Eight kinds of 1-methyl-3-alkylimidazolium halide [RMI]X (R=ethyl (E), propyl (P), butyl (B) and amyl (A); MI = imidazolium; X= Cl{sup −}, I{sup −}) ionic liquids (ILs) were used as reaction media and obtained a series of 2D [RMI]{sub 2}[Co{sub 3}(BDC){sub 3}X{sub 2}] frameworks through the ionothermal reactions of 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H{sub 2}BDC) with Co(NO{sub 3}){sub 2}·6H{sub 2}O. The 2D [RMI]{sub 2}[Co{sub 3}(BDC){sub 3}X{sub 2}] frameworks exhibit a same (3,6) topology network with [RMI]{sup +} cations locating in the interlayer space. [RMI]{sup +} cations play a template role in the structure constructions, whose influence combining with the effect of X{sup −} anions pass to the TG behaviors. The decomposition temperatures of the [RMI]{sub 2}[Co{sub 3}(BDC){sub 3}X{sub 2}] frameworks decrease with the alkyl chains in [RMI]{sup +} cations, and the compounds containing Cl{sup −} show higher thermal stabilities than those with I{sup −}. However, compounds 1–8 exhibit two similar broad emissions at ca. 380 and 390 nm, assigned to ILCT. The RMI{sup +} templates and the X{sup −} anions do not exert their influence on the fluorescence. - Graphical abstract: Eight 2D [RMI]{sub 2}[Co{sub 3}(BDC){sub 3}X{sub 2}] compounds were synthesized through ionothermal reactions. [RMI]{sup +} cations play a template role in the structure constructions, and tune the TG behaviors combining with the effect of X{sup −} anions. Display Omitted.
