Assemblies of copper bis(triazole) coordination polymers using the same keggin polyoxometalate template.
Four inorganic-organic hybrid compounds, [Cu(I)(4)(bte)(4)(SiW(12)O(40))] (1), [Cu(II)(2)(bte)(4)(SiW(12)O(40))].4H(2)O (2) [bte = 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethane], [Cu(I)(4)(btb)(2)(SiW(12)O(40))].2H(2)O (3), and [Cu(II)(2)(btb)(4)(SiW(12)O(40))].2H(2)O (4) [btb = 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butane], were hydrothermally synthesized through use of the same Keggin polyoxometalate as the template and tuning the molar ratio of the bis(triazole) ligand to the Cu(II) ion. The ratio of the bis(triazole) ligand to Cu(II) has a crucial influence on the structures of this series. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that compound 1 is constructed by tetranuclear ring-connecting chains and polymerized [Cu(bte)](+) chains, between which SiW(12) anions are inserted to form a three-dimensional (3D) structure. Compound 2 shows a (4(4).6(2)) two-dimensional grid sheet. The discrete SiW(12) anions are sandwiched by the sheets, just like "hamburgers". Compound 3 presents channel-like [Cu(2)(btb)](2+) polymerized chains, which are further connected by SiW(12) anions to construct a 3D framework. Compound 4 exhibits a (6(6)) 3D Cu-btb framework with hexagonal channels, into which the tetradentate SiW(12) anions are incorporated. The thermal stabilities of the compounds are discussed.
