Using the solvothermal method, we present the comparative preparation of [Zn 2 (Hfhba) 4 (phen) 2 ] (1), [Zn 2 (Hfhba) 4 (2,2 0 -bipy) 2 ] (2) and [Zn 2 (Hfhba) 4 (4,4 0 -bipy) 2 ] n (3), where H 2 fhba is 5-fluoro-2-hydroxy-benzoic acid, phen is 1,10-Phenanthroline, 2,2 0 -bipy is 2,2 0 -Bipyridine, 4,4 0 -bipy is 4,4 0 -Bipyridine. Complexes 1-3 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 are two new dinuclear complexes and 3 is a 1-D polymer. Luminescent properties of 1-3 have also been studied.
