Abstract:
Solvothermal reactions of a bifunctional ligand 4-(2-ethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid (2-Heiba) with Cu(NO3 )2 and Cu(OAc)2 afforded two coordination polymers, [Cu3 (2-eiba)4 (NO3 )2 ]⋅5 DMF (1; DMF= N,N-dimethylformamide) and [Cu(2-eiba)2 ] (2), respectively, which show a twofold interpenetrated 3D network and 2D+2D→3D polycatenated architecture. Complex 1 is a potential luminescent detector for nitrobenzene and FeIII ions, whereby strong antiferromagnetic interactions are also found between the CuII centers.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
