Abstract
By employing the conjugated bithiophene ligand 5,5′-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-2,2′-bithiophene (bibp), which can exhibit trans and cis conformations, two different CuII coordination polymers, namely, poly[[μ-5,5′-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-2,2′-bithiophene-κ2

, (II), have been prepared through one-pot concomitant crystallization and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction indicates that the most interesting aspect of the structure is the existence of sole trans and cis conformations of the bibp ligand in a single net of (I) and (II), respectively. Compound (I) displays a threefold interpenetrating three-dimensional framework with a 4-connected {65.8} cds topology, whereas (II) features a one-dimensional chain structure. In the crystal of (II), the polymeric chains are further extended through C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. In addition, strong intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds formed between the bridging water molecules and the carboxylate O atoms improve the stability of the framework of (II). Furthermore, solid-state UV–Vis spectroscopy experiments show that compounds (I) and (II) exhibit optical band gaps which are characteristic for optical semiconductors, with values of 2.70 and 2.26 eV, respectively.
