Abstract

Reaction of tris-(2-chloroethylamine) with either para-hydroxyethylbenzoate or meta-hydroxyethylbenzoate followed by hydrolysis affords the podands tris-(4-carboxy-2-phenoxy-ethyl)amine and tris-(3-carboxy-2-phenoxy-ethyl)amine, respectively. Aqueous solutions of Cd(NO3)2·6H2O readily react with the podands in a 1:2 molar ratio in the presence of pyridine at room temperature to form the porous coordination polymers {[Cd(ptaH)]·5H2O}n (1) and {[Cd2(mtaH)2(H2O)2]·14H2O}n (2). Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P↑ with a = 10.223(7), b = 11.465(8), and c = 12.331(8) Å, a = 93.43(1)°, β = 96.67(1)°, γ = 95.08(1)°, V = 1426.4(2) Å3, Z = 2, ρcalcd = 1.65 g cm-3, T = 100 K, µ = 0.839 mm-1, R1 = 0.0741 (I > 2σ(I)), wR2 = 0.1636, and GOF = 1.322. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 16.752(1), b = 18.568(1), and c = 21.610(2) Å, β = 107.36(10)°, V = 6415.8(8) Å3, Z = 4, ρcalcd = 1.58 g cm-3, T = 100 K, μ = 0.759 mm-1, R1 = 0.0339 (I > 2σI)), wR2 = 0.0861, and GOF = 1.040. Each of the coordination polymers looks like an infinite chain of metallocycles with different void spaces. These voids are occupied by supramolecularly assembled water molecules whose structures are commensurate with the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
