Synthesis,Structure and Luminescence of a Novel 2D Cadmium Coordination Polymer with a Ligand Generated in situ

The hydrothermal reaction of 1,2-dicyanobenzene with NaN3 in the presence of Cd(NO3)2 affords a novel 2D cadmium tetrazolyl-benzoate,{Cd(tzbz)(H2O)}n (H2tzbz is 2-(5-tetrazolyl)-benzoate). The tzbz ligand is generated in situ through the 2+3 Sharpless cycloaddition reaction and hydrolyzation. Its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The crystal crystallizes in the orthorhombic system,space group Pbca with a=9.6659(19),b=7.6366(15),c=25.964(5) ,V=1916.5(7) 3,Z=8,Mr=318.57,Dc= 2.208 g/cm3,F(000)=1232 and μ=2.276 mm-1. The Cd(Ⅱ) atom is coordinated by four tzbz ligands and one water molecule to form a severely distorted pentangle bipyramid. While each tzbz ligand connects to four Cd(Ⅱ) atoms in a μ4-η1,η2,η1,η1,η1 coordination mode to construct a 2D architecture of the title complex. Additionally,the title complex exhibits strong fluorescence at room temperature in the solid state.
