Auxiliary ligand-directed structural variation of the Zn(II)–1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene net: synthesis,characterization, and luminescence

In this article, two different anionic ligands, 3,4-oxybis(benzoate) (bopH₂) and sulfate, have been employed as co-ligands to perform a comparison on the structures of coordination polymers based on the Zn(II)–rigid 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene (bib) net. Two new coordination polymers, {Zn(bib)(bop)}_∞ (1) and {Zn(bib)(SO₄)}_∞ (2), were synthesized from hydrothermal reactions and characterized by elemental analyses, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 contains two unique 2-D layers, which are further interpenetrated to form a two-fold 2-D?→?2-D framework. However, 2 consists of a 3-D structure with pcu topology constructed by sulfates as pillars. The structural difference of 1 and 2 indicates that size of the ancillary ligands play important roles in formation of such coordination architectures. Thermal and fluorescence properties of 1 and 2 are also investigated in the solid state.     

Two Zn(II) coordination polymers based on 1,3-di(4’-carboxyl-phenyl)benzene and N-donor coligands: syntheses,crystal structures,and luminescent properties

Two coordination polymers, {[Zn(dpb)(3-bpmp)_0.5]·1.5(DMF)}_n (1) and [Zn(dpb)(4-bpmp)]_n (2) (H₂dpb = 1,3-di(4′-carboxyl-phenyl)benzene, 3-bpmp = 1,4-bis(3-pyridylmethy)piperazine, 4-bpmp = 1,4-bis(4-pyridylmethy)piperazine and DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), were solvothermally synthesized and characterized. Tuning the difference of N-donor ligands, we obtained 1 and 2 which display different topological nets. Complex 1 features a 6-connected topological net and 2 shows a 4-connected three-fold interpenetrated framework. Luminescent properties of 1 and 2 are investigated at room temperature.     

Syntheses,structures, and properties of two- and three-dimensional coordination polymers based on bis(imidazole) and glutarate ligands

Two new coordination polymers, [Zn(bix)_0.5(glu)]_n (1) and {[Co(bix)(glu)]·4H₂O}_n (2), were synthesized (bix = 1,4-bis(2-methylimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, glu = glutarate). In 1, each Zn(II) is connected by four glu ligands and extend to form a [Zn(glu)]_n 2-D network. Adjacent [Zn(glu)]_n 2-D networks are bridged by bix ligands to construct a 6-connected 3-D network based on the Zn₂ unit. 2 shows an undulated 2-D (4,4) network. The interesting structural feature of 2 is that there are 1-D water chains. The O–H···O hydrogen bond interactions link the 2-D coordination networks and construct the 3-D supramolecular architecture in 2. The glu ligands are bis-(bidentate) bridges in 1 and bis-(monodentate) bridges in 2. The luminescence of 1 and thermal stability of 1 and 2 were investigated.

Reactions of Zn/Cd(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O and terephthalic acid (H₂BDC) with three bis-triazole ligands afforded three coordination polymers under solvothermal conditions, {[Zn(BDC)(L1)]·H₂BDC}_n (1), {[Zn(BDC)(L2)_0.5]·H₂O}_n (2), and {[Cd₂(BDC)₂(L3)(DMF)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O]}_n (3) (L1 = bis(4-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)phenyl)methane, L2 = bis(4-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)phenyl)ethane, and L3 = 1,4-bis(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzene). Solid 1 displayed a 2-D structure which contained two kinds of rings. Both 2 and 3 were 3-D threefold interpenetrating frameworks. Solid 2 showed a α–Po-related net, while 3 exhibited an acs-related network with a binuclear node. Furthermore, the photoluminescent properties of 1–3 were investigated.     

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.

We have synthesized a series of metal–organic coordination frameworks under solvothermal conditions, formulated as [Cu(L)(phen)](1), [Co₂(L)₂(bib)]·CH₃OH(2), [Co(L)(btmb)_0.5](3), [Zn(L)(bib)]·2H₂O(4), [Cu(L)(bib)]·DMF(5), and [Mn₄(L)₄(bimb)(CH₃OH)](6) based on a flexible multicarboxylic bridging ligand 4,4′-methylenebis(oxy)-dibenzoic acid (H₂L) and flexible N-donor ligands 1,4-bis (1H-imidazol-1-yl)-butane (bib), 1,4-bis(1H-1,2,4-triazol- 1-ylmethyl)benzene (btmb), and 1,4-bis(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (bimb). The structures of the frameworks have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric analyses. The crystal structure determinations reveal that 1 has a 1-D Z-shape chain. Compounds 2 and 3 are 2-D twofold parallel interpenetrating 4-connected net with the Schläfli symbol {4⁴·6²}. Compound 4 is a 2-D threefold parallel interpenetrating 4-connected nets with the Schläfli symbol {4⁴·6²}. Compound 5 is 3-D 4-connected net with the Schläfli symbol {6⁵·8}. Compound 6 is characterized by a three-dimensional framework with one-dimensional homogeneous Mn-carboxylate chain. We found that flexible carboxylate ligands have different coordination modes under different synthetic conditions. The flexible skeleton of ligands and the coordination angle between the ligand and the metal ion is described. The luminescence and thermogravimetric properties of these compounds have been investigated.

In the polymers the two coordinating nitrogen atoms on bridging bbmb ligands are trans to the central benzene plane.
