Abstract

Two rigid linear ligands with alkoxy functional groups (L1 = 4,4′-(2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-phenylene) dipyridine; L2 = 4,4′-(2,5-diethoxy-1,4-phenylene) dipyridine) incorporating carboxyl-containing auxiliary ligands (isophthalic acid = H2IPA; terephthalic acid = H2TPA; biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate = H2BPDC) have been adopted to build a series of complexes with M(II) (M = Zn, Co, Cd) under solvothermal conditions. The formula of these complexes are {[Zn(L1)(IPA)]}n (1), {[Zn(L1)(TPA)]·DMF}n (2), {[Co(L1)(TPA)(H2O)2]·2DMF}n (3), {[Cd(L1)(TPA)(H2O)2]·2DMF}n (4), and {[Co(L2)(BPDC)]·0.5H2O}n (5). Five complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry measurements. Topological analyses reveal that complex 2 is a 6-connected pcu net with point symbol {412·63}, while complex 5 is a 6-connected rob net with point symbol {48·68·8}, the other complexes 1, 3, and 4 can be simplified as 4-connected sql nets with point symbol {44.62}. Complexes 1, 3...
