A new coordination polymer [Cd2（5-IPA）（HL）2（H20）2]＇4H20 （1） was prepared under hydrothermal conditions based on 5-hydroxy-isophthalic acid （5-H2IPA） with multi-N-donor ligand 1-（1H-imidazol-4-yl）-3-（4H-tetrazol-5-yl）benzene （H2L）. The complex was characterized by IR spectroscopy, TGA, X-ray powder and single-crystal diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/e with a = 23.6291（18）, b = 9.9847（8）, c = 17.7244（14） A, fl = 124.6180（10）°, V = 3441.4（5） A3, Z = 4, C28H30N12O11Cd2, Mr = 935.44, Dc = 1.805 g/cm^3,μ= 1.313 mm^-1, S = 1.055, F（000） = 1864, the final R = 0.049 and wR = 0.1315 for 2985 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））. The central metal Cd（II） atoms with octahedral coordination geometry are six-coordinated by three oxygen and three nitrogen atoms. The HL- ligands from the deprotonated HzL connect Cd（II） atoms to form two-dimensional （2D） double-layer fes networks which are further pillared by 5-IPA2- ligands into a rare binodal （3, 4）-connected three-dimensional （3D） architecture with a （4·6·8）（4·62·83） fse-3,4-C2/c topology. Solid state luminescent property and sorption property of 1 have been investigated.
A new complex, [Ni2（L）4（H2O）8]（1, L1 = 4-（1H-imidazol-4-yl）benzoic acid）, has been hydrothermally prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and PXRD. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with α = 22.281（2）, b = 7.3959（7）, c = 24.978（3） ？, β = 90.876（10）, V = 4115.6（7） ？3, Z = 8, C20H22N4O8Ni, Mr = 505.13, Dc = 1.630 g/cm3, μ = 1.001 mm-1, S = 1.080, F（000） = 2096, the final R = 0.452 and wR = 0.1152 for 9380 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））. The result of X-ray diffraction analysis revealed three different kinds of Ni（II） centre mononuclear molecules in the asymmetric unit. The independent mononuclear units are bridged to form a three-dimensional supramolecular polymer by extensive hydrogen bonds and C–H… non-covalent bonding interactions.
A novel complex, [Zn（L）]2·H2O（1, H2 L = 4-aminophthalic acid）, has been hydrothermally prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and PXRD. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 12.4267（6）, b = 7.7482（3）, c = 18.6983（8） A, β = 110.437（3）°, V = 1687.04（13） A3, Z = 4, C16H12N2O9Zn2, Mr = 507.06, Dc = 1.996 g/cm3, μ = 2.903 mm-1, S = 0.989, F（000） = 1016, the final R = 0.0304 and w R = 0.0720 for 12618 observed reflections（I 〉 2σ（I））. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis reveals that compound 1 features a three-dimensional（3D） framework with 4-connected umc topology. Moreover, the thermogravimetric（TG） analysis and photoluminescent property of 1 were also discussed.
