Based on two promising p-CPhH4IDC and o-CPhH4IDC ligands, one 2D coordination polymer, [Ca(p-CPhH2IDC)(H2O)]n (p-CPhH4IDC = 2-(4-carboxylphenyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid) (I) and one novel dimeric complex, [Cd2(o-CPhH2IDC)2(H2O)6] • 4H2O (o-CPhH4IDC = 2-(2-carboxylphenyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid) (II) have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction (CIF files CCDC nos. 929826 (I), 959841 (II)). Polymer I exhibits a graceful 2D grid sheet structure. Polymer II is a binuclear complex in which two Cd2+ ions are bridged by two carboxyates from two o-CPhH2IDC2- ligands. Four and two types of coordination environments around the Ca and Cd atoms, respectively can be observed. Furthermore, the solid-state photoluminescence and thermal properties of the two complexes have been investigated.

INTRODUCTION

In recent years, the design of functional complexes via metal ions and various organic ligands has become a hot research field. However, it is still a far-reaching challenge to predict the assembly of complexes owing to various influence factors such as pH values, molar ratios of raw materials, reaction solvents and temperatures [1—3]. As one might expect, the key is to select a powerful multifunctional organic ligand to build up useful complexes. For example, the types of organic linkers with N- or O-donors have led to a wide range of complexes with numerous interesting bridging modes [4—6]. That is to say, one of the best building bricks that can be used to attain such complexes is the imidazole-based dicarboxylate ligand, which can adopt different bonding modes to metals. Our laboratory has introduced 2-carboxyphenyl and 4-carbox-yphenyl groups into the 2-position of the imida-zole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (H3IDC) system respectively so as to synthesize two promising ligands,

2-(2-carboxylphenyl)-1#-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxy-lic acid (o-CPhH4IDC), and 2-(4-carboxylphenyl)-1#-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (p-CPhH4IDC). More importantly, a series of fascinating structures bearing o-CPhH4IDC or ^-CPhH4IDC have been obtained [7, 8].

This prompted us to prepare more similar complexes to explore their properties. To us excitement, two complexes: polymer [Ca(p-CPhH2IDC)(H2O)]„ (I) and dimer [Cd2(o-CPhH2IDC)2(H2O)6] • 4H2O (II) have been synthesized successfully (Scheme 1). In this paper, single-crystal X-ray diffractions reveal that the ^-CPhH4IDC and o-CPhH4IDC ligands show a variety of coordination modes severally (Fig. 1). The structural analyses of the complexes have been discussed in detail. Moreover, the thermal and solid-state photoluminescence properties of the complexes have also been investigated. The syntheses of complexes I and II are given below:

EXPERIMENTAL

Materials and methods. All chemicals were of reagent grade quality obtained from commercial sources and used without further purification. The organic ligands o-CPhH4IDC and ^-CPhH4IDC were prepared according to the literature procedure [9]. Elemental analyses (C, H, and N) were performed on a FLASH EA 1112 analyzer. IR Spectra were recorded on a BRUKER TENSOR 27 spectrophotometer as KBr pellets in the 400-4000 cm-1 region. TG measurements were performed by heating the crystalline sample from 20 to 1100°C at a rate of 10°C min-1 in the air on a Netzsch STA 409PC differential thermal

analyzer. Fluorescence spectra were characterized at room temperature by a F-7000 fluorescence spectrophotometer (240 nm/min).

Synthesis of I. A mixture of ^-CPhH4IDC (27.4 mg, 0.1 mmol), CaCl2 (11.1 mg, 0.1 mmol), H2O (7 mL), triethylamine (Et3N) (0.028 mL, 0.2 mmol) was sealed in a 25 mL Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave, heated at 160°C for 72 h, and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10°C/h. The colorless long-strip crystals of I were isolated, washed with distilled water, and dried in air (51% yield based on Ca).

X-ray crystallography. Measurements of compounds I and II were made on a Bruker smart APEXII CCD diffractometer with a graphite-monochromated MoZa radiation (X = 0.71073 A). Single crystals of I and II were selected and mounted on a glass fiber. All data were collected at room temperature 296(2) K using the ®—29 scan technique and corrected for Lorenz-polarization effects. A correction for secondary extinction was applied. The two structures were

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

X-ray single crystal diffraction analyses reveal that compound I is a 2D network. The asymmetrical unit of I consists of a crystallographic independent Ca2+ cation which surrounded by four ^-CPhH2IDC2-ligands and one coordinated H2O molecules. As shown in Fig. 2a, the central Ca2+ ion has a seven-coordinate environment occupied by five O atoms and one N atom of carboxy groups from four individual ^-CPhH2IDC2- ligands and the remaining one site

occupied by one O atoms from one coordinated water molecule. The Ca—O bond lengths are in the range of 2.2845(17)-2.5173(17) A, while the Ca-N bond lengths are 2.546(2) A are in good with the bond lengths observed in other Ca(II) compounds [11-14].

The ligand ^-CPhH2IDC2- in I adopts the coordination mode linking f
