Syntheses, Crystal Structures and Fluorescence Properties of Two Triazolyl Derivatives with Biphenyl Links

Two novel triazolyl derivatives with biphenyl links,namely 4,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-methyl)biphenylene 1 and 4,4-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)biphenylene 2,have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Compounds 1·H2O·HCl and 2·2H2O·2HCl crystallize in the monoclinic system with spacegroup C2/c and P21/c,respectively.he dihedral angles of the two phenyl rings are 30.26(6)° in 1·H2O·HCl,while co-planar(0.00(7)°)in 2·2H2O·2HCl.In 1'H2O·HCl,the N-H…O hydrogen bonds link 1 to form chain-like structures which are further connected by O-H…Cl,C-H…Cl,C-H…O and π-π supramolecular interactions.The hydrogen bonds of O-H…Cl in 2·2H2O·2HCl provide distinguishing P/M helical chains along the baxis,and these chains are further connected by N-H…O hydrogen bonds to generate a 2D structure.Compounds 1 and 2 in methanol solution show much stronger emission bands at 319 nm than biphenyl at 3 16 nm under excitation at 260 nm.
