Synthesis and crystal structure of a new 1D Pb(II) coordination polymer constructed from phenylsuccinic acid

Abstract

A new one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer, [Pb2(psa)(phen)2(NO3)2]n, has been synthesized by the method of hydrothermal reaction and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction (where H2psa is phenylsuccinic acid and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline). The single-crystal X-ray analysis showed that the complex has a dinuclear core stabilized by bridging phenylsuccinic acids and nitrate anions. The coordination number of the two Pb(II) atoms are 7 and 6, with the stereochemically active lone pair, resulting in the hemidirected geometry for the complex. The complex contain a 1D chain, which is further extended into two-dimensional supramolecular architecture through hydrogen bonds, C-H···π, and π···π interactions.
