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.

A Novel 3D Cd-based Luminescence Metal-organic Framework: Synthesis, Structure and Luminescent Sensing Properties

A three-dimensional(3 D) Cd-based metal-organic framework(MOF), [Cd(H2 O)(PAA)]·(H2 O)2(complex 1) has been rationally designed and synthesized by using 4-(pyrimidin-5-yl)isophthalic acid(H2 PAA) and Cd(NO3)2·4 H2 O under solvothermal conditions. The structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD) and thermogravimetric analyses(TGA). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that complex 1 consists of a 3 D network with one-dimensional(1 D) channels. Moreover, 1 exhibits strong luminescent emission in solid state at room temperature. Fluorescence quenching was observed when treating complex 1 with picric acid(PA), 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine(2,4-DNPH) and p-nitroaniline(p-NA), revealing that the as-synthesized complex could be used as a luminescence sensor for the detection of PA, 2,4-DNPH and p-NA.
