Structural Diversity and Luminescent Properties of Metal-organic Frameworks Based on a Rare Sulfonate and Imidazole Co-Ligand System

Four types of luminescent properties of metal-organic frameworks（MOFs） with formulas [Cd（1,2-BIYB）2（H2O）2]n·n（AQ-1,5-DAD）（1）, [Cd（AQ-1,5-DAD）（1,3-BIYB）2]n（2）, [Cd（1,3-BIYB）]n·n（AQ-1,5-DAD）·n H2O（3）, and [Zn（1,4-BIYB）2]n·n（AQ-1,5-DAD）2·6H2O（4）,（Na2AQ-1,5-DAD = anthraquinone-1,5-disulfonic acid disodium, 1,2-BIYB = 1,2-bis（imidazol-1-ylmethyl）benzene, 1,3-BIYB = 1,3-bis（imidazol-1-ylmethyl）benzene, 1,4-BIYB = 1,4-bis（imidazol-1-ylmethyl）benzene） have been synthesized based on a rare sulfonate and imidazole Co-ligand system under different conditions. The structural features of four types of MOFs 1-4 are as follows： MOFs 1 show a 3D supramolecular compound in which the double one-dimensional chains are further cross-linked by hydrogen bonds. 2 exhibits a 2D network constructed by two different 1D chains. 3 features a 2D supramolecular network, in which the 1D chains and AQ-1,5-DAD are arranged alternately through hydrogen bonds. 4 posseses a 3D supramolecular structure constructed by a 2D network and one-dimensional hydrogen bonding chains. All compounds 1-4 are characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The luminescence properties of 1-4 have been investigated.

Structural Diversity and Photoluminescent Properties of Two Mn(Ⅱ) Sulfoterephthalate Complexes from Multi-pyridine N-containing Ligands

Solvothermal reaction of manganese（II） salt with monosodium 2-sulfoterephthalate（2-NaH2stp） and two multi-pyridine N-containing auxiliary ligands results in the formation of two new complexes formulated with [Mn2（Hstp）2（bpp）2（H2O）4]（1） and [Mn3（stp）2（tpy）3（H2O）]（H2O）5（2）（bpp = benz-2,3-pyrimidine-[2,3-f]-1,10-phenanthroline, tpy = 2,2＇：6＇,2＇＇-terpyridine）. X-ray diffraction structural analyses of two complexes reveal their structural diversity（0D and 1D） due to the difference of auxiliary ligands. 1 is a discrete structure, in which the Mn（Ⅱ） ion is hexa-coordinated with one stp, one bpp ligand and two water molecules. Complex 2 is a one-dimensional（1D） chain-like structure with three crystallographically independent Mn（Ⅱ） ions. The photoluminescent properties could be assigned to the π-π＊ transition of 2-sulfoterephthalate ligands.

Pyrosequencing-based assessment of bacterial community structure in mine soils affected by mining subsidence

Based on the 454 pyrosequencing approach, this research evaluated the influence of coal mining subsi- dence on soil bacterial diversity and community structure in Chinese mining area. In order to characterize the bacterial community comparatively, this study selected a field experiment site with coal-excavated subsidence soils and an adjacent site with non-disturbed agricultural soils, respectively. The dataset com- prises 24512 sequences that are affiliated to the 7 phylogenetic groups： proteobacteria, actinobacteria, bacteroidetes, gemmatimonadetes, chlorofiexi, nitrospirae and unclassified phylum. Proteobacteria is the largest bacterial phylum in all samples, with a marked shift of the proportions of alpha-, beta-, and gammaproteobacteria. The results show that undisturbed soils are relatively more diverse and rich than subsided soils, and differences in abundances of dominant taxonomic groups between the two soil groups are visible. Compared with the control, soil nutrient contents decline achieves significant level in subsided soils. Correlational analysis showed bacterial diversity indices have significantly positive corre- lation with soil organic matter, total N, total P, and available K. but in negative relation with soil salinity. Ground subsidence noticeably affects the diversity and composition of soil microbial community. Degen- eration of soil fertility and soil salinization inhibits the sole-carbon-source metabolic ability of microbial community, leading to the simplification of advantage species and uneven distribution of microbial spe- cies. This work demonstrates the great potential of pyrosequencing technique in revealing microbial diversity and presents background information of microbial communities of mine subsidence land.
