Solvothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Luminescent Properties of a 3D MOF Based on 4,6-Dimethyl-5-nitroisophthalic Acid

A new 3D metal organic framework, {[Zn4(dna)4(dpb)2(H2O)2]·H2O}n(1, H2 dna = 4,6-dimethyl-5-nitroisophthalic acid; dpb = 1,4-bis-(4-pyridyl)-benzene), has been solvothermally synthesized and characterized by TGA, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystalizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 15.169(2), b = 13.0539(18), c = 9.1669(13) A, C18H17N2O8 Zn, Mr = 454.71, V = 1798.9(4) A3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.679 g·cm-3, μ = 1.418 mm-1, F(000) = 932, 2.07≤θ≤25.00°, λ(Mo Kα) = 0.71073 A, T = 273(2) K, the final R = 0.0300, w R = 0.0754 and S = 1.028. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complex 1 possesses a 3D pcu framework constructed by(4,4)-connected 2D layers and dpb linkers. In addition, the solid state luminescent property of complex 1 at room temperature was also investigated.
