Abstract:
© 2017 Elsevier B.V.Reactions of PbI2 with N-alkylated derivatives of 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpen) MeBpenI and Me2BpenI2 result in 1D-polymeric complexes [{Pb(MeBpen)I3}] (1) and (Me2bpen)[{PbI3}]2 (2). For both compounds, band gap values were determinated experimentally; 1 demonstrates weak red luminescence. Binuclear hybrid iodobismuthate [Bi2(MeBpen)2I8] (3) was obtained by the similar scheme using BiI3 instead of PbI2.
