Three new coordination polymers based on bis(4-(4: H -1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)phenyl)methane: Syntheses, structures, multiresponsive luminescent sensitive detection for antibiotics and pesticides, and antitumor activities

Abstract

Three novel coordination polymers (CPs), namely, {[Ag2(L)2(Mo4O13)·(CH3CN)]}n (1), {[Zn(L)(1,4-bdc)2·2(1,4-H2bdc)]}n (2), {[Cd(L)(1,4-bdc)0.5]}n (3) have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions by the reaction of bis(4-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)phenyl)methane (L) and varied metal salts. Their structures are determined by single X-ray crystal diffraction, and further characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TGA and PXRD. CP 1 with ammonium molybdate as a secondary ligand displays a 2D network with (2,3,3,3,4)-connected net topology and the point symbol of {4·82}6{4·84·10}2{8}, CP 2 and CP 3 with 1,4-H2bdc as a secondary ligand demonstrate 3D structures with different topologies. CP 2 exhibits high sensibility and low detection limit in the recognition of antibiotics (NZF, NFT and FZD) and pesticide (DCN) identification. CP 1 demonstrates good anti-tumor activity toward the tested glioma cells. The possible luminescent sensitivity and anti-tumor mechanisms are also discussed.
