Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Photoluminescence of a 2D Two-fold Interpenetrating Cd(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer Based on a Flexible Reduced Schiff Base Ligand

<正>By the reaction of cadmium chloride with a reduced Schiff base ligand (H_2L = N-(4- carboxybenzyl)-glycine), a novel Cd(II) compound Cd(HL)_2]·4H_2O (1) has been obtained. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that it crystallizes in orthorhombic, space group Pbcn with a = 13.9788(8), b = 24.4204(14), c = 13.9580(8), V = 4764.8(5)~3, Z = 8, M_r = 600.84, D_c = 1.675 g/cm~3, μ = 0.983 mm~(-1), F(000) = 2448, S = 1.084, R = 0.0806 and wR = 0.1705 (I > 2σ(I)). It displays a 2D two-fold interpenetrating structure. The Cd(II) ions are six-coordinated. The cross-linkage of Cd(II) ions by the bridge of HL anions results in a Cd(HL)_2] layer. Every two Cd(HL)_2]_n layers are penetrated with each other, resulting in a two-fold interpenetrating double-layer structure by π-π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds. Such double-layers are further linked by hydrogen bonds into a supramolecular structure. Photoluminescent investigation shows that compound 1 displays strong emission in the purple region.
