Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Luminescence Property on Cabazoly-Based Zinc Metal Organic Frameworks
A novel zinc metal organic frameworks, named ZnL(2,2′-bpy), has been successfully synthesized, serving 3,6-dicarboxylic-9-ethylcarbazole acid (H2L) as ligand. This kind of ZnMOFs was characterized by FI-IR, elemental analysis, SEM, powder X-ray diffraction and single crystal X-ray diffraction to illustrate the structures. TG analysis was applied to investigate the thermostability. Structural analysis demonstrates that ZnMOFs possess triclinic crystal structure which is a 1D chain that occurs distorted-octahedral coordination geometry. Furthermore, the luminescent performance of ZnMOFs is performed and discussed in detail. The results show that ZnMOFs can emit blue luminescence originating, which is assigned to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT).
