| Abstract: | The title complex, {[Zn(ODIB)1/2(bpdc)]·2DMF}n was prepared under hydrothermal conditions (dimethylformamide and water) based on two ligands, namely, 1,1′-oxy-bis[3,5-diimidazolyl-benzene] (ODIB) and biphenyldicarboxylic acid (H2bpdc). ODIB ligands link Zn cations to give layers in crystal. bpdc2– anions coordinate to Zn atoms, however, their introduction does not increase the dimension of the structure. Each layer is partially passes through the adjacent layers in the offset ABAB manner. |
