Abstract
Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (H2PDA) as a very important carboxylate derivative was attracted much attention in coordination chemistry. In H2PDA, there is a 120° angle between the central rigid pyridine ring and two carboxylate groups. Therefore, it could potentially provide various coordination motifs to form discrete or consecutive metal complexes under the appropriate synthesis condition. There are a few literatures reported about the complexes based on H2PDA.In this paper, a new coordination polymer [Zn(PDA)]n(H2PDA=Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid) was synthesized with hydrothermal method, and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectrum,TGA and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound exhibits an two-dimensional(2D) grid framework structure. The crystal crystallizes in an orthorhombic system, space group of Pbcn with a=0.6730(3) nm, b=1.4156(6) nm, c=0.7299(3) nm, V=0.6954(6) nm3, Z=4. Each Zn(Ⅱ) is five coordination with three PDA2-, and Zn(Ⅱ) adopts a distorted trigonal bipyramid coordination mode. The two-dimensional(2D) grid framework structure is built by the connection of Zn(Ⅱ) and PDA2+. The border length of the grid framework is 0.5082 nm×0.5082 nm. The two pyridine rings in the adjacent PDA2-are parallel with each other, and the center distance between them is 0.39275 nm. So, weak π-π stacking interaction exists in the structure of [Zn(PDA)]n. The luminescent property of [Zn(PDA)]n was investigated. The luminescence emission spectrum of [Zn(PDA)]n is the same as the the ligand pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, and also the two weak peaks. So, we conclude that the electron transition gap is not changed when Zn(Ⅱ) coordinated to PDA2-.
