Abstract:
Eight coordination polymers constructed from divalent metal salts, N,N-bis(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)terephthalamide (L), and various dicarboxylic acids are reported, affording [Co(L)(5-ter-IPA)(H2O)2]n (5-tert-H2IPA = 5-tert-butylisophthalic acid), 1, {[Co(L)(5-NO2-IPA)]⋅2H2O}n (5-NO2-H2IPA = 5-nitroisophthalic acid), 2, {[Co(L)0.5(5-NH2-IPA)]⋅MeOH}n (5-NH2-H2IPA = 5-aminoisophthalic acid), 3, {[Co(L)(MBA)]⋅2H2O}n (H2MBA = diphenylmethane-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid), 4, {[Co(L)(SDA)]⋅H2O}n (H2SDA = 4,4-sulfonyldibenzoic acid), 5, {[Co2(L)2(1,4-NDC)2(H2O)2]⋅5H2O}n (1,4-H2NDC = naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid), 6, {[Cd(L)(1,4-NDC)(H2O)]⋅2H2O}n, 7, and {[Zn2(L)2(1,4-NDC)2]⋅2H2O}n, 8, which were structurally characterized by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural types of 1-8 are subject to the metal and ligand identities, showing a 2D layer with the hcb, a 3D framework with the pcu, a 2D layer with the sql, a polycatenation of 2-fold interpenetrated 2D layer with the sql, a 2-fold interpenetrated 2D layer with the 2,6L1, a 3D framework with the cds, a 2D layer with the 2,4L1, and a 2D layer with the (102⋅12)(10)2(4⋅10⋅124)(4) topologies, respectively. The investigation on the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) by using complexes 1-3 reveals that the degradation efficiency may increase with increasing surface areas.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

03:02Colors and Magnetism
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...
