摘要

A new complex, {[CdCl(H(2)btc(-))(imb)]center dot H2O}(n) (1), has been synthesized through the reaction of CdCl(2 center dot)2.5H(2)O with ligands 2-(1H-imidazole-1-ylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazole (imb) and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H(3)btc) in water at 80 degrees C. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that complex 1 exhibits 1-D double-stranded chain in which two Cd(II) ions are bridged by two carboxyl groups from two benzenetricarboxylates. These 1-D double-stranded chains are further stacked via hydrogen bonds and the pi-pi interactions leading to 3-D structure. A thermogravimetric analysis was carried out and the fluorescent property of the complex was investigated. Supplemental materials are available for this article.
