INTRODUCTION

In the recent years, more attentions were paid tothe new solid-state structures involving the self-as-sembly of molecules into well-defined supramole-cules via non-covalent, multiple intermolecular in-teractions, like hydrogen-bonding, π–π stacking,and metal-ligand bond formation [1, 2]. Especially,the strong, selective, and directional hydrogenbonding interactions act as a most powerful orga-nizing force in supramolecular assembly, resultinginto 1D, 2D or 3D hydrogen-bonded architectures[3, 4]. Usually, the self-assembly of supramoleculesis also frequently inf luenced by several factors, likethe organic ligands, the geometric requirements ofthe metal atom, the anionic counter-ions, the reac-tion temperature, and the solvent system effect [5–7]. The key to construction of a desired architectureis the selection of organic ligands, and in some cas-es, a subtle alteration of organic ligands can lead toa new architecture [8, 9]. The combination withneutral N-donor ligands and anionic O-donor li-

gands can generate more interesting structureswhich cannot be obtained only via one type of li-gands [10–12].

In this regard, N-donor ligands are good candi-dates for the construction of supramolecules, as theappropriate aromatic N-donor chelating ligands arelikely via π–π interactions to produce fascinatingarchitecture [13]. As all known, 1,10-phenantroline(Phen) is the typical chelating N,N'-based second-ary ligand due to its excellent conjugated system andcoordinating ability which has been extensivelystudied to build novel supramolecular structures[14]. 3,4-Dicarboxyl-(3',4'-dicarboxylazophe-nyl)benzene (H4Dczpb) [15], 1,4-naphthalenedi-carboxylic acid (H2Nda) [16, 17], pyromellitic acid(H4Pma) [18, 19] (Scheme 1) had been employed asexo-multidentate ligands for the design and con-struction of novel coordination polymers owing totheir thermal stability and symmetry.

UV-Visible diffuse re-flectance spectra (UV-Vis DRS) of solid samples weremeasured from 200 to 800 nm by PerkinElmer Lamda650S spectrophotometer, in which BaSO4 was used asthe standard with 100% reflectance. Powder X-ray dif-fraction (PXRD) patterns were recorded using a Dan-donghaoyuan DX-2700B diffractometer employingCuKα radiation.

All hydrogen atoms were located by Fourier differ-ence synthesis and geometrical analysis. These hydrogenatoms were allowed to ride on their respective parentatoms.

oxygen (O(1), O(7)) atoms from two COO– groups at-tached to the two different partly deprotonatedH2Dczpb2– ligand, as shown in Fig. 1a and Scheme 2.The Cd–N and Cd–O bond distances are comparableto the normal values [24, 25], and the O(7)Cd(1)N(4),O(1)Cd(1)N(4), O(7)Cd(1)N(6), O(1)Cd(1)N(6),O(7)Cd(1)N(5), O(1)Cd(1)N(5) bond angles are152.53(11)°, 94.98(11)°, 117.67(11)°, 82.87(11)°,85.85(10)°, 150.17(11)°, 83.49(10)°, respectively, indi-cating that the Cd-centered coordination octahedronis seriously distorted, as illustrated in Table 2.

The partly deprotonated H2Dczpb2– anions acts asbis-dentate bridging ligand to join two Cd(1) centerswith two oxygen atoms from two different COO–

groups, and then construct one-dimensional[Cd(Phen)2(H2Dczpb)] chains, as shown in Fig. 1c.However, the coordination modes of H2Dczpb2–

are quite different from [Co2(Phen)4(3,4-Dczpb)2] ·

· 5H2O reported previously [26], in which Dczpb4–

acts as both a bis-monodentate ligand to link twoCo(II) centers and as a counter-ion to compensatethe charge of [Co(Phen)2]2+ unit. The adjacent 1D[Cd(Phen)2(H2Dczpb)] chains are linked into athree-dimensional supramolecular framework via theintermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions(Table 3) and π–π stacking interactions with centroid-centroid distances ranging from 3.690(3) to 3.790(2)Å, as illustrated in Fig. 1b and Table 4.

Similar to the Cd(II) coordination environment incompound I, in II, the Cd(II) center, is six-coordi-nated by four nitrogen atoms (N(1), N(2), N(3) andN(4)) from two different Phen ligands, one oxygen(O(1)) atom from 1,4-HNda, and one C(l) atomfrom CdCl2 [27], to form a distorted octahedron, asillustrated in Fig. 2a and Scheme 2.

Cd(1)–N(1) are 2.315(4), 2.324(4), 2.405(4) and2.432(4) Å, respectively, which are comparable witha typical bond length of Cd–N reported in the previousliterature [25]. The bond angles of N(4)Cd(1)O(1),N(2)Cd(1)O(1), N(4)Cd(1)N(1) and N(2)Cd(1)N(1)are 107.79(13)°, 92.32(14)°, 86.42(14)° and 70.23(15)°,respectively, implying CdN4OCl adopts a distortedoctahedral geometry. Thus, the crystal structure ofcompound II was built up from discrete and neutral[CdCl(Phen)2(HNda)] and three lattice water mole-cules, in which HNda– only coordinated with themetal atom Cd. However, in previously reportedcompounds, H2Nda ligand is bonded to metal atoms

and adopts a multidentate coordination mode [16].Finally compound II was strengthened by hydrogen-bonding interactions (Table 3) and π−π stacking in-teractions with centroid-centroid distances rangingfrom 3.465(3) to 3.926(3) Å, as illustrated in Fig. 2band Table 4.

The crystal structure analysis reveals that the com-pound III consists of the chain of the

and the anion H3Pma–.The Mn(II), in an octahedral geometry, is six-coordi-nated by four nitrogen atoms (N(1), N(2), N(3), andN(4)) from two different Phen ligands (Mn(1)–N(2)

And the IR spectra contained four characteristic adsorp-tion peaks at 825 cm–1 for I , 826 cm–1 for II, which canbe assigned to Cd–N stretching vibrations [29], respec-tively, 658 cm–1 for III and 643 cm–1 for IV, which can beattributed to Mn–N and Co–N stretching vibrations.

PXRD was conducted to confirm the phased puri-ties of compounds I–IV used in the experiments. ForI–IV, the measured PXRD patterns agree well withthose calculated from the X-ray single crystal diffrac-tion data, demonstrating the phase purity of com-pounds I–IV (Fig. 5). By contrast, the slight differ-ences intensities may be assigned to the preferred ori-entation of the crystalline powder samples [30].

UV-Vis DRS were used to access their band gapEg values [31, 32] from the powder samples in order toexplore the conductivity of compounds I–IV. TheEg values were determined as the intersection pointbetween the energy axis (x axis) and the line extrapo-lated from the linear portion of the absorption edge ina plot of Kubelka–Munk function F versus energy E

[33]. The Kubelka–Munk function, F = (1 – R)2/2R,was converted from the recorded diffuse reflectancedata, in which R is the reflectance of an infinitely thicklayer at a given wavelength [34]. The F versus E plotsfor compounds I–IV were shown in Fig. 6a, where thesteep absorption edges were displayed and the Eg val-ues can be assessed as 2.9, 3.0, 2.4 and 2.7 eV, respec-tively, indicating that I–IV show selective absorptionin the ultraviolet region [35, 36], as shown in Fig. 5b.
