A new inorganic-organic photoluminescent material constructed with helical [Zn3(μ3-OH)(μ2-OH)] chains

A New Inorganic-Organic Photoluminescent Material Constructed with Helical [Zn-3(mu (3)-OH)(mu (2)-OH)] Chains A photoluminescent inorganic-organic material formulated as [Zn-3(mu (3)-OH)(mu (2)-OH)(4,4'-bpy)(0.5)-(4,4'-oba)(2)].0.5H(2)O (4,4'-bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine; 4,4'-oba = 4,4'-oxybis(benzoate)), shown by X-ray diffraction, features a novel polynuclear zinc helical chain motif. Linkage of mixed organic ligands and helical chains results in a 3-D network.
