Metal-organic frameworks derived from divalent metals and 4-(1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl)benzoic acid

Two inorganic-organic coordination polymers, [Cd(TBA)2]·3H2O (1) and [Cu(TBA)2]·2H2O (2) have been synthesized by reaction of the metal ions of Cd(II) and Cu(II) with the ligand HTBA [HTBA = 4- (1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl)benzoic acid] under solvothermal condition. The compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The structural analyses reveal the two independent polymers exhibit different structures. Complex 1 exhibits a 3D framework with 1D channels, and complex 2 shows a 2-fold interpenetrating 3D diamond net.

Crystal Structure and Theoretical Studies of Tetrahytrate(1-H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dicarboxylicacid)nickel

A new compound, [Ni（Hdctrz）（H2O）4]（1, H3dctrz = 1-H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acid）, has been successfully synthesized via slow evaporation. The structure of 1 was characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 6.871（1）, b = 11.468（1）, c = 12.178（1） A, b = 101.291（1）o, V = 941.01（16） A3, Z = 4, C4H9N3O8Ni, Mr = 285.85, Dc = 2.018 g·cm–3, m = 2.10 mm–1, F（000） = 584, GOOF = 1.025, the final R = 0.0515 and wR = 0.2125 for 1404 observed reflections（I 〉 2s（I））. The crystal structure is assembled by a slightly distorted {NiNO5} octahedral geometry and hydrogen bonds viz. N–H…O, O–H…O, C–O…π and π···π weak interactions. A rare π···π interaction from triazolate and carboxylate is affirmed through the molecular orbitals（MO） of three adjacent Ni CN molecules. The 3D Hirshfeld surface analysis was employed to gain additional insight into the interactions responsible for the packing of compound 1. Quantitative examination of 2D fingerprint plots revealed, amongst others, the dominating participation of O···H, N···H and π···π interactions in the molecular packing.

Syntheses and Characterization of Two New Alkaline Earth Metal-organic Topological Frameworks with 3-Amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxylate

Two new alkaline earth metal coordination polymers constructed from the deriva-tive of 1,2,4-triazole are presented herein,namely,{[Sr（AmTAZAc）2（H2O）]}（1） and {[Ba（AmTAZAc）2（H2O）]}（2）（AmTAZAc = 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxylate）,which have been synthesized by using the layering method and structurally characterized by elemental analysis,IR,and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Complexes 1 and 2 are isostructural,and both crystallize in the orthorhombic system,space group Fdd2.X-ray structural analysis shows that 1 or 2 has an intriguing 3-D infinite network of（318.438.510） topology based on a 2-D sheet structure of（4,4） net.The result shows that noncovalent interactions play an important role in strengthening the whole structures of the compounds.

Synthesis and characterization of two novel coordination polymers based on the rigid 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid ligand

Two novel three-dimensional (3-D) coordination polymers, [Pb(HTDA)]n (1) and [Co5(TDA)2(H2TDA)2(H2O)8]n (2) [H3TDA = 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid], have been prepared by hydrothermal reactions and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is constructed from rod-shaped secondary building units (SBUs) and exhibits a 3-D network with (410·65)(410·63·82) topology. Compound 2 is built up from ligands bridging three different cobalt ions and exhibits a 3-D network with (4·82)3(4·82·103) topology. In addition, the thermal stabilities of the two compounds, the photoluminescence properties of compound 1 and the magnetic properties of compound 2 have been studied.
