Two Pb(II) complexes with 8-quinolinol (8-Quin), 5-chloro thiophene-2-carboxylic acid, and (5-CTPC)/5-bromo thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (5-BTPC) have been synthesized and characterized by IR, 13 C NMR, and solid state photoluminescence spectra. The structures of [Pb(8-Quin) 4 ](5-CTPC) 2 (1) and have been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Both complexes crystallize in the triclinic crystal system with a space group P 1. In 1, Pb(II) is eight coordinate by four bidentate 8-quinolinol groups, while in 2 it is six coordinate by two bidentate 8-quinolinol groups and one bidentate 8-quinolinolate group. This leads to square antiprismatic and pentagonal pyramidal geometries around Pb(II) in 1 and 2, respectively. Two of the 5-CTPC ligands in 1 and a 5-BTPC in 2 are involved in strong O-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonding in the lattice. ClÁ Á Á interactions are found in 1. The crystal structures are stabilized by weak C-HÁ Á ÁO and -stacking interactions.
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.
