Abstract
A new coordination polymer (CP), {[Zn(HL)₂(bib)]ₙ.0·25H2O} (1), was synthesized and characterized for its structural, thermal, and luminescence properties. The compound was obtained by reacting H3L= 3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)-5-methylbenzoic acid, bib = 1,4-bis(1-imidazoly)benzene, and Zn(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O in aqueous solution, followed by hydrothermal treatment at 120 °C for 72 h. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a 1D polymeric chain with zinc centres in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, coordinated by carboxylate and imidazole-based ligands. Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed the bonding environment and thermal stability. CP 1 exhibited strong luminescence, peaking at 205 nm upon excitation at 285 nm, and demonstrated selective sensing of ascorbic acid (AA) with a high quenching efficiency (Ksv = 4.35 × 10² M⁻¹) and a detection limit of 3.15 × 10⁻4 M The luminescence was pH-dependent, with optimal fluorescence near neutral pH. These findings highlight the potential of CP 1 as a sensitive probe for AA detection, offering applications in environmental monitoring and chemical sensing.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
