Complex I is a trinuclear structure. Complex II features a 1D zigzag chain. Complex III shows a twisted double chain of binuclear units sustained by double carboxylate bridges. Three complexes are further extended into 3D supramolecular frameworks by hydrogen bonding and π-π-stacking interactions. The structural differences among I–III show that the organic carboxylates have important effects on the structures. Furthermore, the supramolecular interactions are the critical factors in determining the final structures of the complexes. In addition, the thermal stabilities and luminescent properties of complexes I and II are also investigated.     

Self-assembly of three Cd(II) complexes: 0-D, 1-D,and 3-D structures based on 2-(1H-imidazol-1-methyl)-1 H-benzimidazole

Complex 2 exhibits a 1-D chain structure (···Cd–L–Cd–L···) constructed by L bridging Cd(II) ions. In 3, the Cd(II) ions are five-connected nodes and linked by L and iodide leading to the 3-D network. Complexes 2 and 3 are synthesized maintaining the same solvents and stoichiometric ratio of metal and ligand at different reaction temperature. The different structures of the complexes indicate that the temperature plays a significant role in construction of the complexes. Luminescent properties of 1–3 have been investigated in the solid state at room temperature.

Syntheses,crystal structures,and fluorescent properties of two d10 metal complexes based on 2-(benzoimidazol-yl)methyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate

Two d¹⁰ metal complexes, {[Zn(Hbtc)(bmt)]·DMF·5H₂O} _n (1) and {[Cd(Hbtc)(bmt)]·0.5DMF·0.5H₂O} _n (2) (H₃btc?=?1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, bmt?=?2-((benzoimidazol-yl)methyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole), have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions by employing bmt and H₃btc. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that Zn(II) ions are connected by bmt with bidentate-bridging coordination and by 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate with bis-monodentate coordination leading to the 2D structure of 1. Complex 2 exhibits a 2D layer structure, in which bmt coordinate tridentate-bridging to Cd(II) and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylates coordinate to Cd(II) unidentate/chelating.

1,2,4‐Triazole Controlled CdII/MnII Complexes with Discrete Mononuclear,Polymeric 1D Chain,and 2D Layer Motifs

Three Htrz‐based metal complexes, [Cd(trz)(CH₃OH)(nb)]_n ( 1 ), [Cd(Htrz)(H₂O)(nb)₂]_n ( 2 ), and {[Mn(Htrz)₂(H₂O)₄] · 2nb} ( 3 ) (Htrz = 1,2,4‐triazole, Hnb = 4‐nitrobenzoic acid), have been synthesized by diffusion or solvent evaporation method and structurally characterized by single crystal X‐ray crystallography, elemental analysis, IR and fluorescence spectroscopy, and TG‐DTA. Structural determinations revealed that complex 1 has a two‐dimensional (2D) layer structure constructed by tridentate μ_N1,N2,N4‐bridging trz anions and Cd^II ions. Complex 2 presents a 1D polymeric chain structure bridged by bidentate μ_N1,N4‐bridging Htrz molecule and Cd^II ions, whereas compound 3 is a supramolecular assembly containing a mononuclear [Mn(Htrz)₂(H₂O)₄]²⁺ dication and two free nb anions for charge compensation. Thus, the structural diversity of the three complexes is significantly governed by the coordination modes of the neutral/deprontated Htrz ligand, rather than the terminal/lattice nb anion. Additionally, the thermal stability of the complexes is observed to be dependent on the polymeric or discrete structure nature. At room temperature, the three solid complexes show Htrz‐based intraligand fluorescent emission.
