1 INTRODUCTION
Over the last two decades, the chemists have devoted themselves to the development of new crystalline materials with a variety of functions, properties, and potential applications, such as fluorescence[1-5], magnetism[6-12], catalysis[13], sensing material[14], gas sorption[15, 16], etc. The factors influencing the construction of MOFs are complicated. In particular, the organic ligands have significant influences on the desirable MOFs because of conformational preferences, steric hindrance effects, flexibility, and so on. Thus, the prospect of controlling the structures and properties of MOFs by the selection of suitable organic ligands has attracted more interest in the researches on metalorganic frameworks[17-27].
The ligand BIB[1, 3-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene] is a V-shaped flexible ligand. The flexible nature of spacers allows the ligands to bend and rotate when they coordinate to metal centers, which often causes structural diversity[28-32]. The bdc(1, 3-benzenedicarboxylate) is a bent linker, having been demonstrated excellent coordinating ability, giving various novel complexes with the structure aberrancy, and its complexes may have novel networks[33-35]. In order to test the ability of this ligand to give new architectures, we use BIB ligand and aromatic carboxylic acid bdc as a co-ligand to coordinate with the metal Zn(II) cation, obtaining a novel complex with intriguing structure, [Zn(BIB)(bdc)]n (1).
2 EXPERIMENTAL
2.1 Materials and general procedures
All chemicals and solvents were commercially purchased and used without further purification. The BIB ligand was synthesized according to the reported method[36]. Elemental analysis was carried out on a Perkin-Elmer 240C elemental analyzer. Infrared (IR) spectra were recorded on a Bruker Vector 22 FTIR spectrophotometer by using KBr discs. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns were obtained on a Philips X-pert X-ray diffractometer. Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) were performed on a Perkin Elmer Pyris II thermal analyzer in nitrogen at a heating rate of 20 ℃⋅min-1. The luminescence spectra for the powdered solid samples were measured on a SHIMAZU VF-320Xray fluorescence spectrophotometer at room temperature upon excitation at 331 nm (gap at 1.5 mm).
2.2 Synthesis of the complex
A mixture of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O (29.7 mg, 0.1 mmol), BIB (21.0 mg, 0.1 mmol), and bdc (16.6 mg, 0.1 mmol) was dissolved in 9 mL of DMF/H2O (2:1, v/v). The final mixture was sealed in a 15 mL Parr Teflon-lined stainless-steel vessel and heated at 85 ℃ for 3 days, and then the reaction system was cooled to room temperature. Colorless rectangular block crystals of complex 1 were obtained, washed with water, and dried under ambient conditions (Yields: 54% for complex 1 based on Zn).

2.3 Crystal structure determination
A single crystal with dimensions of 0.30mm × 0.28mm × 0.26mm was selected and determined by a Bruker Smart Apex Ⅱ CCD diffractometer with a graphite-monochromatic MoKα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) by using a φ-ω scan mode at 293(2) K. Out of the total 32536 reflections collected in the range of 2.45≤θ≤27.56º, 8460 were independent with Rint = 0.0501, of which 7072 were considered to be observed (I > 2σ(I)). The structure of complex 1 was solved by direct methods and refined on F2 by full-matrix least-squares technique[37]. All nonhydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically and the hydrogen atoms were added theoretically. The selected bond lengths and bond angles are given in Table 1. The final refinement gives R = 0.0541, wR = 0.0935 (w = 1/[σ2(Fo 2) + (aP)2 + bP], where P = (Fo 2 + 2Fc 2)/3), Goodness-of-fit is 1.027, (Δρ)max = 0.711 and (Δρ)min = -0.481 e/Å3.

3.1 Structure description of the crystal
Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that complex 1 is a 2D coordination polymer, monoclinic crystal system of P2/c. Complex 1 contains two crystallographically independent Zn(II) cations (Zn(1) and Zn(2)) that are four-coordinated with two O atoms (O(1), O(4#3) and O(5), O(8#3), respectively) of the two bdc molecules and two N atoms of the two BIB molecules (N(1), N(4#4) and N(5), N(8#4), respectively). The Zn-O lengths fall in the range of 1.9377(18) ~ 1.974(2) Å, the Zn-N lengths are 2.013(2) ~ 2.039(2) Å, which are all in good agreement with those typically observed[38], as shown in Fig. 1. The Co(Ⅱ) complex (2) contains two crystallographically independent Co(II) cations (Co(1 )and Co(2))[29], but the Co(Ⅱ) cations adopt two different coordination modes. Co(1) and Co(2) adopt six- and five-coordination modes, respectively. The Co(II) cations (Co(1) and Co(2)) are coordinated with O atoms from the bdc molecules together with two N atoms from two BIB molecules. The Co(Ⅱ) complex (2) is a 2D coordination polymer in triclinic space group P1.
The crystal unit contains two [Zn(BIB)] units, which are chemically identical while not related by crystallographic symmetry. The [Zn(BIB)] units are connected to each other, which leads to a neutral double 1D polymeric chain structure due to the different rotation degree for the BIB ligand. There exist two different double 1D polymeric chains in complex 1 (Fig. 2). Two different 1D chains are connected by the bdc ligands to form a 2D coordination framework (Fig. 3). It is interesting that two BIB and bdc ligands link four Zn(II) cations to form an approximately rectangular [Zn4(BIB)2(bdc)2] 36-membered ring, with the diagonal of rectangle to be 15.041(1) Å (Fig. 3).
3.2 Thermal stability and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD)
Thermogravimetric analysis of complex 1 (TGA, Supporting Information, Fig. 4) shows that no weight loss is observed until it reached 396 ℃, at which the decomposition of complex 1 occurred. To confirm whether the crystal structure is truly representative of the bulk material, powder X-ray diffraction analysis (PXRD) experiment was carried out for complex 1. The measured peak positions closely match the simulated ones (Fig. 5). They show that the bulk synthesized materials and the measured single crystals are the same.
3.3 Fluorescence property of the title complex
The complexes with d10 metal centers have been investigated for fluorescent properties with potential applications in photochemistry, chemical sensors, and light-emitting diodes[39]. The luminescent spectra of complex 1 and the ligands were examined in the solid state at room temperature (Fig. 6). Emissions of the ligands were observed with wavelengths at 351 nm in BIB (λex = 331 nm) and 388 nm (λex = 331 nm) in bdc, which both could be attributed to the π*-π transitions. Complex 1 showed an intense broad photoluminescence with maximum emission at 391 nm upon excitation at 331 nm, which is close to the emission at 388 nm of the bdc ligand under the same conditions. Therefore, the emission observed in complex 1 is attributed to the π-π* intraligand photoluminescence due to its resemblance to that of the bdc ligand. And the enhancement and slight red-shift of complex 1 compared to that of the bdc ligand probably result from the fact that the coordination of Zn(II) ions increases the ligand conformational rigidity and thus reduces the loss of energy through a radiationless pathway[40].
4 CONCLUSION
In summary, a novel zinc metal complex 1 has been successfully synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Complex 1 is a two-dimensional doublelayer structure. The alliance of BIB and bdc is good for diversity of the getatable compound structure. Additionally, complex 1 displays better fluorescence and thermal stability.
