Abstract: To investigate the effect of positional isomerism of ligands on the construction of coordination polymers, three Cd(II) complexes with tripyridyltriazole tectons and thiocyanate anions have been prepared and characterized, namely, [Cd(L 4 )(μ-SCN)(SCN)] n (1), [Cd(L 5 )(SCN)2] n (2), and [Cd(L 6 )(μ-SCN)2] n (3) (L 4 =3,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-5-(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole, L 5 =3-(2-pyridyl)-4,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole, and L 6 =3-(2-pyridyl)-4-(4-pyridyl)-5-(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole. Crystal structure analysis indicates that the isomeric effect of ligands plays a crucial role in regulating the distinct 1D coordination patterns for 1–3, with the aid of the versatility of thiocyanate anion. The solid-state properties such as thermal stability and fluorescence of 1–3 have also been studied. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

A new 3D luminescence metal–organic framework with open channels was constructed by the assembling of the zwitterionic H 3 L Cl ligand and Zn(II) ions under solvothermal conditions. The compound exhibits relatively high luminescence selective sensing for Fe 3 + ions with surprisingly excellent recyclability, making it a promising candidate for sensing metal ions in practical.

Abstract: Under hydrothermal conditions using a triazole derivative ligand 3-carboxylic acid-4H-1,2,4-triazole (HL) and corresponding lead(II) salts, a novel two-dimensional(2D) lead(II) complex {[Pb(L)(μ2-Cl)(H2O)} n (1) has been isolated. In 1 Pb2Cl2(H2O)2 building blocks can be observed, which are extended by tetra-dentate coordinated L ligands to form a 2D corrugated layered structure. 1 also represents a novel example of luminescent lead(II) frameworks with triazole derivatives. Solid-state fluorescence spectrum of 1 exhibits the excited peak at 376nm while the emission peak at 604nm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The two Cd(II) and Co(II) 2-D frameworks have been prepared by means of self-assemblies of Cd(II) or Co(II) salts and 1-substituted imidazole and terephthalic acid, and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses. In complex 1 2-D frameworks with rhombic cavity are formed, in which the each top point of rhombus contains one hexa and two heptacoordinated Cd(II). In complex 2 2-D networks with rectangular cavities are formed, and the opposite benzene rings from carboxyls in each rectangular cavity are parallel. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
