Abstract: | Abstract1-D coordination polymers, 1∞[Zn(fl)2]·2EtOH and 1∞[Zn(fl)2]·2MeOH, and a dinuclear complex, [{Zn(fl)2}2(dienpip)]·4H2O·4EtOH (dienpip?= N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)piperazine), were obtained using Zn(II) ions and fluorescein anions (fl). Thermal analysis shows stability of the polymers after solvent removal up to more than 400?°C. Crystallization solvent molecules were removed under reduced pressure with the preservation of the polymeric structure, 1∞[Zn(fl)2]. Desolvated crystals were exposed to I2 vapors and the crystal structure determination by X-ray diffraction confirmed the presence of I2 molecules in the channels generated in crystals by the metal-organic framework. The iodine content, evaluated by X-ray diffraction, corresponds to the overall formula 1∞[Zn(fl)2]·0.3I2. The optical properties of the coordination polymers and the dinuclear complex have been investigated. |
