Self-assembly of two chiral zinc coordination polymers based on N-benzoyl-l-glutamic acid: Influence of different N-donor ancillary ligands on structural arrangement and photoluminescent properties

Two chiral Zn(II) coordination polymers based on N-benzoyl-l-glutamic acid and different N-donor ancillary ligands were prepared and structurally characterized. Complex 1 features a 2-D wave-like sheet structure, while complex 2 is a 3-D network structure. Moreover, we also study the influence of different N-donor ancillary ligands on the construction of coordination polymers and photoluminescent properties.
