Abstract
A series of eight coordination polymers incorporating transition metals [M = Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II)] were effectively produced via hydrothermal techniques. The primary ligand used in the synthesis was 2-amino-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (H2abda), combined with various auxiliary ligands, including 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 2,2′-biimidazole (H2biim), 1,4-bis(pyrid-4-yl)benzene (bpb), and pyridine (py). This process produced one 1D, one 2D, and six 3D coordination polymers, designated as [Mn(μ4-abda)(H2O)2]n (1), [Mn(μ4-abda)(phen)]n (2), [Mn(μ4-adba)(bipy)]n·nH2O (3), [Cd(μ3-abda)(bipy)]n (4), [Mn(μ-abda)(H2biim)2]n·2nH2O (5), [Ni2(μ-abda)(μ4-abda)(μ-bpb)2(H2O)2]n·2nH2O (6), [Co2(μ-abda)(μ4-abda)(μ-bpb)2]n·nH2O (7), and [Zn4(μ4-abda)2(μ3-abda) (μ3OH)(μ-OH)(py)2]n (8). These coordination polymers were thoroughly studied to investigate their structural topologies and catalytic efficacy. Coordination polymer 8 exhibited remarkable catalytic efficacy in the Henry reaction involving pyridine-3-aldehyde, achieving high yields under optimized conditions. It demonstrated exceptional stability, effectiveness, and reusability as a heterogeneous catalyst.
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.
