Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of One 3D Coordination Polymer of Nickel(Ⅱ) Achieved from 5-Iodo-isophthalic Acid Ligand

A new coordination polymer Ni(L)(m-bix)(H2O)]n(1, H2L = 5-iodo-isophthalic acid, m-bix = 1,3-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-benzene) has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, powder XRD and single-crystal X-ray analysis. The crystal is of triclinic, space group P1 with a = 9.1638(3), b = 10.2319(3), c = 13.2463(4) ?, α = 80.1710(10), β = 83.671(2), γ = 70.3790(10)o, C22H19NiIN4O5, Mr = 605.02, V = 1150.85(6) ?3, Dc = 1.746 g/cm3, F(000) = 600, μ = 2.225 mm-1, S = 1.045 and Z = 2. The final R = 0.0388 and wR = 0.1257 for 5089 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). In the title complex, the M and P layers are arranged alternately to give a double-layer structure by the symmetry related hydrogen bonds, and these double-layers are further joined together to achieve a 2D supramolecular architecture through I···π interaction involving iodine atoms and imidazole rings. The thermal stability of the title complex was studied by thermal gravimetric(TG) and differential thermal analysis(DTA).
