Abstract
Solvothermal reactions of Zn(NO3)2 with tetrakis(4-pyridyl)cyclobutane (tpcb) and 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (1,4-H2ndc) and 2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (2,3-H2ndc) in different solvents led to the formation of three polydimensional coordination polymers {[Zn2(H2O)(1,4-ndc)2(tpcb)]}n (1), {[Zn(1,4-ndc)(tpcb)0.5]}n (2), and {[Zn2(H2O)(2,3-ndc)2(tpcb)]}n (3). Compounds 1–3 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is a three-dimensional (3D) (3,3)-connected net with a (10·122)·(102·12) Schlafli symbol. Compound 2 holds a 2-fold interpenetrating 3D framework with a (42·62·72)·(4·62·73) Schlafli symbol, which shows hexagonal-prism-like one-dimensional channels. Compound 3 shows a two-dimensional (3,8)-connected network. The solid state luminescent, optical, and thermal stability properties of 1–3 at ambient temperature were also investigated. A comparative study on their photocatalytic activity toward the degradat...
