Two new tetranuclear cationic metalla-bowls 4 and 5 were self-assembled from a bis-pyridine amide ligand (H(2)L) (1) and arene-ruthenium acceptors, [(Ru(2)(μ-η(4)-C(2)O(4))(η(6)-p-cymene)(2)](O(3)SCF(3))(2) (2) and [Ru(2)(dhnd)(η(6)-p-cymene)(2)](O(3)SCF(3))(2) (dhnd = 6,11-dihydroxy-5,12-naphthacenedionato) (3), respectively. The metalla-bowls were characterized by multinuclear NMR, ESI-MS, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction study of 4. The crystal structure of 4 reveals unambiguous proof for the molecular shape of the metalla-bowl and the encapsulation of one triflate anion in the cavity through hydrogen bonding. The metalla-bowl 5 has been evaluated for anion binding studies by use of amide ligand as a hydrogen bond donor and arene-Ru acceptor as a signalling unit. UV-Vis titration studies showed that 5 selectively binds with multi-carboxylate anions such as oxalate, tartrate and citrate in a 1 : 1 fashion with high binding constants of 4.0-5.5 × 10(4) M(-1). Furthermore, the addition of multi-carboxylate anions into a solution of 5 gave rise to a large enhancement of fluorescence intensity attributable to the blocking of a photo-induced electron transfer process from the arene-ruthenium moiety to the amidic donor in 5. However, the fluorescence intensity almost remains unchanged upon addition of other anions including F(-), Cl(-), PF(6)(-), MeCOO(-), NO(3)(-) and PhCOO(-), as identically seen in the UV-Vis titration experiments, pointing to the high selectivity of 5 for the sensing of multi-carboxylate anions.

2-Carboxylphenyl, 3-carboxylphenyl and 4-carboxylphenyl groups were introduced into the 2-position of imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate system, respectively, obtaining three multi-functional ligands 2-(2-carboxylphenyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (o-CPhH4IDC), 2-(3-carboxylphenyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (m-CPhH4IDC) and 2-(4-carboxylphenyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (p-CPhH4IDC). Then the three organic ligands are employed to react with Sr(II) and Cd(II) ions. Subsequently, five 3D or 2D polymers, [Sr(o-CPhH2IDC)]n (1), [Sr3(m-CPhHIDC)2(H2O)3]n (2), [Sr(p-CPhH2IDC)(H2O)]n (3), [Cd(o-CPhH2IDC)(H2O)2]n (4) and {[Cd3(m-CPhHIDC)2(H2O)8]·2H2O}n (5), have been hydro(solvo)thermally synthesized and structurally characterized.

Reactions of lanthanide(III) nitrates with multi-donor carboxylate ligand in the presence of oxalate anion afforded four new lanthanide coordination polymers with three dimensional (3D) frameworks, namely, {[Ln2(DPPA)2(μ2-C2O4)(H2O)2]·2H2O}n (Ln = Nd (1), Sm (2)) and [Ln2(HDPPA)2(DPPA)2]n (Ln = Tb (3), Yb (4)), (H3DPPA = 3-(4-hydroxyl pyridinium-1-yl) phthalic acid and H2C2O4 = oxalic acid). Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural and isomorphous, featuring oxalate pillared binodal (4,5)-connected porous 3D framework with intersected 1D channels, in which the coordinated and lattice waters are accommodated. The complexes 3 and 4 are also isostructural, but featuring a (4,6)-connected 3D network based on a rectangular window composed of {Ln(HDPPA)}(+) extended anion chains, further interlinked by DPPA.

Novel arene-ruthenium [2+2] metalla-rectangles 4 and 5 have been synthesized by self-assembly using dipyridyl amide ligand 3 and arene-ruthenium acceptors (arene: benzoquinone (1), naphthacenedione (2)) and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS. The solid-state structure of 5 was determined by X-ray diffraction and shows encapsulated diethyl ether molecule in the rectangular cavity of 5. The luminescent 5 was further used for anion sensing with the amidic linkage serving as a hydrogen-bond donor site for anions and the ruthenium moiety serving as a signaling unit.
