Crystal structure and photoluminescence of a new two-dimensional Cd(II) coordination polymer based on 3-(carboxymethoxy)-2-naphthoic acid

Abstract

Abstract A new Cd(II) coordination polymer, [Cd(CNA)] n (1) (H2CNA = 3-(carboxymethoxy)-2-naphthoic acid), was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 16.9698(18), b = 7.8314(8), c = 8.9553(10) Å, β = 100.657(2)°, V = 1169.6(2) Å3, Z = 4, D calcd. = 2.03 g cm−3, μ(MoK α ) = 1.9 mm−1, F(000) = 696 e, R = 0.0305, wR = 0.0784 for 172 refined parameters and 2285 data. Each CNA anion bridges three Cd(II) cations to give rise to a two-dimensional network structure. Topologically, if each CNA anion is regarded as a linker, and each Cd(II) atom considered as a 4-conencted node, the structure is simplified as a 4-connected (4,4) network. The solid state photoluminescent properties of the compound were also studied at room temperature.
