A novel Tb(III) coordination polymer and discrete complexes have been synthesized by one-pot reaction utilising flexible tripodal Schiff base ligands, tris[2-(salicylideneamino)ethyl]amine (H3L) derivatives. Condensation of 5-methylsalicylaldehyde (5-MeSal) with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) in the presence of Tb(CF3SO3)(3) in a 3:2:1 (=5-MeSaktren:Tb(III)) molar ratio gives (TbL)-L-1, and the deprotonated ligand encapsulates the Tb(III) in its N4O3 cavity in endo-coordination. Here, the excess tren acts as a base to dissociate the proton of the ligand. Decreasing the amount of tren to a 3:1:1 ratio gives [Tb((H3L)-L-1)(2)](CF3SO3)(3). H2O. In this compound, the Tb(III) centre is coordinated by two (H3L)-L-1 ligands adopting the exo-capping mode to provide three O atoms outside the cavity of (H3L)-L-1. Replacing Tb(CF3SO3)(3) with Tb(NO3)3 in the above reaction induced a substantial structural change to coordination polymer [Tb((H3L)-L-1)(NO3)(3)DMF.1/6H(2)O](n). In this polymer, the ligand adopts an unprecedented exo-bridging coordination mode, which is the first bridging mode observed for this tripodal Schiff base ligands. Three aromatic rings of the exo-bridging ligand are close to each other by CH center dot center dot center dot pi interactions and each O atom coordinates to three different Tb(III) ions to construct a three-dimensional polymeric connection. The 3D framework has the nano-pore structure with inner walls that consisted of alternately appearing hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. The present study shows that the tripodal Schiff base ligand can be a novel class of flexible building block to construct the Ln(III) coordination polymer. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
