Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Properties of a 1D Metal- Organic Coordination Polymer {[Zn2(2,2′,3,3′-odpa)(py)3(H2O)]·H2O}n

Hydrothermal reaction of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O with 2,2′,3,3′-oxydiphthalic acid (H4odpa) and pyridine (py) at 120 ◦C yielded a one-dimensional metal-organic coordination polymer {[Zn2(2,2′,3,3′odpa)(py)3(H2O)]·H2O}n (1), which is further connected together through hydrogen bonds, π· · ·π and C−H· · ·π interactions to give a three-dimensional supramolecular network. The thermal stability of complex 1 was studied by thermal gravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analyses (DTA). Compound 1 exhibits photoluminescence with an emission maximum at ca. 430 nm upon excitation at 350 nm.
