Abstract
Treatment of Ni(OAc)2·4 H2O with 3,4-pyrazoledicarboxylic acid (H3pdc) and imidazole (ImH) in different metal-to-ligand ratios afforded two dinuclear nickel(II) complexes, [Ni(Hpdc)(ImH)(H2O)2]2·4 H2O (1) and [Ni(Hpdc)(ImH)2(H2O)]2·2.5 H2O (2), which were characterized by elemental analysis (EA), IR spectra and X-ray diffraction analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Both in 1 and 2, the dinickle unit [Ni2(µ2-Hdpc)2] with six-numbered Ni2N4 ring was formed by a pair of µ2-Hpdc2− ligands linked two Ni(II) ions in N,O-chelating and N‒N-bridging fashions. The dinuclear units in 1 and 2 were expanded to 2D layer structures though hydrogen-bonding interactions between coordination water molecules, ImH molecules and carboxylate oxygen atoms, whereas the lattice water molecules in 1 and 2 just embedded in the 2D layer through intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. Finally, the 2D sheets in 1 were further assembled to a 3D supramolecular architecture via intermolecular C–H⋯O hydrogen bond. Besides, the luminescent and electrochemical properties of two complexes have been reported.
Graphic Abstract
Two dinuclear nickel(II) complexes, [Ni(Hpdc)(ImH)(H2O)2]2·4 H2O (1) and [Ni(Hpdc)(ImH)2(H2O)]2·2.5 H2O (2), were obtained by assembling of a Ni(II) ion, 3,4-pyrazoledicarboxylic acid (H3pdc) and imidazole (ImH) in different metal-to-ligand ratios. In 1 and 2, the O(C, N)−H⋯O hydrogen bonds expanded the dinuclear complexes to 3D/2D supramolecular structures, respectively.
