Abstract

Two new magnesium-based isophthalate coordination networks result from the variation of solvent and temperature: Mg 4(IPA) 3(HCOO) 2(DMF) 2 [1; IPA = isophthalate; space group Fdd2, a = 22.480(5) , b = 38.210(8) , c = 8.8690(2), V = 7618(3) 3] is a three-dimensional network of edge-shared magnesium octahedra connected by IPA linkers. A formate group forms a bridge between the magnesium metal centers and a coordinated DMF molecule occupies the space within the channels of compound 1. Mg(IPA)(EtOH) 2; space group Pbca, a = 14.1854(2) , b = 16.326(2) , c = 19.233(3) , V = 4404.73(2) 3 also forms a three-dimensional network, which is constructed by connecting dimers of Mg 2 into chains with IPA linkers. Two solvent ethanol molecules coordinate to one of magnesium metal centers. Compound 1 forms using DMF as a solvent while ethanol is used as a solvent to form compound 2. Topological analyses show that both structures can be described as trinodal nets with point symbols (4 8·6 2) 2(4 10·6 5)(4 17·6 11) 2 for 1 and (4 8·6 2)(4 9·6)(4 31·6 14) for 2. Photoluminescence measurements of 1 and 2 reveal a red shift of the spectra of both compounds compared to the free IPA ligand when an excitation wavelength of 385 nm is used.
