A Zn(II)-Containing Coordination Polymer: Synthesis, Crystal Structure and pH Fluorescent Sensing

Crystal structure of bis-{2-[5-(3,4,5-tri-meth-oxyphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]pyridine}palladium(II) bis-(tri-fluoro-acetate) tri-fluoro-acetic acid disolvate

The new palladium(II) complex, [Pd(C16H16N4O3)2](CF3COO)2·2CF3COOH, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with the asymmetric unit containing half the cation (PdII site symmetry Ci ), one tri-fluoro-actetate anion and one co-crystallized tri-fluoro-acetic acid mol-ecule. Two neutral chelating 2-[5-(3,4,5-tri-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]pyridine ligands coordinate to the PdII ion through the triazole-N and pyridine-N atoms in a distorted trans-PdN4 square-planar configuration [Pd-N 1.991 (2), 2.037 (2) Å; cis N-Pd-N 79.65 (8), 100.35 (8)°]. The complex cation is quite planar, except for the methoxo groups (δ = 0.117 Å for one of the C atoms). The planar configuration is supported by two intra-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, the π-π-stacked cations are arranged in sheets parallel to the ab plane that are flanked on both sides by the tri-fluoro-acetic acid-tri-fluoro-acetate anion pairs. Apart from classical N/O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, weak C-H⋯F/N/O contacts consolidate the three-dimensional architecture. Both tri-fluoro-acetic moieties were found to be disordered over two resolvable positions with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.587 (1):0.413 (17) and 0.530 (6):0.470 (6) for the protonated and deprotonated forms, respectively.

Carbazole and fluorene polyaniline derivatives: Synthesis, properties and application as multiple stimuli-responsive fluorescent chemosensor

Development of conjugated polymers with fluorescence sensing characteristics has received close attention from researchers in fields of environmental protection, biosensing and toxins detection on food. In this paper, novel polyaniline derivatives of poly(9-methyl-9H-carbazol-3-amine) and poly(9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluoren-2-amine) are prepared by facile chemical polymerization. Then they are characterized with NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy), FL (Fluorescence spectrometry) and UV-vis (Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy) characterizations and further applied to the fluorescence detection of different acids and amines. Moreover, the obtained poly(9-methyl-9H-carbazol-3-amine) displays excellent fluorescence properties in the detection for both acids and amines. Besides, this poly(9-methyl-9H-carbazol-3-amine) can not only be used for fluorescence detection in solution, but also can be prepared into solid state and applied in the gas phase fluorescence detection. This work has greatly expanded the scope of application to these polyaniline derivatives materials, opening a new path for the researches on multi-functional chemosensor.
