Synthesis and structural characterization of a three-dimensional two-fold interpenetrated coordination polymer constructed from bis(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone and 1,1ʹ-biphenyl-2,2ʹ-dicarboxylate ligands for cadmium(II)

Abstract

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) two-fold interpenetrated coordination polymer, {[Cd(bipmo)(bpda)]·1.25(H2O)} n (1), (bipmo = bis(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone, H2bpda = 1,1ʹ-biphenyl-2,2ʹ-dicarboxylic acid), was synthesized by a solvothermal method. It has been characterized by elemental analyses, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The topological structure of 1 consists of uninodal dia nets with two-fold penetration. The thermal stability and the luminescence properties of complex 1 were investigated.
