Abstract: Two new nickel(II) phosphonates (H4PMIDA= N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid, H4L), one-dimensional zigzag chain (NH4)2[Ni(PMIDA)(H2O)] (1) and tetramer (H3O)8[Ni4O2(HPMIDA)4(H2O)2] (2), have been solvothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, TGA and X-ray single-crystal diffraction, and their magnetic and fluorescent properties are also reported. Compound 1 is the first chain phosphonate linked by carboxyl group in anti–anti mode based on Ni(II) and H4PMIDA ligand, and compound 2 with tetranuclear units is the first example of showing the spin-canting antiferromagnetic coupling between Ni(II) centers.

Abstract: A novel 2-D hemidirected metal-organic framework [Pb(HIDC)] n (1, H3IDC=imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, TGA, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Compound 1 is the first MOF based on Pb(II) and imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid ligand. The 2-D (3,3)-net architecture with a rare (4·82) topology is built from alternately arranged left- and right-handed helical chains bridged by HIDC2− ligand. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: A novel 3-D magnesium metal–organic framework [Mg1.5(μ5-btec) (H2O)2]·[H2N(CH3) 2]·H2O (btec=1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid) has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determination, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, IR, and photoluminescent studies.

Abstract: A new complex, [Pb2(H2O)2(HBTC)2]·3H2O (H3BTC=1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid) (1), has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition. The single-crystal analysis shows that 1 consists of 1-D double-chains with Pb(II) six-coordinated by three H3BTC and one H2O molecule with the Pb–O bond distances in the range of 2.56–2.76Å. When the Pb–O bonding limit extends from 2.76 to 2.90Å, the potential weak bonds of Pb–O can be found and the coordination number of Pb will increase from six to nine. As a result, the coordination geometry of Pb(II) transforms from hemidirected to holodirected and an infinite 3-D framework is obtained by the connection of the double-chains. The IR spectrum and the TGA–DTA curve of 1 are also reported in this paper. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
