Two new cadmium(II)-based materials, featuring two-dimensional (2D) [Cd2(μ6-deta)(bpy)(H2O)]n (1) and three-dimensional (3D) [Cd2(μ5-deta)(bpy)2(H2O)]n (2) structures, were constructed by the hydrothermal method from 2,3′,4′,5-diphenyl ether tetracarboxylic acid (H4deta) as an unexplored linker in research on coordination polymers (CPs) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) as a mediator of crystallization. Microcrystalline samples of 1 and 2 were analyzed by IR/PXRD/EA/TGA and X-ray diffraction using single crystals. Structures and topologies of CPs 1 and 2 were established, revealing a 4,6L45 topological layer in 1 and a 3,5T1 topological framework in 2. Structural differences for 1 and 2 are attributed to distinct molar ratios between Cd2+ and bpy during the hydrothermal synthesis. Luminescence and thermal behavior of the obtained materials were also investigated. The present work opens up the use of an unexplored 2,3′,4′,5-diphenyl ether tetracarboxylic acid as a versatile and flexible linker toward the generation of functional coordination polymer materials.

Two CoII-based coordination polymers, namely poly[(μ4-biphenyl-2,2′,5,5′-tetracarboxylato){μ2-1,3-bis[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene}dicobalt(II)], [Co2(C16H6O8)(C14H14N4)2] n or [Co2(o,m-bpta)(1,3-bimb)2] n (I), and poly[[aqua(μ4-biphenyl-2,2′,5,5′-tetracarboxylato){1,4-bis[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene}dicobalt(II)] dihydrate], {[Co2(C16H6O8)(C14H14N4)2(H2O)2]·4H2O} n or {[Co2(o,m-bpta)(1,4-bimb)2(H2O)2]·4H2O} n (II), were synthesized from a mixture of biphenyl-2,2′,5,5′-tetracarboxylic acid, i.e. [H4(o,m-bpta)], CoCl2·6H2O and N-donor ligands under solvothermal conditions. The complexes were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The bridging (o,m-bpta)4− ligands combine with CoII ions in different μ4-coordination modes, leading to the formation of one-dimensional chains. The central CoII atoms display tetrahedral [CoN2O2] and octahedral [CoN2O4] geometries in I and II, respectively. The bis[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene (bimb) ligands adopt trans or cis conformations to connect CoII ions, thus forming two three-dimensional (3D) networks. Complex I shows a (2,4)-connected 3D network with left- and right-handed helical chains constructed by (o,m-bpta)4− ligands. Complex II is a (4,4)-connected 3D novel network with ribbon-like chains formed by (o,m-bpta)4− linkers. Magnetic studies indicate an orbital contribution to the magnetic moment of I and II due to the longer Co...Co distances. An attempt has been made to fit the χM T results to the magnetic formulae for mononuclear CoII complexes, the fitting indicating the presence of weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the CoII ions.

Three new inorganic–organic coordination polymers based on a versatile linking unit 2-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)acetate (Hima) and divalent Mn(ii), Ni(ii), and Cu(ii) ions, exhibiting two kinds of two dimensionalities with different topological structures, have been prepared in water medium and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Reaction of MnCl2·4H2O and Ni(NO3)2·6H2O with Hima yielded neutral two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymers [M(ima)2]n, M = Mn(ii) 1, and Ni(ii) 2 with isostructural 2D coordination polymers possessing (3,6) topology structures, which further stack into three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular networks through C–H···O weak interactions. However, when Cu(NO3)2·4H2O was used, a neutral 2D coordination polymer [Cu(ima)2]n 3 consisting of rhombus units was generated, which showed a 3D supramolecular network through C–H···O weak interactions. Among these polymers, the building block ima anion exhibits different coordination modes. These results indicate that the versatile nature of this flexible ligand, together with the coordination preferences of the metal ions, plays a critical role in construction of these novel coordination polymers. Spectral and thermal properties of these new materials have also been investigated.

Coordination polymers constructed from conjugated organic ligands and metal ions with a d 10 electronic configuration exhibit intriguing properties for chemical sensing and photochemistry. A ZnII-based coordination polymer, namely poly[aqua(μ6-biphenyl-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarboxylato)(μ2-4,4′-bipyridine)dizinc(II)], [Zn2(C16H6O8)(C10H8N2)(H2O)2] n or [Zn2(m,m-bpta)(4,4′-bipy)(H2O)2] n , was synthesized from a mixture of biphenyl-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarboxylic acid [H4(m,m-bpta)], 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) and Zn(NO3)2·6H2O under solvothermal conditions. The title complex has been structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction analysis, and features a μ6-coordination mode. The ZnII ions adopt square-pyramidal geometries and are bridged by two syn–syn carboxylate groups to form [Zn2(COO)2] secondary buildding units (SBUs). The SBUs are crosslinked by (m,m-bpta)4− ligands to produce a two-dimensional grid-like layer that exhibits a stair-like structure along the a axis. Adjacent layers are linked by 4,4′-bipy ligands to form a three-dimensional network with a {44.610.8}{44.62} topology. In the solid state, the complex displays a strong photoluminescence and an excellent solvent stability. In addition, the luminescence sensing results indicate a highly selective and sensitive sensing for Fe3+ ions.

Their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and further characterised by elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy. Complex 1 exhibits a trinodal (4,4,4)-connected topology with Schläfli symbol of (4.62.83)4.(64.82). Complex 2 is also a three-dimensional structure and displays a (3,4,6)-connected topology with Schläfli symbol of (4.62)2.(42.66.85.102).(64.82). It is shown that the asymmetrically tricarboxylate can bear diverse structures regulated by metal ions. The photoluminescence behaviours of compounds 1 and 2 were also discussed.

Three coordination polymers [Sr(p-H2MOPhIDC)2]n (1) (p-H3MOPhIDC = 2-p-methoxyphenyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid), {[Cd2(p-HMOPhIDC)2(4,4′-bipy)]⋅H2O}n (4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine) (2), and [Zn(p-HMOPhIDC)(4,4′-bipy)]n (3) have been solvothermally synthesized, and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Polymer 1 indicates a three-dimensional framework, which can be simplified as a 6-connected lattice. Polymer 2 is also a three-dimensional framework, and contains mixed bridging ligands HMOPhIDC2– and 4,4′-bipy. Polymer 3 exhibits a sheet structure bearing infinite rectangles. The coordination modes of the p-H3MOPhIDC ligand, and the thermal and solid-state photoluminescence properties of the polymers have been investigated as well.

Three series of lanthanide coordination polymers, namely catena-poly[[lanthanide(III)-μ2-(benzene-1,2-dicarboxylato)-μ2-[2-(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin-4′-yl)benzoato]] monohydrate], {[Ln(C8H4O4)(C22H14N3O2)]·H2O} n or {[Ln(1,2-bdc)(L)]·H2O} n , with lanthanide (Ln) = dysprosium (Dy, 1), holmium (Ho, 2) and erbium (Er, 3), poly[bis(μ2-benzene-1,3-dicarboxylato)bis[μ2-2-(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin-4′-yl)benzoato]dilanthanide(III)], [Ln2(C8H4O4)2(C22H14N3O2)2] n or [Ln2(1,3-bdc)2(L)2] n , with Ln = gadolinium (Gd, 4), Ho (5) and Er (6), and poly[(μ2-benzene-1,4-dicarboxylato)[μ2-2-(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin-4′-yl)benzoato]lanthanide(III)], [Ln(C8H4O4)(C22H14N3O2)] n or [Ln(1,4-bdc)(L)] n , with Ln = Dy (7), Ho (8), Er (9) and ytterbium (Yb, 10), were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1–3 possess one-dimensional loop chains with Ln2(COO)2 units, which are extended into three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structures by π–π interactions. Isostructural compounds 5 and 6 show 6-connected 3D networks, with pcu topology consisting of Ln2(COO)2 units. Compounds 7–10 display 8-connected 3D frameworks with the topological type rob, consisting of Ln2(COO)2 units. The influence of the coordination orientations of the aromatic dicarboxylate groups on the crystal structures is discussed.

The coordination polymers {Mg[Fe(L)(CN)5]}n·0.5nH2O and {MgCu2(CH3COO)6}n [L = bis( N-imidazolyl)methane] have been synthesised. X-ray diffraction revealed that {Mg[Fe(L)(CN)5]}n·0.5nH2O has a one-dimensional neutral chain structure consisting of alternating [Mg(L)2(H2O)2)]2+ species and [Fe(L)(CN)5]2– building blocks, which can be further linked into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure by inter-chain p–p interactions. {MgCu2(CH3COO)6}n has a three-dimensional network with the [MgCu2(CH3COO)6] unit as neutral core extended by Mg–O bonds. Magnetic susceptibility studies on {MgCu2(CH3COO)6}n revealed antiferromagnetic interactions between adjacent Cu(II) ions.

In coordination chemistry and crystal engineering, many factors influence the construction of coordination polymers and the final frameworks depend greatly on the organic ligands used. The diverse coordination modes of N-donor ligands have been employed to assemble metal–organic frameworks. Carboxylic acid ligands can deprotonate completely or partially when bonding to metal ions and can also act as donors or acceptors of hydrogen bonds; they are thus good candidates for the construction of supramolecular architectures. We synthesized under reflux or hydrothermal conditions two new alkaline earth(II) complexes, namely poly[(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)bis(μ-3-phenylprop-2-enoato-κ3O,O′:O)calcium(II)], [Ca(C10H7O2)2(C10H8N2)]n, (1), and poly[(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)(μ3-3-phenylprop-2-enoato-κ4O:O,O′:O′)(μ-3-phenylprop-2-enoato-κ3O,O′:O)barium(II)], [Ba(C10H7O2)2(C10H8N2)]n, (2), and characterized them by FT–IR and UV–Vis spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, as well as by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis. Complex (1) features a chain topology of type 2,4 C4, where the Ca atoms are connected by O and N atoms, forming a distorted bicapped trigonal prismatic geometry. Complex (2) displays chains of topology type 2,3,5 C4, where the Ba atom is nine-coordinated by seven O atoms of bridging/chelating carboxylate groups from two cinnamate ligands and by two N atoms from one phenanthroline ligand, forming a distorted tricapped prismatic arrangement. Weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions between phenanthroline ligands are responsible to the formation of a supramolecular three-dimensional network. The thermal decompositions of (1) and (2) in the temperature range 297–1173 K revealed that they both decompose in three steps and transform to the corresponding metal oxide.

AbstractTwo coordination polymers, {[Co(bipmo)(tbip)]·3H2O}n (1) and {[Cd(bipmo)(tbip)]·3H2O}n (2) (bipmo=bis(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone, H2tbip=5-tert-butylisophthalic acid), were synthesized by solvothermal methods and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data indicate that the solid state structures of 1 and 2 consist of metal-aromatic carboxylate layers, which are pillared by weak interactions to generate a three-dimensional network. The topological structures of 1 and 2 are uninodal nets based on 3-connected nodes with the Schläfli symbol of {63}.

The three-dimensional molecular structure of 2′,3′-dimethyl-3,5-diiodo-D,L-thyronine (2′,3′-DMT2) has been determined by X-ray diffraction in order to establish the conformational characteristics responsible for biological activity in thyroid hormone analogues. Crystals of 2′,3′-DMT2 hydrochoride hydrate are monoclinic with cell dimensions a = 29.76, b = 6.84, c = 24.09 Å, β = 91.4°, space group C2/c with Z = 8 molecules per cell. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier techniques and refined by least squares. The atoms comprising the alanine portion of the molecule are disordered but the conformation of the diphenyl ether rings is clear: the β-ring 2′-methyl and 3′-methyl groups are situated distal to the α-ring. Thus the conformation postulated for this compound in biological tests of fixed-conformation thyromimetics is now structurally supported.
