title: Crystal structures and solid-state CPMAS 13C NMR correlations in luminescent zinc(II) and cadmium(II) mixed-ligand coordination polymers constructed from 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)ethane and benzenedicarboxylate.
abstract: The hydrothermal reaction of M(NO(3))(2).4H(2)O (M = Zn and Cd) with benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H(2)bdc) or benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (H(2)ip) and 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)ethane (btre) produced the mixed-ligand coordination polymers (MOFs) {[Zn(2)(micro(2)-bdc)(2)(micro(4)-btre)]} (), {[Cd(2)(micro(4)-bdc)(micro(4)-btre)(2)](NO(3))(2).H(2)O} and {[Zn(2)(micro(3)-ip)(2)(micro(2)-btre)(H(2)O)(2)].2H(2)O} (). The compounds, characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, solid-state cross-polarization (CP) magic-angle-spinning (MAS) (13)C NMR and thermoanalysis, feature 3D metal-organic frameworks for and and 2D double layers which are connected through hydrogen bonds from the aqua ligands for 3. The CPMAS (13)C NMR spectra picture the symmetry-independent (unique) C atoms and the bdc/ip-to-btre ligand ratio in agreement with the crystal structures. The zinc and cadmium coordination polymers show a strong bluish fluorescence upon excitation with UV light (the free btre ligand is non-luminescent).
