Two new complexes, [Zn₂(L1)(HL1)(NO₃)]·CH₃OH (1) and [Zn₃(L2)(L3)₃Cl]·CH₃OH (2), were successfully synthesized by'one-pot'method based on cinnoline-3-ylhydrazine ligand and zinc with 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenz-aldehyde and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde ligands, respectively, where H₂L1=5-methoxy-2-(phthalazin-1-yl-hydrazonomethyl)-phenol, H₂L2=2-methoxy-6-(phthalazin-1-yl-hydrazonomethyl)-phenol, HL3=2-(1, 8-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-α]phthalazin-3-yl)-6-methoxy-phenol. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, etc. It is worth noting that the cinnolin-3-yl-hydrazine ligand and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde form two types of Schiff bases (H₂L2 and HL3) when in situ reacting and coordinating with Zn(Ⅱ), and HL3 also has two coordination modes. In addition, the fluorescence performance showed that complex 1 can achieve selective and sensitive sensing of Al³⁺ in water with a detection limit of 6.37 μmol·L^-1.
