Abstract: Starting from two bis(dipyridylamine) ligands containing 4,4'-dipyridylamine moieties, two novel coordination polymers, [CdL1Br2]n?n7.5H2O (L1 = N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis (4-pyridyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine) (1) and [Cu2L2(μ1,1,3-SCN)2]n?nMeOH (L2=N,N-di (2-pyridyl)-N',N'-di(4-pyridyl-1,4-phenylenediamine) (2), have been prepared under solvothermal conditions. They were characterized by elemental analyses, IR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction measurements. In complex 1, L1 utilizes all its pyridyl nitrogens to coordinate with four Cd(II) centers to afford a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular assembly containing Kagome structures. Complex 2 has a 2D sheet structure composed of [CuSCN]∞ columns and bridging L2 ligands with SCN- coordinated in a rare μ1,1,3-bridging mode. It is noteworthy that the 2,2'-dipyridylamine unit of L2 is unexpectedly left noncoordinated.

Key words: Dipyridylamine, Coordination polymer, Crystal structure, Cu(Ⅰ), Cd(Ⅱ)
