Blue emission of a 2D non-interpenetrated zinc coordination polymer constructed through saturated fatty acid ligand

• We report a non-interpenetrated 2D zinc compound based on saturated fatty acid.
• This compound exhibits tunable blue emission excited by UV light.
• The luminescent mechanism of this compound has been studied theoretically.

We report a new non-interpenetrated 2D zinc coordination polymer, [Zn(AA)(BPHY)]n (1) (H2AA = adipic acid, BPHY = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)hydrazine), which is a mixed ligand complex. The solid-state sample of 1 exhibits tunable blue emission excited by UV light with the wavelengths from 320 nm to 380 nm. The luminescent mechanism of 1 has been studied by theoretical calculation.
