General Description

5-(4′-carboxylphenoxy)isophthalic acid, also known as 4'-carboxyphenyl-5-isophthalic acid, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C14H10O6. It is a derivative of isophthalic acid and contains a carboxyl group attached to a benzene ring, as well as a phenoxy group attached to the central carbon atom. 5-(4′-carboxylphenoxy)isophthalic acid is commonly used in the production of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks due to its ability to act as a ligand for metal ions. It has potential applications in catalysis, gas storage, and environmental remediation due to its unique structure and properties. Additionally, it is also used in the production of dyes and other organic compounds.

Four novel coordination polymers of transition metals built using a semi rigid oxygen donor ligand: Crystal structures, novel topology and emission studies

Four new coordination polymers namely, [Cd3(L1) 2(DMA)4]n (1), [Mn(HL1)(H 2O)3]n (2), [Mn(H2L 2)]n (3) and {[Co2(HL2)(L 2)]·(Et4N)·(1.5H2O)}n (4) have been synthesized with semi-rigid ether bridged tricarboxylic acid ligands H3L1 and H3L2 [H 3L1 = 5-(4-carboxy-phenoxy)-isophthalic acid and H 3L2 = 5-(2-carboxy-phenoxy)-isophthalic acid] with various transition metal ions using hydro(solvo)thermal techniques. All the coordination polymers have been structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray single crystallography. Single crystal X-ray studies show that these coordination polymers contain homometallic clusters varying from dimeric to trimeric units except 2 which is a linear monomeric. On reacting para-isomer of the ligand H3L1 with metal ions, 2D and 3D supramolecular structures have been obtained while with the ortho-isomer H 3L2 dimeric 2D and 3D framework were obtained. Topological analysis reveals that 1 and 3 are binodal (3,6)-connected kgd net, 2 is also a binodal (3,3)-connected honey-comb type hcb net, while 4 shows unprecedented (3,3,6)-connected pkb5 topological trinodal-network. Interestingly, 3 and 4 exhibits unusual coordination modes involving one of carbonyl O atom of an acid functional group. Moreover, in 4 ethereal O atom is also coordinated to one of the metal center. All complexes show high thermal stability, thus losing coordinated and lattice solvent molecules in the range, ～100-200 °C. Upon excitation at 325 nm, compounds 1-4 exhibit solid-state luminescences at room temperature.
