Abstract
By using 2, 2'-biimidazole (2, 2′-biim) and 2, 2′-bipyridine (2, 2′-bipy) as structure-directing agents (SDAs), two cadmium diphosphonates, [Cd2(H2L)2(H2O)] (1) and [Cd5(HL)2(H2L)2]·4H2O (2) (H4L = 4–F–C6H4CH2N(CH2PO3H2)2), have been hydrothermally synthesized. The introduction of different N-heterocyclic aromatic SDAs results in the diverse structures, thermal stabilities, and luminescent properties. Structural analyses reveal that both 1 and 2 show three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structures wherein the adjacent layers are further connected by moderately π–π stacking interactions or hydrogen-bond interactions. Among them, the thermal stability of 1 is higher than 2. Surprisingly, 1 displays excellent luminescent performance, whereas 2 shows no luminescent signal. Based on the intense luminescence of 1, it can serve as a high selectively and sensitively luminescent sensor for Hg2+ with a low detection limit of 3.1 × 10–7 M in aqueous solution. Additionally, the probable sensing mechanism for 1 has also been investigated in detail, which can be assigned to the weak interaction between the uncoordinated O sites from the H2L2– ligands and Hg2+.
Graphical abstract
Two cadmium diphosphonates with different structures and luminescent properties have been hydrothermally obtained by using N–heterocyclic aromatic (2, 2′–biim and 2, 2′‒bipy) compounds as SDAs. 1 displays excellent luminescent performance, whereas 2 shows no luminescent signal. Furthermore, 1 can serve as a luminescent sensor for Hg2+ in water
期刊介绍:
Transition Metal Chemistry is an international journal designed to deal with all aspects of the subject embodied in the title: the preparation of transition metal-based molecular compounds of all kinds (including complexes of the Group 12 elements), their structural, physical, kinetic, catalytic and biological properties, their use in chemical synthesis as well as their application in the widest context, their role in naturally occurring systems etc.
Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be of broad appeal to the readership and for this reason, papers which are confined to more specialised studies such as the measurement of solution phase equilibria or thermal decomposition studies, or papers which include extensive material on f-block elements, or papers dealing with non-molecular materials, will not normally be considered for publication. Work describing new ligands or coordination geometries must provide sufficient evidence for the confident assignment of structural formulae; this will usually take the form of one or more X-ray crystal structures.
