Hydrothermal Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Zn(Ⅱ) and Co(Ⅱ) Complexes Constructed from 5-Methoxyisophthalic Acid and 1,10-Phenanthroline Ligands

Two new one-dimensional coordination polymers,[Zn(L)(phen)]n 1 and {[Co2(L)2(phen)2]·2H2O}n 2(H2L=5-methoxyisophthalic acid,phen=1,10-phenanthroline),have been obtained by hydrothermal conditions.According to their single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses,complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system,space group P2/c with a=8.9195(11),b=12.3620(15),c=17.0211(18),β=106.690(5)o,V=1797.7(4)3,the final R=0.0298 and wR=0.0715 for 3351 independent reflections with Rint=0.0353.Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic system,space group C2/c with a=24.981(4),b=11.1204(19),c=18.125(3),β=132.5620(10)o,V=3708.5(11)3,the final R=0.0349 and wR=0.0914 for 3424 independent reflections with Rint=0.0214.Both 1 and 2 show L-bridged one-dimensional chain.1 and 2 are further assembled by π-π and hydrogen bonding interactions into 2-D layer structures,and they also display 3-D supramolecular frameworks through their other hydrogen bonds.Zn(Ⅱ) ion is five-coordinated with a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry,while Co(Ⅱ) ion is six-coordinated and resides in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.Additionally,complex 1 shows fluorescence in the solid state at room temperature.
