Abstract
Hydrothermal pH-specific reactivity in the binary/ternary
systems of Pb(II) with the carboxylic acids <i>N</i>-hydroxyethyl-iminodiacetic
acid (Heida), 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane-<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>′,<i>N</i>′-tetraacetic
acid (Dpot), and 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) afforded the new well-defined
crystalline compounds [Pb(Heida)]<sub><i>n</i></sub>·<i>n</i>H<sub>2</sub>O(<b>1</b>), [Pb(Phen)(Heida)]·4H<sub>2</sub>O(<b>2</b>), and [Pb<sub>3</sub>(NO<sub>3</sub>)(Dpot)]<sub><i>n</i></sub>(<b>3</b>). All compounds were characterized
by elemental analysis, FT-IR, solution or/and solid-state NMR, and
single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structures in <b>1</b>–<b>2</b> reveal the presence of a Pb(II) center coordinated
to one Heida ligand, with <b>1</b> exhibiting a two-dimensional
(2D) lattice extending to a three-dimensional (3D) one through H-bonding
interactions. The concurrent aqueous speciation study of the binary
Pb(II)–Heida system projects species complementing the synthetic
efforts, thereby lending credence to a global structural speciation
strategy in investigating binary/ternary Pb(II)-Heida/Phen systems.
The involvement of Phen in <b>2</b> projects the significance
of nature and reactivity potential of N-aromatic chelators, disrupting
the binary lattice in <b>1</b> and influencing the nature of
the ultimately arising ternary 3D lattice. <b>3</b> is a ternary
coordination polymer, where Pb(II)-Dpot coordination leads to a 2D
metal–organic-framework material with unique architecture.
The collective physicochemical properties of <b>1</b>–<b>3</b> formulate the salient features of variable dimensionality
metal–organic-framework lattices in binary/ternary Pb(II)-(hydroxy-carboxylate)
structures, based on which new Pb(II) materials with distinct architecture
and spectroscopic signature can be rationally designed and pursued
synthetically
