| Abstract: | Four complexes with supramolecular architectures, namely, MZCA · 3H2O ( 1 ), [Zn(H2O)6]2+ · [MZCA]2 · [H2O]6 ( 2 ), [Mn(MZCA)2(H2O)4] · 2H2O ( 3 ), and [Ni(MZCA)2(H2O)4] · 2H2O ( 4 ) [MZCA = 3‐(carboxymethyl)‐2, 7‐dimethyl‐3H‐benzo[d]imidazole‐5‐carboxylic acid], were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 display a remarkable 3D network with 1D hydrophilic channels. Complexes 3 and 4 are isostructural and exhibit a 3D structure encapsulating 1D 24‐membered ring microporous channels. The UV/Vis and fluorescent spectra were measured to characterize complexes 1 – 4 . The thermal stability of complexes 2 – 4 were also examined. |
