1 INTRODUCTION

The chemistry of alkaline earth metal complexes is an emerging area of interest, owing to the aesthe- tically pleasing structures that many such complexes possess and potential applications of these com- plexes in the fields of catalysis[1-3], material scien- ce[4-5], and biochemistry[6-7]. The assembly of alka- line earth metal coordination polymers is influenced by many intricate factors[8-17], and one of the most important ones is to select multifunctional organic ligands containing both oxygen and nitrogen atoms[18-30]. Therefore, the-heterocyclic carboxyla- tes are excellent candidates for constructing coor- dination polymers of alkaline earth metals because these metals are highly affinitive for both oxygen and nitrogen donors.

We are interested in the synthesis of coordination polymers of strontium by employing H2pda (H2pda = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid) as a ligand under solvothermal conditions. The use of H2pda and strontium salts under atmospheric pressure and at room temperature had previously given a mono- nuclear strontium compound[31]and a 1-D linear chain complex[32]. Until now, none of the Sr-com- plexes with 3-D network structures based on pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid have been reported. We envisioned that there might be a multidimen- sional species available under the solvothermal conditions.

With this consideration in mind, we conducted the reaction of H2pda and Sr(OH)2·8H2O under solvo- thermal conditions. A new 3-D strontium complex of the composition [Sr3(pda)2(Hpda)2(H2O)2]n·2nH2O has been synthesized. This is the first Sr-complex with 3-D network structure established by SrIIions and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid. Herein, we re- port the preparation and characterization of the com- plex. The luminescent property of the title complex has been investigated.

2 EXPERIMENTAL

2. 1 Materials and physical measurement

All chemicals were purchased from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. The C, H and N microanalyses were carried out with a Carlo-Erba EA1110 CHNO-S elemental analyzer. FT-IR spectra were recorded from KBr pellets and the range of 400～4000 cm-1on a Nicolet MagNa- IR500 spectrometer. Crystal determination was per- formed with a Bruker SMART APEX ΙΙ CCDC diffractometer equipped with a graphite-monochro- matized Moradiation (= 0.71073 Å). Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) was conducted on a NETZSCH STA 449F3 instrument in flowing N2at a heating rate of 5℃/min. Powder X-ray diffrac- tion (PXRD) pattern was recorded on a Rigaku D/Max-2500 diffractometer at 40 kV and 100 Ma with a Cu-target tube and a graphite monochromator. The solid-state luminescence emission/excitation spectra were recorded on a FLS920 fluorescence spectrophotometer equipped with a continuous Xe- 900 xenon lamp and aF900 microsecond flash lamp.

2. 2 Synthesis of [Sr3(pda)2(Hpda)2(H2O)2]n·2nH2O

A mixture of H2pda (0.0335 g, 0.2 mmol), Sr(OH)2·8H2O (0.0263 g, 0.1 mmol) and C2H5OH/ H2O = 1:2 (3 mL) was sealed in a Pyrex-tube (8 mL) which was heated at 120 ℃for 24 h. After cooling to room temperature, colorless rod crystals were obtained. Yield: 0.0211 g (70%, based on Sr). Anal. Calcd. (%) for C28H20N4O20Sr3: C, 33.79; H, 2.03; N, 5.63.

2. 3 X-ray crystal structure determination

A colourless single crystal of the title complex was carried out with Moradiation using a BRUKER SMART APEX-II CCD diffractometer at 298(2) K using an-2scan mode. In the range of 2.26≤≤28.29o, a total of 11818 reflections were obtained with 4285 unique ones (int= 0.0293) and used in the succeeding refinements. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full- matrix least-squares on2using SHELXS-97[33]and SHELXL-97[34]. All non-hydrogen atoms were re- fined anisotropically. The hydrogen atoms were placed in the calculated positions.= 0.0269 and= 0.0538. Goodness-of-fit is 1.003.(Δ)max= 0.398 and (Δ)min=-0.310 e/Å3. The selected bond lengths and bond angles of the title complex are listed in Table 1.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

3. 1 Synthesis

The title complex was prepared under solvother- mal conditions. Treatment of a mixture of Sr(OH)2·8H2O and H2pda in C2H5OH/H2O results in the formation of it. It was readily isolated as colorless rod crystals with high yield.

We have explored the importance of solvothermal techniques in this chemistry by attempting the analogous reaction under ‘conventional’ conditions. The synthetic investigation of Sr(OH)2·8H2O/H2pda system in C2H5OH/H2O under ambient reflux conditions gives the known compound [Sr- (C7H3NO4)(H2O)4][32]. The title complex can only be obtained under solvothermal conditions, demon- strating the synthetic novelty of this work.

3. 2 Structure description of [Sr3(pda)2(Hpda)2(H2O)2]n·2nH2O

The crystal structure of the title complex is shown in Fig. 1. The crystal structure determination reveals that it crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system of21/space group. It displays a 3-D network structure. In the asymmetric unit, there are 1.5 characteristic SrIIions. As shown in Fig. 1a, the Sr(1) ion shows a coordination number of ninein a tricapped trigonal prism geometry. It is coordinated by four carboxylic oxygen atoms (O(1), O(3), O(4)A, O(1)C) of three pda2-ligands, three oxygen atoms (O(5), O(7)B, O(8)B) of two Hpda-anions, one nitrogen atom (N1) of a pda2-ligand and one terminal water molecule (O(9)). The distances of Sr(1)-O range from 2.5364(17) to 2.8310(17) Å, in agreement with the reported Sr-O distance[35-39]. The Sr(2) ion shows a coordination number of eight with a slightly distorted dodecahedral geometry. As shown in Fig. 1b, the Sr2 ion is chelated by two Hpda-ligands and is coordinated by two carboxylate oxygen atoms (O(2)C, O(2)D) of two pda2-ligands. The distances of Sr(2)-O range from 2.5303(15) to 2.7998(16) Å, and the Sr(2)-N distance is 2.7472(19) Å. All of them are in accordance with the reported Sr-O and Sr-N distances[35-39]. Two Sr(1) ions are bridged by two2-O(1) atoms. The Sr(2) ion lays on a symmetry center, is connected to two neighboring Sr(1) ions through four2-carboxylic oxygen atoms (2-O(5),2-O(7)B,2-O(5)B,2-O(7)), and is linked to two neighboring Sr(1) ions by two carboxylate groups (O(2)C-C(6)C-O(1)C and O(2)D-C(6)D-O(1)D) to form a 1-D chain structure along the-axis (Fig. 1c). These chains are con- nected by carboxylate groups to form a 3-D network structure (Fig. 1d). An obviousstacking interac- tion between two adjacent pda2-rings of two chains is observed (Fig. 1e), with the center-to-center distance being 3.5499(2) Å. As shown in Fig. 1f, the intermolecular O-H×××O hydrogen contacts between the lattice water molecules (as hydrogen atom donors) and oxygen atoms from coordinated car- boxylate anions of the 3-D network (O(10)-H(10)A···O(8), O(10)-H(10)B···O(4) and O(10)-H(10)B···O(3)) are determined. The O(9) atom of the coordinated water molecule features two kinds of hydrogen bonding interactions; one is intramolecular hydrogen interaction between O(9) and lattice water molecular O(10) and the other is the intramolecular hydrogen interaction between O(9) and carboxylate oxygen atom O(8). More details of hydrogen bonds are summarized in Table 2.

The title complex joins a small family of stron- tium complexes with carboxylic acids as li- gands[18-32].To the best of our knowledge, the title complex is thefirst SrII3-D framework supported by H2pda.

3. 3 Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetry

In order to check the phase purity of the complex, the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) has been measured and compared with that simulated from the single-crystal structure. As can be seen from Fig. 2, the experimental PXRD patterns and simulated peaks match well, indicating the purities of the sample.

The thermal stability of the title complex was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis. As shown in Fig. 3, the first weight loss of the title complex takes place between 37.2 and 145.1 ℃, with a weight loss of 6.81% (calculated: 7.22%), which corresponds to the removal of all lattice and coordinated water molecules. Above 164.8 ℃, the structure begins to collapse and decompose to SrCO3, with the residual quality to be 46.77% (calcd. 44.2%)

3. 4 IR spectra

The IR spectral analysis shows broad band in the range of 3099～3598 cm-1, which can be attributed to the stretching vibrations of(O–H), revealing the presence of water molecules. Theas(OCO) antistre- tching vibrations ands(OCO) stretching vibrations of carboxylate groups of H2pda ligands are located at 1611 and 1467 cm-1, indicating the carboxylate coordination[39]. The strong bands at 1715 and 1569 cm-1can be assigned as(C=O) and(C=N), respec- tively. The absorption bands assigned to the Sr–O and Sr–N stretching frequencies were observed at 535 and 416 cm-1, respectively. These results indi- cate that the ligands coordinate to the SrIIion via oxygen of the carboxyl and nitrogen of pyridine[40-41].

3. 5 Luminescent property

The luminescent properties of [Sr3(pda)2- (Hpda)2(H2O)2]n·2nH2O and the H2pda ligand were investigated in the solid state at room temperature. As shown in Fig. 4,upon excitation at 343 nm, the ligand H2pda exhibits emission maxi- mum at 405 nm, which can probably be attributed to the*-transitions[42-44]. It can be seen that complex [Sr3(pda)2(Hpda)2(H2O)2]n·2nH2Oexhibits radiation emission maxima at 540 nm (ex= 500 nm). The emission bands exhibit red-shift in comparison with the ligand H2pda. Such fluorescent behavior suggests that the emission is mainly attributed to metal perturbed-* intraligand fluorescence[45].

4 CONCLUSION

In summary, a new 3-D strontium complex of the composition [Sr3(pda)2(Hpda)2(H2O)2]n·2nH2O has been prepared under solvothermol conditions. The thermal and luminescent properties have been inves- tigated, and it shows strong green fluorescence emission. The versatile coordination and connection modes of SrIIions prompt us to continue the research of Sr-containing coordination chemistry. We are pursuing the ways of producing interesting coor- dination polymers of other alkaline earth metals supported by the H2pda ligand. Such work is in progress and will be reported soon.
