                                Self-assembly of flexible 1,3-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propane (btp), inorganic Cu(II) salt and rigid benzene-based carboxylate coligand generates four complexes, {[Cu(btp)(2)(CH3OH)(H2O)]center dot H2O center dot 2ClO(4)}(n) (1), {[Cu(btp)(Hbtc)2]center dot 0.5H(2)O}(n) (2), [Cu(btp)(2)(H(3)btea)(2)](n) (3), and [Cu(btp)(nb)(2)] (4) (H(3)btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, H(4)btea = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, Hnb = p-nitrobenzoic acid), which are fully structural characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, elemental analysis, IR, and TG-DTA techniques. Structural determinations reveal that the polymeric two-dimensional (2D) Cu-btp grid-like layer for 1, 1D linear single-and double-stranded chains for 2 and 3, as well as the discrete binuclear structure for 4, are jointly directed by the coordination polyhedrons of the Cu(II) ion and the exo-bidentate bridging btp core ligand with various conformations. The theoretical calculations suggest that the trans-trans btp is the most stable conformation, and the metal binding site is collectively determined by the electron density of N donors and the spatial orientation of the btp ligand. Unexpectedly, the polycarboxylate anions in 1-4 can only act as terminal coligands not popular bridging connectors. The thermal stability of the resulting complexes is also compared.
