Abstract: A novel two-dimensional cadmium(Ⅱ) complex {[Cd(bpds)(bpp)2]·2H2O}n (1) with 4,4′-biphenyldisulfonic acid (H2bpds) and 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) has been synthesized by means of hydrothermal method and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, thermal analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal is of triclinic, space group P1 with a=0.900 96(12) nm, b=1.098 84(14) nm, c=1.125 71(15) nm, α=115.907(2)°, β=92.307 (2)°, γ=105.383 (2)°, V=0.950 8(2) nm3, Dc=1.497 g·cm-3, Z=1, F(000)=440, Goof=1.046, R1=0.028 2, wR2=0.074 9. Complex 1 shows a novel two-dimensional (2D) lamellar structure and further extended into a 3D supramolecular structure through O-H…O and C-H…O hydrogen bonding interactions. Luminescent studies show that complex 1 exhibits intense blue fluorescent emission. CCDC: 769593. |
