Two Coordination Polymers based on 2‐Ethyl‐1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylic Acid and 1,3‐Bis(4‐pyridyl)propane: Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Photoluminescent Properties

Abstract

Two coordination polymers, [Cd(Heidc)(bpp)] n (1) and [Zn 3 (eidc) 2 (bpp)(H 2 O) 2 ]·2H 2 O} n (2) (H 3 eidc = 2-ethyl-4,5-imidazole dicarboxylic acid, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane) were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, spectroscopy single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses.
