Synthesis and structure of a 2D Zn complex with mixed ligands stacked in offset ABAB manner

Аннотация

The title complex, {[Zn(ODIB)_1/2(bpdc)]·2DMF}_n was prepared under hydrothermal conditions (dimethylformamide and water) based on two ligands, namely, 1,1′-oxy-bis[3,5-diimidazolyl-benzene] (ODIB) and biphenyldicarboxylic acid (H₂bpdc). ODIB ligands link Zn cations to give layers in crystal. bpdc^2– anions coordinate to Zn atoms, however, their introduction does not increase the dimension of the structure. Each layer is partially passes through the adjacent layers in the offset ABAB manner.
