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.

Two Zinc Complexes Supported by in situ Formed Etheric Ligands

Two zinc complexes, [Zn(MPIP)Cl2](1) and [Zn(EPIP)Cl2](2), where MPIP = 1-(methoxymethyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine and EPIP = 1-(ethoxymethyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine, were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. The etheric ligand MPIP was formed in situ via metal ligand reaction between(3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-1-yl)methanol(HPIPM) and methanol solvent. Similarly, the ligand EPIP was generated in situ from the reaction of HPIPM with ethanol solvent. The structures of 1 and 2 were characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. They are four-coordinated mononuclear complexes, and the ZnII ion of 1 and 2 displays distorted tetrahedral geometry. The photoluminescent properties of 1 and 2 were investigated. Strong emissions were observed for both 1 and 2, which were ascribed as the intraligand(π-π*) fluorescent transitions. This paper provides a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of etheric compounds.

A Novel 3D Zn-based Luminescence Metal-organic Framework: Synthesis, Structure and Fluorescence Enhanced Sensing of Ammonia Vapor in Air

A three-dimensional(3D)zinc metal-organic framework(MOF),Zn4(μ4-O)(bcd)3(complex 1)has been synthesized by using 1-[bis(4-carboxylphenyl)methyl]-1,3-diazole(H2 bcd)and Zn(NO3)2·6 H2O under hydrothermal 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 crystallizes in trigonal system,space group R3 with a=23.0521(6),b=23.0521(6),c=15.3326(6)A,γ=120°,V=7056.2(4)A^3,Z=6,C54H36N6O13Zn4,Mr=1242.37,Dc=1.754 g/cm^3,F(000)=3756,the final R=0.0411 and wR=0.1007 for 2743 observed reflections(I>2σ(I)).Complex 1 consists of a 3D network constructed by four nuclear clusters Zn4(μ4-O)(COO)6 N3 and the bcd2-ligand.Interestingly,1 exhibits strong luminescent emission in solid state at room temperature and could be used as a qualitative fluorescence enhancing sensor for ammonia vapor in air.
