Abstract

A new metal-organic framework (MOF) formulated as [Ni(H2btc)(OH)(H2O)2] (1) (H3btc =

SC

1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) was synthesized using the hydrothermal technique. The complex 1 was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and powder X-ray

M AN U

diffraction in addition to single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray crystal structural analysis displayed that the compound belonged to the monoclinic space group P21/n with cell parameters a= 6.8658(14) Å, b= 18.849(4) Å, c= 8.5608(17) Å. In the title complex, ligand is linked to metal centers through two µ-oxo bridges and forming a 2D layer which is led to form an interesting geometry. The thermal stability and fluorescence property of 1 have also been investigated.

EP

In recent years, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) or coordination polymers (CPs) have attracted attention due to their potential applications for gas storage [1−4], catalysis [5−7],

AC C

molecular magnetism [8−11], and sensors [12]. The combinations of metal ions and organic ligands are designed in the form of one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D) and threedimensional (3D) frameworks. The coordination geometry of the metal ions and the organic ligand geometry affect the structure and topology of the MOFs. In this context, carboxylate ligands, as organic linkers, are attractive for variety in binding modes of the carboxylate groups to metal atoms [13−16]. In particular, amid organic ligands, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid is a rigid ligand which can construct diversity coordination polymers[17−22].

Furthermore, MOFs have received considerable attention because of their ability to construct new topologies with different properties. Obviously, rational designs of the assembled process and control of reaction conditions are extremely important to obtain intriguing topologies and architectures. Apart from the nature of metal and ligand, their ratio, as well as other factors such

RI PT

as solvent, pH, and temperature can affect strongly the outcomes of reactions. Therefore, by changing reaction conditions, new MOfs with novel properties can be obtained. Up to now, various nickel coordination polymers, based on 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, have been reported [23−25], in most of which, the metal centers have similar geometry. However, in this

SC

work attempt has been made to optimize the reaction conditions most notably pH and temperature, to attain new coordination polymer with different geometry and unique property.

M AN U

This has been accomplished after several experiments.

In the present work, we report hydrothermal syntheses, crystal structure and characterization of a new Ni coordination polymer with bridged 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid ligand. Furthermore, the thermal treatment and fluorescence property of [Ni(H2btc)(OH)(H2O)2] (1) are investigated. 2. Experimental

Crystal Structure

M AN U

The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n and consists of a coordination polymer with bridged carboxyl and carboxylate groups. The base structural features of the complex are illustrated in Fig. 1a. The metal centers are connected to two neighboring ones, through two µ-oxo bridges, to form infinite metal-metal chain running in a zigzag fashion, as shown in Fig. 1b.

TE D



Each metal ion center is five coordinate and Ni‒O bond lengths and bond angles (Ni1‒O1 1.934(3), Ni1‒O3 1.918(3), Ni1‒O7 1.972(4), Ni1‒O9 1.981(4), Ni1‒O8 2.243(4), O1‒Ni1‒O3

EP

174.45(15)°, O7‒Ni1‒O9 169.59 (16), O1‒Ni1‒O7 89.05(17)°, O1‒Ni1‒O9 91.14(16)°) show that the coordination geometry of complex 1 is a distorted square pyramidal. Selected bond

AC C

lengths and bond angles are listed in Table 2. The equatorial plane is defined by four oxygen atoms of one coordinated water molecule together with one hydroxyl ion and two O atoms from carboxylate and carboxyl groups of two different H3btc ligands. The rest of the one coordination site is occupied by one oxygen atom of one coordinated water molecule. Crystallographically there is only one type of btc ligand in the crystal structure, which bridges two Ni(II) ions on either side of the ring, forming a 2D sheet, Fig. 2. The H3btc ligand is not fully deprotonated and only one of the carboxyl groups is deprotonated which is connected in a 4

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT

monodentate manner to Ni1. On the other hand, there are two different sets of the carboxyl groups. In one set, one carboxyl group connects to monodentate coordination mode to Ni1. In

RI PT

other set, one carboxyl group is uncoordinated.



The Ni‒O bond distances and bond angles are in the range of 1.918(3)-2.243(4) Å and

SC

86.23(12)-174.45(15)°, respectively. All bond distances and bond angles agree well with those reported in other nickel(II) complexes having the same coordinating atoms [28−31]. In this

M AN U

compound, a number of hydrogen bonds exist, which are listed in Table 3. The carboxyl and carboxylate groups, hydrogen’s of benzene rings are participated to form hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds are involved in the stabilization and formation of an interesting supramolecular structure, depicted in Fig. 3.



FT-IR spectrum

TE D



The FT-IR spectrum of compound 1 is shown in Fig. 4. The broad band observed at 3498–3279

EP

cm–1 is caused by the stretching vibrations of the coordinated water molecules. Their high intensity and wide broadness is representative of an intensive hydrogen bonding. The three adjacent hydrogen atoms around the benzene ring of H3Btc give rise to two C-H stretching

AC C

modes, two C-H in-plane bending and one C-H out-of-plane bending modes. The bands observed at 3105 and 3070 cm–1 are assigned to C-H stretching vibrations [32]. The C-H in-plane bending vibrations are appeared at 1187 and 1181 cm–1 , moreover, the band at 890 cm–1 attributed to CH out-of-plane bending mode [33,34]. The strong band at 1617 cm–1 illustrates the deprotonated of carboxyl group. The vibration band at 1710 cm–1 is assigned to the carbonyl functional group, which confirms that carboxyl groups are not fully deprotonated. The carboxylate group can be coordinated to a metal ion through one of the three modes of monodentate, bidentate and bridging ligand. The mode of (COO)-bonding to metal ion is correlated with its vibration

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT

frequency. The various ∆ν values (∆ν = νa(OCO) – νs(OCO)) demonstrate different coordination modes of the carboxylate group to metal ions [35]. Therefore, the difference between (∆ν =185) asymmetric stretching vibrational mode, νa(OCO) appears at 1570 cm–1 while symmetric stretching νs(OCO), which emerges at 1385 cm–1, can be assigned to unidentate coordination of

RI PT

the carboxylate group, which is in agreement with the single-crystal X-ray analysis. The absorption bands observed at 1246 and 1244 cm–1 are imputed to ν(C‒O) vibrations. The δ(COO) mode emerges in the spectrum of the complex at 749 cm–1. The band appearing at 692 cm–1

Simultaneous thermal analysis

SC

belongs to ring out of-plane deformation vibration.

The thermal behavior of complex 1 was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and result is shown in Fig. 5. The complex displayed four steps of weight loss. The first and second degradation stage in the temperature region of 20-260 °C is attributed to the elimination of coordinated water molecules and hydroxyl groups, which corresponds to weight losses of about 11.7% (calcd. 11.2%) and 4.6% (calcd. 5.3%), respectively. Upon raising the temperature to

TE D

620℃, the two final steps of weight loss occur, which are assigned to the decomposition of H3btc ligands, leading to the collapse of the entire structure. The weight remains constant up to 800°C and residue is associated with stable oxide phase. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis was also carried out in order to obtain further

EP

evidence for the various stages and appraise their thermal behavior. Several endo- and exothermic effects are emerged in the DSC curve (Fig. 5) which they are in agreement with TGA

AC C

results. Two endothermic peaks are observed in the temperature range of 40- 280 °C which are attributed to the evolution of coordinated water molecules and hydroxyl ion. Two exothermic peaks at the temperature reign 300- 640 °C are probably due to crystallization of nickel oxide.

X-ray powder diffraction The simulated XRD pattern and experimental XRD pattern of complex 1 are shown in Fig. 6. The location of the diffraction peaks in the simulated and experimental patterns shows good

agreement with each other and confirms the high purity of compound.

SC

Luminescent Property

The fluorescence spectra of the ligand and complex 1 were recorded in acetonitrile at room temperature (Fig. 7). The free H3btc ligand displays a maximum emission peak at 425 nm and

M AN U

two broad emission peaks at 487 and 511 nm when is excited at 208 nm which can be attributed to the π* → π transitions of the ligand [36]. On the other hand, when the complex is illuminated at 200 nm, it presents a main emission band at 428 nm and two shoulders emission peaks at 488 and 512 nm. The emission spectra are similar; however, they are different in terms of emission intensity. Therefore, the enhancement emission peak of the complex through complexation is assigned to increase rigidity in the structure of complex [37] and prevent the photoinduced

TE D

electron transfer (PET) process [38, 39]. The prepared complex can probably be used as a fluorescence material in fabrication of optoelectronic devices.

Conclusions

EP



AC C

In conclusion, a new nickel coordination polymer based on 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid ligand was successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. X-Ray diffraction analysis of compound 1 shows that each metal center has distorted square pyramidal geometry and µ-oxo bridges from H3btc ligand linking the centers to each other. The photoluminescence property of complex 1 was investigated, and an enhancement of fluorescence intensity was observed.
