Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of a 2D coordination polymer:: [Cd(C4O4)(C12N2H8)(H2O)]n

The 2D network coordination polymer of Cd parallel to with 1,10-phen and squaric acid, [Cd(C4O4)(C12N2H8)(H2O)](n), has been synthes zed by the hydrothermal method through self-assembling, and it's molecular structure has been characterized by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis. The results show that Cd II is in six-coordinated distortered octahedron environment containing two N-phen, three O-squarate and one O-aqua. The square bridging links three metal centers through a novel mu-1,2,3 coordination model, and which is further assembled into 2D network coordination polymer. The fluorescence at solid state and the thermal stability of the title complex have been studied. The coordination polymer presents a good fluorescent property and thermal stable property, and has potential application prospects. CCDC: 285037.
