Syntheses and Characterizations of Two One-Dimensional Coordination Polymers Assembled by Dicarboxylate and N-Donor Coligands

Abstract

Two new coordination polymers [Mn(oba)(1,10-phen)] n (1) and [Zn(oba)(Pbim)2] n (2) [H2oba = 2-(3-carboxyphenoxy)benzoic acid, 1,10-phen = 1,10-phenanthro line and pbim = 2-(2-Pyridyl)benzimidazole] have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray analyses revealed that 2,3′-oba ligand act as a bridging ligand, exhibiting three coordination modes to link metal ion: bis-monodentate, bidentate chelating and monodentate modes. Compound 1 and 2 all demonstrate a 1D chain. There exist intermolecular hydrogen bonds which further connect the 1D structure into 2D supramolecular structure in compound 1 and 2. In addition, the luminescent property for compound 2 is also investigated in the solid state at room temperature.
