| Abstract: | Two new metal–organic compounds, Ag2(HADC)2(bimh)] (1) and Cd(ADC)(bpp)]n (2) H2ADC = 1,3-adamantanedicarboxylic acid, bimh = 1,6-bis(2-methyl-imidazole-1-yl)hexane, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane], have been synthesized and characterized. Compound 1 exhibits a discrete symmetric unit with 0D→2D interpenetrating structure. Compound 2 crystallizes in a chiral space group P212121 and presents a threefold interpenetrated 3D diamondoid network containing three helical chains. Thermal stability, X-ray powder diffraction, and luminescence for 1 and 2 are also measured and discussed. |
