•A neutral 1D coordination polymers of Cd(II) and Zn(II) silanethiolates have been synthesized.•Metal ions are bridged by bipyridine derivatives bpea and bpey.•Crystal structures of polymers show the presence of cavities filled with molecules of solvent.•Polymers are stable up to 300 °C and display blue emissions.
Three new zinc(II) and cadmium(II) silanethiolate complexes [Zn{SSi(OtBu)3}2(μ-bpea)⋅CH3CN]n1, [Cd{SSi(OtBu)3}2(μ-bpea)⋅2CHCl3]n2 and [Cd{SSi(OtBu)3}2(μ-bpey)⋅C7H8]n3 with two bypiridine derivatives, [bpea = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane and bpey = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene] have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Their structures and properties have also been established with elemental analysis, IR, TGA and photoluminescent studies. Complexes 1–3 exhibit one-dimensional (1D) chain structures in which [M{SSi(OtBu)3}2] (M = Zn, Cd) units are held together by bpea or bpey bridges, respectively. Complexes are stable up to 300 °C and display blue emissions.
