摘要: 通过改变溶剂类型和配体浓度, 成功合成了4种不同的配位聚合物, 并对其晶体结构进行了研究。采用Co(Ⅱ)作为金属源, 以甲醇和水(体积比为4∶6)为溶剂体系, 在2, 5-呋喃二羧酸(H2FDCA)和1, 3, 5-三咪唑基苯(L)的特定浓度下合成了二维结构的[Co(L)(FDCA)(H2O)2]·0.5H2O (1)。进一步降低L的浓度并调整溶剂为纯水时, 获得了一维链结构的[Co(HL)2(H2O)2](FDCA)2·6H2O (2)。采用Cu(Ⅱ)为金属盐, 以甲醇和水(体积比为9∶1)为溶剂体系, 在一定浓度的L和H2FDCA下合成了具有一维骨架的[Cu(L)(FDCA)(H2O)]·2H2O (3)。进一步增加L和H2FDCA的浓度并调整溶剂为纯水时, 得到了一维链结构的[Cu(HL)2(H2O)2] (FDCA)2·6H2O (4)。这表明溶剂和配体浓度的改变会影响配位聚合物结构。此外, 探究了配位聚合物1~4在室温下的固态光致发光性能, 并使用扫描电子显微镜观察了其形貌变化。通过密度泛函理论计算发现配合物的负电荷主要集中在配体的O原子和N原子上, 这有利于配体与金属离子的配位。

  • Over the past few decades, transition metal-based coordination polymers (TM-CPs), as important inorganic-organic hybrid materials[1-5], have received extensive attention and in-depth study due to their promising applications in various fields such as adsorption[6-8], separation[9-12], catalysis[13-17], and sensing[18-23]. This research interest mainly stems from their unique chemical structure and tunable compositional properties[24-31], which determine their significant application potential across multiple fields. In the design of novel CPs, many factors are crucial to the material′s dimensionality and topology[32-34]. Yet, the framework structure of CPs mainly depends on the metal coordination preference and the type of ligand as the connector[35-40]. Against this research background, carboxylate-based ligands[41-45] have achieved remarkable success in constructing various CPs. This is mainly due to the ability of carboxylate groups to coordinate with diverse metal ions and their excellent compatibility with various coordination geometries[46-49].

    When designing appealing CPs, Co(Ⅱ) ions with considerable magnetic anisotropy are a good choice to combine with organic ligands to form porous crystalline materials[50-53]. Cu(Ⅱ) exhibits a strong affinity for oxygen donors, and polycarboxylate ligands, including aromatic acids and heterocyclic acids, have been widely used in constructing CPs[54-56]. Among numerous organic ligands, those containing dicarboxylate and dimidazole groups have proven to be ideal candidates for building novel CPs due to their flexible and diverse coordination modes[57-59]. Among them, 1, 3, 5-triimidazole benzene (L) and 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid (H2FDCA), as flexible multidentate ligands, exhibit many fascinating properties. Multidentate ligands can coordinate through oxygen donors in various modes, such as monodentate coordination, chelation, bidentate bridging, monodentate bridging, and chelating bridging.

    We synthesized four CPs by changing the solvent system and ligand concentration through solvothermal method: [Co(L)(FDCA)(H2O)2]·0.5H2O (1), [Co(HL)2(H2O)2](FDCA)2·6H2O (2), [Cu(L)(FDCA)(H2O)]·2H2O (3) and [Cu(HL)2(H2O)2](FDCA)2·6H2O (4). Single- crystal X-ray analysis shows that ligand concentration and solvent systems together control the structure of these CPs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the morphological changes of the CPs, and their room-temperature solid-state photoluminescent properties were studied. Besides, Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed on the CP materials. The electrostatic potential analysis revealed that oxygen and nitrogen atoms carry most of the negative charge, which facilitates more effective coordination between L, H2FDCA, and metal ions.

    All the reagents were purchased commercially and used directly without purification. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was performed on a four-circle diffractometer using a Super Nova-type X-ray single crystal diffractometer (microfocus sealed X-ray tube, Cu , λ=0.154 184 nm) to obtain single-crystal data. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) was performed using a BRUKER D8 ADVANCE diffractometer operated at 40 kV and 40 mA, using Cu radiation (λ=0.154 06 nm), with a 2θ range of 5°-50° and a scan rate of 5 (°)·min-1. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis was performed using a Netzsch synchronous thermal analyzer. The surface morphology of the samples was imaged at high resolution by a SEM 3200 scanning electron microscope, while the elemental composition of the samples was analyzed using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The chemical bonds and functional groups of the samples were characterized using a VERSEX 70 Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). To investigate the optical properties of the samples, fluorescence spectra were measured using an F-7000 fluorescence spectrophotometer.

The temperature was increased to 140 ℃ over 3 h and then cooled to room temperature for 3 d. It was washed three times with deionized water to obtain light-blue transparent crystals and dried under vacuum at 60 ℃ for 24 h.

In summary, both CPs 3 and 4 were synthesized using Cu(Ⅱ) as the metal center, demonstrating the influence of solvent composition and ligand concentration on the formation of distinct coordination frameworks within the same metal system.

    CPs 1-4, which had an appropriate crystallographic size and were transparent and free of cracks, were selected and placed on a single-crystal diffractometer equipped with a single-wavelength X-ray source (Cu radiation, λ=0.154 184 nm) for data collection, and the crystal structures were analyzed and refined using SHELX-97. The crystal structures were solved using SHELXL-2018/3 installed in Olex2 and anisotropically refined using F2-based full-matrix least squares.

    Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis showed that 1 presents a 2D layered neutral skeleton. Its crystal structure belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system and is characterized by the Pbca space group (Table 1). The asymmetric unit of 1 contains one Co(Ⅱ) center, a deprotonated FDCA2- ligand, a L ligand, two coordinated water molecules, and half of a lattice water molecule (Fig.1a). Table S1 shows that the bond distances of Co1—O6 [0.216 0(4) nm] and Co1—N1 [0.211 6(3) nm] are not equal, so the coordination geometry of the Co(Ⅱ) center in 1 is a slightly distorted octahedral geometry configuration (Fig.1b). The central metal Co(Ⅱ) ions were bridged by FDCA2- and L to form a 2D AB interspersed layer structure (Fig.1c).

    The hydrogen atoms are omitted for clarity; Symmetry codes: a: 1-x, 1-y, 1-z; b: x, -1+y, z; c: 1-x, 2-y, 1-z.

    CP 2 presents a 1D chain cationic skeleton. Its crystal structure belongs to the triclinic crystal system and is characterized by the P1 space group (Table 1). The asymmetric unit of 2 contains one Co(Ⅱ) center, two protonated HL+ ligands, two coordinated water molecules, two deprotonated FDCA2- ions for balanced charge, and six lattice water molecules (Fig.2a). Table S1 shows that the bond distances of Co1—O6 [0.212 9(2) nm] and Co1—N1 [0.213 9(2) nm] are not equal, so the coordination geometry of the Co(Ⅱ) center in 2 is also a slightly distorted octahedral geometry configuration (Fig.2b). As shown in Fig.2c, N1 and N4 of the two L ligands connect each Co(Ⅱ) ion via the μ2-bridging mode, forming an infinitely extended 1D looped chain structure.

    Figure 2

    Figure 2.  (a) Coordination environment of Co(Ⅱ) in 2; (b) Geometric configuration of Co(Ⅱ); (c) 1D chain structure

    The Co1 ion in 2 is six-coordinated with four nitrogen atoms from the HL+ ligands and two oxygen atoms from the coordinated water molecules. And the Co1 ion in 1 is six-coordinated with two oxygen atoms in the FDCA2- anion, one oxygen atom in the coordinated water molecule, and three nitrogen atoms in the L ligands. In the presence of varying ligand concentrations and solvents, the difference in the CPs structures from 2D (1) to 1D (2) is attributed to the fact that the deprotonated FDCA2- is uninvolved in the coordination in 2. This also leads to a change in the CPs from a neutral backbone (1) to a cationic backbone (2).

    3 shows a 1D neutral skeleton. It is a triclinic crystal system in the P1 space group (Table 1). The asymmetric unit of 3 contains one Cu(Ⅱ) center, one deprotonated FDCA2- ligand, one L ligand, one coordinated water molecule, and two lattice water molecules. Both carboxylates in the FDCA2- are bridge and chelate two Cu(Ⅱ) ions through three oxygen atoms, and it is worth noting that the furan oxygen atom is also involved in the coordination (Fig.3a). The Cu(Ⅱ) center was six-coordinated with three oxygen atoms from the FDCA2- anion, which includes two oxygen atoms from the carboxylate groups and one furan oxygen atom, as well as an oxygen atom from the coordinated water molecule (Fig.3b). Table S1 shows that the bond distances of Cu1a—O1a [0.197 96(2) nm] and Cu1a—O4 [0.198 67(2) nm], which are not equal, so the coordination geometry of the Cu(Ⅱ) center in 3 is a slightly distorted octahedral configuration (Fig.3b). As shown in Fig.3c, N1 and N6 of the two L ligands connected each Cu(Ⅱ) ion via the μ2-bridging mode, thus forming an infinitely extended 1D looped chain structure.

    CP 4 shows a 1D cationic skeleton. Its crystal structure belongs to the triclinic crystal system and is characterized by the P1 space group (Table 1). The asymmetric unit of 4 contains one Cu(Ⅱ) center, two protonated HL+ ligands, two coordinated water molecules, and two deprotonated FDCA2- ions for balanced charge, and six lattice water molecules (Fig.4a). The Cu(Ⅱ) center was six-coordinated with two nitrogen atoms each from two HL+ ligands, and two oxygen atoms from the coordinated water molecules. From Fig.4b, it can be seen that the coordination geometry of the Cu(Ⅱ) center in 4 is octahedral. As shown in Fig.4c, N1 and N4 of the two HL+ ligands connected each Cu(Ⅱ) ion via the μ2-bridging mode, thus forming an infinitely extended 1D looped chain structure.

    Figure 4

    The hydrogen atoms are omitted for clarity; Symmetry codes: a: x, 1+y, z; b: 1-x, 1-y, -z; c: 1-x, 2-y, -z.

    Although 3 and 4 are both 1D looped chains, 3 is a bimetallic [(L)2-Cu2]n neutral skeleton consisting of a deprotonated FDCA2- bridged and chelated by three oxygen atoms, whereas 4 is a monometallic [(HL)-Cu]n cationic backbone formed by the attachment of N atoms (HL+ ligand). In addition, the water molecules are involved in the coordination of 1-4, which shows that water molecules also have a strong coordination ability. Adjusting the solvent to water and increasing the concentration of H2FDCA, based on 1 and 3, the deprotonated FDCA2- ligands are uninvolved in the coordination in 2 and 4. This is a result of the presence of more water molecules occupying some of the sites when the pure solvent is water. Therefore, solvent molecules may have been involved in crystal growth as templating or structure-directing agents during the experiment, leading to the formation of specific crystal morphologies and structures. The presence of coordination sites for the water molecule allows for a change in the coordination mode, resulting in a different structure, which is consistent with our experimental results.

    The morphology of 1-4 was observed by SEM. As shown in Fig.5a-5b, SEM shows that 1 and 2 had irregular rectangular morphology. As shown in Fig.5c-5d, SEM shows that 3 and 4 had regular parallel tetrahedral morphology. The EDS indicates that the elements contained in 1-4 were well distributed (Fig.S1-S4). The SEM comparisons revealed that by adjusting the solvent system and ligand concentration, the change in crystal structure does not produce a large change in the morphology.

    The experimental PXRD data for samples 1, 2, 3, and 4 were compared with the corresponding simulated data from single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Fig.6). The comparison revealed that the diffraction peaks of the experimental and simulated data were in good agreement, indicating that the respective crystal phases of the complexes are pure.

    TG analysis was conducted on samples 1, 2, 3, and 4 in an N2 environment to assess their thermal stability (Fig.7). The first weightless stage of 1 was from room temperature to198.08 ℃, which is the loss of two coordination water and 0.5 lattice water molecules, and the loss in weight was 8.3% (Calcd. 8.4%). The second stage of weightlessness was from 288 to 373 ℃, attributed to the loss of FDCA2-, with a weight loss of about 24.4% (Calcd. 28.8%). Above 373 ℃, the decomposition attributed to the remaining ligand L led to the complete collapse of the skeleton. At 800 ℃, the residual weight was 48.1% (Fig.7a).

    The first weightless stage of 2 was from room temperature to 176 ℃, which is the loss of two coordinated water molecules and six lattice water molecules, and a weight of 14.2% (Calcd. 13.5%). The second stage of weightlessness was from 244 to 345 ℃, attributed to the loss of FDCA2-, with a weight loss of about 28.0% (Calcd. 28.9%). Above 345 ℃, the decomposition attributed to the remaining ligand HL+ led to the complete collapse of the skeleton. At 800 ℃, the residual weight was 28% (Fig.7b).

    The first weightless stage of 3 was from room temperature to 152 ℃, which is the loss of one coordination water and two lattice water molecules, and a weight of 9.7% (Calcd. 9.9%). The second stage of weightlessness was from 235 to 290 ℃, attributed to the loss of FDCA2-, with a weight loss of about 24.7% (Calcd. 28.1%). Above 290.38 ℃, the decomposition attributed to the remaining ligand L led to the complete collapse of the skeleton. At 800 ℃, the residual weight was 49.1% (Fig.7c).

    The first weightless stage of 4 was from room temperature to 166 ℃, which is the loss of two coordination water molecules and six lattice water molecules, and the loss in weight was 13.3% (Calcd. 13.5%). The second stage of weightlessness was from 234 to 287 ℃, attributed to the loss of FDCA2-, with a weight loss of about 28.7% (Calcd. 28.8%). Above 287 ℃, the decomposition attributed to the remaining ligand HL+ led to the complete collapse of the skeleton. At 800 ℃, the residual weight was 31.7% (Fig.7d).

    Comparison of the FTIR spectra of the ligands (H2FDCA and L) with CPs 1-4 provides insight into the coordination interactions between the ligand and metal ions. Infrared spectroscopic measurements showed that the major characteristic peaks of the ligand and 1-4 were successfully identified in the wave number range of 500-4 000 cm-1 (Fig.8).

    Figure 8

    Figure 8.  FTIR spectra of CPs (a) 1, (b) 2, (c) 3, and (d) 4

    For the H2FDCA ligand, the absorption peak located near 1 670 cm-1 is thought to be due to stretching vibrations occurring at the carbonyl (C=O) group in the carboxylic acid moiety[43-45]. The absorption peak observed at 1 565 cm-1 can be attributed to the C=C bond stretching vibration in the furan ring. In CPs 1 and 3, the metal ions form a coordination bond with the ligand H2FDCA in C=O (1 670 cm-1), resulting in a displacement in the infrared absorption peak of C=O. This displacement is due to the fact that coordination changes the electron density distribution of the C=O double bond, thus affecting its vibrational frequency. Chemical change of deprotonation of H2FDCA to form carboxylate ions (FDCA2-) was found in the single crystal structures of CPs 2 and 4. This change may alter the vibrational properties of the C=O bond, resulting in a displacement of the infrared absorption peak of C=O. The generation of absorption peaks near 1 614 and 1 070 cm-1 for ligand L is attributed to the C=C and C—H bonding vibrations in the benzene ring, respectively. For ligand L, the absorption peak located near 1 494 cm-1 is usually attributed to the stretching vibration of the C—N bond in the imidazole ring[57]. It is important to note that in 2 and 4, although the carboxylate groups do not participate in coordination, they form multiple hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds have a significant impact on the vibrational characteristics of the C=O bonds. As a result, it is challenging to distinguish the C=O absorption peaks of coordinated and uncoordinated carboxylate groups in the infrared spectra. This is because the hydrogen bonding alters the vibrational frequency of the C=O bonds, thus masking the subtle differences that might be caused by coordination. This phenomenon demonstrates that hydrogen bonds play a crucial role in modulating the vibrational properties of carboxylate ions, which in turn affects the characteristic absorption peaks in the infrared spectra. However, in 1-4, the intensity of the absorption peak at 1 494 cm-1 was weakened compared to L, suggesting that the coordination of the metal ion to the ligand may have led to a change in this absorption peak. This change may be due to the coordination of the metal ions with the nitrogen atoms in the imidazole ring, which affects the electron density distribution of the C—N bond, thus altering its vibrational frequency and intensity. This spectral variation is an important basis for the study of metal-ligand interactions in CPs.

    Solid-state fluorescence spectra at room temperature were determined for 1-4 and the ligands (Fig.9). The solid-state fluorescence spectra of H2FDCA and L were measured at an excitation wavelength of 278 nm. It can be found that the ligand H2FDCA showed an obvious emission peak at 372 nm, which may be due to the transition between the π-electrons on the furan ring and the lone pair of electrons on the carboxyl group of the ligand. The ligand L showed a distinct emission peak at 351 nm, which may be due to the π-π* jump within the ligand. The solid-state fluorescence spectra of CPs 1-4 were measured at an excitation wavelength of 255 nm. In the synthesis of CPs, metal ions are coordinated to organic ligands. During this process, excited electrons may be transferred from the organic ligand to the metal center, and this charge transfer leads to a decrease in the energy of the luminescent emission peak, resulting in a redshift phenomenon. Compared to the ligand, 1-4 showed a lower fluorescence intensity, a phenomenon likely due to ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT). The photoluminescence spectra of 1-4 showed different absorption patterns compared to L and H2FDCA, reflecting the effect of interaction or complexation between CPs single crystals and ligands on optical properties[51, 57].

    To investigate the mechanism of the CPs′ single-crystal formation from ligands and transition metals, DFT calculations were carried out. The B3LYP/6-31G(D) method basis set in the Gaussian 09 program was employed for the calculations. As depicted in Fig.10a, the electron clouds of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) are predominantly concentrated in the central region of the ligand. This area typically manifests as a denser region of the electron cloud, which facilitates more efficient coordination with metal ions. To explore the electronic properties of the ligands in CPs under different conditions, an electrostatic potential analysis of the ligands was performed. The results indicate that the ligand possesses a notable low/high potential region at (-0.025 50, 0.022 57), which may influence its coordination behavior with the metal center (Fig.10b). Further investigations revealed that the negative charge distribution is primarily focused on the O and N atoms of the ligand. This distribution favors the coordination of the ligand with the metal ion[60-62].

    Four CPs were synthesized via solvothermal synthesis, and the effects of ligand concentration, solvent system, and metal ions on coordination modes were investigated. Results show that ligand concentration and solvent can cause changes in crystal structure. However, in the four studied CPs, metal ions maintained a consistent coordination mode with ligands, exhibiting an octahedral configuration. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that all CPs demonstrated good thermal stability. Studies on the solid-state fluorescence photoluminescence properties of 1-4 revealed that the interaction between CPs and ligands affects optical properties. Theoretical calculations and electrostatic potential analyses showed that the L ligand has superior coordination ability. Ligands with higher energy possess optimal spatial and geometric structures, enabling metal ions to form more stable coordination environments with ligands.
