Abstract
A new zinc(II) complex Zn(H3Pimda)2] · H2O (I), where H3Pimda = 2-Propyl-1H-imidazole-4, 5-dicarboxylic acid, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P\(\bar 1\), with a = 8.397(3), b = 11.271(4), c = 12.312(5)A, α = 70.432(5), β = 70.984(5), γ = 74.897(5)°, V = 1022.9(7) A3, Mr = 475.71, Z = 2, ρc = 1.695 g/cm3, F(000) = 488, μ = 1.151 mm−1, R = 0.0659 and Rw =0.1525 for 3769 observed reflections. The hydrogen bonding derived from the coordinated waters connects the mononuclear zinc complex units into a one-dimensional chain, and these chains are further linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds into a 2D supramolecular network. Complex I also displays strong photoluminescence properties in the liquid state at room temperature.
