Two Novel Coordination Polymers with(6,3) Topology Constructed by an Imidazole-containing Isophthalic Ligand:Syntheses,Structures and Luminescence Properties

Two novel coordination polymers,[Zn(ImNIPA)(DMSO)]n(1)and[Cd(ImNIPA)(DMSO)]n(2)(H2ImNIPA=5-(6-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1,3-dioxo-1H-benzo[de]iso-quinolin-2(3H)-yl)isophthalic acid,DMSO=dimethylsulfoxide),were prepared under solvothermal conditions through the reactions of Zn^2+/Cd^2+ and a new imidazole-containing isophthalic ligand H2ImNIPA.The compounds were fully characterized by elemental analysis,FT-IR spectroscopy,powder X-ray diffraction analysis and X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis.Both 1 and 2 are two-dimensional(2D)coordination layers via the combination of 3-connected metal nodes and ImNIPA^2- linker,featuring(6,3)honeycomb-type topology.In addition,the 2D layers in the two compounds are further extended into 3D supramolecular frameworks via π-π stacking interactions.Finally,the thermal-stability and solid-state luminescence properties of them were also investigated.
