Article Synopsis
- The study investigates various mercury(II) halide complexes, including those with chloride, bromide, and iodide, and characterizes their structures using single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
- The complexes exhibit diverse structural forms such as 1D and 2D supramolecular chains and layers, influenced by the type of ligands and halide anions present.
- Additionally, the complexes show promising stability in water and good sensing capabilities for iron ions, highlighting the significant role of specific interactions in their luminescent properties and reusability.
Reactions of divalent metal salts with 4,4-oxybis(N-(pyridine-4-yl)-benzamide), , and naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (1,4-HNDC) in various solvents gave [Zn()(1,4-NDC)·HO], , [Cd()(1,4-NDC)(HO)·MeOH], , and [Co()(1,4-NDC)(HO)·MeOH], , which have been structurally characterized. Complexes - show eight-fold interpenetrating frameworks with the topology, which exhibit porosities substantiated by CO adsorption, whereas and manifest stability in aqueous environments and show high selectivity toward sensing of mesitylene molecules and Fe ions with low detection limits and good reusability up to five cycles.
