Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure of Coordination Polymers Developed as Anion Receptor
Reaction of diamide ligand, namelyN,N’-2,6-bis (4-pyridylmethyl) pyridine dicarboxamide (L) with cadmium nitrate and cadmium perchlorate has given rise to the formation of two types coordination polymers. Compound (CP1-Cd) with formula molecule {[Cd (L)2(H2O)2](NO3)2·6H2O}nis a one-dimensional coordination polymer while compound (CP2-Cd), with formula molecule {[Cd (L)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·31⁄2H2O.CH3OH}n, is a two dimensional coordination polymer. These coordination polymers were preparedviaslow evaporation methods and completely characterized by combination of solid state techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. This study revealed that coordination polymers derived fromN,N’-2,6-bis (4-pyridylmethyl) pyridine dicarboxamide can accommodate anions with different sizes, showing good potential as anion receptor.
