Abstract
Three new solvent-directed three-dimensional (3D) lead(II) coordination polymers, [Pb2(L)2]n (1), [Pb3(L)3]n (2) and [Pb(L)]·H2O (3) [H3L = 2-(pyridine-2-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid], have been synthesized solvothermally. As influenced by different solvent systems, compounds 1 and 3 exhibit varying architectures from a multi-nodal 3,3,4,4-connected to a uninodal 3-connected net, while 2 with helices represents a binodal 3,4-connected topological net. Moreover, 3 possesses a micropore which is decorated with pyridyl systems and uncoordinated carboxylate oxygen atoms. In addition, the small-sized and highly polar pores enable 3 to attract CO2 strongly, leading to a high sorption heat for CO2 and significant selectivity for CO2 over H2 and N2 at 293 K. The luminescent behaviors and emissive lifetimes of 1-3 are also discussed.
