A new metal-organic framework, {Zn[Zn3（BTA）3（μ3-OH）（H2O）3]2}n 1, has been synthesized under hydrothermal reaction of ZnCl2 and bis（5-tetrazolyl）amine （H2BTA）, and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, Raman spectrum, X-ray single-crystal diffraction, TGA and photoluminescence measurements. Compound 1 crystallizes in the trigonal system, space group P-3cl, a = 13.667（3）, c = 12.981（3） A, V = 2099.6（8） A3 and Z = 2. The BTA2- ligand in 1 assumes theμ3 tetradentate mode with both 1,2- and 1,4-tetrazole bridges, generating an unusual 2-D layer, in which the [Zn3（μ3-OH）] triangular motifs act as three-connecting nodes and the mononuclear Zn atoms as six-connecting nodes that are inter-linked by organic ligands. Adjacent 2-D metal-organic layers are linked by strong hydrogen bonds to form a novel 3-D supramolecular framework. Complex 1 exhibits blue fluorescence emission in the solid state at ambient temperature.     

Synthesis and Structure of 1.5Zn（phen）3·L·3NO3 Supramolecule （phen = o-Phenanthroline,L = 4-Aminoacetophenone Thiosemicarbazone）

A supramolecular framework, 1.5Zn（phen）3·L·3NO3 （C63H48Zn1.5N16O9S）, has been synthesized. The ligand L was synthesized by the condensation of p-aminoacetophenone with thiosemicarbazide. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, with a = 31.005（2）, b = 15.114（2）, c = 24.887（3） A, β = 94.260（2）° Z = 8, V = 11630（2）A^3 Dc = 1.489 g/cm^3, Mr = 1303.29,λ（MoKa） = 0.71069 A,μ= 0.735 mm^-1, F（000） = 5368, Rint = 0.0699, R= 0.0505 and wR= 0.0707. Two independent Zn atoms are both coordinated by six N atoms from three phen ligands. π-π and C-H…π interactions among the L ligands and Zn（phen）3 cations, π-π and C-H...π interactions among the Zn（phen）3 cations and N-H...O hydrogen bonds among the L ligands and nitrate anions connect the whole structure into a 3-D supramolecular framework.
