A 6³-Nets Framework Constructed by Cadmium(II) Hexafluorosilicate and 3-(Pyridin-4-yl)benzenamine: Synthesis, Structure, and Luminescence Property

Abstract

A novel 6³-nets framework {[Cd(SiF₆)(C₁₁H₁₀N₂)₂]·(CH₂Cl₂)·(H₂O)}_n (1) was generated based on asymmetric ligand 3-(pyridin-4-yl)benzenamine (L). L acts as a bidentate ligand to link Cd(II) centers into a 6³-nets topology with rectangular channels encapsulating dichloromethane and water as guest molecules. In addition, their luminescent properties were investigated primarily in the solid state, which is basically related to its incorporation into the metal-containing complexes. The result displays that the choice of the amino-functionalized pyridine-containing ligand leading to special connection patterns and diversity of the hydrogen bonds plays a crucial role in the construction of the novel topological framework with interesting luminescent property.
