Helical Coordination Polymer with a 3-Fold Interpenetration Structure Based on 5-(Hydroxymethyl)isophthalic Acid

5-（Hydroxymethyl） isophthalic acid （H2HIA） as a novel organic ligand was prepared from 3,5-bis（methoxycarbonyl）benzoic acid by a two-step method. And then, a 3D helical coor- dination polymer with a 3-fold interpenetration structure, namely [Zn1/2（HIA）1/2（DPEE）1/2]n （1）, was hydrothermally synthesized at 160 ℃, using H2HIA ligands to assemble with DPEE ligands and Zn2＋ ions. Complex 1 crystalizes in orthorhombic system, space group Pnna, with a = 8.2118（5）, b = 17.1698（7）, c =14.9922（7） ？, V = 2113.82（18） ？3, μ = 1.194 mm-1, Z = 4 and S = 0.967. Moreover, some physical characteristics of complex 1, such as powder X-ray diffraction （PXRD）, thermogravimetry analyses （TGA） and photoluminescent properties, were also investigated.

Chiral electron deficient ruthenium helical coordination polymer as a catalyst for the epoxidation of substituted styrenes

An air and moisture stable ruthenium（Ⅲ） formate complex[Ru（HCO2）Cl2]n has been synthesized and examined in the epoxidation of substituted styrenes.X-ray crystallographic data of this complex were determined and showed that the formate ligand coordinates to the ruthenium centers in a μ~2-η~2 fashion（syn,syn）.Its asymmetric unit contains one Ru（Ⅲ） ion together with the half of a formate ligand and one chloride anion,which are bridged between the metal centers,forming a 1-D chain coordination polymer.This electron deficient helical coordination polymer was employed in the epoxidation of parafluorostyrene,affording the epoxide product in 92%yield.Natural chirality of this coordination polymer is applicable in asymmetric epoxidation reactions.

Syntheses,Structures,and Photoluminescent Properties of Two Zn(Ⅱ)Coordination Polymers with Helical Chains Structures

Two novel coordination polymers with helical chains, {[Zn（L）（H2O）]·H2O}n（1） and {[Zn（L）（p-bix）]·3.5H2O}n（2）, where H2 L = 5-（4-hydroxypyridinium-1-ylmethyl） isophthalic acid and p-bix = 1,4-bis（imidazol-1-ylmethyl）benzene, have been hydrothermally synthesized, and charac-terized by elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction（PXRD）, IR, thermal gravimetric analyses（TGA） and also by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both complexes 1 and 2 crystallize inmonoclinic, space group P21/c. Compound 1 displays a two-dimensional（2D） structure with two distinct types of helical chains; 2 shows a layered coordination polymer with two types of helical chains and features an interesting 2D→3D interdigitated architecture. Meanwhile, the luminescent properties of 1 and 2 have also been investigated in detail.

A new AgO） coordination polymer, {[Ag（1,3-BIP）（H20）][Ag（1,3- BIP）（PMA）0.5.- 4H20}n （PMA = 1,2,4,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, 1,3-BIP = 1,3-bis（imidazole）propane）, have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder XRD, FTIR, TGA and elemental analysis techniques. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the title complex is formed by 1D polymeric cationic chains of [Ag（1,3-BIP）（H2O）]n^n＋ and 2D polymetric anionic layer of [Ag（1,3-BIP）（PMA）0.5]n^n-, which are further linked by intermolecular H-bonding to form a 3D supramolecular framework. In addition, the photoluminescence property of the title complex in the solid state at room temperature was also investigated.

Structure and Photochemical Properties of a Chiral Cd Coordination Polymer Based on 4,4'-(Hexafluoroisopropylidene)Bis(benzoic acid)and 1,3-Di(pyridineyl)benzene

One new chiral metal-organic coordination polymer,[Cd2（dpb）（H2hfipbb）2]n,was obtained under hydrothermal conditions of 1,3-di（pyridineyl）benzene（dpb） and 4,4＇-（hexafluoroisopropylidene）bis（benzoic acid）（H2hfipbb）. The title compound reveals a three-dimensional（3D） framework with two types of helical chains [Cd（COO）]n,which are linked each other to further form a double helical chain [Cd2（COO）2]n by sharing the same Cd（Ⅱ） ions. The dpb connects the double helical chains to generate a 3D framework. These unique structures were studied by single-crystal X-ray and other spectroscopy techniques. In addition,the luminescent,fluorescence lifetime and second harmonic generation efficiency properties in the solid state have been studied.

Circularly polarized luminescence of coordination aggregates

The development and applications of materials with efficient circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)have become an interdisciplinary frontier research topic.We summarize herein the recent advance in the development and applications of CPLactive aggregates based on metal-ligand coordination materials(termed as“coordination aggregates”).The materials surveyed are classified as aggregates of smallmolecular metal complexes,which include monocomponent assemblies of Pt(II)complexes and other complexes and binary aggregates of metal complexes,and CPL-active metal-ligand coordination helicates,polymers,and frameworks.The efforts in improving the dissymmetry luminescence factors and quantum yields of these materials and the use of the aggregation strategy in enhancing the performance of isolated molecules are discussed.The recent applications of chiral metal complexes in circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)based on solution-or evaporation-processed procedures are surveyed.In addition,the uses of lanthanide complexes in CPL-contrast imaging and as CPL probes are highlighted.The common discussion on the mechanism of aggregation-enhanced CPLs and a perspective on future works of CPL-active coordination aggregates are finally given.
