A metal-organic framework containing meso-helical chains: Synthesis, characterization and luminescent property

摘要

A new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [Cd3(pmb)2(bpdc)2] 2H2O (1) (pmb = 3,5-bis(4-pyridylmethy-lenoxyl)benzoate, bpdc = 2,2'-biphenyldicarboxylate), has been synthesized by hydrothermal method and structurally characterized through IR, TG and single-crystal X-ray analysis. The infinite wave-like 1D metal-oxygen chains made by Cd3N4O_(12) clusters in 1 bridged by the carboxylate of bpdc ligand, construct a 2D framework in which interesting meso-helical chains are constructed by metal centers and pmb ligands. Solid state luminescent spectrum of 1 also has been investigated at room temperature.
