Zinc complexes of T-shaped trans-1,2,3-propenetricarboxylic acid with 1-D ribbon-like chain, 2-D rhombus-grid-like and herringbone-like layers, and non-interpenetrating 3-D open framework.
Five zinc complexes of T-shaped trans-1,2,3-propenetricarboxylic acid (H(3)L) with 1-D ribbon-like chain, 2-D rhombus-grid-like and herringbone-like layers, and non-interpenetrating 3-D open framework have been obtained based on different building blocks. X-ray single crystal analyses show that the T-shaped information of H(3)L was nicely expressed in the construction of herringbone-like or ladder-like structure. All compounds were found to display blue fluorescent emissions.
