New heterometallic frameworks with flexible sulfonate-carboxylate ligand: syntheses, structures, and properties

Abstract

Solvothermal reactions of zinc acetate, sodium hydroxide, and sulfosuccinic acid (H3SSC) in alcohol/H2O, afforded two new three-dimensional (3D) heterometallic sulfonate-carboxylate frameworks, namely, [Na2Zn33-OH)2(SSC)2(H2O)4]n (1) and [Na4Zn(SSC)2(H2O)3.5]n (2). Compound 1 contains 2D anionic [Zn33-OH)2(SSC)2]2 layers based on the centrosymmetric mononuclear [Zn(SSC)2]4 units, while compound 2 has 2D anionic [NaZn(SSC)2]3 layers based on the [Zn2(SSC)2] macrocycle units. In both compounds, the 2D anionic layers are linked by sodium ions in various manners to generate quite different 3D architectures. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit violet photoluminescences in the solid state. In addition, IR spectra, powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis of compounds 1 and 2 are also investigated.
