摘要

A new zinc(II) homometallic coordination polymer (CP), {[Zn(TAA-OH)(2)] center dot 1.5H(2)O}(n) (1) (HTAA-OH = 2-(5-hydroxy-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl) acetic acid) has been synthesized via an in-situ synthetic approach and structurally characterized in detail. In 1, the HTAA-OH ligand is generated in-situ by the nucleophilic addition of 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl) acetic acid. CP 1 features a 2D structure with sql topology, where the neighboring Zn(II) ions are bridged through two oxygen atoms of carboxyl group and two nitrogen atoms of triazole from the HTAA-OH ligands. Luminescence study shows that 1 dispersed in acetonitrile performs a distinct luminescence enhancing effect upon addition of benzonitrile, indicating that 1 is a promising fluorescence chemosensor for benzonitrile.
