Abstract

Two coordination polymers, [Zn(EDDT) 0.5(H 2O) 2] (1) and [Zn(EDDT) 0.5(BPE)]·xG (2) (EDDT = 2,2'-(ethyne-1,2-diyl)diterephthalate, BPE = 1,2-bi(4-pyridyl)ethane, G = guest molecule), were solvothermally synthesized from the rigid planar linker of EDDT and the coligand of BPE, respectively, in which complex 1 displays 2D [Zn(EDDT) 0.5] coordination layer, and the resulting 3D supramolecular network is formed via interlayer H-bonding interactions, whereas complex 2 exhibits an intriguing micropourous framework via the coordination of auxiliary ligand BPE. Interestingly, both of them show enhanced strong blue luminescence.
