Discrete hexamer water clusters and 2D water layer trapped in three luminescent Ag/tetramethylpyrazine/benzene-dicarboxylate hosts: 1D chain, 2D layer and 3D network

摘要

Three mix-ligand Ag(I) coordination compounds, namely, {[Ag-10(tpyz) (5)(L1) (5)(H-2 O)(2)]center dot(H-2 O)(4)}(n) (1, tpyz = 2,3,4,5-tetramethylpyrazine, H-2 L1 = phthalic acid), [Ag-4(tpyz) (2)(L2) (2)(H-2 O)]center dot(H-2 O)(5)}(n) (2, H-2 L2 = isophthalic acid) {[Ag-2(tPYz) (2)(L3) (H-2 O)(4)]center dot(H-2 O)(8)}(n) (3, H2 L3 = terephthalic acid), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, PXRD and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. 1 exhibits a 2D layer which can be simplified as a (4,4) net. 2 is a 3D network which can be simplified as a (3,3)-connected 2-nodal net with a point symbol of {10(2).12}{10(2)). 3 consists of linear [Ag(tpyz) (H-2 O)(2)](n) chain. Of particular interest, discrete hexamer water clusters were observed in 1 and 2, while a 2D L10(6) water layer exists in 3. The results suggest that the benzene dicarboxylates play pivotal roles in the formation of the different host architectures as well as different water aggregations. Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and emissive behaviors of these compounds were investigated. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
