摘要

In the title coordination polymer, [Zn-2(C14H8N2O4)(2)(C12H10N2)](n), the asymmetric unit contains one Zn-II cation, two halves of 2,2'-(diazene-1,2-diyl)dibenzoate anions (denoted L2-) and half of a 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethene ligand (denoted bpe). The three ligands lie across crystallographic inversion centres. Each Zn-II centre is four-coordinated by three O atoms of bridging carboxylate groups from three L2- ligands and by one N atom from a bpe ligand, forming a tetrahedral coordination geometry. Two Zn-II atoms are bridged by two carboxylate groups of L2- ligands, generating a [Zn-2(CO2)(2)] ring. Each loop serves as a fourfold node, which links its four equivalent nodes via the sharing of four L2- ligands to form a two-dimensional [Zn2L4](n) net. These nets are separated by bpe ligands acting as spacers, producing a three-dimensional framework with a 4(6)6(4) topology. Powder X-ray diffraction and solid-state photoluminescence were also measured.
