Two new luminescent Zn(II) compounds constructed from guanazole and aromatic polycarboxylate ligands

Two new Zn(II) compounds, namely [(CH3)2NH2]2n[Zn3(bpt)2(datrz)2]n (1) and [(CH3)2NH2)]n[Zn2(bptc)(datrz)]n·n(H2O) (2) (H3bpt = biphenyl-3,4′,5-tricarboxylic acid, H4bptc = biphenyl-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarboxylic acid, Hdatrz = 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole), have been obtained by the self-assemble reactions of Zn(NO3)2, 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole, aromatic polycarboxylate ligands under solvothermal conditions. Single crystal X-ray structural analyses reveal that both compounds display three-dimensional (3D) frameworks. Compound 1 features a trinodal (3, 4, 6)-connected topological network with the point symbol of {4.62}2{4.64.8}{46.64.85}. Compound 2 displays a binodal (4, 6)-connected topological network with the point symbol of {32.62.72}{34.42.64.75}. In addition, the thermal stabilities and luminescent properties of compounds 1 and 2 were also investigated in the solid state at room temperature.
