Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Luminescent Property of One Zinc(II) Complex Based on 5-Methoxyisophthalate Ligand

Abstract

A new Zn(II) complex, {[Zn2(CH3O-ip)2(bib)]·(H2O)}n (1) (CH3O-H2ip = 5-methoxyisophthalic acid, bib = 1,4-bis(2-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)butane, was synthesized and studied by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 crystallizes in triclinic system with space group Pī, and exhibits a two-dimensional (2-D) (3,4)-connected net. In addition, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and luminescent property of 1 were investigated.
