Abstract
Three cadmium phosphonate coordinated polymers, namely as [Cd5(ptz)3(SO4)2(5H2O)]·6H2O (Cdptz-1), [Cd3(ptz)2(Cl)2(4H2O)]·2H2O (Cdptz-2) and [Cd4(ptz)2(SO4)(Cl)(OH)H2O]·H2O (Cdptz-3) have been hydrothermally synthesized using 4-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)phenylphosphonic acid (H2ptz) as ligand. Single crystal X-ray analyses revealed Cdptz-2 as layered structure and Cdptz-1,3 as pillar-layered structures with Cl- or SO42- as bridging anions. Due to the weak bonding between metal and anions, Cdptz-1 and 2 can reversibly convert into each other by simple immersing in the corresponding solution at room temperature. While the transformations between Cdptz-1,2 and Cdptz-3 can only happen under hydrothermal condition. The causes for the transformation involve the metal-ligand bond breaking/formation, replacement of anions and enhancement/decrement of the network dimensionality.
