ABSTRACT
Due to their rich structural chemistry and wide variety of applications, borate materials have provided a rich area of research. In a continuation of this research, diethylammonium bis(2-oxidobenzoato-κ2O1,O2)borate, C4H12N+·BO4(C7H4O)2-, (1), and propylammonium bis(2-oxidobenzoato-κ2O1,O2)borate, C3H10N+·BO4(C7H4O)2-, (2), have been synthesized by the reaction of boric acid with salicylic acid under ambient conditions. In both structures, the B atom exhibits a slightly distorted tetrahedral environment formed by the bidentate coordination of two salicylate anions via the O atoms of the central carboxylate and oxide groups. In the crystals of salts (1) and (2), mixed cation-anion layers lying parallel to the (101) plane are formed through N-H...O, C-H...O and C-H...π/N-H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions, resulting, in each case, in a two-dimensional supramolecular architecture in the solid state. The photoluminescence properties of the salts were studied using the as-synthesized samples and reveal that salts (1) and (2) both display a strong blue-light emission, with maxima at 489 and 491â
nm, respectively. In DFT/TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) studies, the blue emission appears to be derived from an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) excited state. In addition, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopies were used to investigate the title salts.
