Synthesis, Characterization, and Luminescence of Two New Zinc(II) Coordination Polymers Constructed by 5‐(4‐Carboxybenzyloxy)Isophthalic Acid Ligand

Abstract

AbstractTwo coordination polymers, namely Zn(HL)(4,4′‐bpy)1.5 (1), [Zn3(L)2(BIMB)2]·5H2O (2) [H3L = 5‐(4‐carboxybenzyloxy)isophthalic acid, 4,4′‐bpy = 4,4′‐bipyridine, BIMB = 1,4‐bis(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene] were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Their structures are determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric (TG) analyses. Complex 1 features a 2D 4‐connected network. Complex 2 is a 3D twofold interpenetrating (3,4,6)‐connected net. In addition, the luminescent properties for 1 and 2 were studied in the solid state at room temperature.
