Synthesis and characterisation of new coordination polymers by combining 2-pyridyl oximes or alcohols with functionalised terephthalic acid analogues†
Abstract
Isolation of mixed-ligand compounds has attracted considerable research interest as the synergy between ligands results in species with interesting technological, environmental and biomedical applications. In this study, initial employment of 2-pyridyl oximes or 2-pyridyl alcohols in combination with 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid (H3MHBDC) and 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (H4DHBDC) has yielded a new family of 1D coordination polymers and a metal cluster, namely [M(H2pyaox)2(H2DHBDC)]n (M = Zn, 1; Mn, 2), [Co3(mpko)4(Hmpko)2](H2DHBDC)2·2DMF (3·2DMF), [M(Hhmp)2(H2DHBDC)]n·DMF (M = Ni, 4·DMF; Zn, 5·DMF), [Ni(H2pyaox)2(HMHBDC)]n·2DMF (6·2DMF), and [Zn(Hmpko)2(HMHBDC)]n·DMF (7·DMF), where H2pyaox = pyridine-2-amidoxime and Hmpko = 2-methyl pyridyl ketoxime. 1–7 are the first compounds bearing a 2-pyridyl oxime or 2-pyridinemethanol (Hhmp) with H3MHBDC or H4DHBDC in their neutral or anionic form. Notably, 4 exhibits a high capacity for Co2+ uptake (900 mg Co2+ g−14), which can be attributed to the presence of free coordination sites in the carboxylate linker.
