Two manganese(II) coordination polymers, namely, [Mn_1.5(BCB)(bpy)_1.5(H₂O)]_n ( 1 ), and [Mn(HBCB)(bibp)₂(H₂O)] ( 2 ), were assembled from the mixed ligands of the flexible tripodal ligand of 3,5‐bis(2‐carboxylphenoxy)benzoic acid (H₃BCB) and two rigid N‐donors [bpy = 4,4′‐bipyridine, and bibp = 4,4′‐bis(imidazolyl)biphenyl]. Their structures were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses (EA), IR spectra, powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), and thermogravimetric (TG) analyses. Structural analysis reveals that complex 1 is a 3D (3,4,6)‐connected {5 · 6²}₂{5⁶ · 6⁴ · 7 · 8² · 9²}{6⁴ · 8 · 9} net based on two kinds of inorganic nodes of dinuclear {Mn₂(COO)₂} SBUs and Mn(2) ions.

Impact of Reaction Conditions on the Structures of Nickel(II) Complexes Based on 3‐(4‐Carboxyphenyl)propionic Acid

Two new nickel(II) complexes, [Ni(4, 4′‐bpy)(H₂O)₄]_n · n(cpp) · 0.5nH₂O ( 1 ) and [Ni(cpp)(4, 4′‐bpy)(H₂O)₂]_n ( 2 ) [4, 4′‐bpy = 4, 4′‐bipyridine, H₂cpp = 3‐(4‐carboxyphenyl)propionic acid] were synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. In complex 1 , Ni^II ions are bridged by 4, 4′‐bpy into 1D chains, and cpp ligands are not involved in the coordination, whereas in complex 2 , cpp ligands adopt a bis(monodentate) mode and link Ni^II ions into 2D (4, 4) grids with the help of 4, 4′‐bpy ligands. Triple interpenetration occurs, which results in the formation of a complicated 3D network. The difference in the structures of the two complexes can be attributed to the different reaction temperatures and bases.

All the complexes were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction indicates that complexes 1 and 2 show similar 1D chain structures, whereas complex 3 exhibits the 2D coordination network with hcb topology. The central metal atoms show distinct coordination arrangements ranging from distorted square‐pyramid for Cu^II in 1 , octahedron for Zn^II in 2 , to pentagonal‐bipyramid for Cd^II in 3 . The L²² ligand adopts the same (η³,μ₂) coordination fashion in complexes 1 – 3 , while the carboxyl groups of co‐ligand 5‐nipa^2– adopt monodentate fashion in 1 and 2 and bidentate chelating mode in 3 . These results indicate that the choice of metal ions exerts a significant influence on governing the target complexes. Furthermore, thermal stabilities of complexes 1 – 3 and photoluminescent properties of 2 and 3 were also studied in the solid state.

The CPs were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and single‐crystal X‐ray structure determination. The 1,3‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)propane (dpp) ligand acts as a bridging ligand, leading to the formation of a 1D polymer. The octahedral coordination sphere around copper consists of two N atoms from bpy for 1 or phen for 2 , two N atoms from dpp, one O atom from water and one O atom from a coordinated nitrate anion.

In the title complex, La( I ) ions and Cu( II ) ions are connected by the heterometallic bridging of NTA^3?, constructing a two‐dimensional network structure along the [110]. And it is extended into an infinite three‐dimensional network structure by the formation of homometallic bridging of Cu‐4, 4′‐bpy‐Cu, exhibiting a certain inclusion ability.     

A 1,2,4‐Triazole‐based Polynuclear Mixed‐valence MnIIMnIII Complex: Synthesis,Characterization, and Magnetic Property

A mixed‐valence Mn complex {[Mn^IIMn^III(HL)₂(4,4′‐bpy)(H₂O)₂] · (ClO₄)(DMF)₃(4,4′‐bpy)_0.5}_n ( 1 ) [H₂L = 3‐(2‐phenol)‐5‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1,2,4‐triazole] was synthesized and characterized by X‐ray single‐crystal structure analysis and magnetic susceptibility. Single‐crystal X‐ray analysis revealed that complex 1 has a dinuclear core, in which adjacent central Mn^III atoms are linked by 4,4′‐bipyridine to form an infinite one‐dimensional (1D) molecular configuration. According to the Mn surrounding bond lengths and bond valence sum (BVS) calculations, we demonstrated that the Mn atom coordinated to the pyridine N atoms is in the +2 oxidation state, while another Mn atom coordinated to the phenolic oxygen atoms is in the +3 oxidation state. Magnetic susceptibility data of the complex 1 indicate that the ferromagnetic interaction dominates in this complex.

Single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis revealed that the central Zn^II atoms in both complexes have similar octahedral arrangement. Compound 1 has a 2D sheet structure bridged by bidentate L³³⁴ and double μ_N,S‐thiocyanate anions, whereas complex 2 , incorporating with two monodentate dicynamide anions, displays a two‐dimensional coordination framework bridged by tetradentate L³³⁴ ligand.

Cadmium(II) three‐dimensional coordination polymers constructed from 1,3,5‐tris(4‐carboxyphenoxy)benzene: synthesis,crystal structure,fluorescence and I2 sorption characterization

Two three‐dimensional (3D) Cd^II coordination polymers, namely poly[[di‐μ‐aqua‐diaquabis{μ₅‐4,4′,4′′‐[benzene‐1,3,5‐triyltris(oxy)]tribenzoato}tricadmium(II)] dihydrate], {[Cd₃(C₂₇H₁₅O₉)₂(H₂O)₄]·2H₂O}_n, (I), and poly[[aqua{μ₆‐4,4′,4′′‐[benzene‐1,3,5‐triyltris(oxy)]tribenzoato}(μ‐formato)[μ‐1,1′‐(1,4‐phenylene)bis(1H‐imidazole)]dicadmium(II)] dihydrate], {[Cd₂(C₂₇H₁₅O₉)(C₁₂H₁₀N₄)(HCOO)(H₂O)]·2H₂O}_n, (II), have been hydrothermally synthesized from the reaction system containing Cd(NO₃)₂·4H₂O and the flexible tripodal ligand 1,3,5‐tris(4‐carboxyphenoxy)benzene (H₃tcpb) via tuning of the auxiliary ligand. Both complexes have been characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis, elemental analysis, IR spectra, powder X‐ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. Complex (I) is a 3D framework constructed from trinuclear structural units and tcpb^3? ligands in a μ₅‐coordination mode. The central Cd^II atom of the trinuclear unit is located on a crystallographic inversion centre and adopts an octahedral geometry. The metal atoms are bridged by four syn–syn carboxylate groups and two μ₂‐water molecules to form trinuclear [Cd₃(COO)₄(μ₂‐H₂O)₂] secondary building units (SBUs). These SBUs are incorporated into clusters by bridging carboxylate groups to produce pillars along the c axis. The one‐dimensional inorganic pillars are connected by tcpb^3? linkers in a μ₅‐coordination mode, thus forming a 3D network; its topology corresponds to the point symbol (4².6².8²)(4⁴.6²)₂(4⁵.6⁶.8⁴)₂. In contrast to (I), complex (II) is characterized by a 3D framework based on dinuclear cadmium SBUs, i.e. [Cd₂(COO)₃]. The two symmetry‐independent Cd^II ions display different coordinated geometries, namely octahedral [CdN₂O₄] and monocapped octahedral [CdO₇]. The dinuclear SBUs are incorporated into clusters by bridging formate groups to produce pillars along the c axis. These pillars are further bridged either by tcpb^3? ligands into sheets or by 1,4‐bis(imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene ligands into undulating layers, and finally these two‐dimensional surfaces interweave, forming a 3D structure with the point symbol (4.6²)(4⁷.6¹⁴). Compound (II) exhibits reversible I₂ uptake of 56.8 mg g^?1 with apparent changes in the visible colour and the UV–Vis and fluorescence spectra, and therefore may be regarded as a potential reagent for the capture and release of I₂.

Hydrothermal reactions of Cd(OAc)₂ · 2H₂O with 1,2‐naphthalic anhydride in the absence/presence of different rigid/flexible bis(pyridyl) co‐ligands, produce three distinct coordination polymers, namely [Cd(ndc)]_n ( 1 ), {[Cd₅(ndc)₄(bpp)₂(OH)₂](H₂O)₄}_n ( 2 ), and [Cd₅(ndc)₄(bpy)₂(OH)₂]_n ( 3 ) [ndc = 1,2‐naphthalenedicarboxylate, bpp = 1,3‐bis(4‐pyridyl)propane, and bpy = 4,4′‐bipyridine]. Complex 1 contains dinuclear [Cd₂O₂] clusters as secondary building units (SBUs) and shows a two‐dimensional (2D) kgd network. Complexes 2 and 3 possess one‐dimensional (1D) chains based on pentanuclear [Cd₅(μ₃‐OH)₂(COO)₂] units as SBUs, which are further extended to afford 2D sql sheet via flexible bpp in 2 and three‐dimensional (3D) pcu network via rigid bpy in 3 , respectively. The structural diversities indicate that the bis(pyridyl) co‐ligands with different flexibility play a key role on the formation of the final supramolecular structures. The complexes were characterized by X‐ray crystallographic, IR, elemental, thermal stability, and powder X‐ray diffraction analyses. In addition, the photoluminescent properties in solid state were also investigated.
