Popis: Supramolecular 3D Zn(II) coordination polymer {[Zn(bim)(bdc)]⋅0.8DMF⋅0.4EtOH⋅0.1H2O }n (Zn-MOF), constructed from Zn2+ ions, bis(imidazol-1-yl)methane (bim) and terephthalate (bdc2−) anions, was synthesized and structurally characterized. Zn-MOF crystallizes in the tetragonal crystal system, space group P42/n. Each Zn(II) ion coordinates two neutral bim molecules in a bridging bidentate coordination mode via nitrogen atoms at position 3 of the imidazole rings and two bdc2− anions, with monodentate coordination of the carboxylate group for one of them and bidentate coordination for another. Zn(II) cations are in a distorted square pyramidal ZnN2O3 coordination environment. Metal cations are alternately linked by the bim and bdc2− ligands, forming a two-dimensional layered structure along the crystallographic plane ab. As a result of layer interpenetration, a supramolecular 3D network is formed. Zn-MOF demonstrated blue (aquamarine) emission with a maximum at 430 nm upon excitation at 325 nm. The luminescence lifetime of 6 ns is characteristic for ligand-centered fluorescence. The luminescent sensing properties of Zn-MOF in ethanol suspension toward inorganic cations and anions were evaluated and an emission quenching response was observed for Fe3+ and chromate/dichromate ions. Photoinduced electron transfer from Zn-MOF to Fe3+ was elucidated as a possible quenching mechanism on the basis of DFT calculations.
