Abstract

A 3D zinc(II) threefold interpenetrating network {[Zn(dimb) 2](ClO 4) 2} n ( 1) and a π–π induced silver(I) double zigzag polymer {[Ag(dimb)](NO 3)·(H 2O)} n ( 2) were synthesized via a functional bidentate ligand 1,3-di(imidazole-1-yl-methyl)-5-methyl-benzene (dimb). The X-ray single crystal structural study indicated that the former complex represents an example of 3D interpenetrating network with a diamond topology in which aromatic ligands serve as the connector, while the latter is the first double zigzag polymer that has been formed by two adjacent infinite 1D zigzags through π–π interactions between benzene rings of the ligand.
