Six hydrous Cd(II) coordination polymers based on a scorpion-like 5-(3-pyridylmethoxy)isophthalic acid (H 2 L), namely {[CdL(H 2 O)]·2H 2 O} n ( 1 ), [Cd 4 L 4 (H 2 O) 4 ] n ( 2 ), [CdL(H 2 O)] n ( 3 ), [CdL(H 2 O) 2 ] n ( 4 ), {[CdL(H 2 O)]·H 2 O} n ( 5 ) and [CdL] n ( 6 ), were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by EA, IR, PXRD, TG-DSC and X-ray structural analysis. Temperature and solvent play crucial roles in the preparation of the coordination polymers. Complexes 1 – 3 were prepared in a H 2 O-DMF (6:2) solvent system at slightly different temperature (85, 100 and 120 °C). Complexes 4 – 6 were prepared in different H 2 O-DMF solvents (6:3 and 8:2) and H 2 O-MeCN (3:6) solvent. These complexes possess different coordinated and/or lattice water molecules, and exhibit structural diversity and various topology nets. Complex 1 is a 2D double-layered coordination polymer. Complex 2 features a 3D porous framework with irl topology. Complex 3 displays a 2D double-layered network. Complex 4 is a 3D coordination polymer with sra topology. Complex 5 exhibits a 3D wave-like framework with sra topology. Complex 6 is a 3D coordination polymer with self-catenated hxg-d topology. 5-(3-Pyridylmethoxy)isophthalate adopts three types of coordination modes. These complexes exhibit higher thermal stability and emit strong luminescence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]

Abstract: Hydrothermal reaction of CuCN with 2,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (3-bpo) affords a wave-like infinite chain coordination polymer [Cu2(CN)2(3-bpo)] n (1). Replacement of 3-bpo by its isomer 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (4-bpo) could yields polymer [Cu(CN)(4-bpo)] n (2). In the complex 1, the bent 3-bpo ligand adopts bidentate chelating mode binds with the Cu(I)-cyanide chain to form 16-membered macrocyclic structure. The complex 2 exhibits a layered metal–organic framework, in which exo-bidentate 4-bpo ligand connects the Cu(I)-cyanide chains to form 2-D rectangle grid. Both of these Cu(I) complexes are thermal stable under 200°C and release 3-bpo or 4-bpo ligand in 200–360°C. Luminescent study reveals that 1 has green-light emission, while 2 has blue-light emission. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Four copper(I) cyanide coordination polymers containing 2-(n-pyridyl)benzimidazole ligands, namely [Cu2(CN)(2-PyBIm)] n (1), [Cu2(CN)2(3-PyHBIm)] n (2), {[Cu3(CN)3(4-PyHBIm)4]·2H2O} n (3) and [Cu5(CN)3(4-PyBIm)2] n (4), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 is a one-dimension coordination polymer in which 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole is deprotonated and adopts a bridging tridentate coordination mode. Complex 2 has ladder-like structure in which 2-(3-pyridyl)benzimidazole does not deprotonate and acts as a bidentate bridge. Complex 3 displays a saddle-shaped helical chain constructed through μ2-cyanide group and the outstretched neutral 2-(4-pyridyl)benzimidazole monodentate ligand. Complex 4 shows two-dimension layer polymeric structure in which deprotonated 2-(4-pyridyl)benzimidazole acts as a tridentate bridging ligand. The cyanide groups in four complexes all act as bidentate bridging ligands. These complexes are thermal stable and display luminescence in the solid states. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
