Highly Efficient Bifunctional Amide Functionalized Zn and Cd Metal Organic Frameworks for One-Pot Cascade Deacetalization-Knoevenagel Reactions.

ABSTRACT: A pyridine-based amide functionalized tetracarboxylic acid, 5,5'-(pyridine-2, 6-dicarbonyl)bis(azanediyl)}diisophthalic acid (H4L), was synthesized and its coordination chemistry toward zinc(II) and cadmium(II) ions was studied. The reactions of H4L with Zn(NO3)2.6H2O and Cd(NO3)2.4H2O led to its full or partial deprotonation, respectively, and the formation of the 2D coordination polymers [Zn2(L)(H2O)4]n.4n(H2O) (1) and [Cd3(HL)2(DMF)4]n.4n(DMF) (2) (DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide), respectively. They were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, photoluminescence, thermogravimetry, and single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. In 1, the L4- ligand is planar with every carboxylate anion binding a Zn(II) cation and giving rise to a 2D grid with the metals with tetrahedral environments.
