The monomer 3-trichlorosilylpropoxy-4-bromobenzene (M) was first prepared via hydrosilylation reaction catalyzed by dicyclopentadienylplatinum dichloride (Cp2PtCl2). The title polymer (L) was characterized by 1H-NMR, 29Si-NMR, FTIR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), DSC and vapor pressure osmometry (VPO). The experimental results indicate that the polymer (L) possesses a typical ladder-like structure.展开更多

The crystal is of triclinic, space group P1 with a = 10.266(2), b = 11.573(2), c = 12.651(3) A, α = 89.95(3), β= 74.64(3),γ = 68.54(3)°, C50H44Cd4N12O18, Mr = 1550.57, V= 1341.1(5)A3, Dc = 1.920 g/cm3, F(000) = 764, p = 1.651 cm-1 and Z = 1. The final refinement gave R = 0.0342 and wR = 0.0738 for 5925 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ(I). The crystal structure involves two different ladder-like chains, which are further connected to form a ladder-like double chain architecture via hydrogen bonding interactions, extending along the b axis. The weak interactions including hydrogen bonds and π-π staking interactions contribute to the alignment of the complex in the crystalline state.展开更多

Compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 7.474(1), b = 17.807(1), c = 18.851(1) A, β = 108.32(1)°, V = 2381.7(2) A3, Z = 4, C16H32CI2Cu2Ns, Mr = 534.48, Dc = 1.491 g.cm-3,μ = 2.03 mm-1, F(000) = 1104, GOOF = 1.050, the final R = 0.0445 and wR = 0.1162 for 3162 observed reflections (I 〉 2σ(I)). Compound 1 shows discrete dimeric structures (A and B) containing inversion centers and the Cu(l) ions are coordinated in triangle geometries. The isomers are connected by N-H…CI hydrogen bonds, chains with graph-set C(7) and rings R22(14) and C-H..'Jr interactions into stair-step chains (Tapes A and B) running parallel to the [01-1] direction. The N-H…C1 hydrogen bonds result in chain and cyclic structures with graph-sets C22(17) and R34(18) linking tapes A and B to form two-dimensional networks along the [031] direction. Packing of crystal 1 is stabilized by rings R34(18) and weak C-H…C1 hydrogen bonds parallel to the [01-2] direction. Bond valence sum (BVS) and UV-Vis absorption spectra support the existence of Cu(I) ions. Compound 1 exhibits extensive green blue phosphorescence in the solid state at room temperature.展开更多
