Abstract: A new cadmium complex [Cd(bpndc)(phen)2(H2O)]·2H2O (1) was obtained by hydrothermal assembly of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O with a benzophenone-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (H2bpndc) in the presence of N-donor ligands, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). Complex 1 crystallizes in tetragonal, space group I41/a with a=3.158 69(16) nm, b=3.158 69(16) nm, c=1.544 59(17) nm, V=15.411(3) nm3, Z=16, C39H30N4CdO8, Mr=795.07, Dc=1.371 g·cm-3, μ=0.621 mm, F(000)=6 464, Rint=0.072 7, R1=0.052 3, wR2=0.116 6. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that each metal center located in a distorted octahedron coordination environment, and it is further connected by hydrogen-bond interactions to give a one-dimensional (1D) supramolecular structure. In addition, the luminescent property of complex 1 has been investigated at room temperature. CCDC: 827905. |
