Construction of six new coordination complexes with 5-(3-pyridyl) tetrazole-2-acetato

•Hpytza ligand was prepared.•Six complexes based on Hpytza were prepared.•The complexes show 1D or 2D structures.•The luminescence properties were investigated.

Six new complexes with 3-pytza ligand (3-pytza = 5-(3-pyridyl) tetrazole-2-acetato), [Sr(3-pytza)2(H2O)2]n·nH2O (1), [Zn(3-pytza)2(H2O)2]n·2nH2O (2), [Cu(3-pytza)2(H2O)]n·2nH2O (3), [Pb(3-pytza)2]n (4), [Eu(3-pytza)2Cl(H2O)2]n (5), [Tb(3-pytza)2Cl(H2O)2]n (6) have been synthesized. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray analysis reveals that these compounds display 1D or 2D structures. Furthermore, the luminescent properties of 1–6 were investigated at room temperature in the solid state.
