Abstract
Two bipyridinium-bearing Cu(II) coordination polymers, [Cu(BCbpy)(ox)(H2O)]·H2O (1) and [Cu2(BCbpy)2(ox)2]·3H2O·DMF (2), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Upon solvent modulation, the structure transformation from a closely-packed 1D chain to a 2D laminar network with parallelogram-shaped channels can be achieved. More interestingly, the charge separated skeleton of BCbpy ligand incorporated in compound 2 makes the pore space polarized, endowing it with different adsorption abilities for methanol, water and ethanol vapors.
