Abstract

A series of new CoIJII) complexes based on a new semi-rigid "V"-like bis-pyridyl-bis-amide derivative, namely, ijCoIJ3-bpha) 2 IJ2,3-HPDC) 2 ] (1), ijCoIJ3-bpha)IJ3-NPH)IJH 2 O) 2 ]·2H 2 O (2), ijCoIJ3-bpha)IJ1,3-BDC)]·4H 2 O(3), ijCoIJ3-bpha)IJHIP)]·3H 2 O (4), ijCoIJ3-bpha)IJMIP)IJH 2 O)]·H 2 O (5), and ijCo 3 IJ3-bpha) 2 IJ1,3,5-BTC) 2 IJH 2 O) 4 ] ·2H 2 O (6) (3-bpha = N,N′-bisIJpyridin-3-yl)-5-hydroxybenzene-1,3-dicarboxamide, 2,3-H 2 PDC = 2,3pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 3-H 2 NPH = 3-nitrophthalic acid, 1,3-H 2 BDC = 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, H 2 HIP = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, H 2 MIP = 5-methylisophthalic acid, 1,3,5-H 3 BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid), have been hydrothermally synthesized by tuning aromatic polycarboxylate co-ligands and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, powder XRD and TG analysis. Complex 1 is a discrete zero-dimensional (0D) structure in which the 3-bpha ligands and the 2,3-HPDC anions act as the terminal groups simultaneously to coordinate with the Co II ions. Complex 2 is a 1D meso-helical chain in which the 3-bpha ligands show a μ 2 -bridging mode and the 3-NPH anions act as the terminal groups. In complexes 3 and 4, pairs of 3-bpha ligands integrate with two Co II ions to generate 28-membered Co 2 IJ3bpha) 2 rings, which connect with the 1D ijCo-1,3-BDC] n or [Co-HIP] n chains to create the 2D networks. In complex 5, the Co II ions are linked to 3-bpha ligands, resulting in a single-strand ijCo-3-bpha] n helix chain, which is further connected to the MIP anions to form a 2D network. Complex 6 shows a 3D framework with (3,3,4)-connected IJ8 3 ) 4 IJ8 4 ·10 2 ) topology, which contains ijCo-IJ1,3,5-BTC)] n 2D grid-like sheets and 1D ijCo-3-bpha] n helical chains. Finally, the 0D discrete architecture in 1, 1D chain in 2, and 2D networks in 4 and 5 are extended to 3D supramolecular frameworks through hydrogen-bonding interactions. The effect of polycarboxylate auxiliary ligands with different substitute groups and different carboxyl positions and number on the assembly and structures of the target complexes were discussed. Moreover, the thermal stabilities, electrochemical properties and photocatalytic activities of complexes 1-6 were investigated. CrystEngCommThis journal is

Semi‐conductive Chiral MOFs with Helixes Based on Lactic Acid Derivatives for Photo‐catalytic Reaction

“…Recently, semi‐conductive Co‐MOFs as photo‐catalysts have been reported for degradation of some organic dyes under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation to purify the water [41–43] . Therefore, we attempte to use complex 1‐ R as catalyst to decompose Rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB), which are common organic dyes in wastewater.…”

Synthesis, Structures, and Properties of Cadmium(II) and Nickel(II) Coordination Polymers Based on a 4,4′‐Biphenyl‐Containing Ligand and Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids

“…Obviously the degradation efficiency of 3 under the same condition was appreciably lower than 1 and 2 . The differences of catalytic activity for 1 – 3 may trace back to the different central metals and final structures, the various dimensionality and structure characteristics of the title complexes may influence the catalytic activities , . The catalysts are separated by centrifugation and recycled by adding it into the MO solution to renew the degradation reaction.…”
