title: d(10) Metal complexes assembled from isomeric benzenedicarboxylates and 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole showing 1D chain structures: syntheses, structures and luminescent properties.
abstract: Seven new d10 metal coordination polymers with isomeric benzenedicarboxylates and 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole ligands, [Zn2 L2(1,2-BDC)(H2O)]n ( 1), {[Cd2(H L)2(1,2-BDC)2] x H2O}n ( 2), [Cd(H L)(1,2-BDC)(H2O)]n (3), [Zn(H L)(1,3-BDC)(H2O) x 3H2O]n ( 4), [Cd2 L2(1,3-BDC)(H2O)]n (5), [Zn(H L)2(1,4-BDC)]n ( 6) and [Cd(H L)2(1,4-BDC)]n (7) (BDC = benzenedicarboxylate, H L = 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal that each complex takes a different one-dimensional (1D) chain structure. In 1-7, the BDCs act as bridging ligands, exhibiting rich coordination modes to link metal ions. The three BDC isomers exhibit different coordination modes: micro(1)-eta(1):eta(1)/micro(3)-eta(2):eta(1), micro(3)-eta(1):eta(2)/micro(3)-eta(2):eta(1), micro(2)-eta(1):eta(1)/micro(1)-eta(1):eta(0) and micro(1)-eta(1):eta(1)/micro(1)-eta(1):eta(0) for 1,2-BDC, micro(1)-eta(1):eta(1)/micro(1)-eta(1):eta(0) and micro(1)-eta(1):eta(0)/micro(2)-eta(2):eta(1) for 1,3-BDC, and micro(1)-eta(1):eta(0)/micro(1)-eta(0):eta(1), micro(1)-eta(1):eta(0)/micro(1)-eta(1):eta(0) and micro(1)-eta(1):eta(1)/micro(1)-eta(1):eta(1) for 1,4-BDC, respectively. In these complexes, H acts as a simple bidentate chelate ligand (in 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7), similar to 2,2'-bipyridine, or as a tridentate chelate-bridging ligand (in 1 and 5) via deprotonation of the pyrazolyl NH group and coordination of the pyrazolyl N atom to a second metal ion. The structural differences indicate that the backbone of such dicarboxylate ligands plays an important role in governing the structures of such metal-organic coordination architectures, and the chelating bipyridyl-like ligand H leads to the formation of these coordination polymers with one-dimensional structures by occupying the coordination sites of metal ions. Moreover, the photoluminescent properties of complexes were also studied in the solid-state at room temperature.
