Four metal-organic coordination polymers [Co 2 (L) 3 (nipa) 2 ]· 6H 2 O (1), [Cd(L)(nipa)]·3H 2 O (2), [Co(L) (Hoxba) 2 ] (3) and [Ni 2 (L) 2 (oxba) 2 (H 2 O)]·1.5L·3H 2 O (4) were synthesized by reactions of the corresponding metal(II) salts with the rigid ligand 1,4-bis(1Himidazol-4-yl)benzene (L) and different derivatives of 5-nitroisophthalic acid (H 2 nipa) and 4,4Ј-oxybis(benzoic acid) (H 2 oxba), respectively. The structures of the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 3 have the same one-dimensional (1D) chain while 2 is a 6-connected twofold interpenetrating three-dimensional (3D) 1808 network with α-Po 4 12 ·6 3 topology based on the binuclear Cd II subunits. Compound 4 features a puckered two-dimensional (2D) (4, 4) network, and the large voids of the packing 2D nets have accommodated the uncoordinated L guest molecules. An abundant of N-H···O, O-H···O and C-H···O hydrogen bonding interactions exist in complexes 1-4, which contributes to stabilize the crystal structure and extend the low-dimensional entities into high-dimensional frameworks. Lastly, the photoluminiscent properties of compounds 2 were also investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
