Abstract

A new Zn(II)-cluster-based coordination polymer-namely, {[Zn5(μ3-OH)2(bbi)(OBA)4]·2H2O·2MeCN}n(1) (bbi = 1,1′-(1,4-butanediyl)bis(imidazole), H2OBA = 4,4-oxybisbenzoic acid) was synthesized under solvothermal conditions using MeCN/H2O (7:4) as solvents and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and luminescent measurements. Single-crystal structure analyses reveal that the complex 1 is a 3D interlocking framework based on the pentanuclearmetal clusters of [Zn5(μ3-OH)2(COO)6] as secondary building units, which possesses {33·46·55·6}network topology considering the pentanuclear cluster as 6-connected nodes. Additionally, the long emission lifetime of complex 1 displays that it is promising photoluminescent material.
