Synthesis,Characterization, Luminescent and Thermal Properties of a Hybrid Inorganic–Organic Polymeric Framework Formed by Lead (II) Pyridinecarboxylate

Abstract  

A coordination polymer of formula Pb_0.5(pyc)] _n , 1, where Hpyc = pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. Every Pb(II) centre demonstrate trigonal dodecahedron geometry. The ligand i.e. pyridine-3-carboxylate offers μ _{3 -} η ² : η ¹ coordination pattern using its hetero donor centres. The complex initially forms an infinite 1D chain (c-axis) which is turned to 2D sheet and finally a 3D network is recognized through ligand connectivity. Stabilization of 3D structure is further reinforced by π–π stacking interaction. An open channel is identified along c-axis. TG analysis has been performed for the complex. Emission study demonstrates the existence of intraligand and metal-to-ligand charge transfer transition in 1.
