Abstract
A new Zn(II) compound, namely [Zn3(oxa)3(bix)3]n (1 H2oxa = oxalic acid, bix = 4,4′-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene), has been synthesized by the reactions of Zn(II) ions with H2oxa and bix ligands under hydrothermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that compound 1 features a 2D layer framework, which further extended into a 3D supramolecular framework via intermolecular hydrogen bonds. In addition, the luminescent property of 1 was also investigated in the solid state at room temperature.
