Two New Metal-organic Frameworks Constructed from 3,4,5-Substituted-1,2,4-Triazole Ligands

Two new complexes,[Zn(L1)2(SCN)2]·H2O(1,L1 = 3,5-dimethyl-4-p-tolyl-4H1,2,4-triazole and [Cd3(L2)6(SCN)6](2,L2 = 3,5-dimethyl-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole),have been hydrothermally prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction,IR spectroscopy,elemental analysis and PXRD.Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic,space group P21 /n with a = 11.246(13),b = 9.640(11),c = 26.13(3),β = 100.97(3),V = 1108.5(3) 3,Z = 4,C24 H28 N8 OS2 Zn,Mr = 572.02,Dc = 1.366 g/cm3,μ = 1.065 mm-1,S = 0.992,F(000) = 1184,the final R = 0.0602 and wR = 0.1700 for 2925 observed reflections(I > 2σ(I)).Complex 2 crystallizes in triclinic,space group P1 with a = 11.6669(3),b = 12.0957(2),c = 14.3674(3),α = 105.380(3),β = 91.020(2),γ = 92.4100(10)o,V = 1952.30(7)3,Z = 1,C66H66N24S6Cd3,Mr = 1725.08,Dc = 1.467 g/cm3,μ = 1.025 mm-1,S = 1.037,F(000) = 870,the final R = 0.0336 and wR = 0.0946 for 7819 observed reflections(I > 2σ(I)).In the title complexes,complex 1 is a mononuclear molecule where the centre Zn(II) coordinates to two 3,4,5-substituted 1,2,4-triazole ligands(L1) and two terminal SCN-anions in a tetrahedral environment while six-coordinated centre Cd(II) atoms with octahedral geometry in complex 2 are bridged by virtue of substituted 1,2,4-triazole(L2) in N1,N2-bridging mode and μ2-N,N-SCN-anions into a trinuclear molecule.
