Abstract
To systematically investigate the influence of the positional isomeric effect on the structures of polymer complexes, we prepared two new polymers containing the two positional isomers ethyl 5-methyl-1-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-3-carboxylate (L1) and ethyl-5-methyl-1-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (L2), as well as Cd(II) ions. The structures of the metal–organic frameworks were determined by a single crystal XRD analysis. The compound [Cd(L1)2·4H2O] (1), is a hydrogen bond-induced coordination polymer, whereas the compound [Cd(L2)4·5H2O]n (2) is a three-dimensional (3-D) coordination polymer. Their structures and properties are tuned by the variable N-donor positions of the ligand isomers. This work indicates that the isomeric effect of the ligand isomers plays an important role in the construction of the Cd(II) complexes. In addition, the thermal and luminescent properties are reported in detail.
