Four Transition Metal Coordination Polymers based on an Aromatic Multi‐carboxylic Acid as Ligand: Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Fluorescent/Magnetic Properties
Abstract:Abstract. Four compounds, namely, [Zn(H 2 were synthesized under solvothermal conditions by employing a semi-rigid aromatic multi-carboxylic acid ligand (H 3 L) and ancillary nitrogen ligand (bpy = 4,4Ј-bipyridine). Xray diffraction studies revealed that complexes 1, 3, and 4 show zerodimensional (0D) structures, which were further extended to distinct 3D supramolecular nets by extensive hydrogen-bond interactions. However, in compound 2, 1D chains of square-shaped pores were
“…As shown in Figure , two molecules of MCDA-MA undergo dimerization via complexation with the Ni 2+ ion in a linear lamellar fashion, which further stack into columns by π–π stacking interactions to create a noncovalent self-associated tubular packing pattern. From IR data and following previous reports, − it is proposed that four water molecules are coordinated with the central Ni 2+ ion to fulfill the octahedral geometry. The Ni 2+ ion coordination with the carboxyl group directs the sterically favored geometry for columnar self-assembling MCDA, which is a prerequisite for efficient polymerization.…”
Polydiacetylenes (PDAs) present excellent chromogenic characteristics and have been extensively utilized as a sensory polymeric material to design and fabricate colorimetric sensor systems. Herein, we describe a Ni 2+ -ion-directed reversibly solvatochromic tubular PDA based on macrocyclic diacetylene (MCDA). A dimeric MCDA complex was formed through Ni 2+intercalated coordinative binding with carboxyl groups, which later transform into blue-phase PDA upon UV irradiation. Infrared spectral analysis confirmed the presence of structural water molecules coordinating to central Ni 2+ , which predicted to fulfill the octahedral geometry. Spectroscopic studies for the reversible blue−red chromatic behavior revealed a very unusual and unprecedented chromatic switching mechanism originating due to localized structural disruption at the Ni 2+ coordination site that leads to torsion in the π-conjugated backbone for chromatic changes, in contrast to the typical residual monomeric dissolutioninduced mechanism. This unusual behavior can be attributed to the coordinating water molecules, which presents an attractive advantage by creating a hydrophilic pocket at the coordination site and allows interactions with hydrophilic solvents causing structural distortion.

“…Both water molecules form H-bonding interactions with two adjacent carboxylate groups (cf. the figure) and one neighboring coordinated water while this was not the case for the Ni(II) and Co(II)-based compounds, indicating the different synthesis might result in different lattice guest agreement [9]. The title complex is further assembled into a 3D supramolecular framework by the hydrogen bond interactions.…”
