title: A flexible 1,8-naphthyridyl derivative and its Zn(II) complexes: synthesis, structures, spectroscopic properties and recognition of Cd(II).
abstract: A flexible ligand bis(7-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine-2-ylamino)methane (), having kappa(4)-chelating and kappa(2)-bridging modes, and its intriguing structural complexes of Zn(II) with mu-OH, kappa(1)-OAc, mu-kappa(1)-OAc and mu-kappa(2)-OAc ligands, [Zn(2)()(2)(OH)](ClO(4))(3) (), [Zn(4)()(2)(OAc)(6)(OH)(2)].CH(2)Cl(2) (.CH(2)Cl(2)) and [Zn(5)()(2)(OAc)(10)](n).4nH(2)O (.4H(2)O) were synthesized and their structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. These compounds exhibited intense blue fluorescent emissions with a lambda(max) in the range of 380-410 nm in CH(2)Cl(2), CH(3)CN and CH(3)OH solutions, and solid-state emissions centered at 416, 463, 490 and 451 nm were observed for the compounds , , and at room temperature, respectively. The investigated fluorescence properties of associated with various metal ions showed that the fluorescence enhancement of with Cd(II) was more sensitive than with other interfering cations.
