A novel supramolecular compound,{[2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazoleH2]2·[BiCl6]·Cl},was synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of o-phenylenediamine and α-pyridinecarboxylic acid with BiCl3 in 6.0 mol·L-1 HCl solution,and characterized by elemental analysis,IR,X-ray single-crystal diffraction and photoluminescence spectroscopy.The crystal (C24H22N6Cl7Bi,Mr= 851.61) belongs to the triclinic system,space group P1 with a =7.2887(18),b =9.548(2),c= 12.469(3),α=85.306(4),β=82.814(4),γ=71.349(4)°,Z=1,V=814.9(3)3,Dc=1.735 g/cm3,μ(MoKα)=6.007 mm-1,F(000)=410,R=0.0307 and wR=0.0787.The bismuth ion and six chlorine ions construct a distorted octahedral configuration.The three-dimensional supramolecular network is built from electrostatic attractions,hydrogen bonds and π-π interaction between the BiCl6 anion,Cl anion and [2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazoleH2] cation.The photoluminescence spectroscopy study shows that the title compound has a blue fluorescent emission at 450 nm in the solid state.
A new supramolecular compound,{[2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazoleH2]2+·[SbCl5]2-}2,was synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of o-diaminobenzene,2-pyridinecarboxylic acid and SbCl3 in 1:1 HCl solution,and characterized by chemical analysis,elemental analysis,IR spectra,thermogravimetric analysis and fluorescence spectra. The crystal structure was deter-mined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system,space group P21/c,with a=16.0397(13),b=14.3189(12),c=15.6370(13),β=105.8980(10)°,V=3454.0(5)3,Z=4,C24H22Cl10N6Sb2,Mr=992.48,Dc=1.909 g/cm3,μ=2.366 mm-1,S=1.010,F(000)=1920,R=0.0254 and wR=0.0555. The coordination anion,[SbCl5]2-which is a distorted tetragonal pyramid,is composed by coordinating action with Sb3+ ion and five adjacent chloride ions. Every four coordination anions of [SbCl5]2-form a biquaternion ring structure through the secondary bonding of Sb···Cl. Moreover,the compound adopts a three-dimensional network supramolecular structure because of the hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking between the rings and the 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole divalent cations. The title compound also shows good fluorescent behaviors.
