Backbone Flexibility and Counterion Effects on the Structure and Thermal Properties of Di(thiourea)zinc Dicarboxylate Coordination Polymers

Abstract: The reaction between [Zn(tu) 4 ]Cl 2 and the appropriate sodium dicarboxylate has been shown to give the coordination polymers [Zn(tu) all of which have been crystallographically characterised. The crystal structures of 7−9 demonstrate that these compounds form helical structures in which the dicarboxylates adopt conformations with the relative positions of the carboxylate groups similar to those in constrained anions such as phthalate. The role of the chloride counterion in the starting material has been e… Show more

“…Metal-carboxylates are particularly of high interests because they exhibit openframework structures and their carboxylate group acts as a linker between inorganic moieties [11][12][13][14][15]. Generally, two kinds of these ligands have been utilized in this field, in which the rigid ligands, such as benzenedicarboxylate and benzenetricarboxylate with special orientations may form the predictable target frameworks according to the designed strategy [16][17][18][19][20][21][22], while flexible ligands like succinic and glutaric acid may induce some unusual structures [23][24][25][26][27], in which they can adopt more types of conformations and coordination modes according to the geometric requirements of different metal ions. However, just limited work is related to polycarboxylate ligands with characteristics of both flexibility and rigidity [28,29].…”

“…Crystal engineering of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is realizable by the choice of metals and the numerous choice and design of ligands, which bears the weight of prospective applications in new chemical separation, ion exchange, and gas adsorption [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In particular, carboxylate ligands have been frequently employed in the construction of microporous inorganic/organic hybrid materials for gas storage purposes.…”
