Abstract

:
A novel coordination polymer, {[Cd4(Dccbp)4]·H2O} (1) (Dccbp = 3,5-dicarboxy-1-(3-carboxybenzyl)pyridin-1-ium) was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions by a zwitterionic organic ligand and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectrum (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and luminescence. Complex 1 with a pyridine cation basic skeleton has the potential to serve as the first case of a luminescent material based on the zwitterionic type of organic ligand for selective, sensitive, and recyclable sensing of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol in the aqueous phase.

1. Introduction

Since the end of the 20th century, considerable attention has been paid to synthesis and characterization of novel coordination polymers (CPs) as well as metal-organic framework (MOFs) with fascinating structures and diverse functions [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. An important feature is that the choice of appropriate ligands plays a very crucial role in the construction of CPs with specific structures, which promoted chemists to design new ligands and study their coordination chemistry [9]. Recently, the zwitterionic type of organic ligands, which possess dispersed positive charges and negative charges synchronously on the organic basic framework, have drawn chemists attention to construct functional CPs with various potential applications such as in gas separation [10], chemical catalysis [11], chemical separations [12], magnetism [13], optical properties [14,15], biological application [16], and so on [17,18,19,20]. Compared with the conventional neutral ligands, the zwitterionic types of organic ligands have obvious advantages owing to their good solubility, improved adsorption selectivity of guest molecules, and strong coordination ability. However, to date, only limited CPs based on zwitterionic organic ligands have been demonstrated. Therefore, the CPs based on this class of ligands still need further exploration.
2,4,6-Trinitrophenol (TNP) is a high explosive substance known to all which has been extensively used in commercial production processes such as dye, leather, and medicines industries [21,22]. However, due to its strong explosive capacity, TNP could also be used for fireworks and terrorist attacks [23]. Apart from its explosive nature, the presence of TNP above the legal limits causes skin/eye irritation, headaches, anaemia and liver injury [24]. Therefore, the development of new materials for detection of TNP is critical in terms of anti-terrorist and environment considerations. Although various sophisticated methods [25] such as gas phase chromatography, elemental analysis, plasma laser sensor and ion mobility spectrometer have been developed for explosives detection, these advanced analysis and testing techniques are limited by their inconvenient to carry, time-consuming and tedious operation, high cost and not real-time monitoring drawbacks [26]. Compared with the traditional detection methods, the fluorescence detection based on coordination complexes has the advantages of high sensibility, easy synthesis, low cost and simple operation [27]. In the past few years, a large number of fluorescent probes for the detection of TNP explosive based on coordination polymers have been invented [28,29,30], most of which were operated in gaseous phase or in organic solvents, whereas water phase detection is rarely studied [31,32]. Aqueous phase recognition is rarely reported, mainly due to the poor stability of most CPs in the aqueous phase and fluorescence quenching in the aqueous phase. Taking account of the above reasons, it is still a major challenge to synthesize CP-based fluorescent probes for highly selective recognition of TNP in aqueous phase [33].
With these considerations in mind, we selected the zwitterionic type of organic ligand 3,5-dicarboxy-1-(3-carboxybenzyl)pyridin-1-ium chloride (H3DccbpCl) to construct a new Cd(II) coordination polymer {[Cd4(Dccbp)4]·H2O}. As far as we know, this luminescent probe has the potential as a first case of a zwitterionic organic ligand-based luminescent CP material for the selective, sensitive and recyclable detection of TNP in water.

Crystallographic data were collected at 296 K on a Bruker Smart AXS CCD (Munich, Germany) diffractometer with graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) using ω-scan technique. Cell parameters were retrieved using SMART software and refined with SAINT on all observed reflections. Absorption corrections were applied with the program SADABS. The NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker DRX400 (Billerica, MA, USA) (1H: 400 MHZ, 13C: 100 MHZ), chemical shifts (δ) are expressed in ppm, and deuterated DMSO was used as solvent. IR spectra were recorded on a FT-IR Thermo Nicolet Avatar 360 (Waltham, MA, USA) using KBr pellet. Elemental analyses of C, H, and N were determined on an Elementar Vario III EL elemental analyzer (Elementar, Langenselbold, Germany). The phase purity of the samples was investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) measurements carried out on a Bruker D8-Advance diffractometer (Munich, Germany) equipped with CuKα radiation (λ = 1.5406 Å) at a scan speed of 1°/min. Thermal stability studies were carried out on a NETSCHZ STA-449C (Bavaria, Germany) thermoanalyzer with a heating rate of 10°C/min under a nitrogen atmosphere. All luminescent analyses were performed on a F-7000 (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) fluorescent spectrometer.

3. Results

3.1. Crystal Structures

3.1.1. Descriptions of the Crystal Structures of {[Cd4(Dccbp)4]·H2O} (1)

Coordination polymer 1 crystallizes in the P21/c space group of the monoclinic system. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that 1 has a 2D (3, 6)-connected binodal layer. The asymmetric unit of 1 consists of one Cd(II) ion, one fully deprotonated Dccbp2− ligand and one lattice water molecule. Each Cd(II) ion adopts an interesting distorted triangular prism coordination geometry (Figure 1) and is coordinated by six carboxyl oxygen atoms (O5, O6, O1A, O3B, O2C and O4D) from five Dccbp2− ligands, with bond distances ranging from 2.249(3)–2.554(4) Å, and angles ranging from 82.77(12)–146.37(12)° (Figure 1). As shown in Figure S3, the three carboxylate groups of Dccbp2− ligand adopt two kinds of coordination modes, one of which is benzyl-COO group adopts chelating bidentate coordination mode, and the other two pyridyl-COO groups show bidentate bridging coordination fashion. In this compound, the Dccbp2− ligand exists in V-shaped conformation, with the dihedral angle of the benzene ring and the pyridine ring is about 85.02°, but the two aromatic rings are twisted with a torsion angle of C(4)-N(1)-C(6)-C(7) is 86.5°.
In this structure, two adjacent Cd(II) ions are joined by sharing four carboxylate groups of four Dccbp2− ligands in bidentate bridging coordination mode to form paddle-wheel-like dimers {Cd2(μ2-CO2)4}, with the Cd1⋯Cd1E distance of 3.5313(5) Å in it. The neighboring dinuclear subunits are connected by sharing two trans bridging Dccbp2− ligands to generate beaded chains along the b axis (Figure 1), which are further extended by pyridyl-COO and pyridine ring spacers in Dccbp2− ligands to produce a 2D (3, 6)-connected binodal net and its topological analysis suggests the presence of the overall structure has kgd topology. The 3D supramolecular architecture of compound 1 is obtained from the interlayer π···π stacking interactions between neighboring phenyl rings and benzene rings (centroid−centroid: 4.183 Å) (Figure S4).

3.1.2. Powder X-ray Power Diffraction (PXRD) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)

In order to determine whether the crystal structure truly represents the crystalline material tested in the performance study, Compound 1 was subjected to PXRD experiment at room temperature. As shown in Figure 2, the as-simulated patterns from the single-crystal data is consistent with the PXRD experimental ones in key positions, indicating that the good purity of the bulk crystal products of 1. To study the stabilities of CP 1, thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis of 1 was developed under nitrogen atmosphere from room temperature to 800 °C (Figure S5). From 60 to 232 °C, the weight loss is 1.12% (calc. 1.08%) due to the loss of a molecule of free water. The frame structure of CP 1 began to decompose until about 370 °C, showing good thermal stability.

3.2. Solid-State Luminescence of Compound 1

Considering CPs composed of d10 metal centers with π-conjugated ligands are expected to have excellent luminescent properties, the solid state luminescent properties of the free H3DccbpCl ligand and Compound 1 were recorded at ambient temperature. As shown in Figure 3, the free H3DccbpCl ligand presents a broad emission band centered at 413 nm when excited at 356 nm, which is assigned to the typical π*–π transition of ligands. The fluorescence of complex 1 is similar to that of a free ligand, and when excited at 321 nm, an emission peak is shown at 407 nm. Compared to ligand emission, blue shift may be due to conformational changes of ligands when bound to metal ions [36,37].

3.3. Selective sensing of 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol

The high luminescence intensity of the CP 1 prompts us to further investigate the potential luminescence sensing capability of 1 for TNP in aqueous phase. Firstly, the finely ground sample of 1 (10 mg) is immersed in the same concentration of different nitro compound being 50 μM (5 mL), then treated by sonication for 60 minutes followed by aging for 24 hours produced a stable suspension prior to the fluorescence study. The nitro compounds used are 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP), 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP), 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), 1,3-dinitrobenzene (m-DNB), 1,4-dinitrobenzene (p-DNB), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT) and nitrobenzene (NM). All eight nitro analytes can weaken the luminescent intensity of 1 to a varying degree. Interestingly, a significant luminescence attenuation with a quench percentage (QP) of 86% is observed in the presence of TNP All nitro analytes tested in the experiment were able to attenuate the luminescence intensity of 1 to varying degrees. Interestingly, a significant luminescence decay of 86% QP (quench percentage) was observed in the presence of TNP (Figure 4a). However, the QP of 1 of 2,4-DNP, 4-NP, m-DNB, p-DNB, 2,4-DNT, 2,6-DNT and NM is 44%, 36%, 25%, 20%, 16%, 15%, 12%, respectively. These results clearly indicate that the sensitivity of 1 towards TNP is higher than that of other nitro analytes in aquatic systems.
In order to better understand the sensing ability of 1 for TNP, fluorescence quenching titration was further performed by recording the emission spectrum of the 1-aqueous suspension gradually added with TNP. As shown in Figure 4b, the intensity of luminescence at 407 nm decreased significantly as the concentration of TNP increased. In addition, the Stern-Volmer (SV) equation can be used to rationalize the low-concentration quenching effect: Io/I = 1 + Ksv × [M], where Io and I are the luminescence intensities in the absence and in the presence of the TNP, respectively; Ksv is the quenching constant, and [M] is the molar concentration of TNP [38,39]. Interestingly, the SV plots were nearly linear at low concentration (R2 = 0.9919), but a slight non-linear feature was produced at a higher concentration (Figure 4c, inset). The nonlinear characteristics in SV diagrams indicate the consolidation of the phenomena of dynamic and static quenching and/or energy transfer between 1 and TNP. This static quenching may be due to the electrostatic interactions between the pyridine cations of zwitterionic ligands and hydroxyl groups of TNP (Figure S6), while the dynamic one may be due to the collisional encounters between the fluorene moieties and TNP [40,41]. The possible reason for the luminescence quenching may be due to the photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) mechanism. The nitro compounds with electron-deficient property can obtain an electron from excited ligand (Figure S6), which is similar to that reported in previous work [42,43]. The Ksv of 1 for TNP was calculated to be 8.7787 × 104 M−1 at low concentrations, which is comparable to the highest values known for previously reported CP-based sensors, such as [NH2(CH3)2]4[Zn3(HBDPO)2(SO4)2] (1.2 × 104 M−1) [44], [Mg3(1,4-NDC)4(u-H2O)2] (1.5 × 104 M−1) [45], [Zn4O-(bpt)2(bdc)0.5] (1.69 × 104 M−1) [46], and which clearly demonstrates the potential of 1 as a high sensitivity luminescent probe for TNP.
Additionally, taking into account the repeatability of chemical sensors is a very important parameter for practicality, the reproducibility of fluorescence detection on 1 was also investigated to find that 1 can be regenerated and reused at least five times after being sensed by centrifuging the dispersed crystals in water and washing several times in water (Figure 5). By monitoring the emission spectra of 1 disperse in the presence of 50 μM TNP, it is found that the quenching efficiency of each cycle is basically unchanged. Furthermore, the PXRD patterns of the 1 sample recovered after 5 cycles of detection showed the same patterns as the initial sample, indicating high stability of the material. (Figure S7). The above results indicate that 1 can be used as a fluorescent probe for TNP with high selectivity, sensitivity and recyclability.

4. Conclusions

In summary, a new type of luminescence probe based on coordination polymer 1 was successfully designed and synthesized under hydrothermal conditions by d10 metal (Cd2+) and a zwitterionic organic ligand. This material was used as a chemical sensor to detect various nitro analytes to find that CP 1 can provide an excellent fluorescent sensor for the highly selective and sensitive detection of TNP in water. Furthermore, since CP 1 can be easily regenerated by simply washing with water at least five cycles without gradually shrinking diminishing the fluorescence intensities and destroying the basic frame structure, it exhibits good recyclability. Although various luminescent CP materials detecting TNP in the vapour phase and/or organic solvents have already been reported, aqueous phase detection is rarely investigated. Considering the presence of TNP in the aqueous environment, the detection of TNP in an aquatic system designed in this article is more suitable for practical applications. Further research is being carried out in our laboratory.
