•Two coordination compounds with desymmetric carboxylate and neutral nitrogen ligands have been synthesized.•The dihedral angles for desymmetric carboxylate ligand can tinily adjust to meet the requirement of coordination.•The result of SHG measurements revealed that compound 2 has a SHG response.
Two coordination polymers based on a flexible desymmetric ligand precursor H2L have been synthesized, that is, [Ni(L)(dpe)3/2] H2O (1), [Ni2(H2O)(L)2(bpp)2] H2O (2), [H2L = 4,4′-(phenylazanediyl)dibenzoic acid, dpe = 1,2-di(pyridin-4-yl)ethane, bpp = 1,3-di(pyridin-4-yl)propane]. These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray single-crystal and power diffraction. In addition, the second nonlinear optical properties of 2 were measured.
