ABSTRACT: Three cadmium coordination polymers incorporating both a flexible aliphatic R,ω-dicarboxylate and the hydrogenbonding capable diimine 4,4′-dipyridylamine (dpa) have been prepared and structurally characterized. {[Cd(adp)(dpa)]}n (1, adp ) adipate) adopts a doubly interpenetrated decorated primitive cubic three-dimensional (3D) coordination polymer network. {[Cd7(pim)6(dpa)6(H2O)2](ClO4)2 · 6H2O}n (2, pim ) pimelate) exhibits a complex (8,10)-connected binodal self-penetrated cationic 3D network with (384145462)(31041851463) topology constructed from the linkage of oligomeric {Cd7(dpa)6(H2O)2}14+ secondary building units through pimelate ligands with different conformations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest-connected binodal self-penetrated lattice reported to date. Extending the length of the R,ω-dicarboxylate resulted in a CdSO4-type (658 topology) 4-connected 3D network in {[Cd(sub)(dpa)] · 2H2O}n (3, sub ) suberate). The length of the polymethylene unit within the dicarboxylate ligand, the coordination preferences at cadmium and anion inclusion, together with dpa-mediated hydrogen bonding, exert a cooperative structure directing effect in this system. All three coordination polymers undergo blue-violet luminescence under ultraviolet irradiation. Introduction Synthetic and structural studies of divalent metal dicarboxylate coordination polymers are a continued focus of present research, driven by the aesthetic appeal of their extended structures and their potential utility in gas storage,1 molecular separation technology,2 ion exchange,3 catalysis,4 nonlinear optical behavior,5 and luminescence.6 The structural diversity apparent in this family of materials is influenced by donor group disposition within the dicarboxylate dianions, their particular binding and bridging modes, and the coordination geometry preferences of the metal ions. Much of the exploratory synthesis of divalent metal coordination polymers has involved aromatic dicarboxylates. While less commonly employed, aliphatic R,ωdicarboxylate ligands have permitted the generation of kinetically metastable coordination polymer networks in the presence or absence of nitrogen-base coligands.7 During coordination polymer self-assembly the methylene groups within the longspanning R,ω-dicarboxylate ligands can adopt different conformations, responding to the requirements of specific coordination environments, carboxylate metal binding modes, and unligated counterions. For instance, the glutarate ligands adopt an anti-gauche conformation in [Cu2(glutarate)2(4,4′-bpy)]n,7i whereas in {[Cu4(4,4′-bipyridine)4(glutarate)2(H2O)4](ClO4)4}n, they possess a more splayed-open anti-anti conformation.7j In {[Cd(glutarate)(bpmp)(H2O)] · 6H2O}n [bpmp ) bis(4-methylpyridyl)piperazine],7k the glutarate ligands lie in a very twisted gauche-gauche conformation. Over the past two years, we have exploited the kinked nitrogen donor orientation and the hydrogen-bonding facility of 4,4′-dipyridylamine [dpa] to prepare several flexible aliphatic R,ω-dicarboxylate divalent metal coordination polymers, some * Corresponding author.

with unique topologies including the uniform 5-connected selfcatenated 610-rld-z topology in {[Ni(succinate)(dpa)]Cl}8 and the first-ever triply interpenetrated PtS lattice in [Ni(adp)(dpa)(H2O)2]n [adp ) adipate].9 {[Co(sub)(dpa)(H2O)]n [sub ) suberate] and its nickel analogue possess crystallographic disorder among the central six atoms of the suberate ligands, creating two idealized layer motifs that form a 3D primitive cubic lattice with randomly distributed “ligand vacancies”.10 In these materials and other dpa-containing coordination polymer solids,11–16 the orientation of this diimine’s nitrogen donor atoms and the hydrogen-bonding patterns promoted by its central N-H group act synergistically as important structure-directing agents during self-assembly. Herein we report the extension of this prior work, into dpabased cadmium coordination polymers incorporating even longer aliphatic R,ω-dicarboxylate ligands. All three of the new materials reported in this study, {[Cd(adp)(dpa)]}n (1), {[Cd7(pim)6(dpa)6(H2O)2](ClO4)2 · 6H2O}n (2), and {[Cd(sub)(dpa)] · 2H2O}n (3) [adp ) adipate, pim ) pimelate, sub ) suberate) display 3D coordination polymer networks. However, the overall structural topologies vary with the length of the R,ωdicarboxylate tether. The doubly interpenetrated network of 1 and the noninterpenetrated network of 3 possess different, known 3D structure types. Compound 2 manifests a complex (8,10)connected self-penetrated topology, representing the highestconnected binodal self-penetrated lattice to the best of our knowledge. Luminescence properties are also reported for all three new materials. Experimental Section General Considerations. Cadmium perchlorate hexahydrate and all dicarboxylic acids were purchased from Aldrich. 4,4′-Dipyridylamine (dpa) was prepared via a published procedure.16 Water was deionized above 3 MΩ in-house. Elemental Analysis was carried out using a Perkin-Elmer 2400 Series II CHNS/O Analyzer. IR spectra were recorded on powdered samples using a Perkin-Elmer Spectrum One instrument. Luminescence spectra were obtained with a Hitachi F-4500

elements within their single crystal structures (vide infra). Sharp, medium intensity bands in the range of ∼1600-1200 cm-1 match with stretching modes of the aromatic rings of the dpa ligands.20 Features corresponding to the puckering of these aromatic rings are observed in the region between 820 and 600 cm-1. Asymmetric and symmetric C-O stretching modes of the fully deprotonated dicarboxylate anions give rise to the strong bands at 1577 and 1358 cm-1, 1589 and 1346 cm-1, and 1525 and 1353 cm-1 for 1-3, respectively. The absence of any spectral features near 1700 cm-1 is indicative of the deprotonation of the original dicarboxylic acids. Broadened bands between ∼3400 and 3200 cm-1 in the spectra of 2 and 3 represent O-H stretching modes present within the hydrogenbonded water molecules. A band at ∼1090 cm-1 in 2 is ascribed to the Cl-O stretching frequencies within the perchlorate anions. Structural Description of [Cd(adp)(dpa)]n (1). Compound 1 possesses an asymmetric unit (Figure 1) consisting of one cadmium atom, one dpa molecule, and two halves of two adipate dianions (adp-A, O1-O2/C11-C13; adp-B, O3-O4/C21-C23). Three atoms within the adp-B ligand (C22, O3, O4) are disordered equally over two positions. The cadmium ion manifests a slightly distorted octahedral [CdO4N2] coordination environment, with two trans nitrogen donor atoms from dpa ligands, two carboxylate oxygen donors from two different adp-B ligands, and two oxygen donors from a chelating terminus of a adp-A ligand. Bond lengths and angles are standard for chelated octahedral coordination at cadmium (Table 2). Neighboring cadmium atoms are joined into a {Cd2} binuclear unit with a six-membered {CdOCdOCO} ring by the bridging carboxylate terminus of one adp-B ligand, and a µ2-oxygen atom belonging to a second adp-B ligand. The Cd · · · Cd distance across the binuclear unit measures 3.872 Å. Through the µ2carboxylato/µ2-oxygen exotetradentate bridging mode of the gauche-gauche conformation adp-B ligands (88.3 and 74.8° 4-C atom torsion angles), adjacent {Cd2} binuclear units are

The [Cd(adp)]n layers in 1 are similar to those seen in {[Cd(adp)(1,10phenanthroline)] · 3H2O}.7a Parallel [Cd(adp)]n layers are connected by the tethering dpa ligands to form a 3D [Cd(adp)(dpa)]n coordination polymer network, with a through-imine Cd · · · Cd approach distance of 12.185 Å. The rectangular channels within a single network, with ∼16.4 × 14.4 Å apertures as defined by through-space Cd · · · Cd distances neglecting van der Waals radii, allow interpenetration of an identical net (Figure 3) assisted by hydrogen bonding between the central amines of the dpa ligands in one network and carboxylate oxygen atoms of the adp-A dianions in the other (Table 3). These supramolecular interactions are optimized by the 32.7° inter-ring twist between the pyridyl rings of the dpa ligands. Considering the centroids of the {Cd2} binuclear units as 6-connected nodes, a doubly interpenetrated R-Po primitive cubic lattice with 41263 topology can be invoked. The structure of 1 is similar in nature to those of [Cd(succinate)(dpa)]n8 and [Cd(glutarate)(dpa)]n,21 indicating

that the flexibility of the aliphatic dicarboxylates can permit generation of similar coordination polymer networks during selfassembly in this system. Structural Description of {[Cd7(pim)6(dpa)6(H2O)2](ClO4)2 · 6H2O}n (2). The large asymmetric unit of 2 contains four crystallographically distinct cadmium atoms, one of which (Cd2) rests on a crystallographic inversion center. Three pimelate dianions (pim-A, C31-C37/O1-O4; pim-B, C41-C47/O5-O8; pim-C, C51-C57/O14-O17), three dpa ligands (dpa-A, N1-N3; dpa-B, N4-N6; dpa-C, N7-N9), one aqua ligand, one unligated perchlorate anion, and three water molecules of crystallization comprise the rest of the asymmetric unit (Figure 4). Operation of the inversion center at Cd2 generates a cationic [Cd7(dpa)6(H2O)2]14+ oligomer (Figure 5), wherein the connectivity string of the cadmium atoms is Cd3 · · · Cd1 · · · Cd4 · · · Cd2 · · · Cd4 · · · Cd1 · · · Cd3.

chelating pim-A carboxylate group. Cd2 manifests a more regular {CdN2O4} octahedral environment, with trans nitrogen donors from two different yet crystallographically identical dpa-A ligands, and oxygen donor atoms from pim-A and pimC. Atoms Cd1 and Cd4 are both pentagonal bipyramidally coordinated in a {CdN2O5} arrangement. The trans nitrogen donors at Cd1 belong to dpa-B and dpa-C; those at Cd4 belong to dpa-C and dpa-A. Cd1 is bound in the equatorial plane of its coordination sphere by a single oxygen atom from pim-C and chelating carboxylates from different termini of two different

pim-A ligands. Similarly, the coordination sphere at Cd4 is rounded out by a single oxygen atom from one pim-B and chelating carboxylates from pim-C and a different pim-B ligand. Within the [Cd7(dpa)6(H2O)2]14+ oligomer, the terminal Cd3 atoms connect inward to Cd1 atoms through dpa-B ligands with an inter-ring torsion angle of 31.8°. In turn, Cd1 atoms connect to Cd4 atoms through dpa-C tethers, which have a much narrower inter-ring torsion measuring 17.4°. Both Cd4 atoms conjoin to the central Cd2 atom through dpa-A, whose pyridyl

rings are twisted by 19.9° with respect to each other. The Cd · · · Cd distances through dpa-A, dpa-B, and dpa-C within the oligomer measure 12.073, 12.229, and 12.170 Å, respectively. The [Cd7(dpa)6(H2O)2]14+ oligomers are joined together by pimelate oxygen atoms to produce an undulating layered motif (Figure 6), where the “wavelength” of 23.199 Å gives the b lattice parameter. Unligated perchlorate anions are situated near the layer pattern, held in place by hydrogen bonding mediated by the central amine groups of dpa-C ligands. The peaks and troughs of the undulating layer are marked by Cd3 atoms, the terminal cadmium positions within the oligomers. These are connected to Cd4 atoms through pim-C bis(bridging) carboxylates, and to Cd1 atoms through carboxylate oxygen atoms belonging to pim-A. The Cd3 · · · Cd4 and Cd3 · · · Cd1 distances are 4.393 and 4.470 Å, respectively. Cd4 atoms in adjacent oligomers are bound to each other through oxygen atoms of two different pim-B ligands, forming a small {Cd2O2} parallelogram with a Cd · · · Cd distance of 3.791 Å. Cd1 atoms connect to Cd2 atoms in neighboring oligomers through pim-A oxygen atoms and through a bis(bridging) pim-C carboxylate, with a Cd · · · Cd distance equaling 4.225 Å. The interactions between cadmium atoms in adjacent oligomers are shown in a face-on view of the layer motif, seen in Figure 7. The oligomer-based layers are connected through the full length of all three types of pimelate ligand to generate the cationic 3D {[Cd7(pim)6(dpa)6(H2O)2]n2n+ coordination polymer network within 2 (Figure 8). The closest Cd · · · Cd distance between layers, 12.040 Å, determines the a lattice parameter. The exotetradentate pim-A ligands, which adopt an anti-antigauche-anti conformation (torsion angles 178.1, 178.4, 66.9 and 175.2°), bridge Cd3 and Cd1 atoms in one layer and Cd2 and Cd1 atoms in another. In contrast, the pim-B ligands are exotridentate, connecting Cd3 atoms with two Cd4 atoms in another layer. These also have an anti-anti conformation (torsion angles 173.0, 174.6, 74.2, and 164.2°). The pim-C ligands are exotetradentate, connecting Cd1 and Cd3 atoms in one layer with Cd2 and Cd4 atoms in the next; these rest in an anti-anti-anti-gauche conformation (torsion angles 174.1, 178.7, 179.8, and 64.4°).

If the special position Cd2 atoms and the centroids of the {Cd2O2} parallelograms formed by Cd4 atoms are considered as connecting nodes, the cationic framework of 2 can be considered to be a (8,10)-connected 3D network (Figure 9). The Scha¨fli symbol for this highly complex topology is (384145462)(31041851463) as determined by TOPOS software,22 with the Cd2 atoms serving as 8-connected nodes. Moreover, 2 represents another entry in the small but growing family of selfpenetrated networks, with its connecting ligands penetrating through the smallest circuits elsewhere in the network. Several modes of self-penetration/ring-crossing were found by TOPOS (see the Supporting Information for topological analysis); the simplest involves the self-penetration of four-membered circuits formed from {Cd2O2} centroids by six-membered circuits formed by the connection of four Cd2 atoms with two {Cd2O2}

centroids (Figure 10). To the best of our knowledge, the (8,10)connectivity of 2 represents the highest connected binodal selfpenetrated lattice reported to date.23 In addition to perchlorate ions, isolated water molecules and water molecule dimers exist in the incipient void space within the 3D self-penetrated cationic network of 2. These unligated species are held in place to the coordination polymer matrix by hydrogen bonding patterns (Table 3) provided by the dpa ligands and carboxylate oxygen atoms. The extra-framework space filled by all of the unligated species occupies 13.7% of the unit cell volume of 2, as calculated by PLATON.24 Structural Description of {[Cd(sub)(dpa)] · 2H2O}n (3). The asymmetric unit of compound 3 consists of two cadmium atoms, two suberate dianions (sub-A, O1-O4; sub-B, O5-O8) and two dpa molecules (dpa-A, N1-N3; dpa-B, N4-N6) along with four water molecules of crystallization (Figure 11). Each cadmium atom is seven-coordinate with a {CdN2O5} pentagonal bipyramidal geometry, with trans nitrogen donor atoms in the axial positions belonging to dpa-A and dpa-B ligands. The equatorial coordination sites at Cd1 are taken up by two chelating termini of sub-A dianions, along with a single oxygen

donor atom from a third sub-A ligand. The coordination environment about Cd2 is very similar, with oxygen donor atoms provided by three different sub-B ligands. Bond lengths and angles about cadmium are consistent with distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination (Table 5). Cd1 atoms are joined into pinched binuclear {Cd2O2} parallelograms by µ2-oxygen atoms from sub-A carboxylates. The Cd · · · Cd through space distance is 3.824 Å, with Cd · · · Cd · · · Cd angles of 76.4 and 103.6°. Cd2 atoms are connected in very similar binuclear units by oxygen atoms from sub-B carboxylates, but with a shorter Cd · · · Cd distance of 3.788 Å. The {Cd2O2} parallelograms based on Cd2 are even more distorted from rectangular than those built from Cd1, with Cd · · · Cd · · · Cd angles of 75.0 and 105.0°. The binuclear {Cd2O2} units based on Cd1 and Cd2 atoms are linked into 1-D [Cd(sub)]n chains through bis(chelating) sub-A and sub-B carboxylates, respectively (Figure 12). In both sub-A and sub-B, the pimelate conformation is gaucheanti-anti-anti-gauche, but with subtly altered torsion angles (sub-A: 68.9, 168.8, 174.7, 176.0, 69.8°; sub-B: 57.0, 170.0, 166.5, 165.5, 68.4°). The [Cd(sub)]n chains based on Cd1 and

sub-A are oriented along the a crystal direction; those based on Cd2 and sub-B are arranged along b. Individual [Cd(sub)]n chains are connected into the 3D covalent lattice of 3 through bridging dpa ligands (Figure 13). The Cd · · · Cd distances through dpa-A and dpa-B are 12.014 and 12.227 Å, respectively. The different metal-metal contact lengths are caused by slight variances in the inter-ring torsion angles of the dpa ligands (29.2° in dpa-A, 31.2° in dpa-B). If

the centroids of the {Cd2O2} parallelograms are taken as connecting nodes, the topology of 3 is a 4-connected 658 (CdSO4 structure type25) noninterpenetrated net. The stability of the structure is enhanced by hydrogen bonding between the dpa-B amine and an oxygen atom from sub-A. Acyclic water molecule trimers and isolated water molecules lie in the extra-framework spaces within the 3D network of 3 (10.0% of the unit-cell volume). The cocrystallized species are anchored to the

coordination polymer network via hydrogen bonding involving dpa-A and both suberate ligands, supplemented by some weak C-H · · · O interactions originating from the dpa motifs. Infor-

mation regarding these supramolecular interactions is given in Table 3 above. Luminescence Behavior of 1-3. In the solid state at room temperature, 1-3 exhibited blue-violet luminescence upon ultraviolet excitation (λ ) 300 nm) (Figure 14). The luminescent behavior in these materials is most likely ascribed to ligandcentered π f π* or π f n orbital transitions within the aromatic rings of the dpa ligands, by comparison with other luminescent d10 coordination polymers containing dipyridyl-type neutral linkers.26 The emission maxima are red-shifted in the order of 3 (λmax ) 360 nm), 2 (λmax ) 375 nm) and 1 (λmax ) 390 nm), though this trend is difficult to rationalize at this time. It is possible that the stronger intensity observed for 3 is related to a diminishing of nonemissive energy-loss mechanisms, perhaps induced by some rigidity imparted by the tethering of the orthogonally arranged [Cd(sub)]n chain motifs. Thermogravimetric Analysis of 1 and 3. Although compound 2 was not subjected to heating because of the explosive tendencies of perchlorate-containing compounds, polycrystalline samples of 1 and 3 were subjected to thermogravimetric analysis to test their dehydration and/or decomposition behavior. The mass of 1 was stable to ∼275 °C, whereupon a significant mass loss occurred, indicating likely destruction of the doubly interpenetrated 3D coordination polymer framework. The mass remnant of 17.2% at ∼650 °C marks the deposition of Cd metal, some of which had evaporated (bp Cd ) 765 °C). Compound 3 had lost 1 equiv. of cocrystallized water on standing at room temperature, with the second equivalent removed by heating to 50 °C (3.5% mass loss observed, 7.0% calc’d for two molar equivalents of H2O). At ∼250 °C, a precipitous mass loss was observed, indicating ejection of the organic components. The 26.0% mass remnant at 650 °C is consistent with a deposition

of CdO (25.9% calcd). TGA traces of 1 and 3 are given in Figures S1 and S2 (see the Supporting Information). Conclusions Use of long-spanning, flexible R,ω-dicarboxylate ligands in conjunction with dpa, a kinked-donor disposition diimine, resulted in a series of luminescent cadmium coordination polymers with 3D structures. Compound 1, containing adipate moieties, presented a doubly interpenetrated primitive cubic lattice, very similar to its succinate and glutarate congeners. Thus, the presence of two, three, or four methylene units in the R,ω-dicarboxylate chain does not appreciably alter the overall coordination polymer topology. However, members of this series based on longer R,ω-dicarboxylates manifest significant structural differences, showing synergistic effects between the coordination geometry at the d10 configuration divalent cadmium ion and aliphatic group conformation. The suberate-containing material 3 displays a 4-connected noninterpenetrated 658 topology lattice, in contrast to the “ligand-vacancy” primitive cubic net of its cobalt and nickel analogues. Use of the seven-carbon pimelate ligand resulted in the coordination polymer 2 featuring a complicated cationic self-penetrated (8,10)-connected lattice; representing the highest connectedness for a self-penetrated topology reported to date to the best of our knowledge.
