Abstract
Two new Cu(II) coordination polymers [Cu(Fbtx)(H2btec)(H2O)2]n and {[Cu(Fbtx)(btec)0.5(H2O)2]·H2O}n have been synthesised by hydrothermal reactions of Cu(II) nitrate with 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazole-1-ylmethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene (Fbtx) and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (H4btec) under different pH conditions. The first complex has a two-dimensional four-connected layer structure with a 44-sql topology, whereas the second has a two-dimensional three-connected brick-wall network. The luminescence properties of the complexes in the solid state and their thermal stabilities have also been studied.
