The complex 1 [Zn(BTC)2/3 ] ⋅ [HCON(CH3)2] ⋅ [C2H5OH]}n(1) was prepared from 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3 BTC) and Zn(H) cation via a solvothermal technique. The complex 1 was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and fluorescence spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that complex 1 belongs to space group P21/n of the monoclinic system. In complex 1, the Zn(II) ion is coordinated with BTC3- anion through the oxygen atom on the carboxyl group, forming a three-dimensional Zn(II) metal-organic framework (MOF) structure with channels. And through intermolecular hydrogen bond interaction, ethanol and N, N'-dimethylformamide (DMF) molecules are encapsulated into parallelogram channels. Fluorescence spectrum analysis at room temperature shows that when the excitation wavelength is 297 nm, complex 1 has the strongest emission peak at 601 nm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Three compounds were synthesized and characterized based on the same viologen ligand and different metal salts. Although their range of applications is basically similar, their different internal structures result in different light response rates. [Display omitted] • Three new multifunctional viologen coordination polymers have been synthesized. • Three compounds all exhibit high sensitivity to UV light. • In the process of detecting ammonia, the three compounds showed excellent stimulus response ability. • The ability of the three compounds to detect different concentrations of Cr 2 O 7 2-anions was further verified by fluorescence quenching effect.

Furthermore, CPs 1 , 2 , and 3 display a unique sensitivity to different concentrations of Cr 2 O 7 2- anion solutions. When immersed in these solutions, the compounds exhibit varying degrees of fluorescence quenching effects, allowing for the monitoring of even the lowest ion concentrations. Additionally, upon exposure to ammonia vapor, the three compounds undergo a color change from yellow to dark brown, indicating their sensitivity to ammonia vapor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Two new compounds were synthesized. • These two compounds can be used to detect Cr 2 O 7 2−. • Compound 2 exhibits ammonia sensing properties. Two new Zn (II)-viologen chromic compounds, named {[(4-BCBPY) 0.5 (HIPA)]·H 2 O} n (1) and {[Zn 3 (IPA) 4 (4-BCBPY)]·2H 2 O} n (2) (4-BCBPY2+ = 1,1′-bis(4-cyanobenzyl)-4,4′-bipyridinium dication, H 2 IPA = isophthalic acid) have been synthesized through varying reaction conditions. Structural analysis reveals that compound 1 possesses a supramolecular compound, while compound 2 exhibits a metal-organic framework (MOF) structure built from trinuclear metal building units. Under the irradiation of a 300 W Xe lamp, compound 1 undergoes a color change from orange to brown, while compound 2 transitions from yellow to green.

Three compounds based on bcbpy ligands were designed. These compounds have photochromic/ammonia properties, and the response rate is affected by intermolecular D-A distance, hydrogen bond and π-π interaction. Among them, 1 and 3 can be used for ammonia/Cr 2 O 7 2- anion detection and ink-free erasable printing, respectively. [Display omitted] • Three multi stimulus response compounds were designed and synthesized, and their structures were studied. • Compounds 1 – 3 showed discoloration to light and ammonia vapor. • Compound 1 can be used as ammonia vapor and Cr 2 O 7 2- anion sensor. • Compound 3 can be applied in the field of ink-free erasable printing.

Interestingly, it has been found that the structure of the three compounds depends on metal salts. All three compounds exhibited photochromic properties under the irradiation of a 300 W xenon lamp, compound 1 changed from yellow to dark green, compound 2 changed from light yellow to blue, and compound 3 changed from light gray to blue. Due to the influence of intermolecular D-A distance, π-π interaction, intermolecular hydrogen bond and metal ions, there are sensing differences among the three compounds, and their light response rates are 1 > 2 > 3. It is worth noting that all three compounds produce color changes under ammonia vapor, and the fluorescence quenching effect of compound 1 can also be observed under the action of Cr 2 O 7 2- anion.

The two coordination polymers have good reversible photochromic properties and ammonia sensing properties. Complexes 1 and 2 exhibit a difference in sensing, with a response rate of 2 > 1 to light. [Display omitted] • Two metal coordination polymers were designed and synthesized, and their structures were studied. • Complexes 1 and 2 both exhibit stimuli-responsive properties to light, have photochromic properties. • Complexes 1 and 2 are sensitive to ammonia vapor and can be further explored in the field of ammonia sensing. Synthesized two supramolecular coordination polymers, {Cd 3 [(bcbpy) 3 Cl 6 ]·8H 2 O} n (1) (bcbpy = 1,1′-bis(3-carboxybenzyl)-4,4′-bipyridinium) and {Zn[(bcbpy) 0.5 (nip)]·H 2 O} n (2) (nip2- = 5-nitroisophthalic acid anion), showed good photochromic properties when both coordination polymers changed from yellow to dark green under light stimulation, and the primary color could be restored at 85–95 °C for 60 min, this reversible cycle can be repeated more than 5 times. This photochromism is caused by photoinduced electron transfer to viologen free radicals. In addition, in ammonia vapor, both complexes changed from yellow to tan, showing good ammonia sensing characteristics. Research has found that complexes 1 and 2 exhibit sensing differences, with a response rate to light of 2 > 1. This sensing difference is mainly related to the D-A distance between molecules, π-π interactions, and the regulatory effect of metal ions or secondary ligands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
