By varying the solvents and temperatures under solvothermal conditions, two new magnesium based coordination networks were synthesized using 2,5-thiophenedicarbxoylate as a linker. Mg3(TDC)3(DMF)3 [1; TDC = 2,5 thiophenedicarboxylate; space group P21/c, a = 17.747(4) Å, b = 9.805(2) Å, c = 21.359(4) Å, β = 103.13(3)°] is constructed by a combination of magnesium polyhedral trimers, which are connected by the TDC2− linkers to form a 3-D network. Coordinated DMF molecules are present within the channels. Mg(TDC)(H2O)2 [2; space group Pnma, a = 7.296(4) Å, b = 17.760(4) Å, c = 6.6631(3) Å] is formed by 1-D chains of magnesium octahedra connected by the TDC2− linker. Water molecules are coordinated at the axial positions of the magnesium octahedra. Compound 1 is formed using DMF as the synthesis solvent at 180 °C, while compound 2 is formed using ethanol as the synthesis solvent at 100 °C. Both compounds show enhanced photoluminescence intensity when excited at 397 nm compared to the free TDC ligand, suggesting a charge transfer between the ligand and the magnesium metal center.
