摘要

The reactions of semi-rigid bidentate ligand 4,4'-bis(benzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)biphenyl (bbmb) with NiCl(2) and CuCl(2) and Cd(OAc)(2) afford novel complexes {[M(bbmb)(2)(Cl)(OH)](H(2)O)(2)}(n) (M = Ni(1), Cu(2)) and [Cd(2)(OAc)(4)(bbmb)(3)](2)(CH(3)OH)(3)(H(2)O)(2) (3). Both complexes 1 and 2 feature parallel 2-fold interpenetrating (4,4)-windmill-like layer morphology. Complex 3 presents unique discrete quad-nuclear motif comprised by two couples of alternating single and double twisting chains. The three complexes exhibit active second-order NLO effects.
