Photoluminescent Zn(II) Metal−Organic Frameworks Built from Tetrazole Ligand:  2D Four-Connected Regular Honeycomb (4³6³)-net

Abstract

Two metal−organic frameworks, [Zn 2 (ATA) 3 (ATA) 2/2 ] ( 1 ) and [Zn(OH)(ATA) 2 ] ( 2 ), have been synthesized by the hydrothermal reactions of Zn(II) salts with HATA. 1 displays a unique four-connected 2D bilayer “hcb” 4 3 .6 3 topological network, and shows a strong blue fluorescence at room temperature.
