A one-dimensional zigzag chain complex of Cd(FA)(pyim)(H2O) (1) (H2FA=4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis(benzoic acid) and pyim=2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole) was hydrothermal synthesized from Cd(NO3)2·4H2O, 4,4′- (hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis (benzoic acid) and 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole. Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed that the zigzag chains of 1 are linked into three-dimensional supramolecular networks by both O-H …O hydrogen- bonds and π…π stacking interactions. The crystal is of monoclinic, space group P21/n with a=0.856 34(10) nm, b=1.020 49(12) nm, c=2.809 0(3) nm, β=98.115(2)°, V=2.430 2(5) nm3, Dc=1.820 g·cm-3, Z=4, F(000)=1 320, Goof= 1.009, R1 =0.047 0, wR2 =0.115 5. In addition, complex 1 exhibits strong photoluminescent emission at room temperature. CCDC: 733837.
Hydrothermal reaction between 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid(H2PDA) and Zn(NO3)2·6H2O at the presence of the second ligand of 1,2-bis((1H-imidazol-1-yl) methyl)benzene(obix) yields a new 2D metal-organic coordination polymer [Zn(PDA)(obix)](1),which has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction,elemental analysis,IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis.Complex 1 presents a two-dimensional(2D) sheet structure and displays strong luminescent emission at room temperature.CCDC:716984.
A coordination polymer of Zn(IBT)2 (2) (HIBT=5-(4-((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)-2H-tetrazole) has been prepared by hydrothermal method and characterized by IR spectroscopy,elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure analysis. Compound 2 has one-dimensional (1D) hinged chain structure and displays strong photoluminescent emission at room temperature.
