Description
Summary:In this work a new flexible multi-dentate 1-(4-aminobenzyl)-1,2,4-triazole (abtz) ligand has been designed and synthesized, and a series of two-dimensional (2D) triazole-functionalized metal–organic frameworks, namely {[Cd(abtz) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·(ClO 4 ) 2 ·H 2 O} n ( 1 ), {[Cd(abtz) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·(SiF 6 )} n ( 2 ), {[Cd(abtz) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·(ClO 4 ) 1.64 ·(HSO 4 ) 0.36 ·1.36H 2 O} n ( 3 ), {[Cd(abtz) 2 (NCS)]·(ClO 4 )} n ( 4 ) and {[Ag 2 ( μ 2 -abtz) ( μ 3 -abtz)(ClO 4 )]·(ClO 4 )} n ( 5 ) have been isolated. Firstly, when abtz and corresponding cadmium( ii ) salts are employed, new rectangular-grid 2D coordination frameworks containing free ClO 4 − or SiF 6 2− anions, {[Cd(abtz) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·(ClO 4 ) 2 ·H 2 O} n ( 1 ) and{[Cd(abtz) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·(SiF 6 )} n ( 2 ), can be isolated. Furthermore, in 1 weakly H-bonded ClO 4 − anions present within the voids can be partly exchanged by HSO 4 − anions to generate the anion exchanged crystalline product {[Cd(abtz) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·(ClO 4 ) 1.64 ·(HSO 4 ) 0.36 ·1.36H 2 O} n ( 3 ) in single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SC–SC) manner. On the other hand, 1 can be used as a precursor to react with NH 4 NCS to obtain the 2D bilayer framework {[Cd(abtz) 2 (NCS)]·(ClO 4 )} n ( 4 ) under hydrothermal conditions. This also presents a novel example of structural transformation with bond rupture/formation from a mono-layer framework 1 to a 2D bi-layer framework 4 . Furthermore, when AgClO 4 is used to replace Cd(ClO 4 ) 2 in the reaction system, another 2D layer framework {[Ag 2 ( μ 2 -abtz)( μ 3 -abtz) (ClO 4 )]·(ClO 4 )} n ( 5 ) with unique (2,4,5) connected topology can be isolated. The solid state luminescence properties and PXRD patterns of 1–5 have been investigated. Additionally, luminescence measurements illustrate that complexes 4 and 5 represent novel examples as luminescent probes of new sensing materials. 4 shows highly sensitive response to acetone and Fe 3+ . Besides, 5 is the first report of multidimensional polymers based on triazole derivatives with luminescent response to small biological molecules such as vitamin C in water solutions.
