Abstract
Abstract Solvothermal reactions of Zn(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O with 3,6-bis(1-imidazolyl)carbazole (3,6-bmcz) and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (1,4-H 2 bdc), p-phenylenediacetic acid (p-H 2 pda), benzophenone-4,4-dicarboxylic acid (H 2 bpda) afforded three coordination polymers [Zn(1,4-bdc)(3,6-bmcz)] n ( 1 ), {[Zn(p-pda)(3,6-bmcz)]·1.5H 2 O} n ( 2 ) and {[Zn(bpda)(3,6-bmcz)]·0.25H 2 O} n ( 3 ). Complexes 1–3 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, powder X-ray diffraction, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 shows 3D structure with 2D nets inclined polycatenation. Complexes 2 and 3 possess an extended 3D supramolecular architecture based on their respective 2D layers through hydrogen-bonding interactions and the π···π stacking interactions. The solid state luminescent and optical properties of 1 – 3 at ambient temperature were also investigated. A comparative study on their photocatalytic activity toward the degradation of methylene blue in polluted water was explored.
