摘要

Two structurally related flexible bis(imidazole) ligands, 1,2-bis(iniidazole-1-ylmethyl)-benzene (1,2-bix) and 1,4-bis(imidazole-1-ytmethyl)-benzene (1,4-bix), reacted with Cu(II) salts and various organic acids at room temperature, leading to the formation of nine novel metal-organic coordination architectures, from dinuclear structures to two-dimensional networks: [Cu(2)(CO(3))(2)(1,2-bix)(4)]center dot 8H(2)O (1), [Cu(L(1))(1,2-bix)(2)]center dot 2H(2)O (2), [Cu(2)(L(2))(1,2-bix)(2)(H(2)O)(4)]center dot 8H(2)O (3), [Cu(1,2-bix)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]center dot L(3)center dot 4H(2)O (4), [Cu(L(4))(2)][Cu(1,2-bix)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]center dot 3H(2)O (5), [Cu(L(5))(1,2-bix)]center dot H(2)O (6), [Cu(2)(L(6))(2)(1,2-bix)(2)]center dot H(2)O (7), [Cu(2)(CO(3))(2)(1,4-bix)(3)]center dot(1,4-bix)center dot 10H(2)O (8), and [Cu(L(6))(2)(1,4-bix)][Cu(1,4-bix)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]center dot 4H(2)O (9) (H(2)L(1) = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, H(4)L(2) = 1,2,3,4-benzenetetricarboxylic acid, H(2)L(3) = sebacylic acid, H(2)L(4) = maleic acid, H(2)L(5) = fumaric acid, and H(2)L(6) = 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid). All complexes were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The formation of water clusters and the fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in these complexes were observed. The organic anion effects on the structures of the complexes are also discussed.
