Crystal structure and luminescent properties of a one-dimensional Cd(II) coordination polymer constructed by 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine and 5-tert-butyl isophthalic acid

Abstract

A one-dimensional Cd(II) complex [Cd(Bu2bpy)(tbip)∙ H2O]n (1) (Bu2bpy = 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′- bipyridine, H2tbip = 5-tert-butyl isophthalic acid) is synthesized and characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complex 1 is a one-dimensional double chain polymer based on {Cd2(OCO)2} dimeric kernels with a Cd...Cd separation of 4.3197(7) A. The thermal stability and luminescent properties of the title complex are briefly investigated.
