A novel 2D (3,5)-connected coordination framework with Zn2(COO)3 SBU

A novel 2D Zn(II)-organic coordination framework, [Zn2(hfipbb)2]n (1) (hfipbb = 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis(benzoate)), has been synthesized under hydrothermal reaction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that 1 is a (3,5)-connected coordination network based on Zn2(COO)3 secondary building unit and flexible V-shaped organic linkers. The luminescent property and thermal stability of 1 have also been investigated.
