A Zinc Complex Based on 4-Bromoisophthalic Acid and 1,2-Bi(4-pyridyl)ethane: Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Fluorescent Properties

Crystal structure of catena-[(μ2-5-methylisophthalato)(μ2-1,3-bis-(1,2,4- triazol-1-yl)pro pane)]zinc(II)dihydrate, [Zn(C9H6O4)(C7H10N6)]·2H2O, C16H20N6O6Zn

“…Major reasons for this interest stem from the d 10 metal ions not only possessing various coordination numbers and geometries, but also exhibiting photoluminescent properties when bound to functional ligands. Organic aromatic multicarboxylate, such as 1,n-benzenedicarboxylate (n =2,3,or4), 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylate, and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate, as the linkers between the metal centers, present versatile coordination modes, can yield predetermined networks and have been widely utilized to construct coordination polymers [8][9][10][11][12]. 5-methylisophthalic acid (H 2 mip), aderivative of isophthalic acid, has asubstituent, asubtle difference to H 2 ip, and the difference mays ignificantly influence the resulting metal-organic frameworks, although substituents will not be involved in metal coordination.…”

“…Photoluminescent properties of coordination compounds which contain d 10 metal centers have been attracting increasing interest [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Major reasons for this interest stem from the d 10 metal ions not only possessing various coordination numbers and geometries, but also exhibiting photoluminescent properties when bound to functional ligands.…”
