[CONCLUSIONS]

• three new complexes: [Ag2{1,2-(HOOCCH2O)2C6H4)- ĸ2, O,

O’}2{THF}2](BF4)2(5), [Ni{1,2-(OOCCH2S)2C6H4-ĸ4O,O’S,S’}{cis-

(C3H4N2)}2] (8) and cis-[PdCl2{1,2-((MeOOC)2N)2C6H4-κ2 N, N’}](10) as

potential building blocks for the synthesis of coordination polymers were

synthesized and characterized.

• seven cadmium coordination polymers were synthesized of which: three

one dimensional coordination polymers: [Cd{1,4-

(OOCCH2O)2C6H4}{C6H5N}2{H2O}]n (11), [Cd{1,4-

(OOCCH2O)2C6H4}{C5H5N}3}]n (12) and [Cd{1,2-(OOCC

OOCCH2O)2C6H4}{ H2O}2]n.(H2O)n; two two dimensional mixed ligand

polymers: [Cd2{1,4-(OOCCH2O)2C6H4}2{C10H8N2}{H2O}2]n (13) and

[Cd2{1,2-(OOCCH2O)2C6H4}2{C10H8N2}{H2O}2.7H2O]n (15) and two three

dimensional coordination polymers: [Cd2{1,2-

((OOCCH2)2N)2C6H4}{H2O}2]n (24) and the mixed ligand polymer [Cd4{1,2-

((OOCCH2)2N)2C6H4}{C10H8N2}2{H2O}2.4.25H2O]n (25)

• one copper one dimensional mixed ligands coordination polymer

[Cu2{1,2-(OOCCH2O)2C6H4}{ C10H8N2}2.2H2O]n (16) was synthesized, the

hydrothermal conditions and the presence in the reaction media of 4,4’-

bipyridine leading to the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I)

Page 49: Coordination Polymers of Polycarboxylates:Design, Synthesis and Structures

[CONCLUSION]

• three manganese new compounds have been synthesized: one mixed

ligand three dimensional polymer[Mn2{1,2-

(OOCCH2S)2C6H4}2{C10H8N2}]n(23), one two dimensional coordination

polymer [Mn2{1,2-((OOCCH2)2N)2C6H4}{H2O}4.H2O]n (27) and one

binuclear complex [Mn2{1,2-(OOCCH2S)2C6H4-κ1 S}{C10H8N2-κ

1 N}2 ,{

C10H8N2-κ2 N’, N’’}{H2O}7]

.[1,2-(OOCCH2S)2C6H4].[ C10H8N2]

.6H2O (22)

• three heterobimetallic coordination polymers have also been obtained:

one Ca/Zn one dimensional polymer [CaZn{1,2-

(OOCCH2O)2C6H4}2{H2O}4.4H2O]n (18) and one Ca/Ni one dimensional

polymer [CaNi{1,2-(OOCCH2O)2C6H4}2{H2O}4.4H2O]n (19), both of them

obtained in hydrothermal conditions but also one two dimensional Ag/Cd

coordination polymer [Ag2Cd2{1,2-(OOCCH2S)2C6H4}3{H2O}3.5H2O]n (28)

obtained at room temperature starting from the silver complex 7 as

building block.

• ligands 1-4 adopt different coordination modes depending on the metal to

which they coordinate and/or of the use of coligand. The dicarboxylate

ligands 1-3 adopt semi-flexible conformations while the tetracarboxylate

ligand 4 adopts a flexible conformation.

• the use of 4, 4’-bipyridine as coligand increases the dimensionality of the

Page 50: Coordination Polymers of Polycarboxylates:Design, Synthesis and Structures

[CONCLUSION]

• the synthesis of the manganese compounds: the binuclear complex 22,

the three dimensional coordination polymer 23 and the two dimensional

polymer 27 depends on the pH value of the reaction mixture (See 22 vs

23) or of the presence in the reaction media of 4, 4’-bipyridine (See 27).

• the intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions: between solvate water

molecules and/or carboxylate oxygen atoms and coordinated water

molecules as well as between carboxylate oxygen atoms and coordinated

water molecules lead to the formation of hydrogen bonded

supramolecular networks of superior dimensionalities.
