MnII and CoII salts reacting with 4-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,2′:6′,4″-terpyridine (4-Hcptpy) in DMF/H2O afford two complexes, [Mn(4-cptpy)(DMF)(H2O)2] n ·n(4-cptpy)·nDMF (1) and [Co(4-cptpy)2(H2O)2] n (2). Complex 1 is a 1D ribbon coordination polymer assembled by Mn2 dimer and tridentate 4-cptpy ligand. The guest 4-cptpy anion is embedded in 3D supramolecular architecture with strong hydrogen bonds. Complex 2 is a 1D linear chain coordination polymer with quadrangled pores. The complex 1 releases H2O and DMF in 87–150°C, and the anhydrous [Mn(4-cptpy)] n ·n(4-cptpy) remains thermally stable until 403°C. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility study in 2–300K proves that a weak antiferromagnetic interaction exists in the (μ-O2CR)2Mn2 core. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hydrothermal reactions of AgNO 3 , K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] with N-heterocyclic ligands afforded three novel Ag(I)–cyanide coordination polymers, [Ag 2 (CN) 2 (tpt)] n ( 1 ), {[Ag(CN)(bpe) 0.5 ][Ag(CN)]} n ( 2 ) and [Ag(CN)(btmb) 0.5 ] n ( 3 ) (tpt = 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine, bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane, btmb = 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene). In complex 1 , two Ag(CN) linear chains are bridged by bidentate tpt ligand to form a ladder-like structure, which are further connected by Ag Ag metal bond to generate a 2D polymeric network. Complex 2 is an interesting 3D supramolecular architecture assembled by 2D [Ag 1 (CN)(bpe) 0.5 ] n network and linear [Ag 2 (CN)] n chain combined by strong Ag Ag metal bond. Complex 3 is a 1D ladder-like double-chain polymer constructed from Ag–cyanide linear chains and btmb spacer, which is further extended to a 2D supramolecular network by Ag–Ag weak interaction. The Ag–Ag metal interactions play important roles in the construction of three coordination polymers. Complexes 1 and 2 are respectively thermally stable at 300 and 180 °C. Complexes 1 and 3 emit strong blue luminescence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Hydrothermal reaction of CuCN, K3[Fe(CN)6] and 1,10-phenanthroline affords a novel cyanide-bridged copper(I) coordination polymer [Cu3(CN)3(phen)] n (1). The complex displays an interesting one-dimensional neutral double helical framework with (phen)Cu–CN– side-arms as interchain bridges. The double helical chains are close packed in a parallel fashion, and the phen ligands stack in an interpenetrating mode, which leads to π–π interactions between parallel phen planes. The thermal stability and fluorescent property have also been investigated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Two new three-dimensional (3D) coordination polymer [Cu2(tetrazolate)3(OH)] n (1) and [Cd2(tetrazolate)3Br] n (2) were synthesized and structurally characterized. By the topology analysis, the complicated architecture of 1 and 2 are all simplified to be the 6-connected pcu-type net. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities (5–300K) of 1 shows antiferromagnetic interactions of copper(II) ions bridged tetrazolate ligands and/or hydroxide anion. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Two novel three-dimensional (3D) coordination polymers (1) and ·nH2O (2) (mtta=5-methyltetrazolate, trz=1,2,4-triazole) were synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 shows a 3D porous metal–organic framework. By the topology analysis, the complicated architecture of 1 can be simplified to be the 4-connected diamond-type net. Compound 2 is a two-fold interpenetrating 3,5-connected 3D framework with new topology. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Employing N-benzoyl-salicylhydrazide (H3bzshz) and imidazole (Himdz) as mixed ligands, a novel linear trinuclear Ni(II) complex [Ni3(bzshz)2(Himdz)2(H2O)2]·2DMF (1) has been synthesized and characterized. The three nickel atoms in 1 arrange in a strictly linear structure. The complex exhibits a novel 3D hydrogen bonding framework through the intermolecular Oxb7;·O and Nxb7;·O hydrogen bonding interactions. The magnetic property of 1 has been investigated by variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Two new azide complexes, [Cd2(3-abpt)(N3)4] n (1) and [Cu(3-abpt)2(N3)2] (2) (3-abpt = 4-amino-3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole), have been prepared and structurally characterized. Complex 1 displays an interesting 2D polymeric structure with rarely reported 3,7-connected (32;4)(34;46;56;65) network in the Schafli notation. Complex 2 contains mononuclear pieces, and they are linked each other through weak Cu⋯N coordination bonds to form a 2D sheet with (4,4) topology. The thermal stability and fluorescent property of 1 have also been investigated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
