Nine new Cd(II) coordination
polymers (CPs) including [Cd3(4-bmbpd)4Cl6(H2O)2] (1), [Cd(4-bmbpd)(2,2′-BDC)(H2O)] (2), [Cd(4-bmbpd)(OBA)]·H2O (3), [Cd(4-bmbpd)0.5(ADTZ)(H2O)]·H2O (4), [Cd4(4-bmbpd)(1,3-ATDC)4(H2O)6]·2H2O (5), [Cd(4-bmbpd)(3-NPH)(H2O)]·H2O (6), [Cd(4-bmbpd)0.5(NIP)(H2O)] (7), [Cd(4-bmbpd)0.5(HIP)]·H2O (8),
and [Cd3(4-bmbpd)2(1,3,5-BTC)(H2O)4]·4H2O (9) (4-bmbpd = N,N′-bis(4-methylenepyridin-4-yl)-1,4-benzenedicarboxamide,
2,2′-H2BDC = 2,2′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid,
H2OBA = 4,4′-oxybis(benzoic acid, H2ADTZ
= 2,5-(s-acetic acid)dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole, 1,3-H2ATDC = 1,3-adamantanedicarboxylic acid, 3-H2NPH = 3-nitrophthalic
acid, H2NIP = 5-nitroisophthalic acid, H2HIP
= 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, and 1,3,5- H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic
acid), have been produced with a hydrothermal/solvothermal technique
and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction,
powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and infrared
spectroscopy. Complex 1 exhibits a one-dimensional (1D)
wave-like double chain constructed from [Cd3(4-bmbpd)2Cl6(H2O)2] subunits
and μ2-bridging 4-bmbpd ligands. 2 is
a two-dimensional (2D) 4-connected layer consisting of 1D [Cd-4-bmbpd]
n
zigzag chains and 1D [Cd-2,2′-BDC]
n
single-strand helix chains. Complex 3 is also a 2D 4-connected network constituted of 1D [Cd-OBA]
n
linear chains and [Cd(4-bmbpd)]
n
wave-like chains. Complex 4 has a (2,4,4)-connected
2D architecture based on [Cd2(ADTZ)2] rings
and μ4-bridging 4-bmbpd ligands with {42·82·102}{ 42·84}2{4}2 topology. Complex 5 exhibits an intriguing 1D chain constructed from [Cd4(1,3-ATDC)4] rings and μ2/μ4-bridging 4-bmbpd ligands. Complex 6 presents
a 1D ladder-shaped chain. Complex 7 displays a 3D (4,4)-connected
framework giving an interesting self-penetrating structure. Complex 8 is a 3D (4,5)-connected architecture with {44·62}{44·66} topology. 9 shows a 3D (2,3,4,4)-connected framework, which contains
[Cd-1,3,5-BTC]
n
1D double chains. The
versatile structures reveal the impact of the carboxyl position and
number, the flexibility, as well as the functional groups of polycarboxylate
auxiliary ligands on the architectures. Furthermore, the effects of
different organic solvents on the fluorescent behaviors of 1–4 and 7–9,
and the photocatalytic properties of 1–9 under UV irradiation, were studied.
