Abstract:

With the help of nitrogen heterocycle auxiliary ligand 1,4-di(pyridin-4-yl)benzene)(1,4-DPB), a pair of homochiral metal-organic frameworks named [Cd1.5((R)-PIA)(1,4-DPB)1.5]·0.75H2xGuest(1-D) and [Cd1.5((S)-PIA)(1,4-DPB)1.5]·0.75 H2xGuest(1-L)[H3PIA=5-(2-carboxypyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)isophthalic acid] have been prepared from proline derivative ligands (R)-H3PIA and (S)-H3PIA and cadmium ions. Crystallographic analysis indicates that complexes 1-D and 1-L feature three-dimensional open pore structure, containing wavy metal-carboxylate layers and almost linear trinuclear cadmium cluster units. In complexes 1-D and 1-L, the wavy metal-carboxylate layers consists of two types of homochiral helical chains, which are constructed by PIA fragments and cadmium ions. Moreover, powder X-ray diffraction patterns(PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), circular dichroism(CD) spectra, and photoluminescent spectra of complexes 1-D and 1-L were also investigated. The results show all the peak positions of simulated and experimental PXRD patterns match well with each other, indicating that the complexes were obtained as a single phase. Furthermore, TGA curves of complexes 1-D and 1-L are very similar to each other and their CD spectrum have obviously positive or negative signal, which accord with their enantiomeric properties.
