A copper(II) coordination polymer, [Cu3(HOA)2(bpp)4]n (1, H4OA = 3,3′,4,4′-oxidiphthalic acid, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl) propane), has been hydrothermally synthesized. The crystal structure is of monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 11.544(3), b = 16.129(4), c = 21.181(6) , β = 98.848(5), V = 3897.0(2) 3, C84O18N8H70Cu3, Mr = 1670.13, Z = 2, Dc = 1.423 g/cm3, F(000) = 1722, μ = 0.887 mm-1 , R = 0.0878 and wR = 0.2583 for 8496 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis reveals that 1 is a three-dimensional (3D) framework based on a two-dimensional (2D) mesomeric layer of alternating left-and right-handed helical chains. The monodentate terminal and bidentate bridging bpp ligands in the same conformation are all encapsulated in the figure-of-eight-shaped channels, thus further stabilizing the whole three-dimen-sional framework.
A new luminescent Cd(Ⅱ) compound, [Cd3(OABDC)2(bipy)2(H2O)2]n (1, H3OABDC = 5-oxyacetateisophthalic acid, bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine), has been prepared by the assembly of Cd(Ⅱ) salt with the mixed ligands of H3OABDC and 4,4'-bipy under hydrothermal conditions. The crystal structure is of monoclinic, space group P2/n with a = 13.6730(5), b = 10.1265(3), c = 15.9752(4) , β = 103.061(3)o, V = 2154.70(11) 3, C40H34Cd3N4O18, Mr = 1195.94, Z = 2, Dc = 1.843 g/cm3, F(000) = 1180, μ = 1.549 mm-1, the final R = 0.0409 and wR = 0.1291 for 2746 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis reveals that compound 1 features a self-penetrating two-dimensional (2D) layered structure. According to topology analysis, this 2D framework can be characterized as a (3,4)-connected (6.72)2 (62.8)2 (73.8.102) net that has never been reported before. Finally, these 2D layers are further linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π…π interactions to form a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework. Moreover, Compound 1 exhibits strong blue photoluminescence at room temperature.
