Abstract

Two novel zinc(II) coordination polymers, [Zn3(μ3-OH)2(nip)2] (1) and [Zn2(nip)2(4,4′-bpy)3· (OH2)] (2) (H2nip = 5-nitroisophthalic acid, 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridyl), were obtained by the hydrothermal reactions of zinc nitrate, 5-nitroisophthalate (nip) (for 1) and zinc nitrate, 5-nitroisophthalate and 4,4′-bipyridyl (for 2). Complex 1 displays a two-dimensional structure that is built from [Zn33-OH)2]n chains, while com-plex 2 is a three-dimensional structure formed by the interpenetration of two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded bilayers. The photoluminescent properties of complex 1 have also been investigated.
