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.

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.

Ran-binding domain-containing protein 2 (ZRANB2) is a zinc finger (ZF) protein that plays a key role in alternative splicing. ZRANB2 is composed of two ZF domains that contain four invariant cysteine residues per domain. ZRANB2 binds RNA targets that contain AGGUAA sequence motifs.
