(1,4-bpyvna) and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (1,3,5-H3BTC) (molar ratio = 1:1:1) at 120 °C in CH3CN/H2O (v/v = 1:2) afforded one three-dimensional (3D) coordination
polymer [Zn2(1,4-bpyvna)(1,3,5-HBTC)2(H2O)]n (1). Similar
reactions with the same three components at 140 °C in dimethylformamide
(DMF)/CH3CN/H2O produced another 3D coordination
polymer {[Zn2(1,4-bpyvna)(1,3,5-BTC)(OH)]·H2O}n (2) in 72% yield.
When the molar ratio of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, 1,4-bpyvna, and 1,3,5-H3BTC was changed to 1:1:2,
the analogous treatment at 140 °C yielded one one-dimensional
coordination polymer {[Zn(1,3,5-HBTC)2(H2O)][1,4-bpyvna-H2]·CH3CN}n (3, 1,4-bpyvna-H2 = 4,4′-((1,1′)-naphthalene-1,4-diylbis(ethene-2,1-diyl))bis(pyridin-1-ium)).
Solvothermal reactions of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O with equimolar 1,4-bpyvna and 1 or 2 equiv of 4,4′-oxidibenzoic
acid (4,4′-H2OBA) at 120 °C in DMF/CH3CN/hexane resulted in the formation of {[Zn2(1,4-bpyvna)(4,4′-OBA)2]·0.5DMF·2.25H2O}n (4) and {[Zn2(1,4-bpyvna)(4,4′-OBA)2]·3DMF}n (5), respectively. Compounds 1–5 were
characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray
diffraction, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric
analysis. Upon addition of Hg2+ ions to the DMF solution
of 1,4-bpyvna, remarkable changes in the absorbance and emissive spectra
were observed, associated with color changes, which were easily identified
by the naked eye. This ligand could serve as a chemoprobe with the
detection limit of Hg2+ being 0.060 ppm. When solid 2 was added in the DMF solution containing Hg(NO3)2, the emission color of 2 was also changed
from blue to yellow, and its detection limit of Hg2+ was
as low as 0.057 ppm. This compound can be reused for several cycles
without evident efficiency decay. Compound 2 would be
a promising sensitive naked-eye indicator for low-concentration Hg2+ with high sensitivity and selectivity.
