Abstract

Three novel extended supramolecular structures based on pseudohalides (SCN) and the flexible cationic template 1, n-bis(4-aminopyridine)alkane cations(n = 2–4), namely {(bape)0.5[Cu(SCN)2]}n (bape = 1, 2-bis(4-aminopyridine)ethane) (1), {(bapp) [Cu2(SCN)4]}n (bapp = 1, 3-bis(4-aminopyridine)propane) (2),{(bapb)0.5[Cu(SCN)2]}n (bapb = 1, 4-bis(4-aminopyridine)butane) (3) have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray Powder Diffraction (PXRD), UV–Visdiffuse reflectance spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the solid state. Compounds 1 and 3 exhibit infinite two-dimensional polypseudorotaxane architecture. In compound 2, the cationic template bapp2+ induced [Cu2(SCN)4]2− cluster unit to generate a 3D coordination framework. The structural diversities show that the branched cationic template should very likely be excellent candidates to construct higher dimensional threading supramolecular architectures. In addition, the optical band gap, photocatalytic and the structure–property relationship of compounds 1–3 were also investigated.
