Two novel coordination polymers [Zn2(tfbdc)2(DMF)2(EtOH)]n (1) and [Zn(tfbdc)(MeOH)4]n (2) have been prepared by reactions of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, tetrafluoroterephthalatic acid (H2tfbdc), and hexamethylenetetramine (hmt) in their respective solvent systems. Complex 1 shows a 3D pillar-layered framework with rare (3,5)-connected gra topology, while 2 has a 1D zigzag chain structure, with the interchain hydrogen-bonding interactions resulting in the formation of a 3D network. The results reveal that the coordinated-solvent plays a subtle and important role in the assembly procedure. Photoluminescent property of the complexes has also been investigated.
Graphical AbstractTwo new coordination polymers, [Zn2(tfbdc)2(DMF)2(EtOH)]n with rare (3,5)-connected gra topology and [Zn(tfbdc)(MeOH)4]n with 1D zigzag chain, have been obtained via coordinated-solvent effect and the two complexes display fluorescent properties.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideResearch Highlights► Two Zinc(II) coordination Polymers have been obtained via coordinated-solvent effect. ► Complex 1 exhibits 3D framework with rare (3,5)-connected gra topology. ► Complex 2 shows 1D zigzag chain and further 3D hydrogen-bonding structure. ► Coordinated-solvent plays a subtle role in distinct architecture of both complexes. ► Complex 1 exhibits 3D framework with rare (3,5)-connected gra topology; Complex 2 shows 1D zigzag chain and further 3D hydrogen-bonding structure.
