The title compound[Zn(btzb)2Cl2]·2H2O(1·2H2O,btzb=1,2-bis(5-tetrazolyl)benzene)was synthesized in situ by the[2 3] cycloaddition reaction of phthalonitrile with NaN3 in water in the presence of ZnCl2 under refluxing conditions.1·2H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic system,space group P21/c with a=9.0119(18),b=7.5566(15),c=18.076(5)(A),β=114.67(2)°,V=1118.6(4)(A)3,Z=2,Dc=1.784 g/cm3 T=223(2)K,C16H16N16O2Cl2Zn,Mr=600.74,F(000)=608,μ(MoKα)=1.393 mm-1,S=1.081,R=0.0306 and wR=0.0669 for 1896 observed reflections with Ⅰ ＞2σ(Ⅰ).The Zn2 ion of 1 is coordinated by four N atoms from two btzb ligands and two Cl atoms,forming a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.A number of intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions between molecules 1 and/or the solvated water molecules result in a 3D hydrogen-bonded structure.The luminescent property of 1·2H2O was also investigated.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel 1D Coordination Polymer: [Pr(BYBA)3(H2O)2]·[Pr(BYBA)3(H2O)]

The novel coordination polymer [Pr(BYBA)3(H2O)2]·[Pr(BYBA)3(H2O)] (BYBAH = 2-benzoylbenzoic acid) was yielded by hydrothermal synthesis, determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and characterized by FT-IR and UV-Vis spectra. The crystal crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P with a = 9.112(3), b = 14.644(5), c = 27.076(11) (A), α = 84.223(3), β = 87.816(4), γ = 88.902(4)o, V = 3592(2) (A)3, C84H60O21Pr2, Mr = 1687.14, Z = 2, F(000) = 1700, Dc = 1.560 g/cm3, μ = 1.419 mm-1, the final R = 0.0485 and wR = 0.1258 for 13035 observed reflections with I＞2((I). The compound contains two different building units, [Pr2(BYBA)6(H2O)4] and [Pr2(BYBA)6(H2O)2]. It is noticeable that [Pr2(BYBA)6(H2O)4] is an isolated binuclear building block, in which the Pr3 ion centers are both located in an eight-coordinated environment. However, in [Pr2(BYBA)6(H2O)2] the Pr3 ion centers are located in a nine-coordinated environment and connected by BYBA ligands to form 1D chains.
