Two new 1-naphthoate-based Pb(Ⅱ) complexes, [Pb(phen)(NA)2]n 1 and [Pb(bpp)(NA)2]n 2 (NA = 1-naphthoate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, and bpp = 1,3-bi(4-pyri- dyl)propane), were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. 1 is of monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 28.114(3), b = 10.9601(10), c = 8.6843(8) , β = 93.3760(10)°, V = 2671.3(4) 3, Dc = 1.814 g/cm3, Mr = 729.73, Z = 4, F(000) = 1416, μ = 6.360 mm-1, the final R = 0.0346 and wR = 0.0948 for 2184 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). Complex 2 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 26.491(2), b = 8.7773(6), c = 27.893(2) , β = 113.3020(10)°, V = 5956.8(8)3, Dc = 1.668 g/cm3, Mr = 747.78, Z = 8, F(000) = 2928, μ = 5.706 mm-1, the final R = 0.0211 and wR = 0.0493 for 3677 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). Both complexes present one-dimensional (1-D) zigzag chains extended by anionic NA linkers for 1 and bridged by neutral bpp connectors for 2, which are further aggregated into 2-D supramolecular networks by interchain π···π stacking interactions. In addition, the two solid-state complexes exhibit different strong emissions at room temperature, suggesting their potential applications as fluorescence materials.
