Anions behaviors for the dimensionalities of coordination polymers based on poly(imidazole) ligands
2012
To explore the influence for the dimensionalities of coordination polymers, in presence of different anions with different behaviors, three new coordination polymers with different dimensionalities have been prepared by reacting M²⁺ (M=Zn or Co) with two structurally related rod-like poly(imidazole) ligands, 1,4-bis(benzoimidazol-1-yl)-phenyl (L¹) and 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-phenyl (L²). Such three new coordination polymers with different architectures, [Zn(L¹)(NO₃)₂]ₙ (1), {[Zn(L²)₂]·2BF₄·2HCCl₃·2H₂O}ₙ (2) and [Co(L²)(SO₄)]ₙ (3), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and characterized by elemental analysis, and IR analysis. Complex 1 is alternative linked by octahedral Zn centers and the ligand L¹ to exhibit a one-dimensional (1D) chain structure. However, complexes 2 and 3 both present layered structures contain a similar -L(ligand)–M(metal)-L–M- chain motifs that found in complex 1. In complex 2, each Zn(II) ion is coordinated by four different L² to form a undulated sheet. Complex 3 also present a undulated sheet structure, however, they were connected by the SO₄ ²⁻ group and the L² ligands, different from only of the L² ligands in complex 2. The result indicates that the different anions behaviors could be the great influence on the degree of dimensionality of coordination polymers.
