ABSTRACT
A new Zn(II) compound, namely [Zn(L)0.5(pbbbm)]n·6H2O (1 H4L = 3,3′,5,5′-azobenzenetetracarboxylic acid, pbbbm = 1,4-bis(benzimidazole-1-ylmethyl)benzene), has been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 features a three-dimensional (3D) pillar-layered framework and can be simplified into a binodal (4, 4)-connected topological network with the point symbol of {62.84}{64.82}2. In addition, the luminescent and thermal stable properties of this compound were also investigated.
