A New Luminescent Zn(II) Coordination Polymer With Eightfold Interpenetrated ths Topology

Abstract

Via the solvothermal reactions of Zn(NO3)2, H2tdc and bib, a new Zn(II) coordination polymer, namely [Zn(tdc)(bib)0.5(H2O)]n (1 H2tdc = 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid, bib = 1,4-bis(imidazolyl)butane), was obtained. The crystal crystallizes in orthorhombic Pbcn space group, a = 11.6785(4) Å, b = 11.6776(6) Å, c = 19.8439(7) Å, α = b = γ = 90°, Z = 8. The single X-ray structural analysis reveals that compound 1 features a 8-fold interpenetrated 3D framework with 3-connected ths topology. In addition, the solid state luminescent property of 1 was also investigated at room temperature.
