ABSTRACT: By using isomeric N,N′-di(2-pyridyl)adipoamide (L1), N,N′-di(3-pyridyl)adipoamide (L2) and N,N′-di(4-pyridyl)adipoamide (L3) and isomeric 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid (1,2-H2BDC), 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (1,3-H2BDC) and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (1,4-H2BDC), eight Zn(II) and Cd(II) coordination polymers [Zn(1,2BDC)(L2)]∞, 1; [Zn2(1,3-BDC)2(L2)(H2O)2]∞, 2; [Zn2(1,4BDC)2(L1)(H2O)2]∞, 3; {[Zn2(1,2-BDC)2(L3)(H2O)2]·2H2O}∞, 4; {[Cd(1,2-BDC)(L2)(H2O)]·H2O}∞, 5; [Cd2(1,3-BDC)2(L2)(H2O)4]∞, 6; {[Cd2(1,4-BDC)2(L2)2]·(H2O)3}∞, 7; [Cd2(1,4-BDC)2(L1)(H2O)2]∞, 8, have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Complexes 1, 4, and 5 form 1D double-looped chain, 1D chain with loops and 2D layer with loops, respectively, and complex 6 exhibits a 1D ladder chain. Complex 2 shows rare 3-fold interpenetrated hcb layers, in which each layer interdigitates with other four parallel layers by directing the 1,3-BDC ligands into the windows of the adjacent nets, whereas complexes 3 and 8 forms planar and undulated hcb layers, respectively. Complex 7 shows a 3D selfpenetrating net of {424.5.63}-ilc topology with a unique arrangement for the L2 spacer ligands. The L1 ligands in complexes 3 and 8 adopt the new tetradentate bonding mode involving chelation and bridge through two pyridyl nitrogen atoms and two amide oxygen atoms, whereas the L2 and L3 ligands in other complexes show the bidentate bonding mode through the two pyridyl nitrogen atoms. The various bonding modes and the ligand-isomerism of the spacer ligands BDC2− and L1−L3 as well as the identity of the metal center play important roles in determining the structural diversity.

shapes of the dicarboxylates. For complexes with the L3 ligands, those with the linear dicarboxylates form the 3D interpenetrated coordination networks, whereas those with the angular dicarboxylates form coordination networks with less dimensionality, involving a 1D → 2D polycatenane and 2-fold 2D → 2D parallel interpenetration network containing a rotaxane-like motif.7b With this background information, we sought to investigate the influence of the ligand isomerism on the structural diversity of Zn(II) and Cd(II) coordination polymers containing the flexible dipyridyl amide and the rigid dicarboxylate ligands. Reactions of Zn(II) and Cd(II) salts with the isomeric N,N′di(2-pyridyl)adipoamide (L1), N,N′-di(2-pyridyl)adipoamide (L2) and L3, and the isomeric 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid (1,2-H2BDC), 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (1,3-H2BDC) and 1,4-H2BDC afforded [Zn(1,2-BDC)(L2)]∞, 1; [Zn2(1,3BDC)2(L2)(H2O)2]∞, 2; [Zn2(1,4-BDC)2(L1)(H2O)2]∞, 3; {[Zn2(1,2-BDC)2(L3)(H2O)2]·2H2O}∞, 4; {[Cd(1,2-BDC)(L2)(H2O)]·H2O}∞, 5; [Cd2(1,3-BDC)2(L2)(H2O)4]∞, 6;
INTRODUCTION The rational design and synthesis of novel coordination polymer is an active topic of investigation, because it expands the range of new complexes with preselected physical and chemical properties.1 The range and variety of the selfassembling structures that can be constructed relies on the presence of suitable metal−ligand interactions and supramolecular contacts, i.e., hydrogen bondings and other weak interactions.2 Additionally, the structural types of the resulting coordination polymers are also affected by factors such as counterion,3 metal-to-ligand ratio,4 and solvent.5 Although many coordination polymers with intriguing topologies and properties have been reported, the control of structural dimensionality remains a great challenge in crystal engineering. The mixed ligand assembly system has been widely adopted for the generation of new coordination networks.6,7 However, due to a great diversity of the resulting structures, the governing principles in this system are less ascertained and remain elusive. Recently, we reported several Cd(II) coordination polymers based on the linear and angular dicarboxylates and the flexible N,N′-di(4-pyridyl)adipoamide (L3) ligand,7 which reveal that the structural types and degree of interpenetration of these Cd(II) coordination networks can be tuned by changing the © XXXX American Chemical Society

X-ray Crystallography. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data were collected on a Bruker AXS P4 diffractometer (1−3), on a Bruker AXS SMART-1000 diffractometer (4) or on a Bruker AXS SMART APEX II diffractometer (5−8) at 22 °C, which were equipped with a graphite-monochromated Mo Kα (λα = 0.71073 Å) radiation. Data reduction was carried out by using well-established computational procedures.9 The structure factors were obtained after Lorentz and polarization correction. An empirical absorption correction based on a series of ψ-scans was applied to the data for complexes 1−3, while the empirical absorption correction based on “multi-scan” was applied to the data for complexes 4−8. The positions of some of the heavier atoms, including the zinc and cadmium atom, were located by the direct method. The remaining atoms were found in a series of alternating difference Fourier maps and least-squares refinements.10 The hydrogen atoms of the water molecules of complexes 2, 4−6, and 8 were located from the difference Fourier maps, whereas the other hydrogen atoms were added by using the HADD command in SHELXTL 5.10. Basic information pertaining to crystal parameters and structure refinement is summarized in Table 1. Selected bond distances and angles are listed in Table S1.

structure, Figure 2d. The peculiar feature is that only two hcb from each set of the 3-fold layers “above” and “below” interdigitate with any given hcb and not with all three. This is due to the undulation of the layers. Such a rare feature is in marked contrast to the parallel polycatenation of 2-fold interpenetrated hcb layer found in [Ag(L)(CF3SO3)]·0.5H2O (L = 1,3,5-tris(4-cyano-phenoxymethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene),11 and the 3D entanglement from parallel polycatenation of 3-fold interpenetrated square layers observed for [Cd(L3)2(ClO4)2(CH3CH2OH)2]∞.8a The different nets that are interdigitating to each other are interlinked by the π−π [3.80(1) Å] interactions and N−H---O hydrogen bondings between the N−H groups of L2 ligands and carboxylate oxygen atoms of 1,3-BDC2− ligands [N---O = 2.773(5) Å, ∠N−H---O = 157.0(3)°], Figure S3, Supporting Information. Such nets are also linked by the water molecules through O−H---O hydrogen bonds to the amide oxygen atoms [O---O = 2.757(6) Å, ∠O−H---O = 157.5(5)o] and to the carboxylate oxygen atoms [O---O = 2.637(5) Å, ∠O−H---O = 176.5(6)°].

Figure 3a depicts a structure showing the coordination environment of Zn(II) ion, which is coordinated by one pyridyl nitrogen atoms and one amide oxygen atoms of L1 ligand [Zn−N = 2.168(4), Zn−O = 2.006(3) Å], two oxygen atoms of two μ2-η1,η0,η1,η0-1,4-BDC2− ligands [Zn−O = 1.984(3) and 2.022(3) Å] and one oxygen atom of the coordinated water molecule [Zn−O = 2.156(5) Å], resulting in a distorted square pyramidal geometry (τ = 0.4).12 The Zn(II) ions are bridged by the L1 and 1,4-BDC2− ligands to form planar 2D hexagonal nets (hcb), Figure 3b. The 54-membered ring involving {Zn6O12C36} has the approximate ring size of 17.54 × 26.09 Å2 and the Zn−Zn distances are 10.99 (through 1,4-BDC2‑), 11.20 (through 1,4-BDC2−), and 10.28 (through L1), respectively.

Figure 4a depicts a structure showing the coordination environment of Zn(II) ion, which is coordinated by one pyridyl nitrogen atoms of L3 ligands [Zn−N = 2.000(3) Å], two oxygen atoms of two μ2-η1,η0,η1,η0-1,2-BDC2− ligands [Zn−O = 1.940(3) and 1.934(3) Å] and one oxygen atom of the coordinated water molecule [Zn−O = 2.012(4) Å], forming a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The Zn(II) atoms are bridged by two 1,2-BDC2− ligands to form dinuclear units, which are linked to each other by the L3 ligands through the pyridyl nitrogen atoms to form chains with loops, Figure 4b,c. The 14membered ring involving {Zn2O4C8} has the approximate ring size of 5.19 × 9.69 Å2, and the Zn−Zn distances are 5.19 (through 1,2-BDC2−) and 20.55 (through L3) Å, respectively.

The Zn2 units are linked to each other through the pyridyl nitrogen atoms of the L2 ligands with the metal separation of 11.185 Å to form a 1D double-looped chain with alternating 14- and 56-menbered metallocycles. The 14-membered ring involving {Zn2O4 C8} and 56-membered ring involving {Zn4N8O4C40} have the approximate ring sizes of 5.3 × 9.7 and 14.1 × 17.5 Å2, respectively. The adjacent chains are linked by N−H---O [N---O = 2.855(3)−2.870(3) Å, ∠N−H---O = 163.5(2)−164.5(2)°] hydrogen bonds originating from the N− H groups of L2 ligands and carboxylate oxygen of 1,2-BDC2− ligands, Figure S2, Supporting Information. Structure of 2. Figure 2a depicts a structure showing the coordination environment about the Zn(II) atom, which is coordinated by one pyridyl nitrogen atom of L2 ligands [Zn−N = 2.043(4) Å], two oxygen atoms of two μ2-η1,η0,η1,η0-1,3BDC2− ligands [Zn−O = 1.915(3) and 1.926(3) Å] and one oxygen atom of the coordinated water molecule [Zn−O = 2.035(4) Å], resulting in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The Zn(II) ions are bridged by the L1 and 1,3-BDC2− ligands to form highly undulated 2D hexagonal (hcb) layers, which are equivalent and are composed of 62-membered metallocycles with an approximate size of 20.38 × 26.34 Å2, Figure 2b. Three hcb interpenetrate parallelly (i.e., with the same average plane), forming a 2D layer with a thickness of approximately 15.9 Å (2D → 2D interpenetration), Figure 2c.

The 38-membered ring involving {Cd4O4C30} has the approximate ring size of 10.30 × 17.03 Å2, which is defined by measuring the Cd−Cd distance which is linked by the 1,3-BDC2− ligands and L2 ligands, respectively. For two adjacent ladder chains, there are π−π [3.405(1) Å] interactions between the pyridyl rings of L2 ligands and N−H--O hydrogen bonds between the N−H groups of L2 ligands and carboxylate oxygen of 1,3-BDC2− ligands [N---O = 2.871(2) Å, ∠N−H---O = 143.7(1)°], Figure S7, Supporting Information. Structure of 7. Figure 7a depicts a structure showing the environments about the two independent Cd(II) ions. Each of the Cd(II) ions is coordinated by two pyridyl nitrogen atoms of the L2 ligands [Cd(1)−N = 2.326(1) and 2.332(1) Å, Cd(2)− N = 2.316(2) and 2.329 (2) Å] and four oxygen atoms of three 1,4-BDC2− ligands [Cd(1)−O = 2.246(1)−2.458(1) Å, Cd(2)−O = 2.229(1)−2.516(1) Å], resulting in a distorted octahedral geometry. The Cd(II) ions are bridged by 1,4BDC2− ligands to form 2D nets, Figure 7b, which are also linked to each other through the pyridyl nitrogen atoms of L2 ligands to form a 3D coordination network, Figure 7c. The Cd(II) ions form the binuclear secondary building unit (SBU) via the μ2-η1,η1,η1,η1 and μ4-η1,η1,η1,η1-1,4-BDC2− bridging ligands, with metal separation of 4.46 and 4.67 Å for the Cd2 unit involving Cd(1) and Cd(2), respectively. Each Cd2 unit is connected to eight neighboring ones through four L2 and four
ligands are located in the equatorial plane [∠O(3)−Cd−O(4) + ∠O(4)−Cd−O(5A) + ∠O(5A)−Cd−O(6A) + ∠O(6A)− Cd−N(3) + ∠N(3)−Cd−O(3) = 359.10°], with the Cd(II) center deviating from the plane by 0.30 Å, while one pyridyl nitrogen atom of L2 ligand and one water molecule occupy the axial positions. The Cd(II) ions are bridged by the L2 and the 1,2-BDC2− to form 2D pleated layer with loops, Figure 5b,c. The 74-membered ring involving {Cd6N16O4C48} and 14membered ring involving {Cd2O4C8} have the approximate ring sizes of 16.29 × 37.83 and 5.25 × 9.98 Å2, and the Cd−Cd distances are 5.25 (through 1,2-BDC2−), 18.06 (through L2) and 19.35 (through L2) Å, respectively. The 2-D nets are also interlinked by the N−H---O hydrogen bonds between the N− H groups of L2 ligands and carboxyl oxygen of 1,2-BDC2− ligands [N---O = 3.032(4) Å, ∠N−H---O = 157.9(3)°], Figure S6, Supporting Information.

[Zn5(μ3-OH)2(bdc)4(phen)2], the parallel (4,4) nets are cross-linked by the spacer ligands pointing two orientations, whereas four orientations of the spacer ligands are observed for 7, Figure 8, side view. Upon looking down the (4,4) nets, Figure 8, top view, it can be seen that the spacer ligands of [Zn5(μ3-OH)2(bdc)4(phen)2] that bridge the (4,4) nets either lie on the edges of the windows (A → A) or pass through the diagonal of single window of the (4,4) net (A → B), whereas spacer ligands that pass through the diagonal of two adjacent windows (A → C), as well as those that through a single window with different orientations (A → B and B → A) and those that lie on the edges of the windows (A → A) are observed for 7. Complex 7 and [Zn5(μ3-OH)2(bdc)4(phen)2] are thus topologically identical but geometrically different.15 Noticeably, while the most common strategy to prepare such higher 8-connected connected networks is to use the polynuclear cluster as decorated nodes,14b the adjoining nodes of the ilc net of 7 are composed of the dinuclear Cd2 units. Inside the ilc net of 7, the water molecules form (H2O)3 trimers through the O−H---O [O---O = 2.820(3)−2.920(4) Å, ∠N−H---O = 112.4(2)−142.6(2)°] hydrogen bonds to the other water molecules, which are supported by the N−H---O [N---O = 2.784(3) Å, ∠N−H---O = 155.9(1)°] hydrogen bonds and O−H---O hydrogen bonds to the carboxylate oxygen atoms [O---O = 2.974(3) and 3.056(3) Å, ∠O−H---O = 161.0(2) and 124.1(2)°] and the amide oxygen atoms [O---O = 2.857(3)−3.049(4) Å, ∠O−H---O = 112.2(2)−173.5(2)°]. The net is also stabilized by the N−H---O [N---O = 2.909(2) and 3.011(2) Å, ∠N−H---O = 169.3(1) and 163.6(1)°] hydrogen bonds originating from the amide hydrogen atoms of the L2 ligands to the carboxylate oxygen atoms, Figure S8, Supporting Information.

Accordingly, the conformations adopted by the L1−L3 ligands in complexes 1−8 are shown in Table 2. It is noticeable that Table 2. Ligand Conformations and Corresponding Angles for Complexes 1−8
one of the four independent L2 ligands in complex 7 adopts the GAG trans syn-syn and the other three the AAA trans syn-syn, giving a 3D self-penetrating net of ilc topology with four different connection modes for the L2 spacer ligands. Apparently, L1−L3 are sufficiently flexible to adjust to the stereochemical requirements for the formation of the complexes 1−8, which adopt the conformations that maximize their intra- and intermolecular forces. The L1 ligands in complexes 3 and 8 adopt the unique tetradentate bonding modes involving chelation and bridge through two pyridyl nitrogen atoms and two amide oxygen atoms, whereas the L2 and L3 ligands of the other complexes adopt the bidentate bonding mode through the two pyridyl nitrogen atoms. The tetradentate bonding mode of the L1 ligands in 3 and 8 that results in 2D hcb layers is in marked contrast to the bidentate bonding mode found in the 1D Ag(I) coordination polymers containing the L1 ligands.16 Figure 10 shows the bonding mode observed for the BDC2− ligands in 1− 8. The 1,2-BDC2− ligands in complexes 1 and 4, Figure 10a, the 1,3-BDC2− ligands in complex 2, Figure 10b, and the 1,4BDC2− ligands in complex 3, Figure 10c, adopt the bidentate μ2-η1,η0,η1,η0 bonding mode, whereas the 1,2-BDC2− ligands in complex 5 show the chelating μ2-η1,η1,η1,η1 mode, Figure 10d, and the 1,3-BDC2− ligands in complex 6 adopt the bidentate μ2-η1,η1,η1,η0 bonding mode, Figure 10e. In complex 8, the 1,4BDC2− ligands show both the bidentate μ2-η1,η0,η1,η0 bonding mode, Figure 10c, and the chelating μ2-η1,η1,η1,η1 bonding mode, Figure 10f, whereas those in 7 show both the bidentate μ2-η1,η1,η1,η1 and the tetradentate μ4-η1,η1,η1,η1 bonding modes, Figure 10g. Thermal and Luminescent Properties. Thermal gravimetric analyses were carried out to examine the thermal stabilities of complexes 1−8, Table 3. The results show that complexes 2−8 are stable up to 80−130 °C and the first weight losses that are due to the removal of cocrystallized and/or bonded water molecules occurred in 80−240 °C. Complex 1, which does not contain water molecule, is stable up to 290 °C,

to form pleated 2D hexagonal nets (hcb), Figure 9b. The 54membered ring involving {Cd6O12C36} has the approximate ring size of 17.46 × 23.36 Å2 and the Cd−Cd distances are 11.17 (through 1,4-BDC2−), 11.45 (through 1,4-BDC2−) and 11.63 (through L1) Å, respectively. The 2D nets are also interlinked by the N−H---O hydrogen bonding interactions between the N−H groups of L1 ligands and carboxyl oxygen of 1,4-BDC2− ligands [N---O = 2.862(2) Å, ∠N−H---O = 170.5(1)°], Figure S9, Supporting Information. A comparison of the structures of 3 and 8 shows that the Zn(II) ions of 3 locate almost on a plane, whereas the Cd(II) ions of 8 show undulation, Figure 9c, indicating that these two complexes are topologically identical but geometrically different. This observation verifies the influence of the size and thus the geometry of the metal ion on the geometry of the hcb layer. The structures of 7 and 8 are in marked contrast to the 9-fold interpenetrating dia net of {[Cd(1,4-BDC)(L3)]·2H2O}∞,7a which demonstrate the effect of the ligand isomerism of the dipyridyladipoamide ligands on the structural diversity. Ligand Conformations and Bonding Modes of the Ligands. It has been shown that L3 ligand can be arranged in anti-anti-anti (AAA), anti-anti-gauche (AAG), anti-gauche-anti (AGA), anti-gauche-gauche (AGG), gauche-anti-gauche (GAG), and gauche-gauche-gauche (GGG) conformations, and based on the relative orientation of the CO (or N−H) groups, each conformation can adopts cis or trans arrangement.8b Because of the differences in the orientations of the pyridyl nitrogen atom and amide oxygen atom, three more orientations, anti-anti, synanti and syn-syn, are also possible for the L1 and L2 ligands.7a H

CONCLUSION Eight new Zn(II) and Cd(II) coordination polymers have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, which show 1D, 2D and 3D structures. Complexes 3 and 8 and complex 7 and [Zn5(μ3-OH)2(bdc)4(phen)2] form two pairs of coordination polymers that are topologically identical but geometrically different. Various bonding modes of BDC2− ligands and ligand conformations of L1−L3 are observed in these complexes, whereas the L1 ligands in 3 and 8 adopt the unique tetradentate bonding mode. The structures of complexes 5−7, which contain Cd(II) ions and L2 ligands, are directed by the isomeric 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-BDC2− ligands, resulting in 2D, 1D, and 3D structures, respectively. The effect of the ligand-isomerism of the dipyridyl amide ligands on the structural diversity is observed in complexes 1 and 4 as well as in 7, 8 and {[Cd(1,4BDC)(L3)]·2H2O}∞. Structural comparisons between 1 and 5, 2 and 6, and 3 and 8 reveal that the identity of the metal center is also important in determining the structural diversity. The structural types of these Zn(II) and Cd(II) coordination polymers are thus subjected to the changes of the donor atom positions of the dicarboxylate and dipyridyl amide ligands and the nature of the metal atoms.

organic ligands L1−L3, 1,2-H2BDC, 1,3-H2BDC, and 1,4H2BDC show the emissions in the range 386−415 nm, which may be tentatively ascribed to the intraligand (IL) n → π* or π → π* transitions. The red and blue shifts observed for the emissions of complexes 1−8 are most probably due to the different ligand conformations and coordination modes adopted by the organic ligands and the formation of different structural types.
