Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two Coordination Polymers Based on a Flexible Ligand N,N'-Diacetic Acid Imidazolium

Two coordination compounds with a flexible ligand N,N?-diacetic acid imidazolium(HDAM),{[Co(trans-DAM)(bipy)(H2O)2](OH)·4H2O}n 1 and {[Cd(trans-DAM)(bipy)(H2O)](NO3)?2H2O}n 2(bipy = 4,4’-bipyridine),were prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic,space group P2/n with a = 7.589(6),b = 11.444(2),c = 12.894(3),β = 90.99(3)°,V = 1119.8(4)3,Z = 4,C8.5H14N2O5.5Co0.5,Mr = 261.68,Dc = 1.552 g/cm3,F(000) = 546,μ = 0.832 mm-1,the final R = 0.0657 and wR = 0.1958.Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group with a = 17.479(4),b = 11.689(2),c = 11.670(2),β = 117.13(3)°,V = 2121.9(7)3,Z = 4,C17H21N5O10Cd,Mr = 567.79,Dc = 1.777 g/cm3,F(000) = 1144,μ = 1.096 mm-1,the final R = 0.0233 and wR = 0.0638.In 1,the Co(II) ions are linked by μ2-trans-DAM-and bipy ligands to build a 2D(4,4) rectangular grid layer,exhibiting a 4-connected sql net.As for 2,μ3-trans-DAM-and bipy bridge Cd(II) ions form a 2D double-layer,consisting of a couple of(4,4) grid layers,which can be viewed as a(3,4)-connected network.In both compounds,the 2D structures are stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions to give 3D supramolecular frameworks.Additionally,FT-IR spectroscopy,UV-Visible spectroscopy,and the fluorescent properties are discussed.
