Single-crystal X-ray determination shows that complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 9.488(2), b = 13.247(3), c = 12.959(4) A, β = 126.716(19)°, Z = 4, V= 1305.6(6)/k3, C10H11N3O8Zn, Dc = 1.865 g/cm3, Mr = 366.61, 2(MoKa) = 0.71073 A, μ= 1.930 mm1, F(000) = 744, R = 0.0472 and wR = 0.1487. Fluorescent analysis showed an intense emission band at 422 nm when the exciting radiation was set at 378 nm.

Both complexes 1 and 2 crystallize inmonoclinic, space group P21/c. Compound 1 displays a two-dimensional(2D) structure with two distinct types of helical chains; 2 shows a layered coordination polymer with two types of helical chains and features an interesting 2D→3D interdigitated architecture. Meanwhile, the luminescent properties of 1 and 2 have also been investigated in detail.展开更多

Single-crystal X-ray analysis has revealed that the complex crystallizes in a monoclinic system, space group Pn with a = 8.394(2), b = 9.976(3), c = 9.959(3) ? ?= 104.409(4)? V = 807.6(4) ?, Z = 2, C14H12N4O4Zn, Mr = 365.65, Dc = 1.504 g/cm3, ?= 1.544 mm-1, F(000) = 372, the final R = 0.0466 and wR = 0.1171 for 1834 reflections with I >2(I). The complex displays a zigzag infinite chain structure in which each zinc (Ⅱ) center is coordinated by two oxygen atoms and two nitrogen atoms to generate a ZnN2O2 distorted tetrahedral geometry. The neighboring zinc atoms are bridged by the o-phthalate ligand. Each chain is linked by hydrogen bonds with its neighbors to form a three-dimensional coordination polymer.展开更多
