Abstract

A new inorganic-organic hybrid solid, (4,4-bipy) [Zn(HPO3)]2 (4,4-bipy= 4,4-bipyridine), has been hydrothermally synthesized in the presence of 4,4-bipy ligand. Its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and further characterized by FTIR, elemental analysis, ICP analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and fluorescent spectrum. It crystallized in the monoclinic space group, P21/c, with a=9.741(2), b=7.4423(16), c=10.271(2) Å, β=100.038(4)°, V=733.3(3) Å3, Z=2. The structure consists of neutral sheets of zinc phosphite which is pillared through 4,4-bipy ligands to generate a 3D framework. The compound shows relatively high thermal stability and exhibits intense photoluminescence upon photo-excitation at 362 nm.
