers range from four to six, which may be attributed to the different geometries and coordination abilities of the ligands and anions. The L^1 ligand in complexes 1 and 2 adopts a tridentate di-chelating coordination mode, whereas ligand HL^2 in complexes 3 and 4 has a bidentate bridging coordination mode. The different coordination modes of these two ligands may be explained by the different charges of nitrogen donor atoms in the benzotriazole ring, which has been investigated by density functional theory （DFT） calculations.
