Three new Zn(Ⅱ)/Cd(Ⅱ) coordination polymers based on 2-mercaptonicotinic acid (H2mna) with 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene (dpe) introduced as a bridging ligand have been synthesized via hydrothermal method and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction as well as elemental analysis and IR. As reported in this paper, [Zn2(dpe)0.5(mna)2] (1) can be classified as a two-dimensional layer structure in which the 1D chain composed of Zn(Ⅱ) and mna ligands is bridged by dpe ligands, while the complex named [Zn4(dpe)4(mna)4] (2) is a tetra-nuclear cluster compound. These two compounds are further extended to three-dimensional structures by hydrogen bonds along with C-H…π and π…π interactions. Compound 3 with general formular [Cd2(dpe)0.5(mna)2]·H2O belongs to a three-dimensional porous structure in which the 2D metal layers formed by the coordination of Cd(Ⅱ) and mna ligands are connected with the bridging of dpe ligands.
Two new transition-metal organic coordination polymers [M(mna)2](M = Cd(1),Zn(2);mna = 2-mercaptonicotinic anion) have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction along with IR and elemental analyses.Compound 1 is generally a one-dimensional linear structure bridged through the sulfur donor of mna ligand,while 2 is a one-dimensional zigzag chain ligated via the oxygen donor of mna ligand.These compounds further result in three-dimensional structures via intermolecular π...π stacking interactions and/or hydrogen bonding interactions.The two compounds were structurally determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 3.730(3),b = 13.973(12),c = 12.380(11) ,β = 97.953(18)°,V = 639.0(10) 3,Z = 2,CdC12H8O4N2S2,Mr = 420.72,Dc = 2.187 g/cm3,F(000) = 412,Rint = 0.0252,T = 293(2) K,μ = 2.052 mm?1,the final R = 0.0269 and wR = 0.0586 for 1377 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).Complex 2 belongs to monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 13.376(2),b = 12.8429(14),c = 7.4856(10) ,β = 96.190(10)°,V = 1278.5(3) 3,Z = 4,ZnC12H8O4N2S2,Mr = 373.69,Dc = 1.941 g/cm3,F(000) = 752,Rint = 0.0414,T = 293(2) K,μ = 2.264 mm?1,the final R = 0.0418 and wR = 0.0966 for 2396 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).
A new tri-nuclear mixed metal thiolate complex [Ag(PPh3)2]2[Ni(edtO2)2] 1 has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal diffraction.The molecule has a crystallographic inversion centre occupied in the central Ni(II) atom and the two silver(I) atoms are related by the inversion centre.The unique structural feature is that one of thiolates of each edt ligand has been oxidized to sulfinate from the precursor [Ni(edt)2]2-to the neutral linear trinuclear complex.The crystal structure belongs to the monoclinic system,space group P21/n with a = 13.581(11),b = 12.239(9),c = 22.316(17) ,β = 103.08(2)o,V = 3613(5) 3,Z = 2,Mr = 1571.87,Dc = 1.445 g/cm3,μ = 1.046 mm-1,F(000) = 1604,T = 293(2) K,the final R = 0.0652 and wR = 0.1499 for 6776 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).
