Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Zinc(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer Assembled by 4-Nitrophthalic Acid and Bis(imidazol) Ligands

A new complex [Zn(4-nph)(bib)]_(2n)·nH_2O(1) has been obtained by the reaction of metal(Zn(Ⅱ)),1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-butane(bib) with 4-nitrophthalic acid(4-H_(2nph)).The crystal structure of 1 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.Compound 1 is of triclinic system,space group P1 with a = 10.3251,b = 12.4503,c = 16.6497 ?,α = 88.487(3),β = 72.529(3),γ = 79.991(3)°,V = 2009.8(5) ?~3 and Mr = 945.47.Complex 1 shows a three-dimensional(3 D) framework.Moreover,through intermolecular hydrogen bonds,compound 1 is assembled into a supramolecular structure.The thermal stability and luminescent properties of 1 are also investigated.
