Abstract:

Three new gallium complexes formulated as [Ga(PDA)2][Ga(H2O)(PDA)(phen)]·4H2O(1), [Ga(PDA)2]· (H2IN)·2H2O(2) and [Ga(OH)(PDA)(H2O)]2(3)(H2PDA=pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid; phen=1,10-phenanthroline; HIN=isonicotinic acid) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. In the mixed-ligand system of complex 1, PDA2? and phen are connected to the central Ga3+ cation as tri- and bi-dentate ligands, respectively. In complex 2, each Ga3+ cation is six-coordinated by two PDA2? anions octahedrally. Complex 3 shows a binuclear structure, with the bond distance of Ga1-Ga2 being 0.30061(3) nm. The 3D supramolecular structures of the three complexes are constructed via hydrogen bonds and aromatic π-π packing interactions. All the three complexes exhibit intense blue emission at room temperature in the solid state, which are attributed to π* transition centered on the ligands.
