One Dimensional Structure of Zn(II) Metal Organic Framework (MOF) Assembled Rapidly at Room Temperature: Structural, Thermal Study, and Luminescent Properties

One-dimensional structure of Zinc(II) metal organic framework ([Zn-2(C10H8N2)(3)(NO3)(4)](a)) has been synthesized at room temperature and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The five-coordinated Zn(II) complex exhibits trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry. The Zn(II) ion is stabilized by three-connected nodes to form 1D ladder structure. The 1D chain is further connected to each other via hydrogen bonding to form 2D structure. Disordered CH2Cl2 solvent molecules were trapped in the pores. The luminescent and thermal properties have been also investigated. In addition, the activation thermodynamic parameters, Delta E-*, Delta H-*, Delta S-* and Delta G(*) are calculated from the DTA curves using Coats-Redfern method.
