Abstract
Three new Zn(II)/Cd(II) coordination polymers (CPs), {[Zn(4pybbp)(fumarate)0.5(NO3)]·(DMA)2·(H2O)2.25}n (1), {[Zn(4pybbp)(glutarate)]·H2O}n (2), [Cd(4pybbp)(isophthalate)]n (3) (4pybbp = 2-(6-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)pyridine-2-yl)-1-(pyridine-4-methylpyridine-1H-benzo[d]imidazole; DMA = dimethylacetamide) have been prepared using solvothermal method by introducing different dicarboxylate anion. Single crystal analysis shows that CP 1 and 2 are one-dimensional (1D) trapezoidal double-stranded and linear single-stranded structures, respectively, while CP 3 is two-dimensional (2D) planar structure. The structural disparities among the three coordination polymers can be ascribed to the size of d10 metal ions and the coordination mode of ligands. The solid-state fluorescence properties indicate that the fluorescence peaks of the coordination polymers 1–3 belong to the π*-π transition of the ligand 4pybbp, which occur significant blue-shift and enhancement. The order of fluorescence blue-shift is 1 > 2 > 3, which is consistent with the bond length order of Zn/Cd-Npyridine. The stronger fluorescence of the CPs than the ligand is due to the immobilization of the ligand through coordination, which reduces the energy loss of thermal vibration. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity of coordination polymers increases with the skeleton structure from 1D to 2D. Therefore, coordination and skeleton structure will affect the fluorescence of the coordination polymers.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
