Lead(II) coordination polymers with imidazole-4- and pyrazole-3-carboxylate isomeric linkers: Structural diversity and luminescence properties

Two new 1D and 2D Pb(II)-based CPs formed by isomeric carboxylate linkers 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (4imCOOH) and 1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (3pyrCOOH) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray analysis. The lone pair activity, luminescence and thermal properties have been studied.303
