Abstract

Two new Zn(II) coordination polymers based on bis(imidazol), namely, [Zn(hba)2(bib)]n(1) and [Zn(NAA)(bib)1.5]n·nNO3−·3nH2O (2) (Hhba = 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, HNAA = 1-naphthyl acetic acid, bib = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-butane) have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Their structures have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, elemental analyses, IR, TG and fluorescence spectrums. Complex 1 shows a one-dimensional zigzag chain structure. Complex 2 exhibits two-dimensional network structure. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions extend the complexes 1 and 2 into supramolecular architectures and play an important role in stabilizing complexes 1 and 2. Furthermore, complex 1 exhibits intense blue luminescence and appears to be a good candidate for novel hybrid inorganic–organic photoactive materials, while no photoluminescent response was observed for complex 2. In addition, we analyzed the Natural Bond Orbitals (NBO) of 1 and 2 using the PBE0/LANL2DZ method in the Gaussian 09 Program. The calculations showed the obvious covalent interaction between the coordinated atoms and Zn(II) ion.
