Construction of monomers and chains assembled by 3d/4f metals and 4′-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine
摘要:
A series of transition metal and lanthanide complexes of 4'-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2"-terpyridine (HL, 1), namely [M(L)(2)]center dot 5H(2)O (M=Ni, 2; Co, 3), [Zn(L)(2)](n)center dot 0.5nH(2)O (4) and [Ln(L)(3)](n) (Ln=Nd, 5; Gd, 6; Er, 7) were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Isomorphic compounds 2 and 3 are mononuclear molecules with two ligand chelating to the metal centers via tridentate terpyridyl, while compound 4 adopts 1D chain-like structure, in which five-coordinate zinc centers are surrounded by three ligands. Compounds 5-7 also display 1D chain-like structure, but the nine-coordinate lanthanide centers bonded by four ligands. Luminescent property indicates that compound 4 exhibits photoluminescence in the solid state at room temperature. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
