Zinc(II) and cadmium(II) coordination polymers with bis(tetrazole) ligands: Syntheses, structures and luminescent properties
摘要:
Two bis(tetrazole) ligands, 1,2-bis(tetrazol-5-ylmethyl)benzene (H2L1) and 1.2-bis(tetrazol-5-yl)benzene (H2L2), were designed and synthesized, and three new zinc(II) and cadmium(II) coordination polymers, {[M-2(L-1)(2)(H2O)(2)](2)center dot 8H(2)O)(infinity) (1), [Zn-4(L-1)(4)](infinity) (2) and {[Cd(L-2)(NH3)(3)]center dot 2H(2)O)(infinity) (3), were synthesized using the ligands H2L1 and H2L2 as building blocks. All the complexes were structurally characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 3 have infinite one-dimensional (1-D) chain structures, and such 1-D chains structures were linked by complicated hydrogen bonds to form three-dimensional (3-D) supermolecular networks. Complex 2 has a 3-D network structure. In these complexes, the ligands H2L1 and H2L2 can act as multidentate ligands when coordinating to the metal ions under different conditions, and three coordination modes for the tetrazolate rings have been observed in these complexes. The results show that the variation of the ligand spacers as well as the reaction conditions lead to the formation of complexes with different structures. Furthermore, the fluorescent properties of complexes 1-3 and ligands H2L1 and H2L2 have been investigated and discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
