Abstract

Three coordination polymers, namely, Cu(HL1)(timb) (1), Cu3(L2)3(timb)2(H2O)2 ·2H2O·4CH3CN (2) and Cu(L3)0.5(timb)·H2O (3) (timb = 1,3,5-tris(imidazol-1-yl)benzene, H3L1 = 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid, H3L2 = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and H4L3 = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectra (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single crystal structure analysis shows that complex 1 possesses a three-dimensional (3D) twofold interpenetrating architecture with a very rare (3,5)-connected (3·72)(32·75·83) topology. Complex 2 features an interesting 3D (3,4)-connected framework with an unprecedented (4·82)4(42·82·102)2(84·122) topology, whereas complex 3 exhibits a novel 3D (3,4,5)-connected framework with an unusual (4·63·86)2(42·84)(63)2 topology. The results reveal that the carboxylic building blocks play a significant role in promoting the diversity of the observed structural motifs. In addition, their thermal stabilities have also been investigated.

Graphical Abstract

Three Cu(II) complexes with unique topology have been constructed by three different benzene carboxylates and the timb ligand. The results reveal that the carboxylic building blocks play a significant role in promoting the diversity of the observed structural motifs.
