Abstract:
A new metal–organic framework of Zn(II) ion,
[Zn(muco)(bipy)2H2O] (where, muco = trans, transmuconate
dianion, bipy = 4,40
-bipyridine) has been synthesized
by solvothermal reaction of Zn(II) ion, muco
ligand and bipy spacer. X-ray structure determination
reveals that compound 1 has a 3D diamondoid (dia)
framework with novel fivefold interpenetrating nets.
Topological analysis shows the presence of 4-connected
Zn(II) nodes with {66
} topology. Thermal analysis reveals
that the compound is stable up to 340 C. Photoluminescence
study shows the emission of 1 owing to the presence
of muco ligand and the intensity of luminescence emission
is higher than that of free muco ligand.
