Synthesis, characterization, properties and crystal structure of heterometallic 1D coordination polymers{[CuLZn· CuLZn(H2O)]·H2O}n

Copper-zinc heterometallic 1D chain coordination polymer has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, and IR spectra etc. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The title complex is 1 D chain coordination polymer with the chemical formula {CuLZn·CuLZn(H2O)]·H2O}n, where H4L=N-(2-hydroxybenzamido)-N'-(3-carboxy-Isalicylidene)ethylenediamine. Its structural unit is comprosed of two tetranuclear cycles formed by two dissymmetrical tetranuclear units. These units polymerized each other to form 1D chain coordination polymer.
