Two lanthanide(Ⅲ)-copper(Ⅱ) chains based on[Cu_2Ln_2]clusters exhibiting high stability,magnetocaloric effect and slow magnetic relaxation

Two 3d-4f heterometallic one-dimensional chains with neutral 4,4＇-bipyridine ligands as linkers and[Cu2Ln2] clusters （Ln = Gd for 1, Dy for 2） as nodes have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Magnetic studies indicate that complex 1 exhibits a relatively large magnetocaloric effect, with an entropy change -△Smax m= 24.8 J kg 1 K^-1, whilst, complex 2 features slow magnetic relaxation at low temperature.

A Highly Efficient Luminescent Metal-Organic Framework with Strong Conjugate Unit for Sensing Small Molecules

Luminescent metal-organic frameworks(LMOFs)have become a promising class of fluorescence sensing materials,however,the multi-responsive LMOF sensors for organic compounds are rather rare.Herein,a water stable and highly efficient luminescent MOF with the formula of{[Zn(BBZB)(2,6-NDC)]-solvents}n(JXUST-10,BBZB=4,7-bis(1H-benzimidazole-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and 2,6-NDC=2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate)was constructed by the incorporation of Zn2+and two organic ligands(BBZB and 2,6-NDC)featuring the conjugate system.JXUST-10 is a three-dimensional two-fold interpenetrated framework with good fluorescent proper-ty.Based on the luminescent characteristic,JXUST-10 can be used as a multi-responsive sensor for detection of three different ana-lytes including tetracycline,benzaldehyde and uric acid via different luminescent change behaviours.Remarkably,fluorescence test paper and LED light devices are used to detect analytes through the visual change of luminescence colour of JXUST-10 from blue greenish to yellow greenish under ultraviolet light(365 nm)irradiation.Furthermore,the probable sensing mechanisms for three target analytes were also discussed.

[Co(NH_3)_6]_2[Cd_8(C_2O_4)_(11)(H_2O)_4]·8H_2O: A 5-connected sqp topological metal-organic framework co-templated by Co(NH_3)_6^(3+) cation and (H_2O)_4 cluster

In our efforts to construct new metal-organic frameworks （MOFs） by template-directing method, a new cadmium oxalate, [Co（NH3）612[Cds（C204）ll（H20）4].8H20 （denoted HNU-1 ）, has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition in the presence of C0（NH3）6C13, The crystal structure of HNU-1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction （monoclinic, C2/c）, a = 11.126（2）A, b = 17.361 （4）,A, c = 16.119（3）A, fi = 102.40（3）, V = 3040.8（10） A and Z = 8. The open framework of HNU-1 contains 12-ring channels and exhibits a 5-connected sqp topological network with dinuclear Cd（ll） clusters acting as nodes. The Co（NH3）63＋ cations and unusual hydrogen-bonded （H20）4 clusters are found in the 12-ring channels with an alternative arrangement. It is believed that the （H20）4 clusters play a co-templating role in the crystallization of HNU-1.

A highly stable and luminescent mononuclear Cu(Ⅰ)bis-{5-tert-butyl-3-(6-methyl-2-pyridyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole}complex

A new emissive mononuclear homoleptic Cu（Ⅰ） complex of 5-rert-butyl-3-（6-methyl-2-pyridyl）-1H-1,2,4-triazole（bmptzH）,[Cu（bmptzH）2]（ClO4）（1）,has been synthesized by treatment of[Cu（PPh_3）2（CH3CN）2]（ClO4） or [Cu（CH3CN）4]（ClO4） with the bmptzH ligand.It is revealed that complex 1 displays a distorted N4 tetrahedral arrangement formed by two bmptzH chelates,in which bmptzH adopts a neutral bidentate chelating coordination mode using the N atom of the pyridyl ring and the 4-N not 2-N atom of the 1,2,4-triazolyl ring.It is shown that complex 1 is highly stable and exhibits good luminescence properties in solution and solid states at room temperature due to the introduction of a methyl group at the ortho-position of the pyridyl ring.
