Three novel fluorescent Zn(II) frameworks, namely [Zn(DPA)(NDA)]·2DMF (1), [Zn(DPA)(OBA)]·2DMF·4HO (2) and [Zn(DPA)(HNTB)]·HO (3) (DPA = 2,5-di(pyridin-4-yl)aniline, HNDA = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, HOBA = 4,4'-oxydibenzoic acid, HNTB = 4,4',4''-nitrilotribenzoic acid, DMF = ,-dimethylformamide), were successfully fabricated and structurally characterized. Due to the variety of organic linkers, 1-3 exhibit varied topologies: 1 is a 4-c three-dimensional (3D) framework with {6·8} topology, 2 is a 6-c 3D net with point symbol of {4·6·8}, and 3 is a 4-c two-dimensional network that further stacks into a 3D structure by hydrogen bonding interactions with {4·6} topology. Experiments related to fluorescence show that 1-3 can be utilized to quickly identify specific anions of CrO/CrO, and organic molecules such as 2,4,6-trinitrophenol and benzaldehyde.

Article Synopsis
  • Selective binding and optical sensing of Zn(II) and Cd(II) in water were studied using different receptors (L1, HL2, L3, HL4, HL5) to see how complex stability affects metal signaling.
  • The receptors all have a cyclic tetra-amine structure combined with either one or two quinoline or 8-hydroxyquinoline units, influencing their properties and interactions.
  • The study showed that Zn(II) forms more stable complexes with some receptors, while Cd(II) complexes benefit from better fitting in specific cavities, leading to unique optical behaviors for each metal in their respective complexes.

To realize the aim of easy and accurate detection of ammonia and picric acid (PA) in both aqueous and vapor phases based on function-oriented investigation principles, in the present study, we include a luminescent performance with recognition performance, taking into account the application conditions. Zn(II) ions with luminescence qualities and an amine-substituted imidazole moiety with selective recognition properties towards picric acid and ammonia are coupled to generate a novel 1D luminous Zn(II) coordination polymer, Zn-CP [{Zn(II)( 2-ABZ)2(2-BDC)}].MeOH]∞, where 2-ABZ and 2-BDC stand for terephthalic acid and protonated 2 aminobenzimidazole, respectively.

Three 1-(anthracene-9-ylmethyl)-3-isopropyl-imidazol-2-thione Zn(II) halide complexes (1-3) and one 1-(anthracene-9-ylmethyl)-3-isopropyl-imidazol-2-selone Zn(II) dichloride complex (4) were synthesized and characterized. Complexes 2, 3, and 4 exhibited distorted tetrahedral geometries, while complex 1 adopted a regular tetrahedral geometry. All these complexes displayed emission in the crystalline state, with complex 3 emitting in the yellow region and complex 1 and 4 in the blue region, while complex 2 gave a bluish-green emission.

Two new zinc(II) complexes, tri-ethyl-ammonium di-chlorido-[2-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-4-phenyl-quinolin-8-olato]zinc(II), (CHN){Zn(CHNO)Cl] (), and bis-(tri-ethyl-ammonium) {2,2'-[1,4-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}bis-[di-chlorido-zinc(II)], (CHN)[Zn(CHNO)Cl] (), were synthesized and their structures were determined using ESI-MS spectrometry, H NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the ligands 2-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-4-phenyl-quinolin-8-ol () and ,'-bis-(2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)benzene-1,4-di-amine () were deprotonated by tri-ethyl-amine, forming the counter-ion EtNH, which inter-acts an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond with the ligand. The Zn atoms have a distorted trigonal-pyramidal () and distorted tetra-hedral () geometries with a coord-ination number of four, coordinating with the ligands N and O atoms.
