Six novel Zn(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) mixed-ligand coordination complexes, namely, [Zn{sub 2}Na(sip){sub 2}(bpp){sub 3}(Hbpp)(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]·8H{sub 2}O (1), [Cd{sub 3}(sip){sub 2}(nbi){sub 6}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]·7H{sub 2}O (2), [Zn(sip)(nbi){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O)]·Hnbi·3H{sub 2}O (3), [Cd(hip)(nbi){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O)]·nbi·5H{sub 2}O (4), [Cd{sub 2}(nip){sub 2}(nbi){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]·DMF (5), and [Cu(nip)(nbi)(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]·H{sub 2}O (6) (H{sub 3}sip=5-sulfoisophthalic acid, H{sub 2}hip=5-hydroxylisophthalic acid, H{sub 2}nip=5-nitroisophthalic acid, bpp=1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, and nbi=6-nitrobenzimidazole) have been synthesized hydrothermally by the self-assembly of R-isophthalic acid (R=–SO{sub 3}H, –NO{sub 2}, and –OH) and N-donor ligands. Single crystal X-ray analyses reveal that two Zn(II) ions and one Na(I) ion of complex 1 are linked through O atoms to generate a 1D linear chain. Then the 2D supramolecular architectures are constructed via intermolecular interactions. In complex 2, the Cd1 ions are connected by bridging carboxyl groups from sip{sup 3−} anions to form 1D double chain, which are further connected by Cd2 ions to afford 2D layer structure. The adjacent 2D layers are further linked via hydrogen-bonding interactions to give 3D supramolecular network. Compounds 3–5 show 1D chain structures, which are assembled into 2D or 3D supramolecular frameworks via weak interactions. In compound 6, the Cu(II) ions are bridged by the nip{sup 2−} ligands to form 48-membered ring, which is assembled into 1Dchain via the π-π stacking interaction. In addition, the thermal stabilities and fluorescence properties of these compounds have also been studied. - Graphical abstract: A series of Cd(II)/Zn(II)/ Cu(II) coordination polymers based on R-isophthalic acid (R=–SO{sub 3}H, –NO{sub 2}, and –OH) and N-donor ligands have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized. Photoluminescent properties have been discussed. - Highlights: • Six coordination polymers were synthesized based on mixed-ligand strategy. • The polycarboxylate acids play a crucial role in determining the final structures. • Each complex shows diverse structures and different supramolecular interactions.
