ABSTRACT: Hydrothermal reactions of Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) salts with 2-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (H3tmidc) lead to four novel coordination polymers, namely, [Mn3(tmidc)2(H2O)4]·(H2O)6 (1), [Co3(tmidc)2(H2O)4]·(H2O)4 (2), [Cu3(tmidc)2(H2O)]·(H2O) (3), and [Cd(Htmidc)] (4). Compound 1 has a three-dimensional (3D) architecture, and the topological study shows that its framework features a 3D (3,4)-connected fsc-3,4-Pbca network with the Schläfli topological symbol of (63)(63.83). Compound 2 exhibits a 3D pillared framework constructed by 4-fold one-dimensional (1D) helical chains and possesses open helical channels in the framework. Topological analysis reveals that it is a unique (3,4)connected net with the Schläfli symbol of (4.52)(4.5.114) which is not enumerated in RCSR andTOPOS, and has not been reported in the literature. Compound 3 features a 3D intricate framework displaying a new (3,4)-connected 4-nodal net with the Schläfli symbol of (5.72)(4.5.7)(52.72.8.10)(4.5.73.8) which has not been observed in any other coordination polymers. Topological analysis of the 3D network found in compound 4 reveals that the whole structure can be rationalized as a (4.65)(4.65) crb topological net.



groups.5−10 Recently, particular attention has been paid to the functionalized H3IDC ligands, at the 2-position of the imidazole ring, with diverse substituent groups such as methyl, ethyl, or pyridyl, for these analogues present distinct coordination fashions relative to the parent H3IDC ligand. Accordingly, many research groups have effectively employed H3IDC derivatives, such as 2-methyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, 2ethyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, 2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, 2-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxymethyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, and 2-(pyridine-4-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid to build up novel MOFs.11 Taking the factors mentioned above into account, we endowed the backbone of H3IDC with the triazole group and synthesized 2-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-imidazole4,5-dicarboxylic acid (H3tmidc) (Scheme 1). It is important to mention that the modification employed on the H3IDC with the triazole group can increase the resultant ligand’s flexibility and coordination diversity and is expected to produce novel topologies of resulting transition metal H3tmidc-based compounds. In this paper, we report the construction and properties of four novel MOFs based on the newly synthesized 2((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic

INTRODUCTION During the past decades, the rational design and construction of novel metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant interest owing to their enormous structural diversity and intriguing molecular topologies as well as promising applications as functional materials in the areas of catalysis, sorption, ion exchange, sensors, nonlinear optics, magnetism, and so on.1−3 It is well-known that one of the most effective approaches to synthesizing novel MOFs is the judicious selection of multifunctional organic ligands, especially the N-heterocyclic carboxylates, because these building blocks contain multioxygen and nitrogen atoms and can coordinate with metal ions in versatile ways, resulting in the formations of various MOFs with specific topologies and useful properties.4−10 For example, 4,5-imidazoledicarboxylic acid (H 3IDC), a planar rigid N-heterocyclic carboxylic acid containing two nitrogen and four oxygen atoms, has attracted much interest in coordination chemistry, showing more interesting traits in the construction of MOFs. H3IDC can be partially or fully deprotonated to generate various species with different proton numbers (H2IDC−, HIDC2−, and IDC3−) at different pH values. Therefore, H3IDC can potentially afford various coordination modes in multicoordinated ways with metal ions to form a large diversity of MOFs with different structures and useful properties. Up to now, some 4,5-imidazoledicarboxylate coordination polymers that exhibit useful properties, such as porosity, magnetism, and catalysis, have been reported by multitudinous research © 2012 American Chemical Society

Crystallographic data were collected on a Rigaku AFC10Saturn72 CCD diffractometer using graphite-monochromatized Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) at room temperature. A hemisphere of data was collected using a narrow-frame method with scan width of 0.50° in ω. The data were integrated using the CrystalClear-SM 1.3.6 SP3r6 program, with the intensities corrected for Lorentz factor, polarization, air absorption, and absorption due to variation in the path length through the detector faceplate. Multiscan absorption corrections were applied. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined on F2 by full matrix least-squares using SHELXTL.14 All the non-hydrogen atoms were located from the Fourier maps and were refined anisotropically. All H atoms were refined isotropically, with the isotropic vibration parameters related to the non-H atom to which they are bonded. The crystallographic data for the four compounds are listed in Table 1, and the selected bond lengths are given in Table 2.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Description of Structure [Mn3(tmidc)2(H2O)4]·(H2O)6 (1). Compound 1 is a three-dimensional (3D) open framework consisting of concertina sheets linked by triazole rings and crystallizes in the space group Pbca. The asymmetric unit consists of one and half crystallographically distinguishing Mn(II) ions, one tmidc3− anion, two coordinated water molecules, and three dissociative water molecules. Figure 1a shows the coordination environments of Mn(II) ions in compound 1. The Mn1 ion is six-coordinated with distorted octahedral geometry surrounded by two nitrogen and one oxygen atoms (N3, N4B, and O4A) from three crystallographic independent μ4-tmidc3− ligands and one water molecule (O5) in the equatorial plane, and two oxygen atoms (O2A and O1B) in axial positions (symmetry code: $A −x + 2, y − 1/2, −z − 1/2; $B −x + 3/2, y − 1/2, z). The Mn1−N distances range between 2.199 and 2.274 Å, and the Mn1−O bond lengths range from 2.139 to 2.253 Å. The Mn2 ion resides on an inversion center and is octahedrally coordinated by two nitrogen and two oxygen atoms (N5, N5C, O3, and O3C) from two individual μ4tmidc3− ligands and two aqua oxygen atoms (O6 and O6C) (symmetry code: $C −x + 2, −y, −z − 1). The Mn2−N bond length is 2.152 Å and the Mn2−O bond lengths range between 2.226 and 2.287 Å. These Mn−N and Mn−O bond lengths are comparable to those reported for other imidazole-based dicarboxylate Mn(II) complexes.5d,7b,8b,11c,g In each μ4tmidc3− ligand, the imidazole ring and triazole ring are almost vertical with a dihedral angle of 85.9°.

adopts a μ4-kN,O:kN′,O′:kO,O′:kN″ mode connecting four Mn centers. As shown in Figure 1b, all the Mn(II) ions are interlinked by tmidc3− ligands to generate a two-dimensional (2D) concertina sheet in the ac plane, which is composed of hexagonal 24-membered rings. Each 24-membered ring shows a chain-conformation and is formed by six tmidc3− ligands, four Mn1 ions, and two Mn2 ions. The triazole rings act as linear connectors through the coordination interactions of N3 atoms in the original formed sheet to the Mn1 ions from adjacent layer. As a result, the neighboring sheets are further pillared together by bridging triazole rings to result in a 3D architecture with channels running parallel to the [1 0 0] and [0 1 0] directions (Figure 1c). The lattice water molecules reside in these channels and form hydrogen bonds with coordinated water molecules and the carboxylate groups, as well as with the nitrogen atoms (N2) from triazole rings (O7···N2#8, 2.929 Å; O7···O4#9, 2.932 Å; O8···O6, 2.922 Å; O9···O6, 2.884 Å; O9···O7, 2.901 Å; symmetry codes: #8 x + 1/2, −y + 1/2, −z − 1; #9 x − 1/2, −y + 1/2, −z − 1). When these extraframework species are not considered, the total accessible volume within the crystal is estimated as 18.7% as calculated by the program PLATON. Topologically, each μ4-tmidc3− ligand is connected to three Mn1 centers and one Mn2 center through Mn−O and Mn−N bonds. Contrarily each Mn1 center links with three μ4tmidc3− ligands and each Mn2 ion links with two μ4-tmidc3− ligands. Therefore, each Mn1 center is considered as a threeconnecting node, each Mn2 center is regarded as a connection, and each μ4-tmidc3− ligand can be defined as a four-connecting node. On the basis of this simplification, the 3D architecture can be described as a binodal (3,4)-connected fsc-3,4-Pbca network with the Schläfli topological symbol of (63)(63.83), as illustrated in Figure 1d. The topological analysis of compound 1 has been performed on the TOPOS40 program giving

dimer unit of [Co(1)2(tmidc3−)4(H2O)2] (Figure 2b). These dimer units of [Co(1)2(tmidc3−)4(H2O)2] are alternately connected along the direction of c axis through the imidazoledicarboxylic groups chelating two Co1 ions in a bis-bidentate fashion via the oxygen atoms of the carboxylic group (O2 and O4) and nitrogen atoms of the imidazole ring (N4 and N5) to form a left-handed helical infinite chain (Figure 2c). The helix is generated around the crystallographic 41 screw axis by which four complex units, namely, four dimer units of [Co(1)2(tmidc3−)4(H2O)2]4 are interrelated to complete one helical turn with a pitch of 25.09 Å, which marks the c lattice parameter. A notable structural feature of compound 2 is that it comprises channels formed by the intertwist of the helical chains. The channels have a 6.294 × 6.294 Å2 square section and its total solvent-accessible volume in the unit is 1936 Å3, which account for 48.7% of the total cell volume as calculated by PLATON. These helical chains are further assembled by Co2 ions into a 3D open framework. The interchain coordination interactions of O1 and O3 atoms from μ4-tmidc3− ligands in original formed helical chains to Co2 ions can allow the left-handed chirality to transfer uniformly, leading to the formation of a homochiral 3D frameworks (Figure 2d), in which all the helical chains are left-handed chirality. It is regrettable that right-handed enantiomers crystallize synchronously in compound 2 together; thus, the chiral structure of compound 2 cannot be obtained by spontaneous resolution.

Compound 2 exhibits a 3D pillared framework constructed by 4-fold one-dimensional (1D) helical chains and crystallizes in a tetragonal chiral space group P43212, with an absolute structure parameter being 0.51(4) indicating that it is twinned. The asymmetric unit contains one and half crystallographically independent Co(II) ions, one tmidc3− anion, two coordinated water molecules, and two lattice water molecules. As shown in Figure 2a, each Co1 ion is surrounded by three nitrogen (N5, N4A, and N3B) and two oxygen atoms (O4 and O2A) from three individual μ4-tmidc3− ligands, and one water molecule, forming a slightly distorted octahedral geometry (symmetry code: $A x − 1/2, −y + 3/2, −z + 1/4; $B y − 1/2, −x + 3/2, z + 1/4). Co2 ion, however, resides on an inversion center and is octahedrally coordinated by four oxygen atoms (O1, O3, O1C, and O3C) from two individual μ4-tmidc3− ligands and two oxygen atoms (O6 and O6C) from two aqua molecules (symmetry code: $C −y + 1, −x + 1, −z + 1/2).

A better insight into the nature of compound 2 can be achieved by the application of topological analysis using the program TOPOS. As discussed above, each Co2 center is regarded as a linker, each μ4-tmidc3− ligand is simplified to a 4-connected node, and each Co1 center can be viewed as a 3-connected node. Topological analysis reveals that it is a unique binodal (3,4)-connected net with the Schläfli symbol of (4.52)(4.5.114) and the long vertex symbol is 4·5·5 and 4·52·11·113·113·115, respectively (Figure 3). It is noted that such a (3,4)-connected net is a new topology which is not enumerated in RCSR and TOPOS, and has not been reported in the literature. Description of Structure [Cu3(tmidc)2(H2O)]·(H2O) (3). Compound 3 crystallizes in the space group P21/c. The asymmetric unit comprises three crystallographically independent Cu(II) ions, two tmidc3− anions with uniform coordination mode, one coordinated water molecule, and one lattice water molecule in which the Cu1, Cu2, and Cu3 ions all adopt distorted square pyramidal geometries. As depicted in Figure 4a, the Cu1 ion is five-coordinated with three oxygen (O1, O5, and O7) and two nitrogen atoms (N4 and N3A) from three individual μ4-tmidc3− ligands (symmetry code: $A x, −y + 1/2, z − 1/2). Each Cu2 ion is surrounded by one nitrogen (N10B) and three carboxylate oxygen atoms (O2, O4, and O8B) from

in a left-handed helix to meet the request of the coordination of triazole rings in the original right-handed chain to the Cu3 ions in neighboring helical chain. Thus the adjacent helical chains are fused together through the coordination of triazole rings, leading to the formation of an achiral 2D sheet in the bc plane (Figure 4d). The adjacent achiral sheets are further linked by Cu1 ions (through the coordination connection of Cu1 ion to O1, N4, O5, O7, and N3 atoms) to generate a 3D framework (Figure 5a). The most remarkably structural feature of compound 3 is that it possesses the 3D intricate framework displaying new (3,4)-connected topology. In compound 3, the network topology can be acquired by defining each μ4-tmidc3− ligand as a 4-connected node and Cu1 (Cu3) ion as a 3-connected node. The resulting (3,4)-connected 4-nodal net has a (5.72)(4.5.7)(52.72.8.10)(4.5.73.8) topology with an extended vertex symbol of (5·7·7)(4·5·7)(5·5·7·7·8·104)(4·7·5·8·7·7) (Figure 5b). Although many (3,4)-connected networks in coordination polymers have been reported, to our best knowledge, this type of topology defined by compound 3 has not been observed in any other coordination polymers.

ligated by three nitrogen (N5, N9C, and N8D) and two oxygen atoms (O3 and O6C) from three crystallographically different μ4-tmidc3− ligands (symmetry code: $C −x + 2, y + 1/2, −z + 3/2; $D x + 1, −y + 1/2, z + 1/2). The Cu−O(N) distances are in the range of 1.945−2.322 Å, and they are comparable to the previously reported values.11b,h Each tmidc3− anion adopts identical μ4-kN,O:kN′,O′:kO,O′:kN″ coordination mode connecting four Cu centers. The tmidc3− anion utilizes three oxygen (O2, O3, and O4) and one nitrogen atoms (N5) in bidentate-bridging and bidentate-chelating fashions to link Cu2 and Cu3 ions. Thereby, Cu2 and Cu3 ions are bound together to construct a dimer unit of [Cu(2)Cu(3)(tmidc3−)4(H2O)] (Figure 4b). These dimer units of [Cu(2)Cu(3)(tmidc3−)4(H2O)] are alternately linked along the direction of the b axis through the oxygen atoms of the carboxylic group (O6 and O8) and nitrogen atoms of the imidazole ring (N9 and N10) to form a 1D right-handed helical infinite chain around the crystallographic 21 axis, with the pitch of 15.663 Å (Figure 4c). The N8 atoms coordinate to the remaining coordination sites of Cu3 ions within the chain in a parallel way. Therefore, the neighboring chains must be formed 1287

Description of Structure [Cd(Htmidc)] (4). Compound 4 crystallizes in the space group P21/c. The asymmetric unit consists of one Cd(II) ion and one Htmidc2− ligand in which each Cd(II) ion is seven-coordinated with a distorted [CdN4O3] pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. As shown in Figure 6a, the coordination sphere around Cd(II) ion is composed of three oxygen atoms (O3A, O1B, and O2C) and four nitrogen atoms (N3, N2A, N5A, and N4B) atoms from four individual μ4-Htmidc2− ligands (symmetry code: $A −x, y + 1/2, −z + 1/2; $B x − 1, y, z; $C x − 1, −y + 3/2, z − 1/2). The equatorial plane is completed by O1B, N2A, O2C, O3A, and N4B atoms, and the axial sites are occupied by two nitrogen atoms N3 and N5A. The Cd−O bond lengths vary from 2.340 to 2.863 Å, while the Cd−N bond lengths are in the range of 2.189−2.581 Å. All lengths are consistent with those reported in other imidazolebased dicarboxylate Cd(II) complexes.5j,6b,7a,b,e,f,9b,11b−d,g Each Htmidc2− anion adopts a μ4-kN,O:kN′,O′,N″:kO:kN‴ mode connecting four Cd(II) centers. First, in the [0 1 0] direction adjacent Cd(II) ions are linked together by imidazole dicarboxylate groups (N4, O1, N5, and O3) to generate a single-chain helicate motif with a pitch of 10.560 Å. Then the adjacent helical chains are fused through the coordination of the triazole rings (N2 and N3) to the Cd atom, hence generating a 2D layer in the ab plane (Figure 6b). Eventually, the neighboring layers are pillared through the O2 atoms from carboxyl group along the c-axis, leading to the formation of a 3D framework (Figure 6c). The topological representation of the 3D network found in compound 4 is shown in Figure S3, Supporting Information. A binodal (4,4) net is constructed by considering each μ4-Htmidc2− ligand and each Cd(II) center as a node. Topological analysis of this net reveals that the

whole structure can be rationalized as a (4.65)(4.65) crb topological net. TGA Studies. The TGA curves of compounds 1−4 were measured from 30 to 700 °C (see Figure S4, Supporting Information). Compound 1 exhibits three main steps of weight losses. The first and second steps are overlapping and complete at 330 °C. The weight loss of 22.52% from 30 to 330 °C corresponds to removal of six lattice water molecules and four coordinated water molecules, which is in good agreement with the calculated value (22.14%). The third step started at 330 °C and was completed at 495 °C, which correspond to the decomposition of the tmidc3− ligands and the collapse of the lattice structure. The total observed weight loss at 650 °C is 69.97%. The final residual product is MnO2. The TGA curve of compound 1288

2 exhibits two well-separated weight loss stages. The first stage of 18.65% from 30 to 230 °C corresponds to the loss of the four lattice water molecules and four coordinated water molecules. The observed weight loss is in agreement with the calculated value (18.44%). The second stage, occurring between 230 and 500 °C, is equivalent to the decomposition of the tmidc3− ligands and the collapse of the lattice structure. The total observed weight loss at 500 °C is 77.04%. The TGA curve of compound 3 shows two main steps of weight losses. A mass loss of 5.31% of compound 3 occurred between 30 and 190 °C, attributed to the loss of the coordinated water molecules and lattice water molecules (calcd. 5.18%). Then it begins to decompose up to 650 °C, during which several processes occur: the decomposition of the tmidc3− ligands, as well as the collapse of the lattice structure. The total weight loss at 650 °C is 58.05%. Compound 4 is stable up to 370 °C, after which it begins to decompose up to 700 °C. The first step started at 370 °C and was completed at 450 °C. The second step and the first step are overlapping; the weight loss of 62.75% from 370 to 700 °C corresponds to the decomposition of the tmidc3− ligands and the collapse of the lattice structure, which is in good agreement with the calculated value (63.11%). The final residual product is CdO. Magnetic Properties, and Fluorescence Properties. The temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility data of compounds 1−3 have been collected for polycrystalline samples in the temperature range 1.8−300 K. Figure 7a shows the χmT and χm−1 versus T plots for compound 1. At 300 K, the observed effective magnetic moment (μeff) is 6.04 μB per Mn, close to the expected spin-only value (5.92 μB) for isolated spin S = 5/2 with g = 2. On cooling from room temperature, the χm T value decreases smoothly, indicating a dominant antiferromagnetic interaction between the magnetic centers. In the temperature range 8−300 K, the magnetic behavior obeys the Curie−Weiss law with a Weiss constant of −18.1 K. The negative Weiss constant also confirms antiferromagnetic exchange between the Mn(II). Figure 7b shows the χmT and χm−1 versus T plots for compound 2. At 300 K, the effective magnetic moment per Co atom (5.22 μB) is much higher than the expected spin-only value for S = 3/2 (3.87 μB), attributed to the orbital contribution of Co(II) ion. The susceptibility data between 10 and 300 K follow the Curie−Weiss law with a Weiss constant θ = −51.0 K. Upon cooling from room temperature, χmT decreases continuously until it reaches a minimum of 1.42 cm3 mol−1 K at 4 K. Below 4 K, χmT increases abruptly to a maximum of 2.34 cm3 mol−1 K at 2 K. The upturn of χmT below 4 K suggests uncompensated magnetic moments of the system arising from spin canting of the antiferromagnetically coupled Co(II) ions. Figure 7c shows the χmT and χm−1 versus T plots for compound 3. The roomtemperature effective magnetic moment (μeff) per copper(II) atom, determined from the equation μeff = 2.828(χmT)1/2, is 1.96 μB, which is close to the value expected for an isolated system of S = 1/2 (μeff = 1.9 μB for g = 2.2). Upon cooling, the χmT decreases gradually, indicating that antiferromagnetic couplings are mediated between the Cu(II) ions. This is confirmed by a negative Weiss constant of −9.8 K determined by the Curie−Weiss law in the temperature range 10−300 K. The photoluminescent properties of compound 4 have been investigated in the solid state at room temperature. The emission spectra are illustrated in Figure S5. Compound 4 exhibits a broad emission at 667 nm. The emission can be assigned to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT).
