Abstract

Two novel coordination polymers, namely {[Zn(sbdc)(bmib)]·0.4H2O}n (1) and {[Zn(sbdc)(bibd)]·DMF}n (2) (H2sbdc = 4,4′-stilbenedicarboxylic, bmib = 1,4-bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)butane, bibd = 1,1′-(1,4-butanediyl)bis(imidazole), DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), have been acquired under solvothermal conditions, and have been characterised by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). Single-crystal XRD analysis reveals that 1 shows eight-fold interpenetrating 3D frameworks with a four-connected (66) sqc6 topology and 2 displays four-connected three-fold interpenetrating 3D frameworks. The flexible N-donor ligands play an important role in the construction of the final topological structures for 1 and 2. Furthermore, 1 and 2 exhibit good photodegradation capability and photoluminescence properties.
