Syntheses and Characterizations of Two Manganese(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymers Containing Three-dimensional Interpenetrating Networks Constructed by Mixed Ligands

Two new three-dimensional coordination polymers, namely [Mn(L)(bpdc)]n(1), [Mn(L)0.5(ndc)]n(2)(L = 1,4-bis(2-methylbenzimidazole)butane, H2 bpdc = 4,4?-biphenyldicarboxylic acid, H2 ndc = 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Two complexes were characterized by physico-chemical, spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 shows a 3D → 3D 5-fold interpenetrated network with a 4-connected uninodal dia topology. Complex 2 possesses a 3D → 3D 3-fold interpenetrating architecture with a binodal(4,5)-connected xah topology. The fluorescence and thermal properties of the title complexes were discussed.
