Supramolecular two-dimensional arrays with phenyl/perfluorophenyl interactions constructed from one-dimensional coordination polymers
Supramolecular assembly of Cd(NO3)(2), aniline derivatives and fluorinated ligand 1.4-bis(4-pyridylimethyl)-2.3.5,6-tetrafluorobenzene (bpf) afforded one-dimensional coordination polymers [Cd(bpf)(aniline)(2)(NO3)(2)](n) (1), [Cd(bpf)(P-toludine)(2)-(NO3)(2)](n) (2), and {[Cd(bpf)(p-bromoaniline)(2)(NO3)(2)]center dot(p-bromoaniline)2}(n) (3). The 1D polymers of 1 and 2 were connected through phenyl/perfluorophenyl interaction to give supramolecular two-dimensional at-rays while no such interaction in 3 due to the bulky Br group.
