Abstract
A new complex, [Cd(mip)(1,6-bih)]n (1) [H2mip = 5-methylisophthalic acid; 1,6-bih = 1,6-bis(imidazol-1-yl)hexane], has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of Cd(II) salt, H2mip and 1,6-bih ligands. Its crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses and IR spectra. The X-ray single-crystal structure shows that complex 1 belongs to the triclinic system, a = 8.3269(9) Å, b = 10.4431(11) Å, c = 12.0864(12) Å, and α = 80.2090(10)°, β = 84.4140(10)°, γ = 84.1660(10)°. The adjacent Cd ions are bridged by mip2− ligands to form a 1D double chains containing alternate 8-membered and 16-membered rings. Further, these 2D layers are bridged by 1.6-bih ligand to form a 2D layer. In addition, photoluminescence properties of complex 1 were investigated.
