Metal coordination polymers constructed from organic ligands and metal cations have received attention because of their structural diversity and interesting physical and chemical properties, including adsorption, molecular separation, heterogeneous catalysis and non-linear optics (Sumida et al., 2012; Colombo et al., 2012; Henke et al., 2012). The development of such materials for various applications is reliant on the functionalities and modulations of the inorganic central atom and the organic linker. Materials constructed from d10 metal ions can be promising photoactive candidates (Lan et al., 2009; Qin et al., 2014). For example, a series of zinc- and cadmium-based coordination polymers were reported to be luminescent sensors for the detection of small organic molecules (Yi et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2013). On the other hand, the choice of the organic ligand or linkers is important for the supramolecular arrangement.
Among the various organic ligands used for the construction of coordination polymers, nitrogen-donor species are dominant due to their strong affinities for binding metal atoms (Yang et al., 2013, 2014). In particular, imidazoles are of great interest for the construction of zeolite imidazolate frameworks, which exhibit high stability and practical applications (Phan et al., 2010). By further modification of imidazole ligands, various compounds with different structural set-ups have been reported, including one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional architectures (Kan et al., 2012). Recently, two one-dimensional imidazole-based zinc complexes were synthesized by using 1,4-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene (dib), and 1,3,5-tri(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene (tib) as ligands (Wang et al., 2014). To obtain further effects on the final structure by modification of the substituent of the imidazoles, 1-(biphenyl-4-yl)-1H-imidazole (bpi) was chosen as ligand and reacted with Zn2+ ions in this work, yielding the title compound ZnCl2(C15H12N2)2, (I). Apart from the structure determination, its photoluminescent properties are also reported.
As shown in Fig. 1, the asymmetric unit of (I) consists of one zinc(II) cation, two bpi ligands and two chlorine ligands. The cation has a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere defined by the free imidazole N atoms and two Cl atoms. The Zn—N and Zn—Cl bond lengths (Table 1) are typical for tetrahedrally coordinated ZnII. The dihedral angles between the two phenyl rings in the two bpi ligands are 37.52 (14) and 42.45 (14)°, respectively, while the dihedral angles between the phenyl rings and the attached imidazole rings are 37.13 (14) and 40.05 (14)°.
ZnII-based compounds with metal-organic framework structures are well-known for their luminescence properties. The photoluminescence spectrum of compound (I) in the solid state is shown in Fig. 2. On excitation at 278 nm, the emission band is centred at 350 nm. Compared to the free bpi ligand, which exhibits one main fluorescent emission band around 400 nm when excited at 271 nm, the emission band of complex (I) is about 50 nm hypochromatically shifted. Considering metal atoms with a d10 electron configuration and the bonding interactions with the ligand, such broad emission bands may be assigned to a ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT), admixing with metal-to-ligand (MLCT) and ligand-to-metal (LMCT) charge transfers (Gong et al., 2011).
As mentioned before, the imidazole-based ligands dib and tib, featuring two and three imidazole rings, respectively, can adopt different structural dimensionalities. The bpi ligand used in this study, however, has only one available N-donor, thus preventing the formation of a polymeric structure. Nevertheless, there are weak intermolecular π–π stacking interactions between single molecules in the crystal packing. The terminal phenyl ring and the imidazole ring of a neighbouring ligand are tilted to each other by 11.72 (17)°, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.751 Å (Fig. 3).
All chemicals were purchased commercially and used without further purification. A mixture of ZnCl2 (81.6 mg, 5 mmol), bpi (130 mg, 0.6 mmol), and de-ionized water (9 ml) was loaded into a 20 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave. The autoclave was sealed and heated at 423 K for 5 d, and then cooled to room temperature by switching off the furnace. Colourless block-shaped crystals were isolated, which were filtered off and washed with de-ionized water. The final product was dried at ambient temperature (yield 75% based on zinc). Analysis calculated (wt%) for ZnCl2(C15H12N2)2: C, 62.47; H, 4.19; N, 9.71. Found: C, 62.45; H, 4.15; N, 9.79.
Elemental analyses of C, H, and N were conducted on a Perkin–Elmer 2400 elemental analyser. The photoluminescence (PL) excitation and emission spectra were recorded with an F-7000 luminescence spectrometer equipped with a xenon lamp of 450 W as an excitation light source. The photomultiplier tube voltage was 400 V, the scan speed was 1200 nm min-1, both the excitation and the emission slit widths were 5.0 nm.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
