Synthesis and structural characterization of a Ni(II) coordination polymer with a tripodal 4-imidazolyl-functional ligand

摘要

1,3,5-Tri(1H-imidazol-4-yl)benzene (H3L) reacts with Ni(ClO4)(2)center dot 6H(2)O under hydrothermal conditions at T=100 degrees C to yield a new complex: [Ni(H2L)(2)]center dot 5.5H(2)O (1). The product is characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c and exhibits a binodal (3,6)-connected 2D kgd network structure with (4(3))(2)(4(6).6(6).8(3)) topology.
