Three ZnII and CdII complexes with Y-shaped dicarboxylate ligands, namely [Zn(L1)(2,2′-bpy)2(H2O)] ·2H2O ( 1), [Zn(L1)(bpp)(H2O)] ( 2), and [Cd(L1)(H2O)] ·H2O ( 3) [H2L1 = N-phenyliminodiacetic acid, 2,2′-bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane] were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses. Compound 1 shows an hydrogen-bonded 2D network, whereas compound 2 is an infinite 1D wavy chain structure, though O-H ···O hydrogen-bonded to form a 2D network. Compound 3 displays a 2D uninodal 3-connected Shubnikov plane net with the point symbol of (4.82). Moreover, the solid-state such as thermal stabilities and fluorescence properties of 1- 3 were also investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
