Abstract
By tuning the solvent mixture, four CdII-based compounds, [Cd3(BTB)2(DMA)4]·2DMA (1α), [Cd3(BTB)2(DMA)4]·2DMA (1β), [Cd3(BTB)2(DMF)4]·2DMF (1γ), Cd2(BTB)(HCOO)(DMF)3 (2) have been successfully separated from H3BTB ligand and Cd(NO3)2 salts. Structural analyses revealed that compounds 1α, 1β and 1γ are iso-structural and have essentially identical local and two-dimensional structures constructed from trinuclear Cd3(OCO)6 unit. Their structural differences only arise from the different packing fashions, which are novel modes of supramolecular isomerism in coordination polymers. Compound 2 displays 3D two-fold interpenetrated network based on 1D infinite Cd3(μ1,1,3-OCO)2(HCOO) chains containing mixed BTB3- and formate ligands. The fluorescence measurements show that compounds 2 exhibit red-shifts (about 25nm) in the solid state, compared with three iso-structural 1α, 1β and 1γ, and this can be attributed to the cooperative effects of intraligand π-π* transitions and ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT).
