Syntheses, Crystal Structures and Properties of Two Metal-organic Complexes Based on 5-(4-Pyridyl)-methoxyl Isophthalic Acid

Two new metal-organic frameworks, [Co3L2（NO2）2（H2O）2],, （1） and{[Ni（L）（H2O）5] （H2O）2.DMF}, （2, H2L = 5-（4-pyridyl）-methoxyl isophthalic acid）, have been synthesized by the hydrothermal method and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） and X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P2/c and adopts a slightly distorted octahedral configuration. In compound 1, the 2D bilayered structures are linked by O-H...O and O-H...N hydrogen bonds to form a 3D framework. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P2/n, and the central nickel atoms are octa-coordinated with five O atoms from coordinated water molecules and one N atom from one H2L ligand. The abundant O-H…O hydrogen bonds and π…π interactions link the molecules into a 3D framework. In addition, compounds 1 and 2 exhibit strong ultraviolet absorption in the solid state at room temperature.

A Zn(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer Based on a Flexible Polycarboxylate Ligand 5-(4-Hydroxypyridinium-1-ylmethyl)-isophthalic Acid: Synthesis, Structure, and Property

A Zn（Ⅱ） supramolecular coordination polymer, {[Zn2（L）2（m-bix）（H20）]6H2O}n（1）, with an interesting 1D→2D polythreading array from a flexible and angular organic aromaticpolycarboxylate ligand 5-（4-hydroxypyridinium-l-ylmethyl）isophthalic acid （H2L）, and N-donorligand 1,3-bis（imidazol-l-ylmethyl）benzene （m-bix）, has been obtained under hydrothermalconditions and characterized by elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction （PXRD）, IR, thermalgravimetric analyses （TGA） and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In 1, the Zn（Ⅱ） center has twocoordination geometries. One exhibits a trigonal bipyramidal coordination sphere, and the other isa tetrahedral geometry; L2- has two different coordination modes, with one connecting three Zn（Ⅱ）ions through two monodentate carboxylate groups and the monodentate hydroxyl group, and theother bridging two Zn（Ⅱ） ions through two carboxylate groups. The L2- anions connect the Zn（Ⅱ）centers forming an infinite 1D tubular structure. These 1D tubes are interconnected by the m-bixspacers to form a 2D framework. Such 2D layers are further assembled into a 3D supramolecularnetwork via hydrogen bonds. Meanwhile, the luminescent property of 1 has also been investigatedin detail.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a 2D Sm(Ⅲ) Coordination Polymer: {[Sm_2L_3(H_2O)_4]·(4,4?-bpy)·3H_2O}_n

A new compound, {[Sm^2L3（H2O）4]·（4,4＇-bpy）·3H2O}n（1, H2 L = 5-（3-pyridyl methoxy） isophthalic acid, 4,4＇-bpy = 4,4A-dipyridyl）, has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 11.266（2）, b = 15.530（3）, c = 16.711（3） A, α = 112.803（3）, β = 90.526（1）, γ = 94.006（3）°, V = 2686.6（9） A3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.727 g/cm^3, μ = 2.251 mm-1, F（000） = 1392, S = 0.999, the final R = 0.0296 and wR = 0.1058. In the title compound, two crystallographically independent Sm^3＋ cations are bridged by the carboxyl group of L2- ligands to form two different {Sm^2} binuclear subunits which are further connected by two distinct L2- ligands to shape a 1D chain, and such 1D chains are linked up to generate a 2D coordination polymer by another crystallographically unique L2- ligand. The thermogravimetric analysis and luminescent property of the title compound were also investigated.

Synthesis of 5-[(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)diazenyl]isophthalic acid and its application to electrocatalytic oxidation and determination of adrenaline,paracetamol,and tryptophan

In this study,Au nanoparticles/poly 5-[（2-hydroxynaphthalen-l-yl）diazenyl]isophthalic acid film modified glassy carbon electrode（AuNPs/poly（NDI）/GCE） has shown excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of adrenaline（ADR）,paracetamol（PAC）,and tryptophan（Trp）.The bare glassy carbon electrode（GCE） fails to separate the oxidation peak potentials of these molecules,while the poly（NDI） film modified electrode can resolve them.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）indicates that the charge transfer resistance of the bare electrode decreases as 5-[（2-hydroxynaphthalen-l-yl）diazenyl]isophthalic acid is electropolymerized on the bare electrode.Furthermore,EIS exhibits enhancement of electron transfer kinetics between analytes and the electrode after electrodeposition of Au nanoparticles.Differential pulse voltammetry results show that the electrocatalytic current increases linearly in the ranges of 0.01-680.0 μmol L^-1 for ADR,0.05-498.0 μmol L^-1 for PAC,and 3.0-632.0 μmol L^-1 for Trp;with detection limits（S/N = 3） of 0.009 μmol L^-1,0.005 μmol L^-1,and 0.09 μmol L^-1 for ADR,PAC,and Trp,respectively.The proposed method has been successfully applied for simultaneous determination of ADR,PAC,and Trp in biological samples.
