Abstract
A luminescent coordination polymer, {[Zn(TIPA)(D-cam)]·H2O}n(1), where TIPA = tris(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)amine and D-H2cam = D (+)-camphorate dianion, was successfully synthesized. This polymer exhibits a two-fold polythreading architecture characterized by undulated grid structures with a (4, 4) net topology. Unlike previously reported luminescent coordination polymers based on TIPA, the emission intensity of compound 1 is significantly higher than that of TIPA, with a slight red shift. This enhancement can be attributed to the electron-donating properties and flexibility of D-H2cam. The investigation of the photoluminescence mechanism revealed that the emission of 1 originates from the intraligand charge transfer transitions (π → π*). In addition, 1 exhibits a good ability to recognize Fe3+, Cr₂O₇2−, nitromethane, and nitrobenzene. Interestingly, compound 1 also demonstrates a rapid photochromic reaction to UV irradiation under environmental conditions. This can be attributed to electron transfer (ET) between the polyimidazole ligand TIPA and D-H₂cam.

Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
