Abstract
A new complex, {[Cd2(tbip)2(1,3-bip)2]·4H2O}n (1) [H2tbip = 5-tert-butyl isophthalic acid; 1,3-bip = 1,3-bis(imidazole-1-yl)propane], has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of Cd(II) salt, H2tbip, and 1,3-bip ligands. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and further characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. The X-ray single-crystal structure shows that complex 1 belongs to the triclinic system, P space group, a = 10.3211(10), b = 10.5443(10), c = 11.8324(11) Å, and α = 80.0660(10), β = 84.6510(10), γ = 71.5590(10)°. Complex 1 exhibits a 1D chain structure resulting from dimeric Cd(II) units bridged by tetradentate tbip and flexible 1,3-bip ligands. These 1D chains are further extended into a 2D supramolecular structure by hydrogen bonding and C-H···π interactions. Moreover, photoluminescence properties of complex 1 were investigated.
