Abstract

A new coordination polymer was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, namely [Zn(Bpy)(DHTA)0.5]n (DHTA = 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-terephthalic acid tetra-anion, Bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine). There is one Zn(II) ion in [Zn(Bpy)(DHTA)0.5]n, the metal center Zn(II) is five-coordinated and forms a slightly twisted square pyramidal geometry. It remains stable at temperatures as high as 380 °C, and a sharp drop in weight is found in the temperature range of 380–570 °C. The calculation results show that the residual is zinc(II) oxide (ZnO). The emission peak of the complex appears at 365 nm (λex = 366 nm). The photoluminescence results suggest that the complex has potential as a new luminescence material. At the same time, in luminescence explorations experiments, the complex showed a high degree of selectivity and sensitivity to organic solvents, acetone (DMK) and metal ions (Fe3+).

Summary

Introduction

Metal organic frameworks (MOF) and coordination polymers (CPs) have become attractive for academic and industrial fields, due to their luminescence [1,2,3,4,5,6], electrical conductivity [7], chemical sensing [8,9,10,11,12], magnetic [13], catalytic activity [14,15], gas storage or separation [16,17,18,19,20] and other applications leading to them having different functional characteristics in economic, technical and environmental aspects. Zhang and co-workers have synthesized a good luminescent zinc(II) coordination complex sensor that is beneficial to the environment and has a wide range of applications for detecting environmental pollutants in organic solutions or water [22]. Rosales-Vázquez et al have successfully synthesized a new type of luminescent water-stabilized zinc complex, which has excellent photoluminescence chemical sensing ability for cyanide ions in sewage [23].
