1. Introduction During the last two decades metal–organic coordination polymers have aroused great interest for chemists due to their extremely versatile coordination motifs and potential applications in many areas such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), catalytic, magnetic and so on [1–4]. Especially the lead(II) frameworks also have attracted great interest based on below points: (1) large ion radius, flexible variable coordination number from 2 to 10 and diverse coordination geometries for PbII ions make there is great potential in the construction of functional materials; (2) The intrinsic feature of PbII, the presence of a 6S2 outer electron, make PbII frameworks have unique applications in coordination chemistry, photo-physics and photo-chemistry; (3) Inorganic–organic hybrid materials containing infinite Pb–O–Pb linkage also have aroused great interest [5]. Pseudo-halide NCS ligand is a favorable building block in the construction of novel metal–organic frameworks because it can adopt versatile coordination modes such as terminal N-, S-, or l1,3-, l1,1-bridging modes. Of all the coordination modes, l1,1(N)CS bridging way is scarcely reported and is also particular interest due to their important applications in magnetic systems, crystal engineering and so on [6]. On the other hand, 1,2,4-triazole and its derivates are also good building blocks for constructing novel functional materials because they combine the coordination modes of

pyrazole and imidazole [7]. In particular, some Zn(II), Cd(II) and Ag(I) complexes with these ligands have been isolated exhibiting that they are good candidates for photo-luminescent materials [8–9]. Recently a novel 3D porous Cd(II) MOF built with 4-pyridine-3-1,2,4-triazole has been isolated by us, its photo-luminescent properties can be tuned by the number of guest molecules [10]. However, to date, quite few luminescent lead(II) frameworks with 1,2,4-triazole and its derivatives are reported. There is still great potential in exploring this area. 3-Carboxylic acid-4H-1,2,4-triazole (HL) contains 1,2,4-triazole and one carboxylic acid functional group, to date, only one example about HL has been reported [11]. In this work HL was synthesized, under hydrothermal conditions a novel two-dimensional (2D) lead(II) framework {[Pb(L)(l1,1-NCS)(H2O)]}n (1) can be isolated. For 1 novel Pb-l1,1-(N)CS-Pb bridges can be observed, which are further extended by tetra-dentate coordinated L ligands to form a 2D corrugated layered structure. Solid-state luminescent spectrum of 1 shows that the excited peak at 375 nm while the low-energy emission peak at 607 nm. 2. Experimental section 2.1. General remarks Deionized water was used as solvent in this work. The ligand HL was prepared by the method described in the literature [12]. Other reagents were purchased commercially and used without further purification. C, H and N microanalyses were carried out with a Perkin-Elmer 240 elemental analyzer. FT-IR spectrum was recorded

terminal coordinated water molecule (O3). As shown in Fig. 1, Pb1 is in the hemi-directed geometry and seven-coordinated by one water molecule (O3), two bridged l1,1-(N)CS nitrogen atoms (N4 and N4A), two carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) and two triazole atoms (N1 and N2) forming a quite distorted pentagonal bipyramid geometry. The Pb(II) coordination geometry has close relationship with the 6s electrons. The stereochemical active 6s electrons of Pb usually produce hemi-directed coordination geometry, however, the difference between hemi-directed and holo-directed geometry around Pb(II) is ambiguous sometimes [15]. With the extending of bonding limit, the potential ligands, which are a little far from Pb(II) center due to the repulsion of the 6s electrons, will be found and the hemi-directed coordination sphere will be completed to holo-directed. For 1 the hemi-directed geometries of Pb1 also can be
extended by weak Pb???S interactions (Pb(1)–S(1), 3.292(2) Å) into holo-directed geometries. The carboxylic acid group of HL is de-protonated, N2, N3, O1 and O2 of L are involved in the coordination of two central lead(II) ions (Pb1 and Pb1A) forming tetra-dentate coordination modes. The result is also different form previously reported bi-dentate chelate coordination modes [11]. All the bond distances and angles are listed in the Table 2, all the Pb–O and Pb–N bond distances are below 2.8 Å, such bond distances are reasonable and can find a nearly ideal value assumed for oxidation state II on the PbII ions. The five-membered triazole ring is almost coplanar with mean deviation of 0.0014(3) Å. As shown in Fig. 1, two l1,1-NCS ligands act as bridging ligands to join neighboring lead(II) centers (Pb1 and Pb1A) forming novel Pb-(l1,1-NCS)-Pb bridges, which further extend 1 into a 2D corrugated layered structure. For Pb-(l1,1-NCS)-Pb bridges the separation of Pb1 and Pb1A is 4.307(5) Å and the corresponding angle of Pb–N–Pb is 105.1°. Further these dimeric lead(II) building blocks are arranged in two different directions and are extended by bridging L ligands forming a 2D corrugated layer structure parallel to crystallographic ac plane (Fig. 2). For 1 neighboring 2D layers stacking in ABAB. . . way. The interlayer PbPb separations in the two neighboring layers are 7.645(1) Å. Between these neighboring 2D layers coordinated water molecule (O3), carboxylate oxygen atom O2 generate strong O–HO hydrogen bonds, further consolidating the overall framework structure (O3–H3BO2, 2.849 Å) (Fig. 3). Though the lead(II) frameworks containing l1,3-NCS bridging ligands have been reported, the framework structures containing l1,1-NCS bridging ligands are still scarcely reported. FT-IR spectrum of compound 1 exhibits the typical characteristic band centered at 1986 cm 1 expected for 1,1-l-bridging thiocyanate ligands [16]. A strong and broad absorption band centered at 3413 cm 1, which can be ascribed to the presence of coordinated water molecules in the structure. The absence of the bands at ca. 1700 cm 1 indicates that the carboxylic acid group is de-protonated. The triazole out of plane ring absorption can be observed at 644 cm 1 [17]. The solid-state luminescent spectrum of 1 also has been recorded at room temperature indicating a low-energy luminescence emission peak at 607 nm upon excitation at 375 nm (Fig. 4). The low-energy emissions associated with large Stokes shifts can be observed for s2-metal complexes, which can be assigned to a metal-centered transition involving the s and p

As shown in Fig. 1, Pb1 is in the hemi-directed geometry and seven-coordinated by one water molecule (O3), two bridged l1,1-(N)CS nitrogen atoms (N4 and N4A), two carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) and two triazole atoms (N1 and N2) forming a quite distorted pentagonal bipyramid geometry. The Pb(II) coordination geometry has close relationship with the 6s electrons. The stereochemical active 6s electrons of Pb usually produce hemi-directed coordination geometry, however, the difference between hemi-directed and holo-directed geometry around Pb(II) is ambiguous sometimes [15]. With the extending of bonding limit, the potential ligands, which are a little far from Pb(II) center due to the repulsion of the 6s electrons, will be found and the hemi-directed coordination sphere will be completed to holo-directed. For 1 the hemi-directed geometries of Pb1 also can be
extended by weak Pb???S interactions (Pb(1)–S(1), 3.292(2) Å) into holo-directed geometries. The carboxylic acid group of HL is de-protonated, N2, N3, O1 and O2 of L are involved in the coordination of two central lead(II) ions (Pb1 and Pb1A) forming tetra-dentate coordination modes. The result is also different form previously reported bi-dentate chelate coordination modes [11]. All the bond distances and angles are listed in the Table 2, all the Pb–O and Pb–N bond distances are below 2.8 Å, such bond distances are reasonable and can find a nearly ideal value assumed for oxidation state II on the PbII ions. The five-membered triazole ring is almost coplanar with mean deviation of 0.0014(3) Å. As shown in Fig. 1, two l1,1-NCS ligands act as bridging ligands to join neighboring lead(II) centers (Pb1 and Pb1A) forming novel Pb-(l1,1-NCS)-Pb bridges, which further extend 1 into a 2D corrugated layered structure. For Pb-(l1,1-NCS)-Pb bridges the separation of Pb1 and Pb1A is 4.307(5) Å and the corresponding angle of Pb–N–Pb is 105.1°. Further these dimeric lead(II) building blocks are arranged in two different directions and are extended by bridging L ligands forming a 2D corrugated layer structure parallel to crystallographic ac plane (Fig. 2). For 1 neighboring 2D layers stacking in ABAB. . . way. The interlayer PbPb separations in the two neighboring layers are 7.645(1) Å. Between these neighboring 2D layers coordinated water molecule (O3), carboxylate oxygen atom O2 generate strong O–HO hydrogen bonds, further consolidating the overall framework structure (O3–H3BO2, 2.849 Å) (Fig. 3). Though the lead(II) frameworks containing l1,3-NCS bridging ligands have been reported, the framework structures containing l1,1-NCS bridging ligands are still scarcely reported. FT-IR spectrum of compound 1 exhibits the typical characteristic band centered at 1986 cm 1 expected for 1,1-l-bridging thiocyanate ligands [16]. A strong and broad absorption band centered at 3413 cm 1, which can be ascribed to the presence of coordinated water molecules in the structure. The absence of the bands at ca. 1700 cm 1 indicates that the carboxylic acid group is de-protonated. The triazole out of plane ring absorption can be observed at 644 cm 1 [17]. The solid-state luminescent spectrum of 1 also has been recorded at room temperature indicating a low-energy luminescence emission peak at 607 nm upon excitation at 375 nm (Fig. 4). The low-energy emissions associated with large Stokes shifts can be observed for s2-metal complexes, which can be assigned to a metal-centered transition involving the s and p

[11] [12] [13]
In summary, under hydrothermal conditions, using a triazole derivative ligand 3-carboxylic acid-4H-1,2,4-triazole (HL), lead(II) oxide and NH4NCS, a novel two-dimensional (2D) lead(II) framework {[Pb(L)(l1,1-NCS)(H2O)]}n (1) can be isolated. For 1 NCS anions adopt novel l1,1-(N) bridges, which are further extended by tetra-dentate coordinated L ligands to form a 2D corrugated layered structure. NCS also represents a novel l1,1-(N)CS bridging
