Abstract

A new two-dimensional polymeric [Zn2(4-pzpt)(btc)(H2O)2·3H2O] (1) (4-Hpzpt = 3-(pyridin-4-yl)-5-(pyrazin-2-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole, H3btc = 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylate), has been synthesized and structurally characterized and features a 3D supramolecular framework with 1D hydrophilic channels formed by the interlayer hydrogen bonds. An unprecedented aqua ligand assisted octameric water cluster consisting of a quasiplanar cyclic hexameric core and two dangling water molecules is captured in 1. The thermal stability and solid state fluorescent property of 1 are discussed.
