Syntheses and topological networks of two azide complexes based on 4-amino-3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole ligands

Two new azide complexes, [Cd2(3-abpt)(N3)4]n (1) and [Cu(3-abpt)2(N3)2] (2) (3-abpt = 4-amino-3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole), have been prepared and structurally characterized. Complex 1 displays an interesting 2D polymeric structure with rarely reported 3,7-connected (32;4)(34;46;56;65) network in the Schafli notation. Complex 2 contains mononuclear pieces, and they are linked each other through weak Cu⋯N coordination bonds to form a 2D sheet with (4, 4) topology. The thermal stability and fluorescent property of 1 have also been investigated.
