Abstract

The bifunctional molecule tetrakis(methylthio)-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (TMBD) interacts with the increasingly harder metal ions of Cu^I, Cd^II, and Zn^II to form the coordination networks of Cu₂TMBD, CdTMBD, and Zn₄O(H₂O) ₃(TMBD)₃, where the carboxyl group consistently bonds to metal ions, while the softer methylthio group binds with preference to the softer metal ions (i.e., chelation to Cu⁺, single-fold coordination to Cd²⁺, and nonbonding to Zn²⁺). Diffuse-reflectance spectra show that the metal-thioether interaction is associated with smaller electronic band gaps of the solid-state networks. © 2008 American Chemical Society.
