2D molecular square grid with strong blue fluorescent emission: A complex of norfloxacin with zinc(II)

2D Molecular Square Grid with Strong Blue Fluorescent Emission: A Complex of Norfloxacin with Zinc(II) The hydrothermal reactions of norfloxacin (H-Norf) with Zn(OH)(2) and Zn(NO3)(2). 6H(2)O respectively, afford two different products, Zn(Norf)(2). 4H(2)O (1) and Zn-(H-Norf)(2). (NO3)(2). 2H(2)O(2). 1 represents, to our knowledge, an unprecedented neutral metal-based molecular square grid with strong blue fluorescent emission.
