A polynuclear complex [Cd（endc）（H20）]n·nH2O （endc = endo-norbornene-cis- 5,6-dicarboxylate anion） has been synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of cadmium nitrate tetrahydrate with endo-norbornene-cis-5,6-dicarboxylic acid in 1：1 molar ratio, and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with α = 1.16471（7）, b = 0.95334（7）, c = 0.91109（9） nm, Z= 4, V= 1.01035（14） nm^3, D, = 2.160 g/cm^3,μ = 2.172 mm^-1, F（000） = 648, R = 0.0302 and wR = 0.0752. According to structural analysis, each Cd（II） ion is coordinated to six O atoms from three endc anions and one water molecule, giving a distorted octahedral geometry. Two- dimensional layer arrangement of the title complex is constructed from the bridging nature of endc. It is worth notice that adjacent two-dimensional layers are joined together to form a three-dimensional supramolecular framework via intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions.
The title compound, [Cu（C6H4N2O4F）2（H2O）4].4（H2O） I, has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 8.3041（17）, b = 12.045（2）, c = 11.077（2） A, β = 92.567（3）°, V= 1106.8（4） A^3, Mr = 581.89, Z= 2, Dc = 1.746 g/cm^3, F（000） = 598,μ（MoKa） = 1.090 mm^-1, the final R = 0.0296 and wR = 0.0806 for 3195 observed reflections with Ⅰ 〉 2σ（Ⅰ）. In the centrosymmetric compound I, each Cu（Ⅱ） ion is coordinated by six O atoms from two 5-fluorouracil-1-acetate anions and four water molecules, forming a six-coordinated octahedral environment. N-H…O and O-H…O hydrogen-bonding interactions are observed in the structure, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
A novel supramolecular polymolybdic（VI） acid was unexpectedly synthesized by the reaction of sodium molybdate with 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic and trichloroacetic acids in 1：1：1 molar ratio under hydrothermal condition. The crystal belongs to tetragonal with space group P4/mbm, a = 0.88867（17）, b = 0.88867（17）, c = 0.55676（15） nm, Z = 3, V = 0.43969（17） nm^3, Dc = 4.486 g/cm^3,μ = 4.365 mm^-1, F（000） = 576, R = 0.0273 and wR = 0.0679. In the crystal, the Mo（VI） atoms are six- and five-coordinated in distorted octahedral and trigonal bipyramidal geometries, respectively. Furthermore, these Mo（VI） atoms, bearing different coordinated environments, are bridged by OH groups with disorder O atoms to form a twodimensional framework with pentagonal grids. It is worthy of notice that these adjacent twodimensional frameworks are extended into a three-dimensional supramolecular array with pentagonal large cavities＇by Van Der Waals＇ forces and hydrogen bonding interactions.
Hydrothermal reaction of terbium（ Ⅲ） chloride with 5-sulfoisophthalic acid monosodium salt and 1,10-phenanthroline（phen） at 415 K resulted in the formation of a novel coordination polymer, [ Tb （sip） （phen） （H2O） ],（sip =5-sulfoisophthalate trivalent anion） with a three-dimensional network structure. Each centrosymmetrically related pair of terbium ions axe linked by two sip anions, forming a binuclear unit, and each binuclear unit links to four adjacent tetranuclear units, extending a two-dimensional hybrid layer at crystallographic bc plane. On the other hand, every three-terbium ion is connected by three sip anions, generating a trinuclear ring, and the trinuclear ring connects six neighboring trinuclear rings to produce another two-dimensional layer at crystallographic ab plane. Moreover, each sip anion acts as a pontadentate bridge, interconnecting two different types of layers to yield a novel three-dimensional framework.
