To systematically explore the impact
of coordination complexes
on the synthesis of 2-imidazoline and 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine
derivatives, five Co(II)/Mn(II)/Cu(II) architectures, formulated as
{[Co(L)0.5(H2O)2]·CH3OH·H2O}
n
(1), {[Co(L)0.5(pbib)]·4H2O}
n
(2), [Mn(L)0.5(Hatz)0.5(H2O)]
n
(3), {[Cu(L)0.5(phen)2][Cu(L)0.5(phen)2]·0.5L·5H2O}
n
(4), and {[Cu(L)0.5(2,2′-bpy)(H2O)]·H2O}
n
(5) (H4L
= 5,5′-(hexane-1,6-diyl)-bis(oxy)diisophthalic acid,
pbib = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, Hatz = 1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2′-bipy
= 2,2′-bipyridine), have been designed and synthesized. 1 presents a (4,4)-connected 2D sql net with
its point (Schläfli) symbol of (44·62)2, which is finally extended to a 3D supramolecular framework
by π···π stacking interactions. 2 has a 3D (4,4)-connected new topology net with a point symbol of
(86)2. 3 features a (4,4)-connected
3-fold interpenetrating 3D pts topology network with
the Schläfli symbol (42·84)2. 4 possesses two binuclear molecules, and these
adjacent binuclear units are further stretched to a 2D infinite packing
structure through two distinct types of π···π
stacking interactions. 5 is a 2D layer structure with
the (8)(84·122) topology. The magnetic
studies of 1 and 3 elucidate that both of
them signify antiferromagnetic interactions. 4 and 5 have been justified to be available heterogeneous catalysts
for the synthesis of 2-imidazoline and 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine
derivatives.
