The crystal structures of 1 and 2 are isostructural with very similar supramolecular structures. A one-dimen- sional zigzag double hydrogen-bonding-chain is generated by the intermolecular M-bipy …anion…bipy--M hydrogen bonding interactions between the chelating ligands of bipy and anion.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis, Structure and Photoluminescence of a 2D Lead(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer with (4,3 6) Topology Based on Pb and 1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylate Nodes

A lead(Ⅱ) coordination polymer, {[Pb2(butca)(H2O)2](H2O)2}n (1), has been synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of Pb(OH)2 and 1, 2, 3, 4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (H4butca) at 160 ℃. Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal that it crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 7.616(5), b = 7.584(4), c = 12.314(7) (A), β = 105.595(12)°, V = 685.0(7) (A)3, Z = 4,C8H14O12Pb2, Mr= 716.57, Dc=3.474 g/cm3,μ = 24.610 mm-1, F(000) = 644, the final R = 0.0381 and wR = 0.1176 for 1465 observed reflections with Ⅰ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ). The complex presents a 2D-layered structure featuring two different types of rings, and has a (4,3 6) topology based on Pb and butca 4- nodes. In solid state, complex 1 shows photoluminescence with the maximum emission intensity at 468 nm under 286 nm excitation.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [{Cd(hmbdc)(H2O)3}·2H2O]n

A novel coordination polymer [{Cd(hmbdc)(H2O)3}·2H2O]n (hmbdc=5-hydroxy- isophthalic acid) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a=9.599(3), b=18.699(5), c=7.557(2) (A), β= 108.198(4)°, V=1288.6(6) (A)3, Z=4, Mr=382.60, Dc=1.972 g/cm3, F(000)=760, μ=1.740, the final R=0.0555 and wR=0.0995 for 1732 observed reflections with Ⅰ ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ). The structural analysis shows that the intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions result in a three-dimensional supramolecular framework.
