Two Cd(II) coordination polymers based on tris(p-carboxylphenyl)phosphine oxide accompanied by in situ ligand formation

Two Cd(II) coordination polymers constructed from tris(p-carboxylphenyl)phosphine oxide (H₃TPO), [Cd(HTPO)(1,4-bix)·3H₂O]_n (1) and [Cd₂(HTPO)(HBPO)(H₂O)₂]_n (2) (1,4-bix = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, H₃BPO = bis(4-carboxylphenyl)phosphinic acid), were synthesized and identified by IR, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The 1,4-bix ligand leads to 1 as a ladder-like 1D chain structure. In 2, adjacent Cd₂ units are bridged by HBPO^2– and HTPO^2– ligands to form a 3D structure. The H₃BPO ligand is formed from the in situ reaction of H₃TPO. It is the first example from hydrated Cd(II) salt promoting partial hydrolysis of a phosphine oxide ligand. The thermal behavior and solid-state photoluminescence properties correlated with the corresponding structural features were investigated.

Four Cd(II)- and Cu(II)-containing coordination polymers (CPs) based on a multidentate N-donor ligand and varied dicarboxylate anions, [Cd(3,3′-tmbpt)(p-bdc)]·2.5H₂O (1), [Cd(3,3′-tmbpt)(m-bdc)]·2H₂O (2), [Cu(3,3′-tmbpt)(m-bdc)]·H₂O (3), and [Cu(3,3′-tmbpt)(p-bdc)]·2H₂O (4), where 3,3′-tmbpt = 1 ? ((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole, p-H₂bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, and m-H₂bdc = 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, have been prepared hydrothermally. The structures of the compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by infrared spectra and elemental analyses. Compound 1 exhibits a 3-D twofold interpenetrating framework with a 6⁵·8 CdSO₄ topology. Compound 2 is a 2-D layer containing meso-helical chains with a 4⁴·6² sql topology. Compound 3 shows a 1-D → 3-D interdigitated architecture while 4 displays a 2-D → 3-D interdigitated architecture. The structural differences of the compounds indicate that the dicarboxylate anions and the central metal ions play important roles in the resulting structures of CPs. Optical band gaps and solid-state photoluminescent properties have also been studied.

To observe anion impact on structural diversity of coordination architectures, three 1-D Ag(I) complexes with distinct features have been prepared, {[Ag(bpbib)₂(NO₃)]·C₃NH₉O)}_n (1), [Ag₂(bpbib)₂·(BF₄)₂]_n (2), and [Ag₂(bpbib)₂·(ClO₄)₂]_n (3), by the reactions of 4,4′-bis((2-(pyridin-2-yl)-¹H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)methyl)biphenyl (bpbib) with Ag(I) salts. Complex 1 is a 1-D helical chain, whereas 2 and 3 bear ligand-unsupported Ag(I)···Ag(I) interaction-directed 1-D structural motif, with synergetic working of flexible organic linker and anions. All complexes exhibit strong triplet state emission at cryogenic temperatures, which profits from the reduction of nonradiative transitions.

abstract

Computational investigations were done on bis(1-allyl-3-benzyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)silver(I), bis(1-benzyl-3-butyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)silver(I), bis(1-allyl-3-benzyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)dibromidepalladium(II), and bis(1-benzyl-3-butyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)dibromidepalladium(II) complexes. Related complexes were optimized at different six calculation levels which are HF/6-31G(LANL2DZ), HF/6-31G(d,p)(LANL2DZ), B3LYP/6-31G(LANL2DZ), B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)(LANL2DZ), M062X/6-31G(LANL2DZ) and M062X/6-31G(d,p)(LANL2DZ) levels in vacuo. IR and NMR spectrum are calculated and examined in detail. Energy diagram of molecular orbitals, contour diagram of frontier molecular orbitals, molecular electrostatic potential maps and the harmonic surface of related molecules are examined in detail. Finally, interactions between mentioned complexes and related proteins (1BNA, 1JNX, and 2ING) are investigated in detail. As a result, it is found that biological and anti-cancer properties of silver N-heterocyclic carbene complexes are higher than those of palladium complexes.

Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that 1 has a 2-D layer structure in which tmb bridges and all of the carboxylates from 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate chelate. In 2 Cd(II) ions are bridged by monodentate carboxylates leading to a 2-D layer structure with all tmb ligands coordinated monodentate to Cd(II), hanging at two sides of the layers. Complexes 1 and 2 are further extended to 3-D supramolecular structures by hydrogen bonding interactions. Luminescent properties have been investigated in the solid state at room temperature.     

Two Zn(II) coordination polymers constructed by a new tricarboxylate and different N-containing ligands: synthesis,crystal structures,and selective luminescence sensing for Fe3+ in aqueous solution

Two Zn(II) coordination polymers, {[Zn₃(L)₂(bipy)₂(H₂O)₄}_n (1) and {[Zn(HL)(4,4′-bibp)}_n (2), were obtained from Zn(II) nitrate, a tricarboxylate ligand (H₃L) and different N-containing ligands with hydrothermal conditions, where H₃L = 4-((6-carboxynaphthalen-2-yl)oxy)phthalic acid, bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, and 4,4′-bibp = 4,4′-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1,1′-biphenyl. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that 1 has a 2-D layer framework formed by L^3? and bipy and 2 has an infinite 1-D structure with Zn₂ units built by 4,4′-bibp ligands. The phase purity, IR spectra, thermal stabilities, and fluorescence properties in the solid state of 1 and 2 were investigated. Moreover, 1 and 2 were chosen as fluorescent probes to sense different metal ions, showing selective response to Fe³⁺ ion through luminescence quenching. The possible sensing mechanism to Fe³⁺ ion is also discussed.

Complex 1 is a 2-D layer consisting of dinuclear Cd(II)-carboxylate units, two carboxylates of MeO-ip adopt μ₂,η²-bridging and chelating modes. MeO-ip bridges three Cd(II) ions to form a 1-D [Cd₂(MeO-ip)₂]_n chain, which is further extended into a 2-D layer by bpp in a trans,trans-conformation. However, two carboxylates of MeO-ip in 2 are monodentate and chelating to link Ni(II) into a 1-D [Ni(MeO-ip)]_n chain with bpp in a trans-gauche conformation connecting [Ni(MeO-ip)]_n chains into a two-fold interpenetrating 3-D network. Coordinated water and carboxylate oxygen from different MeO-ip form strong hydrogen bonds. The frameworks of 1 and 2 are stable below 250 and 300?°C, respectively. Luminescence indicates that 1 shows maximum emission at 375 and 450 nm upon excitation at 320 nm. Magnetic measurement of 2 suggests the presence of ferromagnetic interactions in 2.

Three copper(II) isomers, [Cu(dtcd)(DNBA)₂]_n (1–3) (HDNBA = 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, dtcd = N,N-di(4H-1,2,4-triazole)cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxamide), were synthesized in a one-pot reaction, and structurally characterized. Polymer 1 shows a 1-D single chain in which dtcd connect adjacent Cu²⁺ ions, while DNBA^? is monodentate. In 2, every two Cu²⁺ ions are linked by carboxylate of a DNBA^? in a chelate-bridging mode into a binuclear unit, which is further connected by dtcd ligands into a 1-D double chain. In 3, dtcd connect Cu²⁺ ions via triazole nitrogens to generate 1-D single chains, which are further extended into a 2-D network by the amide oxygens of a dtcb from an adjacent chain. The pH plays an important role in product distribution of 1–3. The coordination behaviors of dtcd and DNBA^? also influence the final structures. Luminescent properties of 1–3 have been investigated.

Structural analysis shows that each PIA^2? in 1 bridges three Cu(II) ions, and likewise each Cu(II) ion connects to three PIA^2? ligands, giving a 3-D framework with utp topology and left-/right-handed helical channels. Interestingly, two such identical frameworks interlock with each other to generate a twofold interpenetrated structure that is stabilized by hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions. In addition, the thermal stability and the magnetic properties of 1 have been investigated.
