| Abstract: | A new ligand, N-P-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl-glycine acid (abbreviated as abglyH2), and three transition metal complexes Mn(abglyH)2(bipy)(H2O)2] n (1), Mn(abglyH)2(bipy)2(H2O)2] (2) and Zn(abglyH)2(H2O)4] (3) (bipy=4,4′-bipyridine) have been synthesized under mild conditions and characterized by IR, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 exhibits a 1-D linear chain, which is further connected to a 3-D supramolecular network through various kinds of hydrogen bonds and p–π stacking interactions. 2 and 3 are monomeric compounds, and 2 is assembled by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and CH ···?π?interactions into a 3-D supramolecular network, while 3 is extended into a 2-D supramolecular network through hydrogen bonds. Fluorescent analysis shows that 3 has an emissive maximum at 353 nm in the solid state at room temperature. |
