Abstract

A neutral zincophosphate monomer [Zn(2,2′-bipy)]2(H2PO4)4 has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition in the presence of 2,2′-bipyridine ligands. The structure consists of a 4-membered ring formed by vertex-sharing ZnO3N2 square pyramids and H2PO4 tetrahedra, with two H2PO4 groups hanging from the zinc atoms. This compound exhibits intense photoluminescence upon photoexcitation at 388 nm.
