Abstract:
In this work, an Eu coordination polymer (1a) was synthesized by a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation based upon complex 1 under the stimulation of water molecules ({[Eu(bpdc)1.5(H2O)5]·4H2O} (1a), {[Eu2(bpdc)3(H2O)2]·5H2O} (1), and H2bpdc = 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid ligand). Complex 1a exhibited considerable pH fluorescence stability in an aqueous solution. Notably, the experiment showed that complex 1a achieved high selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of the notorious food additive melamine (MEL) through a significant fluorescence enhancement response; and yet complex 1 had no fluorescent response with MEL. Furthermore, the recognition mechanism of complex 1a on MEL was explored in detail through the combination of experimental studies and DFT calculations. It was worth pointing out that the proton conductivity of complex 1a had significantly improved compared with that of complex 1 due to the increase in hydrogen-bonding interactions in the framework.

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
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...

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
