Synthesis, crystal structures and properties of novel heterobimetallic Cd–Pt and Zn–Pt coordination polymers using nicotinic acid

Two novel heterobimetallic coordination polymers, [Cd{Pt(nic)4}]n・5nH2O (Cd–Pt-1) and [Zn{Pt(nic)4}(H2O)4]n・nH2O (Zn–Pt-1) (nicH = nicotinic acid), were synthesized by a one-pot slow-evaporation reaction system in water. Single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that Cd–Pt-1 and Zn–Pt-1 are two-dimensional sheet frameworks with open pores and one-dimensional chain polymers, respectively. However, crystal structure of Cd–Pt-1 is not robust in air. Therefore, BET surface area (pore volume) of Cd–Pt-1 calculated by N2 gas adsorption measurement is very low and the value is 22.5 m2 g− 1 (0.00813 cm3 g− 1).

Single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that Cd–Pt-1 and Zn–Pt-1 are two-dimensional sheet frameworks and one-dimensional chain polymers, respectively. Although crystal structure of Cd–Pt-1 has open pores for N2 or H2 gas adsorption, they are closed due to the loss of crystal structure by removal of guest molecules.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slideHighlights
