Three New Supramolecular Coordination Polymers Based on 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-amine and 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate Derivatives

Three new supramolecular coordination polymers, namely [Zn(1,3-BDC)(HL)](n) (Polymer 1), [Zn(3)(1,3,5-BTC)(2)(HL)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n) (Polymer 2), and [Zn(9)(5-SO(3)-1,3-BDC)(2)(L)(8)(OH)(4)](n) (Polymer 3), were synthesized under solvothermal conditions, based on 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-amine (HL) along with 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate (1,3-BDC) and its derivatives, such as 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (1,3,5-BTC) and 5-sulfo-1,3-benzenedicarboxylate (5-SO(3)-1,3-BDC). Polymers 1–3 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Polymer 1 exhibited a two-dimensional (2D) 4-connected sql net. The neighboring 2D nets were further linked into a 3D supramolecular network by hydrogen-bonding interactions. Polymer 2 displayed a 3D (4, 4, 4)-connected network, which was further stabilized by [Formula: see text] (14) and S(9) hydrogen-bonding rings along with π–π interactions. The 2D sheet structure of Polymer 3 was constructed by novel quasi-linear nonanuclear Zn(II) units, which further extended into a 3D supramolecular structure by hydrogen-bonding interactions. The solid-state photoluminescence properties of Polymers 1–3 were also investigated.
