Abstract

Three novel metal-cluster based coordination polymers (MCCPs) with formulae [Zn43-OH)2(H2O) 2(sip)2(4,4′-bpy)2]·3H 2O (MCCP-4), [Cd43-OH)2(H 2O)2(sip)2(4,4′-bpy)4]· H2O (MCCP-5) and [Cd63-OH) 42-OH2)2(OH2) 2 (nip)4(4,4′-bpy)3]·3H 2O (MCCP-6) [H2sip = 5-sulfoisophthalic acid, H 2nip = 5-nitroisophthalic acid and 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridyl] were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. MCCP-4 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 10.106(2), b = 10.851(2), c = 11.125(2) Å, α = 105.66(3), β = 112.63(3), γ = 98.18(3)°, V = 1041.8(4) Å3, and Z = 2. MCCP-5 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 25.602(1), b = 16.571(1), c = 13.322(1) Å, β = 92.524(1)°, V = 5646.4(2) Å3, and Z = 4. MCCP-4 and -5 consist of similar [M43-OH)2] 6+ tetranuclear building units that are joined through sip and 4,4′-bpy ligands to generate a two-dimensional structure (MCCP-4) and a three-dimensional structure (MCCP-5), respectively. MCCP-6 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 14.295(2), b = 14.472(2), c = 20.204(3) Å, α = 73.362(3), β = 82.200(3), γ = 62.769(2)°, V = 3560.9(10) Å3, and Z = 2. MCCP-6 contains unprecedented [Cd63-OH)42-OH 2)2]8+ hexanuclear building units which are linked through nip and 4,4′-bpy ligands to afford a two-dimensional structure. The infrared spectroscopy, thermal stability and photoluminescence of the three complexes were studied.
