1 Introduction

Due to the intriguing variety of architecture and potential

applications in luminescence, gas storage, molecular

magnetism and ion exchange, the construction of metal–

organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted widespread

interest in recent years [1–12]. Carboxylate ligands have

been employed most often in the design and synthesis for

MOFs because of their versatile linking capability in virtue

of both covalent bonding and supramolecular interaction

[13–18].

We selected the 3,40-biphenyl-dicarboxylic acid for the

following reasons. First, the two carboxylic groups may

have different coordination modes with an ability to gen-

erate metal oxygen chains or clusters. Second, two phenyl

rings are not coplanar which can meet the different coor-

dination requirements of metal centers. In this work, we

also used the bis(imidazole)ligands of bib and bimb as

organic units to construct the hybrid organic–inorganic

compounds. The selection of the two ligands is based on

the following considerations: (i) the bis(imidazole) ligands

have flexibility and conformational freedom, which may

provide different capacities for spatial extension; (ii) these

ligands can act as bridges to construct high dimensional

frameworks. Based on the above mention, we designed and

synthesized three new coordination polymers [Zn(pda)

(H2O)]n (1), [Ni(pda)(bib)1.5]n (2) and [Mn2(pda)2(bimb)]n

(3) based on 3,40-biphenyl-dicarboxylic acid as the primary

ligand.

2 Experimental

2.1 Materials and Physical Measurements

All reagents and solvents employed were commercially

available and were used as received without further puri-

fication. Elemental analysis was carried out on a Carlo

Erba 1106 full-automatic trace organic elemental analyzer.

FT-IR spectra were recorded with a Bruker Equinox 55 FT-

IR spectrometer as a dry KBr pellet in the 400–4000 cm-1

range. Solid-state fluorescence spectra were recorded on a

F-4600 equipped with a xenon lamp and a quartz carrier at

room temperature.

SADABS programs [19]. All the structures were solved by

direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares

methods on F2 using the program SHEXL 97 [20]. All non-

hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. The hydro-

gen atoms were located by geometrically calculations, and

their positions and thermal parameters were fixed during

the structure refinement. The crystallographic data and

experimental details of structural analyses for coordination

polymers are summarized in Table 1. Selected bond and

angle parameters are given in Table 2.

3 Results and Discussion

3.1 FTIR Spectrum

The spectra of compounds 1–3 display characteristic bands

of the carboxylate anions at *1600 and *1540 cm-1 for

masym(C–O), *1410 cm-1 for msym(C–O). Furthermore, the Dmvalues (masym(C–O) - msym(C–O)) are 237 and 161 cm-1 for

1, 205 and 120 cm-1 for 1, and 152 for 3, respectively. The

splitting of carboxylate groups in compounds 1–3 indicates

that the carboxylate groups function in different coordi-

nation fashions [21], consistent with their solid-state

structural features from the results of the crystal structure

analyses.

3.2 Description of Crystal Structures

3.2.1 [Zn(pda)(H2O)]n (1)

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that each Zn(II)

atom is coordinated by three carboxylate oxygen atoms

from different three L ligands [Zn(1)–O(1) = 1.9378

(15) A, Zn(1)–O(3) = 1.9349(15) A and Zn(1)–O(4) =

1.9259(15) A] and one oxygen atom from water molecule

[Zn(1)–O(5) = 2.0060(18) A] to give a tetrahedron

geometry (Fig. 1a). The carboxylic groups of pda ligand

adopt monodentate and bis-monodentate chelate modes

which lead to link Zn(II) centers to form 1D ladder-like

chains running along a axis (Fig. 1b). The dihedral angle of

two phenyl rings in L ligand is 4.98�. The carboxylate

groups are out of the plane of correspondingly linking

phenyl rings with the dihedral angles between them being

10.35� and 6.43�.

In the compound 1, the chains are bound together by

strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds to create a supra-

molecular architecture. The hydrogen bonding system in

compound 1 consists of the uncoordinated carboxylate

oxygen atom O2 with the hydrogen atoms of H(5A) and

H(5B) from the coordinated water molecule, with a

H(5A)…O(2) distance of 1.92(3) A [the angle of 165(3)�,

symmetry code: x, y, 1 ? z] and a H(5B)…O(2) distance

of 1.93(3) A [the angle of 170(3)�, symmetry code: x,1/2-y,

1/2 ? z] Table 3.

3.2.2 [Ni(pda)(bib)1.5]n (2)

The fundamental unit of the compound 2 is shown in Fig. 2a,

there is one crystallographically independent Ni(II) ion. The

Ni(II) is five-coordinate with three carboxylate oxygen

atoms from three pda ligands [Ni(1)–O(1) = 2.031(2) A,

Ni(1)–O(3) = 2.141(2) A and Ni(1)–O(4) = 2.231(3) A]

and two nitrogen atoms from two bib ligands [Ni(1)–

N(1) = 2.077(3) A and Ni(1)–N(5) = 2.070(3) A] to give a

square-pyramidal geometry (Fig. 2a). The dihedral angle of

two phenyl rings in pda ligand is 34.68�. The carboxylate

groups are out of the plane of correspondingly linking phenyl

rings with the dihedral angles between them being 7.33� and

5.50�. It is interesting to note that the bib ligand have two

coordinated modes: bidentate and mondetate modes. The

pda and l2-connected bib ligands link Ni(II) ions form 1D

ladder-like chain and the l1-connected bib are filled in the

hole of the 1D chains (Fig. 2b).

3.2.3 [Mn2(pda)2(bmib)]n (3)

The local coordination geometry of polymer [Mn2(pda)2

(bmib)]n with atomic numbering scheme is depicted in

Fig. 3a. It is shown that the asymmetry unit of the molecule

consists of two Mn(II) ions, two coordinated pda ligands

and one bimb ligand. The two Mn(II) ions are in different

coordination environment. Mn1(II) is surrounded by five

coordinated atoms. One coordination sites is occupied

by one nitrogen atoms of bimb ligand [Mn(1)–N(4) =

2.214(3)A] and the others by four carboxylic oxygen

atoms from four different carboxylate ligands [Mn1 (II)–

O(1) = 2.039 A, Mn1 (II)–O(8) = 2.098 (2) A, Mn1(II)–

O(6) = 2.162(2) A and Mn1 (II)–O(6A) = 2.259(3)A].

Mn2(II) is center is coordinated by five oxygen atoms

[Mn2 (II)–O(2) = 2.107 A, Mn2 (II)–O(3) = 2.284 A, Mn2

(II)–O(4) = 2.229 A, Mn2 (II)–O(5) = 2.146 (2) A and

Mn2(II)–O(2) = 2.107 A] from four pda ligands and one

nitrogen atom from bimb ligand [Mn2(II)–N(1) = 2.273(4)

A], showing an octahedral geometry. The pda ligand adopts

two coordination modes: One carboxylate group is bis-

monodentate mode (l2-g1:g1) and the other is bis-mono-

dentate/bridging mode (l2-g1:g2), which bridge adjacent

four Mn(II) ions to form a one-dimensional chain. These

chains are further linked by bridging bimb ligands to

generated a 2D (4,4) grid layer along the ab plane.

3.3 Fluorescent Properties

The solid-state photoluminescence of 3,40-biphenyl-dicar-

boxylic acid ligand exhibits a broad weak fluorescent

emission on 360 nm with an excitation maximum at

314 nm [22]. Compound 1 shows red-shifted fluorescent

emission around 411 nm upon excitation at 350 nm

(Fig. 4). Because Zn(II) ion is difficult to oxidize or reduce,

the fluorescent emission of compound 1 may be assigned to

intraligand (p–p*) fluorescent emission. The enhancement

of luminescence is perhaps a result of the coordination of

carboxylate ligand to a metal center, increasing the asym-

metry and rigidity of the ligand, reducing the non-radiative

decay of the intraligand excited state [23–25].

4 Conclusions

In this paper, we used asymmetry carboxylate and/or

N-donor ligands to construct three new metal–organic

frameworks. X-ray analyses demonstrates that compound 1

and 2 show a one-dimensional structure. Compound 3 is a

two-dimensional (4,4) net. Moreover, the solid state

luminescence demonstrates that compound 1 is a good

candidate for optical material.
