Synthesis, structures, and properties of three Zn(II), Mn(II), and Cd(II) compounds based on tetrazole-1-acetic ligand

• Three new Zn/Mn/Cd compounds based on Htza ligand has been synthesized.
• Different linear chains result in different final structures.
• The fluorescence or magnetic properties have been investigated.

Three new compounds, {[Zn(tza)2(H2O)]·H2O}n (1), {[Mn(tza)2(Htza)2]·2H2O}n (2) and [Cd(tza)2]n (3), were obtained by reactions of 1H-Tetrazole-1-acetic (Htza) with corresponding metal salts, and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction, respectively. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that compound 1 is three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure with line chains. Compound 2 is three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure with Mn-carboxylate chains. Compound 3 is a 3D framework with (3,6)-connected ‘ant’ topological network. Furthermore, the photoluminescence of 1 and 3 and the magnetic properties of 2 have also been investigated.
