Abstract: The title complex, {[Cd2(1,8-nap)2(H2O)2](bpp)2}n(1), a cadmium complex based on mixed naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylate (1,8-nap) and flexible 1,3-bi(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) ligands, has been hydrothermally synthes-ized. It consists of a one-dimensional chain along c axis, which is derived from dimeric unit [Cd2(1,8-nap)2(H2O)2] linked by a pair of bpp ligands. In every [Cd2(1,8-nap)2(H2O)2] dimeric unit, two 1,8-nap act as bridging ligands to connect two Cd(Ⅱ) atoms, forming a sixteen-membered ring. Each Cd(Ⅱ) atom is in a distorted octahedral environment, coordinated by one aqua, two 1,8-nap and two bridging bpp ligands. In addition, two bridging bpp ligands connected two neighboring Cd(Ⅱ) atoms form a twenty-four-membered ring. The TGA and Luminescence property in solid state of complex 1 have been further studied and discussed in this paper. CCDC: 669293. |
