Abstract
Three new butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylato bridged coordination polymers [Zn2(H2O)4(BTC)]·3H2O 1, [Cd2(H2O)4(BTC)]·2H2O 2 and [Y2(H2O)6(H2BTC)(BTC)]·5H2O 3 (H4BTC = butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid) were synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, TG–DTA analyses, elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and their fluorescence properties were also investigated. In 1, the trigonal pyramidally coordinated Zn atoms are brigded by both μ6η6 and μ6η8 centrosymmetric BTC4− anions into 2D layers, which are connected by the octahedrally coordinated Zn atoms to build up 3D (44·610·8)(44·62)2(44·68·82·10) topological framework with the lattice water molecules in cavities. In 2, the CdO7 pentagonal bipyramids and the CdO8 4,4′-bicapped triagonal antiprisms are edge-shared to generate the Cd2O13 bipolyhedra, which are further corner-shared into 1D metal-oxide chains. The resulting chains are interconnected by the μ6η8 BTC4− anion to form 2D (43)2(46·66·83) networks, which are assembled via interlayer hydrogen bonds into a 3D (411·611·86)(43)(49·6) topological supramolecular architecture with the lattice H2O molecules located in holes. The distorted 4,4′-bicapped triagonal antiprismatically coordinated Y atoms in 3 are interconnected μ4η4 H2BTC2− and μ4η6 BTC4− anions to from 2D (44·62) topological networks, which are held together via strong interlayer hydrogen bonds into a 3D fsc topological supramolecular architecture with the lattice water molecules residing in cavities.
