Supramolecular isomerism and structural flexibility in coordination networks sustained by cadmium rod building blocks.

ABSTRACT: Bifunctional N-donor carboxylate linkers generally afford dia and sql topology coordination networks of general formula ML2 that are based upon the MN2(CO2)2 molecular building block (MBB). Herein, we report on a new N-donor carboxylate linker, β-(3,4-pyridinedicarboximido)propionate (PyImPr), which afforded Cd(PyImPr)2via reaction of PyImPrH with Cd(acetate)2·2H2O. We observed that, depending upon whether Cd(PyImPr)2 was prepared by layering or solvothermal methods, 2D or 3D supramolecular isomers, respectively, of Cd(PyImPr)2 were isolated. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that both supramolecular isomers are comprised of the same carboxylate bridged ro
