Abstract
A two-dimensional barium(II) coordination polymer, [Ba(4-FBA)2(4-FBAH)]n (4-FBA− = 4-formylbenzoate), has been synthesized by the reaction of barium carbonate and 4-formylbenzoic acid. The barium(II) ion is nine-coordinated by eight O atoms from six deprotonated 4-FBA− ligands and one O atom from the terminal 4-FBAH ligand. Adjacent barium(II) ions are linked by the 4-FBA− ligand to furnish a two-dimensional lamellar structure which exhibits blue fluorescent emission in the solid state at room temperature.
