A novel one-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymer of {[Cu(4-CPOA)(3- PyOH)2(H2O)2]?H2O}n (4-CPOA2– = 4-carboxyphenoxyacetate dianion, 3-PyOH = 3-hydroxypyri- dine) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex C19H22N2O10Cu crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 7.672(2), b = 18.490(4), c = 13.271(3) ?, α = 72.81(3), β = 84.64(3), γ = 87.28(3)o, V = 1026.3(4) ?3, Z = 2, Mr = 501.94, Dc = 1.624 g/cm3, μ = 1.126 mm–1, F(000) = 518, the final R = 0.0580 and wR = 0.1310 for 3364 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). Each Cu(II) ion is coordinated with two different carboxyl O atoms from two 4-carboxyphenoxyacetate groups, two N atoms from two 3-PyOH ligands and two water molecules, residing in a distorted octahedral environment. Adjacent Cu(II) atoms are linked by bi-monodentate 4-CPOA2– groups into an one-dimensional chain along the b axis. A three-dimensional supramolecular network is constructed by O–H…O hydrogen bonds.
A novel one-dimensional coordination polymer, {[Cd(3-CNPP)(Py)3]·2H2O}n (3-CNPP2-=2-(3-carboxymethyl-4-nitrophenyl)propionate dianion, Py=pyridine) was synthesized and characterized by the element analysis, IR, TG and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The title complex crystallizes in monoclinic system with space group P21 / n, a=0.974 81(19) nm, b=1.992 3(4) nm, c=1.459 8(3) nm, β=95.92(3)°, and V=2.820 0(10) nm3 Z=4, R=0.037 3, wR=0.083 8. Each cadmium(Ⅱ) atom is seven-coordinated by four oxygen atoms from two different 3-CNPP2- groups and three nitrogen atoms from three pyridine ligands, forming a distorted pentagonal bipyramindal coordination geometry. The cadmium(Ⅱ) atoms are bridged by the tetradentate 3-CNPP2- groups, constructing a one-dimensional zigzag chain structure along c axis. The adjacent distance of Cd...Cd atoms is 0.979 6 nm. The two-dimensional hydrogen-bonding supramolecular network was formed via the hydrogen bond interactions. CCDC: 254257.
