Abstract
Two novel semiconducting coordination oligomers with 1D chain structures, namely [H0.07 CuI0.65CuII0.14(μ-p-CNC6H4CO2)·0.9H2O]n and [Ag(μ-p-CNC6H4CO2)]n, were obtained and characterized by XRD powder patterns, and XPS, EPR, UV-vis-NIR, IR and Raman spectroscopy. According to XRD analysis, CuICuII-ICNBA is an amorphous solid, while AgI-ICNBA crystalizes with a monoclinic unit cell in the C2/c space group (Z = 4). The composition and further information of CuICuII-ICNBA were obtained from the spectroscopic data. In correspondence with the quantification of terminal groups from high-resolution XPS spectra, CuICuII-ICNBA and AgI-ICNBA are composed of an average of 9 and 7 monomer units, respectively, resulting in 1D-oligomers. The spectroscopic evidence indicates that CuICuII-ICNBA is better described as a non-stoichiometric coordination oligomer (where non-integer ratios of metal ions can be accommodated), while AgI-ICNBA is stoichiometric. In both materials, each metal center is linked by two μ-η1:η1-p-isocyanobenzoate ligands forming microfibers of around 120 nm (CuICuII-material) and 310 nm (AgI-material) in average diameters with optical band gaps of 2.60 eV and 2.17 eV, respectively.
