Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Fluorescence of a Three-dimensional Cd(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer [Cd(μ1,3-SCN-)2(μ-dmpo)]n (dmpo = 3,5-Dimethylpyridine N-Oxide)

A three-dimensional complex [Cd(μ1,3-SCN)2(dmpo)]n has been synthesized with μ1,3-SCN- and dmpo as mixed bridge ligands. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 15.648(2), b = 15.126(2), c = 11.9773(15) (A), β= 112.416(2)°, V= 2620.7(6) (A)3, Z= 8,C9H9CdN3OS2, Mr = 351.71, Dc = 1.783 g/cm3, F(000) = 1376 and μ = 1.967 mm-1. The structure was refined to R = 0.0260 and wR = 0.0647 for 2186 observed reflections (1 ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ)). In the crystal the Cd(Ⅱ) ions are coordinated byμ1,3-SCN- bridge ligands to form the crossing chains on the adjacent planes, and these chains are further joined by μ-dmpo mono-dentate bridge ligands leading to a three-dimensional structure. The complex exhibits strong fluorescent emission property.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, magnetic properties and theoretical studies on a one-dimensional polynuclear copper(II) complex [Cu2(mu1,3-SCN)2(mu'1,3-SCN)2(MPyO)2]n

A new one-dimensional polynuclear copper(II) complex [Cu(2)(mu(1,3)-SCN)(2)(mu'(1,3)-SCN)(2)(MPyO)(2)](n)(where MPyO = 4-methylpyridine N-oxide) has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography. In the complex there exist two kinds of bridging coordination modes, namely, mu(1,3)-SCN(-) equatorial-equatorial (EE) bridging ligand and micro'(1,3)-SCN(-) equatorial-axial (EA) bridging ligand. Two micro(1,3)-SCN(-) EE bridging ligands coordinate two copper(II) ions in a binuclear unit, and the S atoms from the micro'(1,3)-SCN(-) EA bridging ligands as axial coordinated atoms link the binuclear units into one-dimensional chains. The ESR spectra have been investigated, and variable temperature (4-300 K) magnetic measurements were analyzed using a binuclear Cu(ii) magnetic interaction formula and indicate the existence of strong antiferromagnetic coupling with 2J=- 216.00 cm(-1) between bridged copper(II) ions. Density functional calculations have been carried out on this binuclear unit, yielding a similar singlet-triplet splitting. The mechanism of strong antiferromangetic interaction is revealed according to the calculations.     

Syntheses, Crystal Structures and Fluorescence of Cadmium(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymers with Pyrazine-1,4-dioxide, 2-Methylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide and Thiocyanate as Mixed Bridge Ligands

Two Cd(Ⅱ) coordination polymers have been synthesized with pyrazine-1,4-dioxide(L1), 2-methylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide (L2), and thiocyanate anion as mixed bridge ligands. Crystal data for complex 1 [Cd(μ13-SCN-)2(L1)]n: monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a =6.8342(11), b = 14.349(2), c = 10.5443(16) (A), β = 98.534(2)°, V = 1022.5(3) (A)3, Z = 4,C6H4CdN4O2S2, Mr = 340.65, Dc. = 2.213 g/cm3, F(000) = 656 andμ = 2.527 mm-1; and those for2: triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 7.877(3), b = 8.693(3), c = 8.754(3) (A), α =102.297(6), β= 102.464(6), γ= 98.480(6)°, V = 560.0(3) (A)3, Z = 2, C7H6CdN4O2S2, Mr = 354.68,Dc = 2.103 g/cm3, F(000) = 344 and μ = 2.311 mm-1. 1 shows a three-dimensional network structure, and along the c direction a one-dimensional chain is constructed by the coordination of Cd(Ⅱ) ions withμ1,3-SCN- ligands, and the L1 bridging ligands made the chains connect each other leading to the formation of a three-dimensional structure. For 2, the one-dimensional chains along the b axis are generated by the coordination of L2 bridging ligands with Cd(Ⅱ) ions, and the chains are further joined byμ1,3-SCN- bridging ligands forming a two-dimensional sheet structure on the (1 0 -1) plane. Both complexes 1 and 2 exhibit strong fluorescence emission.
