Three isostructural 3D supramolecules with p-thioacetatebenzoic acid ligand: syntheses, structure characterizations, and properties

Abstract

p-Thioacetatebenzoic acid (H 2 L) and a combination of N-donor ligand of 4,4 0 -bipyridine (4,4 0 -bipy) with metal(II) ions give rise to three 3D supramolecules of general formula [M(HL) 2 (4,4 0 -bipy) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] Á H 2 O, M = Co II (1), Zn II (2), Ni II (3), which were characterized by crystallographic methods. The crystals are isostructural and belong to the triclinic P " 1 space group. The structure can be considered to construct from 1D chains and further linked by hydrogen bonds into the final 3D supramolecular networks. The electrochemical behavior of complexes 1 and 3 were studied by cyclic voltammetry, indicating that the electron transfers in the electrode reaction are irreversible. Meanwhile, complex 2 exhibits significantly red-shifted emission in solid state at room temperature.

Interplay of thermochemistry and Structural Chemistry, the journal (volume 21, 2010) and the discipline

“…Further, Zhan et al [290] report on the synthesis by hydrothermal reaction of 3D supramolecules synthesized from p-thioacetatebenzoic acid (H 2 L) and a combination of N-donor ligand of 4,4 0 -bipyridine (4,4 0 -bipy) with metal(II) ions with general formula [M(HL) 2 (4,4 0 -bipy) 2 (-H 2 O) 2 ]ÁH 2 O, M = Co(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II), which were characterized by as shown by X-ray single crystal analysis the complexes are isostructural. As shown by cyclic voltammetry the electron transfer reactions in the electrode reactions of Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes are irreversible.…”
