Abstract

To investigate the influence of the different halides on coordination parameters and exploitable properties, a series of isostructural lead(II) coordination polymers, namely, [Pb(µ-L)(µ-X)2]n (X=Cl (1), Br (2), I (3)) based on rigid ligand N,N′-bis(4-pyridylmethylidyne) phenylene-1,4-diamine (L) were synthesized successfully. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by FT-IR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction crystallography. Single crystal X-ray analyses revealed that these compounds have a 2D net structure containing PbX4N2 centers in which lead(II) ions bridged by both halide anions and L ligands in trans arrangement. Moreover, natural bond orbital (NBO) calculations were employed to obtain atomic charge distributions, hybridizations and the strength of interactions between lead ion and halides via second-order perturbation energies. All materials display a blue luminescence in the solid state at room temperature. Also, there is an obvious relationship between the NBO findings and observed red shift order in these compounds. Finally the results of thermal behavior studies of compounds 1–3 have been discussed.
