A novel supramolecular compound,{[2-（2-pyridyl）benzimidazoleH2]2·[BiCl6]·Cl},was synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of o-phenylenediamine and α-pyridinecarboxylic acid with BiCl3 in 6.0 mol·L-1 HCl solution,and characterized by elemental analysis,IR,X-ray single-crystal diffraction and photoluminescence spectroscopy.The crystal （C24H22N6Cl7Bi,Mr= 851.61） belongs to the triclinic system,space group P1 with a =7.2887（18）,b =9.548（2）,c= 12.469（3）,α=85.306（4）,β=82.814（4）,γ=71.349（4）°,Z=1,V=814.9（3）3,Dc=1.735 g/cm3,μ（MoKα）=6.007 mm-1,F（000）=410,R=0.0307 and wR=0.0787.The bismuth ion and six chlorine ions construct a distorted octahedral configuration.The three-dimensional supramolecular network is built from electrostatic attractions,hydrogen bonds and π-π interaction between the BiCl6 anion,Cl anion and [2-（2-pyridyl）benzimidazoleH2] cation.The photoluminescence spectroscopy study shows that the title compound has a blue fluorescent emission at 450 nm in the solid state.
A new supramolecular compound, { [2-（2-pyridyl）benzimidazoleH2]2＋.[SBC15]2-}2, was synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of o-diaminobenzene, 2-pyridinecarboxylie acid and SbCl3 in 1：1 HC1 solution, and characterized by chemical analysis, elemental analysis, IR spectra, thermogravimetfic analysis and fluorescence spectra. The crystal structure was deter- mined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P211c, with a = 16.0397（13）, b = 14.3189（12）, c = 15.6370（13） A, β = 105.8980（10）°, V = 3454.0（5） A3, Z = 4, C24H22Cl10N6Sb2, Mr = 992.48, Dc = 1.909 g/cm3,/z = 2.366 mm-1, S = 1.010, F（000） = 1920, R = 0.0254 and wR = 0.0555. The coordination anion, [SbCl5]2- which is a distorted tetragonal pyramid, is composed by coordinating action with Sb3＋ ion and five adjacent chloride ions. Every four coordination anions of [SbCl5]2- form a biquaternion ring structure through the secondary bonding of Sb...Cl. Moreover, the compound adopts a three-dimensional network supramolecular structure because of the hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking between the rings and the 2-（2-pyridyl）benzimidazole divalent cations. The title compound also shows good fluorescent behaviors.
