Abstract
[Cd2(C7H3NO5)2 · 4(H2O)] n · 3nH2O · 0.5n(CH3OH) (1) and [Cd3(C7H2NO5)2 · 10(H2O)] · 2H2O ·0.5CH3OH (2) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal structure of 1 reveals that both Cds are seven-coordinate with pentagonal bipyramid geometries. Coordination polyhedra are interlinked into a 1-D chain, further linked by hydrogen bonds into a 3-D network. Complex 2 is a discrete structure, then independent [Cd3(C7H2NO5)2 · 10(H2O)] are linked by hydrogen bonds into a 3-D network. The optical properties of 1 and 2 were investigated with fluorescent spectra; both exhibit strong green luminescence probably originating from π–π* transition of the ligand.
