Synthesis and Characterization of a Cd (II) Coordination Compound with Efficient and Selective Detection of Cu²⁺, Cr₂O₇²⁻ and MnO₄²⁻
摘要
A coordination compound was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions in this study, namely [Cd(nhba)(H2biim)2(H2O)] (1), (H₂nhba = 3-nitro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, H2biim = 2,2’-biimidazole). Cd(II) forms an octahedral geometry via six-coordination, with the coordinating atoms being four N atoms from the imidazole rings of two 2,2’-biimidazole molecules, and two O atoms derived respectively from a nhba2− and a water molecule. Adjacent molecules form a one-dimensional chains by π-π interactions and hydrogen bond interactions. Furthermore, one-dimensional chains are extended into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure through hydrogen bond interactions. The compound (1) was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis and Hirshfeld surface analysis. The compound (1) shows effective detection of Cu²⁺, MnO₄²⁻, and Cr₂O₇²⁻ in aqueous solution, characterized by good resistance to interference, high sensitivity, efficient fluorescence quenching, and low detection limits (LOD), indicating its potential applicability as a sensing material.
