Anion-assisted two group IIB metallic coordination architecture and luminescence performance

Аннотация

React of cadmium salts with 4,4'-bis((2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)methyl)biphenyl (Bpbib) yields two one-dimensional (1D) coordination architectures of two new complexes—{[Cd₂(Bpbib)₂(NO₃)₄] • CH₃OH}_n (I) and {[Cd(Bpbib)Cl₂] • 2CH₃OH}_n (II). Complexes I and II were characterized by the elemental analyses, photoluminescence and emission spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (CIF files CCDC nos. 1046021 (I), 1046022 (II)). Complex I is a helical array, whereas II features a zigzag pattern, depending upon the type of their associated anions. In addition to the primary organic linker, the counter anions also have a dominant influence on the overall structures, and even arouse the luminescence performance diversity.
