Two compounds with 3-methylbenzoic acid（HL） [Co（L）2（4,4＇-bipy）]n 1 and [Zn2（L）4（4,4＇-bipy）]n 2（L = 3-methylbenzoic acid） have been hydrothermally synthesized directly and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis,elemental analyses,IR spectra and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection integral spectra（UV-Vis DRIS）.The two compounds are both one-dimensional infinite chains.The structural difference is that 1 is a double-chain structure and 2 is only a single chain one.At the same time,the carboxylate groups adopt different modes in the two compounds,relatively.Additionally,in order to explore the structural characteristic,two-dimen-sional IR spectra are investigated for 1 and 2.Photo-luminescent property of 2 is also researched in detail.
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）（A°）,β = 90.99（3）°,V = 1119.8（4）（A°）^3,Z = 4,C8.5H14N2O5.5Co0.5,Mr = 261.68,Dc = 1.552 g/cm^3,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/cm^3,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.
Two novel transition metal phosphonate compounds, [Co（H2BDPP）（phen）]n 1 （BDPP = p-O3PCH2（C6H4）CH2PO3, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline） and [Pb3（BCP）2]n 2 （BCP = OOC（C6H4）CH2PO3）, have been synthesized and structurally determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 21.169（4）, b = 12.001（2）, c = 7.6211（15）A, β = 98.03（3）°, V= 1917.2（6）A^3, C20H18N2O6P2Co, Mr = 505.22, Z = 8, De= 1.737 g/cm^3, p = 1.107 mm^-1, F（000） = 1020, the final R= 0.0450 and wR = 0.1306 for 2072 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I）. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 4.7167（9）, b = 18.753（2）, c = 22.781（3）A, β = 91.07（3）°, V= 2014.7（14）A^, C8H6O5PPb1.5, Mr = 523.88, Z = 8, Dc = 3.454 g/cm^3, p = 25.222 mm^-1, F（000） = 1856, the final R = 0.0441 and wR = 0.1906 for 2259 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I）. In compound 1, the 1D chain running along the c axis is bridged by four ligands （trans- HO3PCH2C6H4CH2PO3H） in four different directions to extend the structure into a three- dimensional network. In compound 2, the Pb（II） displays 4- and 5-coordination modes. There is a one-dimensional P-O-Pb band along the a axis formed by PO3 groups and Pb（II） cations. These bands are joined by μ2-O of -COO to yield two-dimensional inorganic P-O-Pb layers which are pillared by the OOCC6HaCH2PO3 ligands to form a three-dimensional network. Moreover, compound 2 displays a strong emission band attributed to the ligand-centered （LC） transition.
