Three new coordination networks based on a versatile and unsymmetric building block 3-（sulfonyl-glycine）benzoic acid （HAL） ligand and inorganic Co（Ⅱ） salt, [Co（HL）（bipy）2]. ClO4·1.5H2O （1）, [Co3（L）2（H2O）6]·4H2O （2） and [Co（HL）（bpp）（H2O）2]·2H2O （3） （bipy = 2,2-bipyridine, bpp = 1,3-bi（4-pyridyl）propane）, have been synthesized in aqueous media and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Reaction of Co salt with H3L afforded a neutral 1D alternating chain, which shows a 3-D supramolecular network through hydrogen bonds. When the auxiliary 2,2-bipyridine is used, a mononuclear unit is constructed; if using auxiliary ligand bpp, a neutral 1-D uniform chain is obtained and further extended into a 3-D supramolecular structure through versatile hydrogen bonds. The H3L ligand in 1 adopts a bidentate chelating coordination mode while that in 2 and 3 assumes a pentadentate bridging and a bis-monodentate bridging modes, respectively. This work and our previous work evidently demonstrate that the structures vary with altering the second ligands.
A new oxalato-bridged dinickel（Ⅱ） complex [Ni2（NIT-MeImz）4（C2O4）]（Ac）2·8H2O has been synthesized and characterized structurally as well as magnetically.It crystallizes in monoclinic,space group C2/c with a=24.608（4）,b=21.399（3）,c=17.992（3）,β=131.680（2）°,V=7076（2）3,C50H86N16Ni2O24,Mr=1412.77,Z=4,Dc=1.326 g/cm3,μ（MoKα）=0.614 mm-1,F（000）=2984,R=0.0751 and wR=0.1791 for 2956 observed reflections with Ⅰ＆gt;2σ（Ⅰ）.X-ray analysis reveals that the crystal structure consists of [Ni2（NIT-MeImz）4（C2O4）]2＋ moiety and two Ac^- anions. Each nickel（H） ion is six-coordinated with a distorted octahedral geometry： two nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms from NIT-Melmz together with two other oxygen atoms from the oxalato ion. The 2-D net structure is formed and arranged through intermolecular H-bonding interactions. Magnetic measurements show antiferromagnetic interactions for this complex.
A new Cd（Ⅱ） complex（[Cd（H2PIDC）2]n） with singly deprotonated 2-propyl-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate as bridging ligand was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction method.Crystal data：monoclinic,space group P21/c,with a=8.2547（11）,b=10.7071（15）,c=13.9131（14）A,β=126.164（5）o,V=992.8（2）A^3,C16H18N4O8Cd,Mr=506.74,Z=2,Dc=1.695g/cm^3,F（000）=508,μ=1.151 mm^-1,R=0.0296 and wR=0.0812 for 1581 observed reflections.Singly deprotonated ligands（H2PIDC-） act as μ3-bridge and join the Cd（Ⅱ） atoms into a 2-D layer structure.The 2-D layers are further linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds into a 3D network.The luminescent property of the complex was also investigated.
A novel complex [Na（NIT-1＇-MeBzIm）3]ClO4 （NIT-1＇-MeBzIm = 2-{2＇-[（1＇- methyl）benzimidazolyl]}-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide） has been prepared and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and X-ray diffraction methods. The title complex crystallizes in trigonal, space group P3 and Z = 2. Crystal data： C45H57ClN12NaO10, Mr = 984.47, a = 13.9411（8）, b = 13.9411（8）, c = 14.8622（16） A, γ= 120°, V= 2501.5（3） A^3, Dc = 1.307 g/cm^3, μ（MoKα） = 0.152 mm^-1, F（000） = 1038, R = 0.0637 and wR = 0.1813 for 1957 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. X-ray analysis reveals that the Na（I） ion is six-coordinated with three NIT-1＇-MeBzlm radicals. As we know, three radicals coordinating to the Na（I） ion in the main group by a chelate way is the first example. The Na（I） ion resides in a distorted octahedron with a facial configuration. Meanwhile, the intermolecular weak interactions result in a 2-D double layer conformation where the uncoordinated perchlorate anions are inserted in the packing space and take part in the H-bond interactions, and each complex is connected with six neighboring complexes and three perchlorate anions.
