A Three-Dimensional Cadmium(II) Coordination Network Based on 1,3-Di-(1,2,4-triazole-4-yl)benzene: Synthesis, Structure, and Luminescence Properties

1,2,4-Triazole and its derivatives have been investigated extensively in the construction of coordination polymers. Using a 1,2,4-triazole ligand 1,3-di-(1,2,4-triazole-4-yl)benzene (dtb), a new three-dimensional coordination polymer, {[Cd2(dtb)2(SO4)(H2O)]·(1,2-H2bdc)·SO4}n (1) (1,2-H2bdc = 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid), was synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that there are two crystallographically different Cd(II) ions in 1 with distorted pentagonal bipyramidal [CdN4O3] geometry and distorted octahedral [CdN4O2] geometry, respectively. The Cd1 atoms are connected by dtb ligands to generate Cd4(dtb)8 secondary building units (SUBs), and the SUBs are further linked by Cd2 atoms into a three-dimensional network with two different one-dimensional channels of 14.63(2) × 14.63(2) and 7.54(2) × 7.54(2) Å2 along the c axis. The topological analysis of the framework has also been discussed. In addition, compound 1 exhibits strong fluorescence emission in the solid state at room temperature.
