Abstract

Water soluble coordination polymer of potassium lead 1,3-propylenediaminetetraacetate {K4[Pb2(1,3-pdta)2]·6H2O}n (1) and its insoluble products {[Pb(1,3-H2pdta)(H2O)]·2H2O}n (2), {[Pb2(1,3-pdta)(H2O)4]·4H2O}n (3) and [Pb2(1,3-pdta)(H2O)2]n (4) were obtained from the direct reactions of lead nitrate with 1,3-propylenediaminetetraacetic acid in different conditions (1,3-H4pdta=1,3-propylenediaminetetraacetic acid). The former 1 could be converted to the insoluble products of {[Pb2(1,3-pdta)(H2O)4]·4H2O}n (3) and [Pb2(1,3-pdta)(H2O)2]n (4) in weak acidic solution. The complexes have been full characterized by EA, FT-IR, solution and solid state 13C NMR spectra, thermogravimetric and structural analyses. Interestingly, 3 contains a unique (H2O)26 cluster and a 5.2Å pore after eliminating the guest water molecules, which exhibits reversible adsorption for methanol. This is confirmed by PXRD and solid state 13C NMR analyses. Nano-confined methanol in microporous structure has been observed based on the large downfield shift of 13C NMR signal (Δδ 9.72ppm), attributing to the methyl group in methanol.
