One-Dimensional Coordination Polymers: Complexity and Diversity in Structures, Properties, and Applications

Two one-dimension copper(II) coordination polymers based on imine-based bidentate Schiff-base ligand: synthesis, crystal structure and luminescent properties

Two new one-dimension copper(II) coordination polymers [CuL(2)(NCS)(2)](n) (1) and [CuL(2)(NO(3))(2)](n) (2) (L=(C(5)H(4)N)C(CH(3))=N-N=(CH(3))C(C(5)H(4)N)) have been synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, TG technique and X-ray crystallography. Each Cu(II) atom has a distorted octahedral N(6) (1) or N(4)O(2) (2) environment with four pyridyl N atoms from four ligands and two N atoms from two NCS(-) anions for polymer 1 or two O atoms from two NO(3)(-) anions for polymer 2, respectively. A pair of bis-monodentate bridging ligands links two Cu(II) centers to form one dimension chain structure containing bimetallic 22-membered macrometallacyclic rings. 1D chain is held together with its neighboring ones via C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds for 1 and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, C-H⋯π interactions for 2 to form a 3D supramolecular structure, respectively. The luminescent properties of the polymers 1 and 2 were investigated in the solid state at room temperature.

A chiral interdigitated supramolecular network assembled from single-stranded helical tubes

The amino-functionalized helical chiral one-dimensional coordination polymer catena-poly[[bis(pyridine-κN)zinc(II)]-μ-2-aminobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylato-κ(4)O(1),O(1'):O(4),O(4')], [Zn(C(8)H(5)NO(4))(C(5)H(5)N)(2)](n), has an extended structure that is assembled from 2-aminobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate anions and Zn(2+) cations and which presents a left-handed 4(3) helix with a pitch of 25.6975 (9) Å. All the pyridine rings and all the amino groups point away from the helix to generate a hollow tube with a cross-section of approximately 8 × 8 Å running parallel to the crystallographic c direction. Each single-stranded helix is interdigitated with four neighbouring helices via N-H···O hydrogen bonds, which gives rise to a dense homochiral three-dimensional supramolecular network.

One-dimensional uranium-organic coordination polymers: crystal and electronic structures of uranyl-diacetohydroxamate

The structure of the uranyl-diacetohydroxamate compound, UO(2)(C(2)NO(2)H(4))(2), was elucidated using a combination of single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements and all-electron scalar relativistic density functional calculations. This polymeric compound crystallizes in the C2/c space group (IT No. 15; a = 12.8386(13) Å, b = 7.5661(7) Å, c = 8.9299(9) Å, β = 103.185(2) °; Z = 4), with main-chain repeating units featuring a bidentate structure analogous to that frequently found for d-block as well as lanthanide metal ions. Density functional analysis reveals that this compound is a semiconductor, with a direct band gap of 1.1 eV.
