Two Novel Cu/Mn Metal-Organic Framework Based on Aromatic Dicarboxylic Acid: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Thermal Stability, and Luminescence Properties
<p>Two novel transition metal complexes formulated as [Cu(4,5-Himdc)(phen)]<i><sub>n</sub></i> (<b>1</b>) and [Mn(5,6-Hbidc)(H<sub>2</sub>O)]<i><sub>n</sub></i> (<b>2</b>) (4,5-H<sub>3</sub>imdc = imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, 5,6-H<sub>3</sub>bidc = 1<i>H</i>-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized under hydro(solvo)thermal method at a relatively low temperature and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. <b>1</b> based on 4,5-H<sub>3</sub>imdc displays one-dimensional zigzag chain structure. <b>2</b> based on 5,6-H<sub>3</sub>bidc features a two-dimensional framework with 4-connected topology. Thermal stabilities and luminescence properties of the two complexes were investigated.</p
