Abstract
Abstract Four transition metal complexes with 5-mercapto-1H-tetrazole-1-acetic acid (H2mtaa), namely [Zn(mtaa)(H2O)]n (1), [Cd(mtaa)(H2O)]n (2), [Mn(Hmtaa)2(H2O)2]n (3) and [Co(Hmtaa)2(H2O)2]n (4), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. In 1, the left and right-handed helices are interconnected to form a double helix, with further linkages via the mtaa ions to form a two-dimensional layer. While in 2, the mtaa ions bridge the interconnected helices to yield a three-dimensional structure. In 3 and 4, the carboxylate groups bridge metal atoms in a syn–anti conformation, leading to a two-dimensional sheet. In addition, the photoluminescence of 1 and 2 and the magnetic properties of 3 were investigated.
