Copper thiocyanate (CuSCN) and a pyridyl-triazine ligand form rare coordination polymer isomers. This study details a novel non-centrosymmetric 3D framework with Cd(SO4) topology.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • Coordination polymers offer diverse structural possibilities.
  • Understanding structural isomerism is key to designing functional materials.
  • Tetrahedral metal cations are common building blocks in coordination chemistry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize novel coordination polymers.
  • To investigate the formation of structural isomers using CuSCN and dpt.
  • To explore the topology of the resulting three-dimensional framework.

Main Methods:

  • Reaction of copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN) with 2,4-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (dpt).
  • Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
  • Topological analysis of the coordination framework.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis of coordination polymer structural isomers.
  • Identification of a rare non-centrosymmetric three-dimensional framework.
  • The framework exhibits a Cd(SO4) topology, built from tetrahedral metal cations.

Conclusions:

  • The reaction between CuSCN and dpt yields unique coordination polymer structures.
  • The formation of non-centrosymmetric frameworks is achievable with this ligand system.
  • The study contributes to the understanding of structural diversity in coordination polymers.
