Abstract

Two complexes, {[Cd6(o-dppd)22-Cl)63-Cl)2(DMF)2(H2O)2Cl2]·DMF·CH3OH} n (I) (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide; o-dppdH = 1,3-di(pyridin-2-yl)propane-1,3-dione) and [Cu4(o-dppd)2(OAc)4(OH)2]·4H2O (II), were synthesised and characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR, solid fluorescence and TGA. The results showed that complex I had a rodshaped polynuclear chain with hexacoordinating Cd atoms bridged by oxygen, µ2-Cl and µ3-Cl; complex II was a tetranuclear oligomer. In general, supramolecular architectures are constructed through hydrogen-bonding and π-π stacking interactions. I shows luminescence.
