Synthesis and x-ray structures of cadmium coordination polymers based on new pyridine-carboxylate and imidazole-carboxylate linkers

摘要

Three cadmium coordination polymers based on new pyridine-carboxylate and imidazole-carboxylate linkers were synthesized hydrothermally from appropriate cadmium(II) salts and the corresponding ester or benzonitrile precursor ligands. While cadmium bis[3-{3-(2-pyridin-4-yl-vinyl)-phenyl}-propenate] (1) adopts a three-dimensional polymeric network structure, both cadmium bis[3-{3-(2-pyridin-4-yl-vinyl)-phenyl}-propenate] (2) and cadmium-[4-(2-imidazolylvinyl)benzoate-acetate (3) adopt two-dimensional framework structures. In all three compounds, the carboxylate groups bridge the adjacent Cd centers to lead to centrosymmetric coordination networks.
