Synthesis, crystal structure and fluorescent property of two-dimensional Cu(I) coordination polymers with cyanide, thiocyanate and triazole bridges

Hydrothermal reaction of CuCN, K3[Fe(CN)6] with 4-(6-amino-2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (apt) afforded a coordination polymer [Cu7(CN)7(apt)2]n (1), while solvothermal reaction of CuSCN with apt in acetonitrile afforded a coordination polymer [Cu2(SCN)2(apt)]n (2). Complex 1 shows two-dimensional polymeric network with large hexagonal channels constructing by CuCN chains and tridentate apt ligands. Complex 2 shows two-dimensional polymeric framework assembled by ladder-like [Cu(SCN)]n chains and bidentate apt ligands, in which thiocyanate acts as a tridentate bridging ligand. Both polymers are thermal stable and strong fluorescent in the solid state.
