在水熱條件下利用H2btpa配體合成了2個鑭系金屬配合物{[Ln(btpa)(H2O)(OH)]·bpy}n(Ln=Tb(1)，Pr(2)，H2btpa=5-(3′,4′-二(四唑-5′-基)苯氧基)間苯二甲酸，bpy=4,4′-聯吡啶)，并用元素分析、紅外光譜、X射線粉末衍射、X射線單晶衍射對其進行了表征。配合物1和2中，雙核鑭系金屬單元通過btpa2-配體以μ4:η1,η2,η1,η2的配位模式連接，形成二維網狀結構，客體分子4,4′-聯吡啶通過分子間的氫鍵作用存在于結構中。相鄰的二維網通過氫鍵的識別作用以鎖鏈形式拓展為三維超分子結構。室溫下配合物1呈現出TbⅢ的特征熒光發射峰。

Luminescent lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)have attracted extensive attention,because of their fantastic topological structures and their technological importance,such as luminescence sensors,diagnostic tools,laser materials and optical amplification for telecommunications[1].However,lanthanide ions are very poor at absorbing light directly,because of the low extinction coefficients of the Laporte forbidden f-f transitions[2].Energy transfer from an adjacent strongly absorbing chromophore is usually used to stimulate luminescence from lanthanides.In this regard,the ligands with good light absorptivity and strong coordination capability to lanthanide ions should be selected as building units for lanthanide-organic hybrid.Polycarboxylic acids have been selected as building units,given that lanthanide ions have a high affinity for hard donor atoms.Carboxylate group not only acts as efficient sensitizers for lanthanide emission but also as the functional group can coordinate to metal ions in several different binding modes.Therefore,lanthanide polycarboxylic complexes have good luminescent properties and fascinating structures.Especially, polycarboxylate ligands are usually employed in the architectures for lanthanide coordination polymers[3]. However,the majority of these reports have focused on the complexes with rigid carboxylate ligands.The use of flexible ligands as building blocks in the construction of coordination frameworks is attractive because the flexibility and conformational freedoms of the ligands may offer various possibilities for construction of frameworks with unique structures and useful properties[4].But lanthanide complexes based on flexibility carboxylate ligands have been rarely used in this aspect[5].

Scheme 1 Coordination mode of H2btpain 1 and 2

As a member of flexible carboxylic acids ligands, 3′,4′-bis(terazol-5′-yl)phenoxy)isophthalic acid (H2btpa)contains multi-oxygen and nitrogen atoms and can coordinate with metal ions in different ways, resulting in the formations of various MOFs with specific topologies and useful properties.Furthermore, they can act not only as hydrogen bond donors but also acceptors,which make them a wonderful candidate for the construction of supramolecular networks depending upon the number of deprotonated carboxylate groups. Therefore,H2btpa may be an excellent candidate for the construction of multidimensional coordination polymers.However,to the best of our knowledge, btpa-metal complex have never been reported.We also notice that the introduction of N-containing auxiliary ligands such as 4,4′-bipyridine(bpy),1,2-bis (4-pyridyl)ethylene(bpee),1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpe)or 1,10-phenanthroline(phen)via adjustment of the carboxylate bridging mode into the system may lead to new structural evolution and fine-tuning the structural motif of the complexes[6].The design and elaborate assembly of multidimensional lanthanidebased MOFs with these kind of flexible ligands are still challenging tasks because of high and variable coordination numbers of lanthanide ions and versatile conformation of the ligands.With the aim of understanding the coordination chemistry of them and studying the influence on the framework structure of the complexes,we have recently engaged in the research of this kind of complex.Fortunately,we have obtained two new lanthanide complexes,{[Ln(btpa) (H2O)(OH)]·bpy}n(Ln=Tb(1),Pr(2)).Herein we described the syntheses,structures,the thermal stabilities and luminescent properties of these complexes.

2　Results and discussion

2.1Structure description of complexes 1 and 2

Complexes 1 and 2 are isomorphism and exhibit the same network structure,so only 1 is depicted in detail.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complex 1 is a 2D network structure crystallized in monoclinic system with C2/m space group.The asymmetric unit of 1 contains one independent TbIIIion,one btpa2-ligand,one coordinated water molecule, one coordinated hydroxyl group and one guest bpy molecule.As shown in Fig.1a,each Tb1 center is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms(Tb1-N1 0.256 9(3) nm,Tb1-N1D 0.256 9(3)nm)from one btpa2-ligand, four oxygen atoms(O1A,O2B,O3A and O4A)from three bridging btpa2-ligands,one oxygen atom from acoordinated water molecule and one hydroxyl group oxygen atom.The coordination geometry of Tb1 atom can be best described as distorted dodecahedron geometry(Fig.1b).The Tb1-O bond lengths are in the range of 0.228 9(3)～0.249 9(9)nm.The O-Tb1-O bond angles vary from 16.1(2)°to 164.9(2)°.All of them are similar to those found in the related terbium-oxygen donor compounds[8].

It is noteworthy that completely deprotonated btpa2-ligand adopts a μ4:η1,η2,η1,η2coordination mode. One carboxylate group coordinates with two TbIIIions bimonodentately;the other carboxylate group coordinates with one TbIIIion in bidentate-chelating way;two terazo nitrogen atoms chelate with one TbIIIion(Scheme 1).Each btpa2-ligand bridges four TbIIIions.The btpa2-anion is largely bent at the ether bond site(∠O-C-O 124.67(6)°for 1,124.33(6)°for 2).The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 79.93° for 1,and 79.94(6)°for 2.

Fig.2 View of the 2D network structure based on μ4-bridging btpa2-ligand along b-axis

Fig.3 View of the 3D supramolecular architecture based on hydrogen bonding interaction along a-axis

On the basis of the connection mode,each pair of TbIIIcenters are bridged by two carboxylate groups from two btpa2-ligands to form a cyclic binuclear unit with the Tb1…Tb1 distances of 0.533 3 nm.The neighboring Tb1 dimeric units are linked by four carboxylate groups of four btpa2-ligands generating a 1D ring chain with the intrachain Tb1…Tb1 distances of 1.104 9 nm.The adjacent 1D ring chains are parallel to each other,in which Tb1 dimeric unit further linked by(μ3:η1,η1,η2)btpa2-ligands to form infinite 2D network structure along the a axis(Fig.2). It is also noteworthy that the 2D framework forms a novel{Tb2N2O4C18}26-membered ring containing a type of rhombic pore with size of ca.1.148 5 nm× 0.915 6 nm based on the distances of Tb1…Tb1A and O5…O5.Interestingly,the adjacent 2D network recognize each other in a zipper fashion to generate a 3D supramolecular framework through hydrogen bonding interaction between the guest bpy molecules and coordinated water molecules(O6A-H6a…N5A 0.271 9 nm,167.47°;Symmetry codes:A:-x,y,-z). Moreover,significant hydrogen bond interaction(O6AH6b…N3A 0.305 3 nm,145.54°)contributes to the additional stability of the structure(Fig.3).

2.2IR spectra of 1 and 2

The IR spectra of 1 and 2 are fully identical.In the FTIR spectra,the absorption bands in the region 3 430～3 442 cm-1may attribute to the stretching vibrations of O-H and N-H.The bands in the region 2 920～3 074 cm-1can be ascribed to C-H stretching vibrations of the benzene ring[9].The absence of the absorption bands at 1 730～1 690 cm-1in 1 and 2 indicates the H2btpa ligand adopts the complete deprotonated btpa2-form,which is consistent with the X-ray structural analysis.The asymmetric stretching vibrations of the carboxylate groups are observed at 1 619 and 1 576 cm-1,and the symmetric stretching vibration(ms)of the carboxylate groups is observed at 1 454 and 1 389 cm-1,respectively[3a].The separation Δν(COO)between the νas(COO)and νs(COO)band in 1 is 165 and 187 cm-1,which is smaller than 200 cm-1, indicating that the carboxyl groups are coordinated in bridging mode[10].The bands in the region of 1 210 cm-1and 1 209 cm-1for 1 and 2 can be assigned to the C-O-C stretching vibrations.

2.3Lum inescent properties

The photoluminescence properties of complexes 1 and 2 were examined at room temperature,and the emission spectra are shown in Fig.4.The ligandcentered luminescence is completely disappeared in complex 1,whereas the typical narrow emission bands of TbIIIions can be detected upon excitation of the ligand-centered absorption bands(Fig.4a).For 1,the emission spectrum excited upon 350 nm shows the characteristic emission bands at 490,545,586 and 620 nm attributed to5D4→7FJ(J=6,5,4,and 3) transitions[11],indicating that btpa2-ligand is good sensitizer for TbIIIluminescence.The5D4→7F5transition is the strongest among the four bands, showing higher color purity and emission intensity. The luminescence of 2 and free ligand were also investigated,shown in Fig.4b.The ligand exhibits one emission band at 389 nm upon excitation at 315 nm. Complex 2 exhibits two intense emission peaks at ca. 420 and 438 nm at the same excitation condition,which means a red shift relative to that of the free ligand(λmax=389 nm).It may be tentatively assigned to ligand to metal charge transfer(LMCT)[12].By comparing the emission spectra of 2 and ligand,we can conclude that the enhancement of luminescence in 1 and 2 may be attributed to the ligation of ligand to the metal center,which effectively increases the rigidity and reduces the loss of energy by radiationless decay[13].

2.4Therm al properties and PXRD measurement of complexes 1 and 2

To study the thermal stabilities of these complexes,thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA)were performed.The TG curves of 1 and 2 are shown in Fig.5.The isostructural frameworks lead to the similar thermal decomposition processes,so we took 1 as a representative example for thermogravimetric analysis. Complex 1 first lost its coordinated water molecules and hydroxyl group below 165℃,the weight loss of 4.78%was consistent with that calculated(4.74%). The second weight loss is 21.1%in the temperature range of 165～350℃corresponding to the removal of guest bpy molecules(Calcd.21.7%).The weight loss of 52.9%in the range of 350～485℃was assigned to the decomposition btpa2-ligands(Calcd.52.4%).

Fig.5 TGA curves of complexes 1 and 2

In order to confirm the phase purity of the bulk materials,powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD)patterns were measured at room temperature.The PXRD experimental and computer-simulated patterns of all of them are shown in Fig.6.The peaks of the simulated and experimental PXRD patterns are in good agreement with each other,confirming the phase purities of 1 and 2.

3　Conclusions

In summary,two novel lanthanide complexes based on flexible H2btpa ligand have been successfully synthesized and characterized.The crystal structures of{[Ln(btpa)(H2O)(OH)]bpy}n(Ln=Tb(1),Pr(2))reveal a distorted dodecahedron geometry around the LnIIIions.Complexes 1 and 2 show the same 2D network structure,which is constructed from binuclear lanthanide units cross-linked by btpa2-ligands via μ4: η1,η2,η1,η2coordination mode with guest molecule bpy existing in the structure to form intermolecular hydrogen bond.The studies of luminescence properties show that complex 1 exhibited typical intense luminescence in the visible region.

Two novel lanthanide metal complexes based on H2btpa ligand,namely{[Ln(btpa)(H2O)(OH)]·bpy}n(Ln=Tb(1),Pr(2),H2btpa=3′,4′-bis(terazol-5′-yl)phenoxy)isophthalic acid,bpy=4,4′-pyridine),have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses,IR spectroscopy,powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.They possess the same 2D network,which is constructed from binuclear lanthanide units cross-linked by btpa2-ligands via μ4:η1,η2,η1,η2coordination mode with guest molecule bpy existing in the structure to form intermolecular hydrogen bond.Interestingly,the adjacent 2D networks are intercalated in a zipper fashion generating a 3D supramolecular structure through intermolecular hydrogen bonding.The luminescence experiments show that complex 1 exhibits typical TbⅢ-centered emissions in the visible region.CCDC:1417525,1;1417526,2.
