Four Zn(II) metal-organic coordination polymers (Zn-MCPs), Zn2(O-cpia)(2,2′-bpy)·OH (1), Zn2(O-cpia)(4,4′-bpy)0.5·OH (2), Zn3(O-cpia)2(bpp)2·H2O (3) and Zn4(O-cpia)2(phen)2·(OH)2 (4), were synthesized by using the mixed ligands approach, namely 5-(2-carboxyl-phenoxy)-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (O-cpiaH3) and different auxiliary...
