Supramolecular assembly of three d^(10) metal coordination polymers based on the naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylate ligand:Syntheses,structures and luminescent properties

Three d10 tetranuclear complexes,Cd 4(1,8-nap) 4(2,2′-bipy) 4(H2O) 8·6H2O(1,8-nap=naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylate and 2,2′bipy=2,2′-bipyridine)(1),Cd4(1,8-nap) 4(2,2′-bipy) 4(H2O) 8·6H2O(2) andZn4(1,8-nap) 4(2,2′-bipy) 4(H2O) 4·2H2O(3),have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analyses,IR and X-ray diffraction techniques. Complexes 1 and 2 are isomers showing one-dimensional ribbon-like structures connected by O-H···O hydrogen bonds,and the one-dimensional ribbons are further linked into the three-dimensional network by π-πstacking.In complex 3,the intramolecular O-H···O hydrogen bonds just exist in the inner of the single molecule ring to consolidate its structure,and the single molecules are further linked into a two-dimensional layer structure by the π-πstacking interactions.The luminescent properties reveal that all the complexes display luminescent properties in the violet region.
