Influence of N-donor ancillary ligands on the structures of three cadmium(II) complexes with L-shaped carboxylate ligand

A Novel Manganese Complex with Mixed Ligands: Preparation, Structure, Photoluminescent and Semiconductive Properties

A manganese complex with mixed ligands, [Mn(2,2′-biim)2(4,4′-bipy)] n[Mn(2,2′-biim)3]2 n6 n(ClO4)•8 nH2O (2,2′-biim = 2,2′-biimidazole; 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine), has been obtained by a hydrothermal procedure and its structure determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. A two-dimensional (2-D) supramolecular layer is established through hydrogen-bonding interactions. Solid-state photoluminescence measurement reveals that this complex shows a blue light emission. Solid-state diffuse reflectance determination uncovers the presence of a narrow optical band gap of 2.18 eV in this complex.

A new series of Co, Ni, Zn, and Cd metal–organic architectures driven by an unsymmetrical biphenyl-tricarboxylic acid: hydrothermal assembly, structural features and properties

Twelve new Zn(ii), Ni(ii), Co(ii), and Cd(ii) coordination compounds with diverse dimensionalities were assembled using 3′-nitro-biphenyl-2,4,4′-tricarboxylic acid as a main building block.

Pseudopolymorphism based on 1D metallacyclic chains constructed from an angular zwitterionic ditopic diacid organic linker

Two pseudopolymorphs based on one dimensional metallacyclic chains display crystalline-form-dependent optical properties.
