Abstract. Three coordination complexes, namely, [Zn(btbp)(3-npa)] n (1), [Co(btbh)(3-npa)] n (2), and {[Co(btbb)(5-nipa)(H 2 O)]·H 2 O} n (3) (btbp = 1,3-bis(thiabendazole)propane, btbh = 1,6-bis(thiabendazole) hexane, btbb = 1,4-bis(thiabendazole)butane, 3-H 2 npa = 3-nitrophthalic acid and 5-H 2 nipa = 5-nitroisophthalic acid) were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods as well as by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 features a fascinating meso-helical chain, which is further extended into a 2D supramolecular framework involving π···π
Four Ag(I) coordination polymers, formulated as [Ag(L1)(tpa) 0.5 ] n (1), {[Ag(L2)(ndc) 0.5 ]Á0.5H 2 ndc} n (2), [Ag(L3) 0.5 (ndc) 0.5 ] n (3) and {[Ag(L3)]ÁH 3 bptc} n (4) (L1= 4,4 0 -bis(pyrazole-1-ylmethyl)-biphenyl, L2 = 4,4 0 -bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)-biphenyl, L3 = 1,4-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, H 2 tpa = terephthalic acid, H 2 ndc = 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, H 4 bptc = 3,3 0 ,4,4 0 -biphenyltetracarboxylic acid), have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 features the rare binodal (4,4)-connected 2D 4,4L10 topological network with a point symbol of {3 2 Á4.6 2 Á7} 2 {3 2 Á6 2 Á7 2 }. Complex 2 has a folded ladder-like chain structure, which is further extended into a 3D supramolecular network via O-HÁÁÁO hydrogen bonding and pÁÁÁp stacking interactions. Complexes 3 and 4 both possess 1D zigzag chain structures. Complex 3 is further extended into a binodal (3,4)-connected network with the point symbol of {4.8 4 Á10}{6 2 Á8 2 } 2 by AgÁÁÁO weak interactions, while complex 4 is further connected through O-HÁÁÁO hydrogen bonding and pÁÁÁp interactions to afford a 2D supramolecular structure. The photoluminescence spectra and photocatalytic properties of these complexes for degradation of methylene blue and methyl orange are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
