| - Four new compounds of partially or wholly deprotonated 5,5′-(1,4-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(oxy)diisophthalic acid (H4L1) and 5,5′-(1,3-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(oxy)diisophthalic acid (H4L2), namely {[Co(L1)0.5]·(H2O)2}n (1), {[Mn(L1)0.5]·(H2O)2}n (2), {[Cu(H2L1)](μ2-bipy)}n (bipy = 4, 4′-bipyridyl) (3), and {[Zn2(L2)].H2O}n (4) were synthesized in the presence or absence of auxiliary bipy ligand. Their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and further characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural and possess three-dimensional (3D) networks. In compound 3, multicarboxylate ligands and bipy ligands link Cu centers to generate a two-dimensional (2D) sheet structure which is further connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form a 3D supramolecular structure. In compound 4, the Zn centers are connected by L24− anions to generate a 3D framework. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that compounds 1 and 2 exhibit antiferromagnetic coupling between adjacent Co(II) ions and Mn(II) ions. The photoluminescent properties of the free H4L1 and H4L2 ligands and compound 4 have been studied in the solid state at room temperature. Both ligands and compound 4 exhibit strong violet emissions. Compared with the fluorescent emission of the ligand, the emission of 4 is red-shifted and enhanced.
- Four new compounds {[Co(L1)0.5]·(H2O)2}n (1), {[Mn(L1)0.5]·(H2O)2}n (2), {[Cu(H2L1)](μ2-bipy)}n (bipy = 4, 4′-bipyridyl) (3), and {[Zn2(L2)].H2O}n (4), built from flexible multicarboxylate ligands H4L1 and H4L2, have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Magnetic studies reveal that both compound 1 and compound 2 exhibit antiferromagnetic coupling between adjacent Co(II) ions and Mn(II) ions.
