Synthesis and Structural Characterization of a Zinc Cooridination Polymer with bis(4-(1H-Imidazol-1-Yl)Phenyl)Methanone and 4-Nitrophthalate

Resumo

A zinc coordination polymer with the formula {[Zn(npa)(L¹)]·2H₂O}_n (1) (L¹ = bis(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone, H₂npa = 4-nitrophthalic acid) is synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Zn²⁺ ion has a distorted tetrahedral environment with two O atoms from two npa ligands and two N atoms from two L¹ ligands. Each L¹ acts as a bridging ligand to link the neighboring [Zn(npa)]₂ dimers to form a 1D ladder.
